We wish to thank Mr. Dadant for writing as he has. He is always fair-minded, and seeks only to advance the best interests of the National Association and its members. Mr. John Nydeggep's Apiary, in Vermillion Co., 111., is shown on the first page this week. When sending the pictures (of his apiary and Mr. Blatt's bee-house), he wrote : I began in 1870 to keep bees in Berne, Switzerland.
