Wc have received a copy of the Con- stitution and By-Laws of the Newaygo County Farmers and Bee-Keepers' Associa- tion, adopted Feb. 10, 1888. ?We RejsTct to learn that Mr. G. H. Knickerbocker, Secretary of the New York State Society, has been aflHicted of late with inflammation of the eyes, making it difficult to conduct his correspondence. He is now much better, and we hope will soon be fully recovered. Mr. Xhos. Will. Cowaii, editor of the British Bee Journal, was elected an honorary member of the Ontario Bee-Keep- ers' Society, at its last meeting. We regret to learn that friend Cowan has been very unwell during February and March, and has been confined to his winter home in Lausanne, Switzerland. We hope he will soon regain his usual health and strength. Fraotional Ciu-rency is again in demand for sending small sums through the mails. Postal notes are no more safe than currency, and can only be obtained at Money Order offices. Such are very incon- venient to obtain in the country, and silver coins are often lost in the mails. We are glad to note that the bill for the issuance of silver certificates of 10, , and S.'i cent denominations passed the House on March 19, by 177 yeas to fi7 nays. It will doubt- less pass the Senate, and soon become a law! Snper»e«ling- tlie <tueeii.—Ira N. Lj man, St. Peter, Nebr., asks for informa- tion as follows : What is the cause of the queen coming out of the hive on or about March 23 ? I have 3 colonies of bees. I bought a very weak colony early last spring, and one old colony and one swarm in July. The old colony had not swarmed. It stored about 100 pounds of surplus honey
