A NOVEL DEFENSE. 



"r'Uccess" for Au.tJ:ust contains a 

 liraphic account of how a hoy in Nova 

 Scotia, in early days, assisted by his 

 molhei-, some .unns, and an apiary, 

 drove away a murdering l)and of In- 

 dians, lie saw the Indians in the (lis 

 tance in time to slip out. and bring 

 several boo hives near the house, sot- 

 tinj; them in a circle about the house, 

 about 2") feet distant, and then cutting 

 up clothes lines and ropes, tied them 

 to the hives, briuiiing- the free ends into 

 the house. The reader can imagine the 

 rest— if he can't, lot him got a oopy of 

 the magiiziuo and road it. It is worth 

 while. 



black brood and foul brood one and 

 the same thing, according to 

 f:xperimknts made at Cor- 

 nell UNIVER.SITY. 



Veraiuis A. Moore and G. P'ranklin 

 White, of the New York State Veter- 

 inary ('olleg(>. at Cornell University, 

 have been making some experiments 

 with specimens of black, pickled and 

 foul brood, and their decision is that 

 black and foul brood are practically 

 the same. I believe that Mr. McKvoy, 

 of Canada, expresses a similar belief, 

 while Dr. Howard, of Texas, from a 

 large number of microscopical exam- 

 inations, decided that black brood is 



caused by a different microbe tlian in 

 tlu> one causing foul brood. Ernest 

 Hoot says that the bl.ack brood that ho 

 has seen, diff(>rs in several important 

 respects from fonl brood. One com- 

 fort regarding the matter is that the 

 treatment is the same, regardless of 

 whether the diseases are tlie same.

PRINTING PRESS FOR SALE. 



Hallack i^c Hartshorn, the tirm of 

 job printers who rent my printing ma- 

 teiial and print the Review, wish to 

 sell their cylinder press and buy one 

 large enough to print Ki pages of the 

 Heview at one time. Their press is 

 a 22x28 Hoe, drum, and probably cost 

 .fSOO when new. It was rebuilt last 

 1 )ecember by P.arnhart Bros. «& Spin- 

 uler, and cost $4r)() spot cash. It la 

 pi-actically as good as new, and in per- 

 fect order, but would be sold for some 

 less than they paid for it. If any sub- 

 scriber of the Review needs such a 

 press, or knows of any one who does, 

 will he please write to Hallack & 

 Hartshorn, T'lint, Mich. 



1 must beg pardon for putting an 

 advertisement in the reading columns, 

 but the idea of making this change 

 c.ame about suddeidy, and after the 

 advertising pages for this issue were 

 printed. 



WAKE UP TO YOUR OPPORTUNITIES. 



A man with a single apiary some- 

 times has to h;ivo his eyes opened 

 l)retty forcibly to the opportunities 

 lying about him, before he realizes and 

 improves them. A young man In 

 Northern Michigan had managed a 

 sir.gle apiary for several years, Avith 

 little heed to the grand localities ly- 

 ing all about him. Finally some one 

 located an ai)iary three miles from 

 him and harvested 8,000 pounds of 

 comb honey the first season— 8,000
