. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. [No. 121. Vol. XI.] MAY 1, 1883. [Published Fortnightly.] (^bitoxkl, llotucs, #r. M A Y. The Dual System does not seem to work very satisfactorily in the present day. The Dual Con- trol exercised over the finances of Egypt by England and France has been dissolved with general approval. The dual garment or divided skirt does not seem to make much way in popular estimation ; and the dual system, where it has been adopted in our County Bee-keepers' Associations, seems to be making way , for a less complex and more practicable mode of procedure. It has been found a mistake to join two counties together to form one Association. One count}' is certainly quite as much as one secretary can work properly and to his own satisfaction. A diffidence as to the interest likely to be taken in bee-keeping, and the number of members likely to join the Association, has no doubt been at the root of the desire to secure as large an area as possible from which subscriptions can be collected; but this diffidence is soon dispelled where the organization of an Association is completed, and the work begins in good earnest. A dual County Association is always liable to a strong local society taking up an indepen- dent position and claiming to be the recognised Association of the county in which its members dwell. This has been the case in the Association which started under the name of Lancashire and Cheshire. The Altrincham and Bowdon District Society has discovered its own strength, and has claimed the privileges and title of the Cheshire County Association. Thus we have in existence at one and the same moment a 'Cheshire' and a ' Lan- cashire and Cheshire'Association, which is certainly an anomaly; and we trust that the dual Association, which is not yet a year old, will have the good sense to leave Cheshire in the hands of its own Association, and devote itself to working Lancashire as a county with such a teeming population deserves
