July 



some box or closet which is moth- 

 proof, and they will keep forever, or 

 as long as the closet or box keeps, 

 providing no female moth is ever al- 

 lowed to deposit eggs on them. 



To fumigate, place in a tight room, 

 or in hives which will fit closely on 

 each other, without bottoms, when we 

 burn sulphur to the amount of a 

 pound ts every 400 cubic feet con- 

 tained in the hives or room. 



In sulphuring combs there is little 

 fear of using too much tulphur; for 

 should a deposit of sulphur occur on 

 the combs, thereby giving them a 

 greenish tinge, it will not harm as it 

 does on comb honey. 



In sulphuring honey, too much care 

 cannot be taken in guarding against 

 the possibility of fire; for a room filled 

 with the fumes of burning sulphur, is 

 a poor place to extinguish what may 

 prove to be a conflagration, unless ex- 

 tinguished in time. For this reason, 

 an iron kettle, partly filled with ashes, 

 with live coals on the ashes, with the 

 combs so hung that none of them can 

 melt and fall in the fire in the kettle, 

 is the best thing to use to pour the 

 sulphur on. 



If you wish the combustion of the 

 sulphur to be complete, too mnch 

 must not be poured on too small a 

 surface of coals, otherwise a part of 

 the sulphur will not burn as it should.

EDITORIAL, 



We are in receipt of a sample wrap- 

 per for 1 lb. section honey from H. 

 R. Wright, the Albany commission 

 man. It is simply a piece of heavy 

 paper printed "Choice Comb Honey" 

 on one side and is designed to be 

 tacked around the section, giving the 

 package a neat appearance and mak- 

 ing; it more salable. 



Bicycles are becoming almost an 

 article of necessity now-a-days , and 

 since the general reduction in prices 

 are being more generally used. For 

 a ladies wheel we think the Lovell 

 Diamond is all that can be desired. 

 One of them is in use b} r one of our 

 clerks constantlj" and gives the best 

 of satisfaction.
