Regarding the number of bee-keepers represented in the New York exhibit, Mr. H.'s article is its own reply, and leaves my statement correct. In regard to the purchasing of honey by the State for exhibition, I see nothing dishonorable in bee-keepers loaning honey for a State exhibit, but, on the contrary, consider it quite commenda- ble. Certainly no bee-keeper is entitled to any more credit for selling his honey to the State than he is when selling to any other party, and Ohio and other State bee-keepers are not "out of the use of their property for a year," as might be inferred from Mr. H.'s article , the New York bee-keepers would have been if they had loaned their honey to the State. I most frankly admit that when I said '? my recollection is that neither Ontario nor Ohio has a section of honey on exhi- bition that is not better and more per- fectly filled at the sides than is the best section in the New York exhibit," my " recollection " was 240 miles away from the exhibits, and was at fault, as the New York exhibit does contain a few better filled sections than are a few in the Ohio exhibit; but when Mr. H. says, " We would have no difficulty in select- ing from our exhibit as many, or more, perfectly filled sections as may be found in those exhibits " (referring to Ontario and Ohio), he is certainly mistaken, as could be easily seen by any one. The wood on the sides of the cases in the New York exhibit, being of the same width as those in other State ex- hibits, covers imperfections in the same way, and really more of them, for there are more to cover. In regard to the "1,000 cases contain- ing comb honey " which New York has on exhibition, and Mr. H. claims " would contain something over 12,000 pounds," I will say I have counted the cases and find 424 showing two sections each ; 280 showing thr
