I find one of the largest English apiarian suppliers cannot retail Dadant's thin foundation under Us. 3d. per pound, and Dadant's extra thin super or surplus founda- tion under 3s. 6(7. per pound, cut into the exact size we require ; but from Messrs. Dadant's price list, which they have just forwarded to me, I find that the price for Dadant's thin foundation is Is. ('»/., per pound, about seven feet to the one pound, and Dadant's extra thin super foundation is 2s. per pound, about eleven feet to the one pound, and at this price any quantity and any size may be purchased. The best way to avoid composition foundation is to import direct, and if the Secretaries for County Associa- tions could collect a number of orders, the various sizes desired could be obtained, and the cost of transit would be very little in addition per one pound. Messrs. Dadant guarantee every inch pure beeswax, and the same as the samples they supply.—T. Bonner Chambers, Tref Eglwys, I 'aersws, Montgomeryshire. QUEEN-CAGE.
