--We shall continue to issue our Journal from the Salem Press office, but all communications should be addressed to Wenham, Mass., and when sending money do not forget to make all postal notes or money orders payable on Salem, Mass., post office.
--We have just received a circular and price list from Mr. B----, who is now in Europe dealing in foreign queens and bees. The character of the language and criticisms contained therein will not warrant us in giving it a favorable notice. Manly criticism or counsel and advice, or one’s opinion expressed in kindly language, always demands respect; but since Mr. B---- has engaged in the sale of the eastern bees and queens he has introduced some finely drawn lines of distinction between the names given to the different races of bees from the Holy Land.
Until lately we had no trouble in understanding what was meant by the terms Holy Land bees, Syrian bees or Palestine bees, and in order that we may be set at rights again will some one _capable of judging_ kindly tell us what countries are included within the boundaries of the Holy Land (not Holy Land proper.)
Mr. B---- is not even contented to establish names of his own but makes it a point to abuse all those who differ from him.
We trust that he may yet learn to allow others the same freedom in expressing their opinions that he wishes himself and then abstain from abusing them for so doing.
--We have just received from F. D. Wellcome of Poland, Maine, the finest lot of red raspberry plants that we ever saw, they certainly do him credit.
--As we are now publishing 5,000 copies per month of our Journal, advertisers will do well to give it a trial.
--Use every effort to work up a home demand for your honey this season as in most cases it will pay much better than sending it to city markets.
--Read all our club offers for this month carefully and if you should receive more than one copy of our Journal kindly hand the other to your neighbor. It may do him some good and it will help us.
Better chances were never offered to secure first-class goods cheap than will be found in our club list.
--Mr. J. C. Clark submits his communication to us for consideration, and we would state that while the extractor in the hands of an inexperienced apiarist or by injudicious use will doubtless prove a great injury, yet we consider it one of the most valuable implements in a well conducted apiary.
