plain that I had to contend with the same 

 kind of foul brood that they did. 



It seems to me that it would be a good 

 time for some of the bee-keepers in these 

 United States, who don't believe Mr. Mc- 

 Evoy can cure foul brood, to open up their 

 hearts towards Father Langstroth by 

 backing their judgment and sending some 

 of their bad foul brood, and some money 

 with it, to Ontario, and have his cure 

 tested, and thus make some money for 

 Father Langstroth, and themselves also, if 

 Mr. McEvoy doesn't get it. 



I wish to say to Mrs. Atchley, that I can 

 cure the worst case of foul brood she can 

 produce, with Mr. McEvoy's remedy, with 

 the exception that I disinfect the hive, but 

 I would not be much afraid of the old hive, 

 for I know his cure is all right up to the 

 not disinfecting the hive, and I believe he 

 knows what he is talking about when he 

 says the hive does not contain the disease, 



I fear there are some bee-keepers who are 

 trying to cure foul brood in localities 

 where there other bees having foul brood. 

 After trying what would be a permanent 

 cure, their bees will get the disease some- 

 where, and bring it to their own hives. 

 Then the apiarist will cry out against the 

 remedy he tried, and if some one else says 

 it is a success, he is ready to say it isn't ; 

 that he tried it, and it would not cure the 

 kind of foul brood his bees had. Bear these 

 things in mind. J. L. Wooldridge.

Bee-Keeping in Louisiana. 



Since our last report of the honey pro- 

 duction in this section, we have received 

 very flattering reports from the bee-keep- 

 ers throughout Louisiana and Texas, 

 Mississippi and Alabama. Our own apiary 

 of 500 colonies has averaged 150 pounds per 

 colony. Our bees are still gathering honey 

 from the golden-rod, and the nectar from 

 this plant is' as light colored as that gath- 

 ered from our celebrated tuopelo gum. 



I visited the city of New Orleans not long 

 since, and found a good deal of glucose 

 being sold there. Our bee-keeping con- 

 gressmen should look to their brother bee- 

 keepers' interest, and put a stop to the 

 adulteratiion of honey by unscrupulous 

 persons. 



The season is about over in this section, 

 and the busy bee will soon retire to her 

 winter quarters to rest her wings until the 

 flowers of spring come again.

Best Season in Four Years. 



The past has been the best season we 

 have had for honey in four years. I put 

 into the cellar, on Nov. 25, 1892, 14 colonies; 

 I lost 2 in wintering, and one from dwind- 

 ling after they were put on the summer 

 ttands, thus leaving 11 to commence the 

 season with — 7 in frame and 4 in box 

 hives. 



I increased to 22 colonies, lost one with 



worms, and 4 skipped for the woods. I 

 have taken off 150 pounds of extracted 

 honey, and 550 pounds of comb honey, and 

 have" now 21 colonies to put into winter 

 quarters. All are apparently in good con- 

 dition for wintering except one, which was 

 five weeks queenless in July and August, 

 three weeks hopelessly so, making them 

 weak in numbers, and light in stores, but I 

 shall try to feed them up and get them 

 through. I transferred the 4 colonies from 

 box to frame hives about the middle of 

 July. S. La Mont.

Convention Pliotograplis. — Bro. 

 Hutchinson's love for his new hobby, pho- 

 tography, is so great that it led him to 

 bring his camera with him to the late con- 

 vention in Chicago, where he made several 

 photographs of the bee-keepers present. Of 

 these, two are fairly good, showing most of 

 the faces quite clearly. One of the pictures 

 is the interior view, showing the bee- 

 keepers in the hall, and the other is the 

 group that gathered on the steps of the 

 hotel towards evening on the first day of 

 the convention. He can furnish these 

 photographs at 50 cents each. He also 

 made excellent photographs of nearly all 

 of the honey exhibits at the World's Fair, 

 which he can furnish at the same price. 

 The size of the pictures is 5x8 inches. Ad- 

 dress Bro. H. at Fint, Mich., and get what 

 pictures you want.
