NEWMAN, EDITOB and PKOPHIETOn, The Hive and Frame Controversy. The Bee Journal for July 25, con- tained an article by Dr. E. B. Soutli- w'ick, setting forth the advantages of square frame hives, and one from Mr. Deraaree, giving tlie arguments in favor of rectangular frames. It was not the intention of the edi- tor of the Bee Jouunal to take any part in the aryument, and had he not been singled out for a personal thrust by Dr. Southwick, no word of comment would have been made.

The above was intended to pacify, but it evidently had the opposite ef- fect ; at least we should think so, by the following from Dr. Southwick: Mr. Editor :—On page 369, of the Bee Journal, I notice an error that puts me in a rather odd position, in the last column near the bottom.
