again, one cannot always find their homes. 

 There is a large red ant that annoys bee- 

 keepers very much along this (Florida) 

 coast. These ants will sometimes destroy 

 a good colony of bees in a few nights, or 

 even in a single night's attack. 



C. H. Dibbern— Early in the spring when 

 the ants appear on the surface is a good 

 time to destroy them. Dig a hole into their 

 nests, and pour in 'o pint of gasoline — it 

 will fix 'em. 



Adrian Getaz — Yes, "Rough on Rats" 

 mixt with honey will do the job. A wire- 

 cloth should be placed so as to prevent the 

 bees from reaching the "stuff." The ants 

 can crawl in thru the meshes. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown— It their nests are 

 under or near the hive use scalding water. 

 Follow with a thick coat of quick-lime or 

 tobacco-dust. If your hives have legs, or 

 set on benches with legs or supports, paint 

 around these with a solution of corrosive 

 sublimate, and the ants will not pass over. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — Yes. boiling hot water 

 poured on their nests until completely sat- 

 urated, or coal-oil. Where a quilt and a 

 cover are used the ants will frequently do a 

 "land office business" rearing ants be- 

 tween the quilt and cover. A little lime 

 sprinkled where they congregate will effect- 

 ually drive them away. 



G. W. Demaree— O, my friend, you ask 

 too much, unless you will permit me to 

 suggest dynamite and blow up Old Earth. 

 Practically, however, you can control the 

 ants that infest your bee-hives, etc.. by 

 smearing wet salt in all their lurking- 

 places. It is a little trouble, but it pays me 

 largely for the e.\tra labor. 



E. S. Lovesy — I confess that I am stalled 

 on this question. I have used cyanide of 

 potassium, sulphur, salt-peter, vitriol, car- 

 bolic acid, strychnine, arsenic, London pur- 

 ple. Paris green, and many others, and I 

 have destroyed many millions, yes, many 

 bushels: but when we come to the scope of 

 the question — a total annihilation of this 

 pest — X have failed to accomplish the de- 

 sired result. I have heard that there is a 

 powder that will destroy them, which 

 makes them crazy, so that they will kill 

 each other, but so far I have not been able 

 to find it. If any cf our friends can solve 

 this secret we will treat them like a prince, 

 it they come our way. 



Good Surplus Honey Crop. 



We had severe winter losses here, but 

 what we had left built up rapidly, and a 

 good crop of surplus honey is now being 

 taken off, principally from sweet clover, 

 basswood and white clover. We have had 

 fine rains, and the prospects tor a tall honey 

 crop are fine. The price of comb honey is 

 121.,' cents per pound. Kankakee.

Doing Moderately Well. 



Bees are doing moderately well here. 

 They stored some surplus from alfalfa 

 bloom, but the webworm is fast destroying 

 both bloom and leaf. The worms are also 

 destroying katfir corn. 



I have a good home market for all the 

 honey I have produced so far. I am get- 

 ting 15 cents a section for it. We have had 

 the wettest July on record.
