On the first page and also on this page is shown the display they made at the last Fair. All the Lincoln Monu- ment lacks is the statuary. It was made by the son. " Percy," and must have involved considerable work. Both the comb honey dis- play and the monument received the 1st premium, or blue ribbons, as, apparently, they well deserved. The Illinois State Fair has had fine displays in its apiary department for several years. While the number of exhibitors has not been large, the displays have been both large and good. In fact, this department is one of the most attractive of the whole Fair, and Jas. A. Stone tt Son have contributed no little to this result. Mr. J. B. DoDDS, the bee-inspector for Jef- ferson Co., Colo., has been in Chicago for about two weeks. He came with a ear-load of No. 1 alfalfa comb honey, which he was holding at ? per case. A dealer here pur- chased 100 cases of it, and found that it weighed all the way from 17}4 pounds to 2i'.2 pounds, net, of honey per case. So the light- est eases cost about 1? cents per pound, while the honey in the heaviest cases cost about 12 cents. While it may have been all right to sell or buy the 100 eases, as a lot, by the case, any one may easily see the injustice it would be to the consumer were a case of the lightest sold to him at the same price as a case of the heaviest. As the 100 cases averaged practically an even 20 pounds net per case, there was no injustice done the buyer or seller of this particular lot. A GREATMAP.—CalvinL. Walton,Ph.
