It is proposed that a "honey pyramid," consisting of comb and extracted honey, be built, six feet square at the base, and 15 feet high. It is thought that 1,500 pounds will be required, and that this will exceed the famous Egyptian pyramids--in sweetness.
California bee-keepers are invited to help make the display, which, no doubt, they will do in a handsome manner.
The more rain and snow in November and December, the more honey there will be the following season; and if there is no rain or snow in the two months mentioned, there will be no honey.
The predictions are made upon the reports of the State Weather Bureaus, or the Weather Bureau reports in Washington, D. C. All who wish to test the reliability of such a basis for a honey-prediction, should get the weather reports, and begin to foretell for themselves, and thus not be required to await the movements of some so-called "honey-prophet."
We believe the above rule for prophesying is for linden, sourwood, and white clover honey.
Who knows but this may be the secret to which the Tennessee honey-prophet, Sam Wilson, has been so tenaciously hanging on? We shouldn't be a bit surprised if it should prove to be that very secret. If so, every bee-keeper can now be his own "honey-prophet"--whether he gets any honey or not.
There being no money to buy the honey for a suitable exhibit, Mr. Kretchmer, by issuing several circulars, and making several personal visits to prominent apiarists, enlisted the aid of the Iowa bee-keepers, and nobly did they respond by loaning the honey that was exhibited in the Iowa case. Believing that much credit is due those who thus generously loan honey for exhibition purposes, we give the names of those who aided thus, and also what they contributed:
E. J. Cronkleton, of Dunlap--100 pounds of nice comb honey.
F. A. Beals, of Salix--480 pounds of extracted basswood honey, and 544 pounds of comb honey.
R. B. Arnold, of Foster--20 pounds of white clover comb honey.
T. C. DeClercq, of DeSoto--60 pounds of extracted clover honey, 60 pounds of extracted basswood honey, and 105 pounds of comb honey.
