not be prosecuted, and also that ne
would not be fined, and further, that he
would receive good treatment in the

In order that every thing said

in the country, namely from speci-

bees can be kept: what use they
are to crops; and how stings may
be avoided in the handling of the
honeytnakers.
1T may be safely said that any
place where farming, gardening or
fruit raising can be successfully
followed is adapted to the prof.,

way at least, if not extensively.
Many of these localities will sun
