He began working for the Michigan Southern & Northern Indiana railroad, now known as the L. S. & M. S., in the capacity of a baggage-man. In 1861 he left this position and went into the army. In the spring of 1863 he commenced work at Newburg, N. Y., building marine and stationary engines. He was married to Miss Frances Gardner Sept. 27, 1865. He now has a family of seven children— four boys and three" girls. In 1867 he removed to Clinton, Mich., and started a machine shop of his own, and he has been engaged in building machinei-y ever since. He has been interested in bees for a good many years, and commenced the business in 1866. He has not been a prolific writer, but, as will be seen by Prof. Cook's sketch, he has rendered valuable service to bee-keepers, > par- ticularly those of Michigan. He was President of the Southeastern Bee-Keep- ers' Association, also President of the North American Bee-Keepers' Associa- tion for 1886, and is now Superinten- dent of the Bee and Honey Department of the Detroit Exposition. He has acted as an expert judge of bees, honey, and supplies, at many of the largest exhibi- tions. Besides bees, Mr. Cutting is in- terested in poultry and small fruits. He is also a student of the microscope, and finds great pleasure in all these pas- times. He is strongly opposed to the use of intoxicants and tobacco, and so far none of his children use them. So much for a good example.

He is a very fine
