We were exceedingly sorry to hear of the death on September 4 of this gi'and old man of bee-keepingâthe Sage of Marengo, he has been aptly called the last few years. Dr. Miller was in his ninetieth yeai'. We hope to give a fuller obituary notice at an early date. The Dairy Show. This is almost tlie last show of the year, and as at most of the shows that have been held during the season, the honey was of first-class quality, the sections were exceptionally good, but the entries were small. The staging also left much to be desired. The space allotted was somewhat cramped, and the arrangement of the exhibits was very pooT. The two trophies were at one end of the table, and were crowded up at tlie base with the wax, Colonial honey and exhibits of an interesting nature. The two latter were staged in such a higgledy-piggledy fashion, it was almost impossible to â distinguish the exhibits one from the other. The jars and sec- tions on the staging were not spaced to the best advantage; some, notably the sections, were crowded close together, while a little further along there were spaces of from one to almost two feet botwceii the rows of jars. The appear- ance class. In our opinion this should be left to the discretion of the judge, and if an exhibit is, in his opinion, worthy of a pri;^e, it should be awarded, no matter how few the entries. Mr. J. Price, of Stafford, judged the exhibits, and made the folldwing awards: â r_' l-!b. Jars Tiight-coloured Extracted Honey (13 entries).â1, Mr. J. Pearman, DerbA-; 2, Mr. J.
