Just read the following sen- tence, which we take from one of our agricultural exchanges: This adulteration business is a great evil, and robbery of the people, and it is high time something was done to regu- late it. It's a "great evil and robbery of the people " is it ? Then regulate it! Whew ! Regulate robbery ! One would think that some mummy had arisen especially to write that sentence. No, sir ! bee-keepers don't believe in regulating the robbery—adulteration ! Not much ! They have too good sense to have any share in such a suggestion. What they want is to prohibit the rob- bery by putting the robber where he cannot steal from the people. This country has tried " regulation " of some other " great evils "—evils greater than that of adulteration—and the more we have tried to " regulate," the stronger and more powerful and defiant have the evils grown. Chicago would have had a fine time trying to "regulate" her anarchists a few years ago ! But she knew a thing or two about such evils, and just hung some of them, and the balance "regu- lated" themselves accordingly, without any further notice. In this enlightened day of our civilization, if any one has nothing better than "regulation" of an evil to offer, he would better not open his mouth, unless he wishes to be classed with the party who " said in his heart there is no ; A Correction.—In Mr. Fitz Hart's letter on page 733, reatl, " he has dis- covered that there is no foul brood virus in pure honey whilst in comb-cells," in- stead of the way it was printed, and you will have it the way Mr. Fitz Hart in- tended to write CONDUCTED BY Greenville, Texas. Criminality of Food Adulteration.
