And they were very much enjoyed by the day school scholars. One lad is "after" bees, and the schoolmaster is "bitten," and intends to start keeping some bees next season • so if we are spared, and all is well, we hope to continue these lessons in a practical manner. The evening meetings arranged for adults were not very well attended, as, being a rural district, most of the menfolk were busy in the hayfields, and the district has also been scourged with the "Isle of Wight " disease, a good attendance was not to be expected.
