Through t'.ie t (1-rU of tcs association a hill was pasM-d liv our last lerfishttuie b'iving a little- p oteetiouto Bcieiitiiie nnl intclligcuc bee.kecpars against fatal and couluKeons disease among bees called foul-brood, which has spread broad t-ist thronch the ccuutry by uje.iiis cf peopl? v.ko sec ekiiicd bee-keepers bee-keepers doiiiL' -v; - J ai tiiu business, and think they will raise what honey they want at veiy lit; to, cr no expense oi trouble, not thinking that study and skill give, success. When their tees die : ft' with fori! brood they can't lei' what ails them, for their is generally plenty of henty in the hive. 'Hit. owners wiil take the best of the honey leaving the balance for other bees to take, aud save from waste which they r.ro sure to do, and assure to earn home tho disease, and thus destroy in some instances hundreds and even thousands of dollars worth of properly through the negieet of the owner. AH such diseased hive,- should be destroyed without delay as provided by law. On the 10th day of April at 2 o'clock p. m, there wiil be a convention of the bee-keepers cf L'tih, at Salt Lake city, in the brick and stone masons hall, over the Western Union telegraph office on Main street. We sincerely hope that every man and yjoiLan who expect j to raise honey for profit in Utah will be-there, be-there, and not ouiv be there but become be-come a member cf said association, That it may beconje a strong body and able to move Iegis'-atiou in tho 'fntur; for the advancement of so great and growing an Industry, as raising honey of a quality that he.s attracted marked attention in eastern and northern markets. It is import-.;. e!!fit people j"ii-ing this association should do so with'ioe' .determination to become intelligent beekeepers. . The object of its organization is to stimulate seieatific beo culture aud en courage special intercourse on the best methods of controlling aud handling bees aud honey for profit and pleasure, Through associations is the modern method.of conducting crusades against errors and wrongs as well as to arousr and educate public opinion upon spiritual spirit-ual topics, financial advancement, mechanical or scientific improvements. Meet together and learn of one another, a little mental friction brightens our ideas. It is by association that humanity human-ity becomes unselfish. The most odious animosity and selfishness is that exemplified exem-plified in the life of the recluse and miser. This drift towards association is also characterized by the decline of the value placed on any one man's work or thought, We hope that inspectors of bees who operated in that calling last year will meet with us on the 10th of the coming month, and from day to day to the enS of the convention and bring with them all thef statistics they have gathoreo through their inspections. It is much desired that every couuty or neighborhood neighbor-hood where there i3 a number of eolon-ies. eolon-ies. or swarms of bees that owners wiil immediately petition the county, court if 'they have not previously petitioned to appoint some intelligent bee keepei they may name in petition, an inspector of bees according to law. That inspector inspec-tor -should be dilligent in the perfor manee cf his duty by destroying the dread disease. Each inspector will dt a public service by learning and record ing how much extracted and how much comb honey was raised by the severe! bee keepers. A strict aecord should bt kept of the number of colonies owned b each pordon, how many have foul brood -number cured, or treated, as the law words it and the number destroyed.
