of frames fast to the rabbets, which oft- 

 times renders them almost immovable. 



Mrs. A. J. Barber— I have never had any 

 trouble with moth, so I have no experience. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — I never tried it, but do 

 not think so. It would not banish the motb, 

 I am sure. 



G. M. Doolittle— Keep Italian bees, and 

 you will not see wax-motb worms enough 

 to talk about. 



J. M. Hambaugh— I have had no ac- 

 quaintance with the anti-moth-propolis 

 method mentioned. 



J. A. Stone — I don't know, but I think it 

 would be about as objectionable to the bees 

 as the moths would be. 



Rev. M. Mahin— I do not know. I do not 

 believe that the moth lays eggs very often 

 in the places named. 



A. F. Brown— Try it and report. Wax- 

 moths do not bother me, and bee-propolis 1 

 tini everywhere, regardless of conditions. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — It will prevent the 

 motb depositing eggs there while it lasts, 

 but in time the bees will remove what they 

 can get at. 



R. L. Taylor— I have my doubts about 

 the depositing, but the tallow might de- 

 stroy the eggs or the moth-worm coming 

 from them. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— I don't think the moth 

 would lay eggs in tallow, but I don't be- 

 lieve it would make any difference as to 

 worms in the hive. 



E. 8. Lovesy — I have never used tallow, 

 and I never have been troubled with moth 

 where there is a bee-space under and 

 around the frames. 



Mrs. J. M. Null— I never experimented 

 along this line; however, moths are not a 

 consideration only as they destroy combs 

 which are nofin use. 



Chas. Dadant & Son— What it it did pre- 

 vent the moth from laying eggs in corners ' 

 There is no room for moth in a strong col- 

 ony, and there is always room for them in 

 a queenless hive. 



G. VV. Demaree— I have experimented 

 only enough along tbis line to learn that 

 tallow aud other substances that melt at a 

 comparative low temperature are out of 

 place inside of the beehive.

"I am not feeling well to-day. 



But why I cannot see; 

 I bad some ice-cream 'cross the way 



And pancakes home, for tea. 

 I also had some caramels, 



And sugared almonds, too. 

 And when I met with Tommy Wells 



A stick of tine Tulu ; 

 But I was careful with each one. 



For much of none I ate. 

 It cannot be that penny bun. 



And yet the pain is great ! 

 I had six cookies, but I've bad 



Six cookies oft before; 

 They've never left me feeling bad. 



Nor the pickles—three or more. 

 The soda-water couldn't make 



Me ill — 'twas Billy's treat.
