Death of Mr. John Thornton We have word of the death of Mr. John Thornton, of Lima. 111., a well- known beekeeper and fruit grower of that district. Mr. Thornton was only 58 years old at the time of his death. A Series of Short Courses for April A letter from Doctor Phillips con- veys the information that a series of short courses for commercial bee- keepers, similar to those held in Cali- fornia and New York, are planned for mid-western States during the month of April. The first is to be held at Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., from April 7 to 12. The second will be held at Ames, Iowa, at the State College of Agriculture, from April 14 to 19, and the week following at Uni- versity Farm, St. Paul, Minn., from April 21 to 26, a similar course will be held.
