THE BlE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



examine his bees, and when he does he does it just as he read it 

 was done, iisins:^ all the reasoning power he possesses in the matter. 

 He perhaps finds some colony rearing no young and not normal in 

 strength, and united it with a weaker colony per the theory he has 

 mastered. Some colony maybe is short of stores which he sup- 

 plies from some extra heavy colony after the same manner. 



At this time there are some warm days and during which this 

 little but very necessary apiary work must be done, which is our 

 first round. 



A CURE FOR EUROPEAN 

 FOUL BROOD. 



To the bee-keeper of the country. I 

 have made some discoveries with re- 

 gards to European Foul Brood — how it 

 can and how it cannot spread. I caii 

 cure a case in a few minutes. I can 

 completely rid an apiary of this malady 

 for about the same amount of trouble 

 and expense that it would take to ex- 

 tract the honey from it once. I neither 

 destroy nor cage queens, I destroy no 

 coml)s, in fact in every way it is eco- 

 nomical, practical, easily understood ami 

 very simple, but positive in its effect. 



A^ow, I claim that if all bee-keepers 

 were in possession of these facts the 

 European Foul Brood could practically 

 be stamped out in one year. This, of 

 course, would be of great value to the 

 country, but what can I realize from ii 

 beyond being able to keep my own 

 apiary clean, whether my neighbors do 

 or not. But I think that I should stand 

 in some position as a person that havl 

 invented some labor saving machine, a 

 part of the benefit to the public ouglu 

 to revert to the inventor. 



I am open to any proposition for 

 making this remedy public that will 

 properly remunerate me.

 Friend Tyrrell : — 



We are having one of the coolest 

 Vi'inters so far that we have had for 

 years. The rains are still holding off. 

 In the winter of 188;{ and 18«4 our first 

 good rain came on the 27th of Janu- 

 ary, ISS-t, and had a flood in February 

 and had about 40 inches of rain before 

 the season was over. The spring was 



late and the usual June sage flow lasted 

 away in July. We are having a light 

 frost every night. 



Success to you, 

 M. H. Mendleson.

 Dear Sir: 



We wish to thank you for your ef- 

 forts in putting the producer and buyer 

 closer together, and think this is one 

 of the best steps the Association has 

 taken. We just sold a car of honey to 

 a firm through your efforts at a 

 half cent per pound more than we 

 could have gotten here in the local 

 markets. 



We still have another car of alfalfa 

 and sweet clover honey to sell, and we 

 would be pleased to have you find us 

 a buyer. 



Thanking you in advance for this 

 favor, w€ remain. 



Yours trulv. 



He: BIT 



We are having one of the coolest 

 winters so far that we have had f^v 

 vears. — M. H. Mendleson.
