Afflicted with Carbuncie§, etc. 



— A. J. Duncan, Hartford, Iowa, on 

 Oct. 10, 1889, says : 



I am now, and have been for some 

 time, sorely afflicted with carbuncles, 

 first on my knee, that dried up after 

 due time, then one came on my left 

 arm ; it has been there about three 

 weeks, and is now getting some better. 

 I now have four on the top of my head; 

 they arc not large, but i|uite sure, and 

 make it quite interesting to me. I 

 think that perliaps I have bad blood, 

 from having so much poison injected 

 into mj' system from the "business 

 end" of tlie " blessed bees." I would 

 like to have some opinions from the 

 bee-fraternity on this (to me) impor- 

 tant subject. My crop of honey this 

 j'ear has been 75 pounds of extracted 

 honey per colony, spring count, or a 

 little over 2,400 pounds to 32 colonies. 

 I have sold my honey at 10 cents per 

 pound, and do not ask the corner 

 grocer how much he will give. 



Biiclttviieat aud Ooidcii-Rod. 



—John K. Rich, fato, N. Y., on Oct. 

 9, 1889, writes : 



I have just finished taking off my 

 fall crop of honey, and I find that one- 

 third of it is from golden-rod, and 

 very nice it is— rvery thick, and of good 

 flavor. The balance of the fall crop is 

 buckwheat. My bees worked on buck- 

 wheat first, and when the supers were 

 nearly full, I raised them up, and put 

 others under them ; the lower one I 

 found contained the golden -rod honey, 

 and but very few were mixed. The 

 hives of some prime swarms contained 

 24 pounds of buckwheat, and about 20 

 pounds of golden-rod hone}'. Last 

 season I got but little golden-rod 

 honej-, but two jears ago I had a good 

 crop. Buckwheat yields a fair crop 

 every year. 



Apiary on a Public Higliway. 



— A. Wortman, of Seatield, Ind.. asks 

 the following question : 



What distance should a bee-keeper 

 place his ajiiary from a pu))lic high- 

 waj', to make it safe and lawful, ac- 

 cording to the laws of Indiana ? 



[Will some Indiana apiarist please 

 reply to this question ? — Ed.]
