in ; slip the cover just far enough from one 

 corner to pour a teaspoonful of bisulphide of 

 carbon. Close the cover, and that colony is 

 '■ cured " to a certainty. But you must take 

 the contents of the hive and burn or bury, 

 and you must do this when no bees are flying. 

 If you have spilled no honey about, the hive 

 is safe to use again. 



It is not so much trouble to cure a colony 

 of foul brood, but to keep from spreading the 

 disease is what you must look out for. If 

 you have a lot of weakened colonies with this 

 disease, never undertake to move the hives 

 close together to streughlen soyou can cure 

 them. Just as surely you wiil spread the dis- 

 ease. It is better to treat all diseased colonies 

 at nearly the same time as possible. 



Now, Mr. Garrett, I have given you a plan 

 by which you can cure your bees of foul 

 brood, but you must do your work carefully, 

 aad during a How of honey, and ray advice to 

 you is to let the other fellow treat said dis- 

 ease with medicine. I have found that bees 

 do not need much medicine in Texas. 



Now if you get what you wantoutof this, I 

 will try again, if you ask. LoN Rossos.

Forty Years Among the Bees, by Dr. 



C. C. Miller.— This book conlains 328 pages, 

 is pound In handsome cloth, with gold letters 

 and design ; it is printed on best book-paper, 

 and illustrated with 112 beautiful original 

 half-tone pictures, taken by Ur. Miller him- 

 self. It is unique in this regard. The first 

 few pages are devoted to an interesting bio- 

 graphical sketch of Dr. Miller, telling how he 

 happened to get into bee-keeping. Seventeen 

 years ago he wrote a small book, called " A 

 Year Among the Bees," but that little work 

 has been out of priat for a number of years. 

 While some of the matter used in the former 

 book is found in the new one, it all reads like 

 a good new story of successful bee-keeping 

 by one of the masters, and shows in minutest 

 detail just how Dr. Miller does things with 

 bees. Frice, SI. 00.
