GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

FOUli BKOOl), ANI) ONE OK THE DIFFICULTIES IN 

 GETTING HID OF IT. 



On page 700 of this issue, Iriciid Long' tells us that 

 a good flow of honey may cover up the honey 

 in the hives containing- foul - brood germs, so 

 that it will disappear lor some time. When this 

 new honey is eonsuined, however, so that they jrct 

 down to the old honey in the bottom of the cells, 

 foul brood makes its appearance ag-ain. Now, with 

 such a state of affairs I can hardly understand how 

 phenol or any thing- else can reach the whole of the 

 trouble. Throwing the honey out of the combs and 

 scalding it, then making the bees clean up such 

 combs and consume the honey before they com- 

 mence brood-rearing again, might do it; but is it 

 not about as cheap, all things considered, to destroy 

 all combs with their contents, when it is known pos- 

 itively that foul brood is in the hive?

We are sorry to be obliged to saj', that, up to date, 

 Mr. Horn has done nothing toward making his 

 promises good; and, so far as we can learn at jn-cs- 

 ent, nothing can be recovered from him by legal 

 means. A few of the friends have seemed to think 

 we ought to hold ourselves responsible because we 

 admitted him into the advertising columns of our 

 journal. Inasmuch as he was responsible, and was 

 so spoken of by his bankers at the time we received 

 his advertisement, we do not feel called upon to 

 make these losses good. Where a man fails by mis- 

 fortune, or even by deliberate plan, it is <iuite a 

 different matter from one who gets into the adver- 

 tising pages of a reliable journal by the carelessness 

 of its proprietors, and thus victimizes its readers. 

 In the case of Mr. Horn, it seems to us that we 

 took all reasonable precaution to find out about 

 him before we received his advertisement: and let 

 it be I'emembered, that he did business squarely 

 and honorably for a good many months.

This is one of IJ. W. Payne & icon's Eureka en- 

 gines, the same that we advertise in our catalogue. 

 It has run 3 months since it was new; has had a 10- 

 foot galvanized-iron smoke-stack added, and is in 

 perfect running order. The man who is holding it 

 had to put in a larger one to meet the denninds of 

 his trade. The price of a new engine and boiler 

 complete, no stack, is :8;:i75.00 ; but to make a (juick 

 sale we will sell this one with the stack for S335.00, 

 free on board cars at Higginsville, Mo.
