Foul Ui'00«l. — The (Janadian Bee Jour- 

 nal for June contains this notice of Dr. 

 Howard's book on foul brood, which we 

 published a short time ago: 



We must compliment Dr. Howard, who is 

 also an able bee-keeper, upon his painstaking 

 investigations of this disease. In these he's 

 done a great service to bee-keepers, and we 

 can only hope that they will take a suffi- 

 cient interest in these valuaTale investiga- 

 tions so procure a copy. The investiga- 

 tions so carefully carried on have cleared 

 up questions in which science and practical 

 experience appeared to conflict. 



"We mail this book for 25 cents, or club it 

 with the Bee Journal for one year^both 

 for $1.15. 



Xlie Orange Jiicid Farmer. — A 



controlling interest in the capital stock of 

 the Orange Judd Farmer Company of Chi- 

 cago, 111., has been purchased by the 

 Orange Judd Company of New York City, 

 and by gentlemen connected with that 

 corporation. That concern has a world- 

 wide reputation as publishers of rural 

 books, and more especially as publishers of 

 the American Agricult ttrM — for over fifty 

 years the only illustrated monthly maga- 

 zine of agriculture and domestic affairs. 

 The Orange Judd Farmer will be maintained 

 at its present high standard. 



The new arrangement brings to the 

 Orange Judd Company the backing of the 

 ample means, successful experience and 

 superb organization long enjoyed by the 

 parent corporation at New York. This 

 brings under essentially one management 

 the two journals founded by the late 

 Orange Judd. His son, James Strong 

 Judd, who has so ably conducted the 

 Orange Judd Farmer since his father's death 

 — and to whom these new arrangements 

 are very satisfactory — will continue to be 

 actively associated in its business manage- 

 ment. 



Ciood lIoney-Seller.«> will likely be 

 needed soon, and the little 32-page pamph- 

 let, "Honey as Food and Medicine," has 

 for years proven itself valuable in making 

 repeated sales of honey. Its distribution 

 will create a demand for the honey first, and 

 then the bee-keeper can follow it up and 

 supply that demand. Send to us for a 

 sample copy, only 5 cents ; 10 copies, post- 

 paid, 35 cents ; 50 copies, SI. 25; or 100 copies 

 $3.00. Try 50 or 100 copies, and prove their 

 ability to aid you in disposing of your 

 honey at a good price.
