The Record, being a monthly publication, cannot be registered, and the registration of the Journal was dropped several years ago, as we found that under the restric- tion imposed it was a disadvantage. The postage rate for printed papers 'has not been altered, and under that rate we are still able to post our papers for ^d. We fully appreciate the kindness of several subscribers who have sent stamps for the extra postage they thought would be due, but it would have been better to wait until a notice appeared in the papers, as the cost of posting to us and the return of the stamps will be a total of 4d. on each amount. A Dorset Yarn. A week of splendid weather. Bees have done wonders in East Dorset, and it is not alone at the Violet Farm. At "VVim- borne market a farmer brought forty- eight sections; he said all were put on the stocks on August 2. These were sold under the hammer at 2s. 4d. each. One dairy representative bought all that were there. All this was from the fringe of heather which runs from Ringswood to Wareham. This particular lot came from Eloxworth, with its seven miles of heath and its lonely road, of which Thomas Hardy, the novelist, has written so de- lightfully. It shows that with co-opera- tion bee-keepers on the rich farmlands of Dorset coul-d get another harvest did they bring their stocks to these miles of heath, where nectar in many hundredweights is wasted because there are no little har- vesters to sip it from these thousands of tiny bells massed so closely together on every yard of moorland. It is only those who are living near that have any idea , of the millions of bees that work the com- mon ling heather in August
