G1.EANINGS IN BEE (CULTURE. 



June 



should remember that foul brood does not in any 

 manner affect the bees, but it is wholly a disease of 

 the hriiod. Wheii brood-rearin.u- crapes, of course 

 there is nothing for the malad.\' to work on. For 

 the same reason, removing the queen removes the 

 disease as soon as the brood is all hatched; and it 

 can not commence ag-ain until more brood is start- 

 ed. The bees referred to above probably died from 

 causes usually asci-ibed to wintering. 



"OUR LITTI.E NEIGHBORS. " 



We are pleased to inform our i-eaders that the 

 Kev. Jotin Dooly, 395 Broome St., New York, has 

 been giving- a lecture, entitled as above. Friend D. 

 has sent us an admission ticket, and on the back of 

 it we find it reads as follows: 



Our Litti.k Neighbors. 



Who they are; the Imvises they live hi; the way they live; 

 what they gossip about; their love; their hatred; their riches 

 —how they gain and lose them. 



N. B.— Some of " otir little neitrhbors " are invited to be pres- 

 ent. If they do not come, thkir ears will burn; if they 

 come, tliey may make our ears burn. 



Friend D. is an evangelist. He is and has been 

 holding services nearly every day in the week, in 

 the great metropolis of America, as above stated. 

 He takes up the subject of bee-keeping simply as a 

 recreation from his arduous duties. We sincerely 

 hope that he may tind in bees sufHcient rest to help 

 him in his glorious work. 



".TRADE SECRETS." 



The above is the title of a new work .just out, 

 written by John Phin, of the Industrial Publica- 

 tion Co., 15 Dey St., New York. It contains a large 

 amount of valuable information that can not be 

 readily found elsewhei-e. It gives not only formu- 

 la? for manufactui-ing an immense variety of arti- 

 cles, but important and trustworthy hints. In the 

 introduction there is information, full of interest- 

 ing incidents, explaining the whys and Avherefores. 

 The book is arranged in the convenient form of an 

 encyclopedia, and each recipe can be found in its 

 alphabetical place. We will take a case in point. 

 Under the head of "' Microscopes " the author gives 

 a very simple plan for making a simple lens, and 

 one, too, that has considerable power. On page 67 

 the author says, in speaking of one of the little 

 microscopes which he made, " We have one now 

 before us fjy which we can easily see corpuscles, or 

 glolniles, as the.v are sometimes called, of human 

 blood, and we can readily- see the ditterence be- 

 tween the blood of a man and that of a frog. We 

 can also see clearl.y the construction of the sting of 

 a bee and the eye of a fly." John Phin is well 

 known as a skilled microscopist, and we feel sure 

 that, when he makes the foregoing statements, he 

 knows what he is talking about. These micro- 

 scopes can be made for a very small amount of 

 money, and we have ho doubt that an enthusiast 

 on the suh.iect of microscopes could, with a small 

 nutla.y, make .just such a micioscope as there de- 

 scribed, [fnder the head of •Honey" we tind va- 

 rious recipes for making the artificial product. 

 The author very wiselj' says, along with the reci- 

 pes he gives, that pure honey can now be produced 

 so cheaply that it is almost impracticable to adul- 

 terate it to any large e.vtent. We have no doubt 

 that the work will be found valuable to many of 

 our tradesmen, and to others who would like to 

 know how some things ai'e made. The price of the 

 book is 60 cts., postpaid, and can be obtained of 

 the publishers as above. 



6-INCH PKI.H.AM MlLli PO H S.4LE. 



We have on hand a new 6-iiicli Felham mill that 

 we took in exchange for one of our milis. 1 believe 

 it does not have the latest improved frame, but it 

 is in flrst-class condition, and does good work— that 

 is, for a Pelham mill. We will sell it for $8.00, al- 

 though the retail price of one of that size is $9.00. 

 If necessary, we can send you a small sample of its 

 work by mail. 



A 15-INCn POWER DRII.O FOR SALE. 



The work in our machine-shop has increased to 

 such an extent that we have been obliged to pur- 

 chase some new and expensive pieces of machin- 

 ery. Among them is a new power-drill. We now 

 offer for sale our old power drill which we have 

 used for several years. It has a 15-inch swing, an 

 automatic or hand feed, and may be run by power 

 or by hand. It is just the thing for an ordinary 

 blacksmith shop. It cost originally f75.00; but as 

 the price of iron-working machinery has come down 

 considerably within a year or two past, we will offer 

 this drill at the low price of $15.00, boxed on the cars 

 at Medina. Any of you who would have use for 

 such a drill will find it is a rare opportunity. Let us 

 hear from you at once.
