Putnam, 111., Aug. 2. A. L. Kilduw. Demonstration at Minnesota Fair Fifteen tons of honey from the apiary of Emil Hoflfman, of Janesville, Minn., owner of 700 colonies and one of the largest apiary establishments in the northwest, are to be used in a novel extracting demonstation at the Min- nesota State Fair Sept. 6 to 11, as a re- sult of arrangements just perfected by P. J. Doll, of Minneapolis, superin- tendent of the apiary department. The demonstration will be conducted in the Apiary Building during the entire week of the fair. Its purpose will be to show the public how honey is han- dled on its way from the hive to the table, and give the 50,000 bee fanciers of the northwest an opportunity to study latest methods. Students from the Minnesota Agricultural College, specializing in bee culture, will do the work. Each day the students will be under the supervision of a different bee specialist of established reputation. The exhibit of honey at the fair this year will be twice as large as any pre- ceding one. All exhibit space has been taken, and applications for space have been turned down for nearly two months. This extraordinary interest is due not only to the rapid growth of the bee industry in the northwest, but to the large crop of honey that is being harvested.
