BEEKEEPERS' ASSOCIATION.

At the quarterly meeting of the Auckland Provincial Beekeepers' Association, held at the apiary of Mr Collins, Tuakau, on Satur day, 27th ult., the chair was occupied by Mr J. Brown, Vice-President.. The Secre tary statod that Mr H. Hayr, the Society's Auckland agent, reported that tho leading grocers refused to pay. tho prico fixed by him for the honey, considering the margin of profit to be too small. He recommended the disposal of the honey by hawkers, which would bring the article under the notice of every household. The meeting cordially approved of the sug gestion, and the hope was expressed thai all members of the Association would support the Committee by consigning their surplus honey to Mr Hayr, or of soiling it to grocers and other storekeepers by adhering to the price fixed. Messrs Mays and Brown de livered interesting addresses on the subject of planting for honey, advising farmers es pecially to grow those crops and plant those shelter trees which would prove a double source of profit by yielding honey. Dr. Dalziel exhibited an improved surplus case which he is using this season, and which jnet jvjth the thorough approval of tho meeting as being worthy of attention of beekeepers who devote their stocks to the raising of comb-honey. A proposal to hold meetings at Bombay and Waiuku was talked over, but no resolution was come to beyond instructing tho Secretary to make inquiries. The meeting closed with a substantial tea, after which the mem bers visited Mr Collins's apiary and orchard, being regaled in the latter with peaches, cherries, plums, strawberries, gooseberries, currants, and apples.

When just off the end the western pier, the Bteamer caught on the bow by the tide suddenly e'awed to the eastward.

NEW ZEALAND PATENTS.

It has been frequently remarked that cheap patent laws in this colony would to a largo development of "New Zea notions." We are glad to notice that fair sex have now begun to develop ai ventive genius, as in tho list of patent cently applied for is one from Eliza Barton, of Dunedin, for a compound si bedstead. This, we presume, means the bedstead can be altered from one can accommodate single blessedness to for matrimonial requirements. The < day an Auckland lady—in order not 1 behind her Dunedin sister—intervi Mr Greenshields with the object of ta out a patent for a new sort of dresa prover or " wobbler," but after mature sideration he arrived at the conclusion the whole affair was, like tho fair inve: herself, so fearfully and wonderfully i as to be altogether beyond his i prehension. A Maori has also applied patent for a '' Nonpareil Toothache Cv Bravo, Maoris! Mr Joske, of £ Fiji, before leaving for America, applied for a New Zealand patent fo tracting the principles of a certain S Sea Islands' plant for the purpos mixing with spirits_ or other liquors, to be a grand thing for gout, &c., He has also applied for patents in al Australian- colonies, and is now on hii to take out patents for America, Eng etc. Mr Joske's specification is the sh( we have ever seen for any application. Auckland inventor has just applied patent dial for watches and clocks. ( inner or an outer circle, below or abov figure 1, is 13, then 14, 15, etc., up o'clock.
