symptom of foul brood. This is what 

 I did : 



I first placed in each hive four moth- 

 balls to keep out the moths, as I 

 thought they were too weak to defend 

 themselves. Then I sprayed with a 

 nozzle injector (cost 75 cents) all the 

 combs and bees every seven days, with 

 the preparation given in Prof. Cook's 

 book. And now I don't see any signs 

 of disease. There were three causes 

 for its cure — either the napthaline 

 balls, the Cook preparation, or a heavy 

 flow of catnip honey. 



My bees are storing lots of honey. 

 Thanks to the information from the 

 American Bee Journal and text-book, 

 I am beating all the old fogies who are 

 too stingy to subscribe for a journal, 

 or who think they know more than the 

 whole aggregation of bee-keepers sum- 

 med up in a first-class journal.

No White Clover Honey. 



We have had no white clover honey 

 this year in this localitj', but had a 

 heavy honey-dew. We must depend 

 upon aster for our honey. It has never 

 failed yet, but it comes late.

are attempting to solve a gigantic 

 problem, but they are going about it in 

 the wrong way, and will never succeed. 

 Some people, in this country, seem to 

 think that they have as great a puzzle 

 on their hands in selecting a location 

 for a home. They will certainly go 

 about it in the wrong way unless they 

 inspect the beautiful farming country 

 on the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee 

 & St. Paul Railway, in Marinette 

 County, Wisconsin, where the crops 

 are of the best, work plenty, fine mar- 

 kets, excellent climate, pure, soft 

 water ; land sold cheap and on long 

 time. Why rent a farm when you can 

 buy one for less than you pay for rent ?
