Last week we mentioned having received a beautiful bee and red clover calendar from Mr. W. F. Marks, of New York. Since then we got the following letter from him concerning it, and offering a further suggestion : Dear Mr. York ;—Yours of the Sth inst. received. I hasten to say that I am not entitled to any credit for the design on the calendar in question. The design is used as a cover for the Red Clover Writing Pad, sold at many sta- tionery and book stores. I only took this means of calling your attention to thedesign, which I considered very unique and appropriate for bee-culture, and it seems to me it em- bodies a suggestion that we, as honey-producers and bee- lovers, should be prompt to grasp. For instance, how can we reach the great mass of the people any quicker and easier than by placing a school writing pad upon the market with an appropriate and at- tractive cover design, one page devoted to the natural his- tory and importance of the honey-bee, a denial of the comb- honey canard, and the importance of honey as food, It seems to me that such a pad placed upon the market would naturally go into thousands of schools, and tens of thousands of homes, and having an intrinsic value, it would be preserved, read, re-read, and remembered by the class we want to reach. We could have such a pad manufactured for us in large quantities, and could dispose of them at wholesale at a price sufBcient say to cover expense ; in fact, we could, under the circumstances, sell them at less than cost, but that would not be necessary, and certainly not a good business proposition. Perhaps this suggestion is visionary, but I trust you will
