The conililion must he exceedingly favor-

 to tlcBlroy a colony of hecs. 'i■hl^ bci-s can 

 protect their ■■oloiiy a(,'aiiist l.iicdTia to a 

 greater extent than is neiicrall> -u|.i".^,il. No 

 one has round foul brood in li'r> luniii'il in 

 chimneys or pirrets, or, in I'acM, in any home 

 not purposely niado forthcni. If wo (•(Mitiniii^ 

 to favor the growth of bacteria in the hive so 

 as to Kivo tlie bacteria an advantage over the 

 bees in the "struftrle of life," and persist in 

 cultivatiud the bacteria, and not the bees, we 

 will, most assuredly, never succeed with dis- 

 infectauts and sierinicides in (jettinij; rid of 

 the disease caused by the favored bacteria.— 

 A. W. Smyth, in the Irish Bee Journal. 



The forepoing interesting article will, no 

 doubt, help to clear up matters for many 

 readers. The implied statement, however, 

 that foul brood is never found except in man- 

 made hives, will hardly be accepted by many 

 who thinlv that one great diflicuity in the way 

 of getting rid 'of foul brood lies in the fact 

 that it is impossible to control it in wild colo- 

 nies in trees.

TUB PTKAYING SEASON.-Time moveB so rap- 

 idly thiit trees and vines will be in blossom and set- 

 ting their fruit Jiguin Hlmost before we are aware of 

 it. This means that thesprayinjr season will be upon 

 us shortly and that now is the best time to decide 

 what me<ins shall be employed to save the berries, 

 fruit, etc., the cominii season. Nobody stops to con- 

 sider the advisability of sprayinjr in these times. It 

 is not only now thoupht lo bealvisable but Mbso- 

 lutely necessary to successful fruit-culture. This, 

 then, leaves the small fruit-yrower, orchardist and 

 others merely to the selection ol the pariicular 

 Bpraying outot which he shall use. In this connec- 

 tion we wish to dir-'Ct the attention of our readers 

 ti.1 the line of sprayine Kt.iods manufactured and ret-'- 

 ularly advertised in These columns by the Demin;:: 

 Co.. of "^aleiu, Ot)ii>. In their bucket, knapsack, bar- 

 rel and power sprayers they cover completely the 

 entire line, and the Demin^ goods leave nothinp to 

 be desired as to quality, general utility, convenience 

 and thornut,'li and effective work. Their "Simplex." 

 "Century" and "Peerless" barrel sprayers with spe- 

 cial mechanical agitators and all brass working 

 parts, are ideal eeneral-purpose Dutflts. The Dem- 

 ing nozzles and spraying fixtures are of equal su- 

 periority. Writ** tli^m for their illustrated catalog

 age stamps for a copy of their valuable and com- 

 prehensive little book. " Spraying for a Protlt."

TIIK 8URK liAT<'ll INCUBATOU. - While hot- 

 water incubators arr very generally admitted to be 

 superior to the liot-air kind, a number of manu- 

 facturers, with a desire to cuter to every opinion 

 and catch their triule either "coining or going." con- 

 linue to make both kinds Usually they claim that 

 in the hi)t-water make they have something supe- 

 rior to anything on the market, and in the same 

 breath weakly insift that their lot air machines 

 are " Just as gooii. ' There is no such eqiiivocatitm 

 about our advertising patron, the Sure Hatch Incu- 

 bator Co.,ot Clay Center, Neb. They direct their 

 energies toward making the best incubator possible 

 arul always on the hot-water principle. Their 

 straightforward course seems to have brought most 

 gratilying results. Theirgood name has spread to 

 all pails of the lotintry. Wherever one of their in- 

 cubators or tirood-Ts is introduced and put to the 

 teat, multiplied sales follow in a reasonable time. 

 It is the proud boast of the Company that their 

 most effective advertising has always been the work 

 of their machines. The latest catalog of the Sure 

 Hatf;h Incubator Co. i-* a valuable work on poultry- 

 raising. Any of our readers interested should write 

 for it. whether they e()ntemplate buying an incuba- 

 tor or not. Look up their advertisement elsewhere 

 in ovir columns and direct to Clay Center, Neb.,

 S@6c. Beeswax, 2<)@Xc. M. H. Hunt & Son. 



Cincinnati, Apr. 11.— Stock of comb honey 

 here is larijer than it ought to be at this time of 

 the year, and this is why it is offered for very 

 low figures. Water-whii'e is sold at 14(5)14)^ 

 and hard to obtain; for extra fancy, 15c. 



Extracted finds a steady sale, and amber is 

 sold in barrel lots for SCaSi^c; water-whits al-

C. H. W. Webbr. 



New York, Apr. ".—Comb honev, last year's 

 crop, practically cleaned up, but as we wrote a 

 little while ago we had received new crop from 

 Cuba, and are now receiving new crop from the 

 South. Demand is fair at 14c for fancy white, 

 13c for No.l, 12c for No.2, and lOcallc foramber. 



Extracted: The market is decidedly dull. 

 Very little demand, with large stocks on hand, 

 some of which no doubt will have to be carried 

 over, and indications point to a further decline 

 in prices. We quote: White, 6c; light amber, 

 5%c: amber, Sc; Southern, S2H(S'£Sc per gallon, 

 according to quality. Even these prices are 

 shaded in car lots. Beeswax, scarce and firm

 honey, except very low grades at verV low pri- 

 ces. We quote extra fancy, 4c; No. i, 12(ai3c; 

 other grades, 8@10c. E.ttracted, S@6c. Bees- 

 wax scarce; fancy, 2S(3)30c; dark, 22(ai2Sc.

 tracted, white, S%(S:~; light amber, 4i<(aSc; 

 amber, 4® — . Beeswax, good to choice, light, 

 26(a28c; dark, 24@2Sc. 



While spot stocks are of rather light volume, 

 holders show more inclination to unload than 

 they did a month ago. Although quotable val- 

 ues are without marked change, concessions 

 are granted to buyers which would not have 

 been thought of at the beginning of the vear. 

 A large proportion of the honey now offering- is 

 comb of medium grade.
