covers removed, thus giving a free 

 circulation of air directly through the 

 hives. Then raise the temperature to 

 6(F or G5°, and continue it for several 

 hours. This will give temporary re- 

 lief, and may be repeated at intervals 

 of 2 or 3 days." 



Dr. G. L. Tinker says : " I never 

 saw a case of foul brood, but I should 

 judge it to be that from the descrip- 

 tion given. I believe that Mr, Frank 

 Cheshire's method of treating it with 

 phenol will be found superior to all 

 others. He has pointed out the cause 

 of failure where failure has occurred, 

 and that seems to be the infection of 

 the queen. The remedy is manifest; 

 give the colony a healthy queen, and 

 go on with the treatment. There is 

 every reason to believe that where 

 phenol is properly used, all infection 

 of other colonies will cease." 



Eemedy for Destroying Plant-Lice. 



Query, No. 31.— What can I put on my 



plum-trees to destroy a small, green louse 

 that comes when the tree is in full bloom and 

 as the leaves start to grow ? It ffets on the 

 under side of the leaves and the leaves curl 

 up, and the bloom turns yellow and tails off. 

 I can do nothing for them. I would like 

 some remedy that will not injure my bees 

 while working on the bloom.— K. P. W. 



Prof. A.J. Cook answers as follows : 

 "After many experiments, I find 

 no application that serves so effect- 

 ively to destroy plant-lice as the kero- 

 sene and soap mixture. This is made 

 as follows : A quart of soft soap (hard 

 soap win do) is dissolved in a gallon 

 of water, and all heated to the boiling 

 point ; while yet hot a pint of kero- 

 sene is thoroughly stirred in. This is 

 sprayed on the affected trees, and 

 destroys the lice thoroughly. If it is 

 feared that it will prevent the bees' 

 working, its use may be deferred until 

 the blossoms fall."
