Makeshift Fences 

 Make Shiftless Farmers 



Not only th;it, but they have a demor- 

 alizing effect on the live stock of the farm. 

 Here is a sample. Three respectable looking 

 cows, in a good sized pasture, each cow with 

 a yoke on her neck as large as a hen-coop. 

 Comfortable outfit for hot weather!! That 

 farmer has evidently been monkeying with 

 fences ".just as good as the Page."

Can Foul Brood Originate in 

 Putrescent Pollen? 



Query 984.— Is it possible for foul brood 

 to originate in putrescent pollen ?— Old Sixty. 



J. A. Green — I think not. 



B. Taylor — I do not know. 

 Eugene Secor — I think not. 



C. H. Dibbern— I think not. 

 E. France — No, I think not. 

 W. R. Graham — I think not. 

 Dr. C. C. Miller— I think not. 



G. M. Doolittle — I could not say. 



P. H. Elwood— Not without the foul- 

 brood germs. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — Is it possible to 

 raise a fig from a thistle? 



Chas. Dadant & Son — Not unless the 

 germs of foul brood are there. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown— Not unless the 

 germs of the disease are present. 



W. G. Larrabee — Ask the foul-brood 

 inspector, or any one that knows. 



Jas. A. Stone — I have never seen foul 

 brood, and of course do not know. 



R. L. Taylor — No, never, unless from 

 seed of the disease first planted there. 



Wm. M. Barnum — Yes ; cases of this 

 kind have been recorded. It is well to 

 be on the safe side — in the spring, espe- 

 cially. 



H. D. Cutting — Not unless the germs 

 of foul brood are taken there. I don't 

 believe you will take the smallpox from 

 the itch. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — I should like to an- 

 swer the querist by asking this question: 

 Can you produce yellow fever with small- 

 pox virus ? Something from nothing is 

 against Nature. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — I don't know, 

 though it is something to deal gently 

 with. We know there are many things 

 which produce sickness in the human 

 family, though it may not always pro- 

 duce smnllpojc. 



Allen Pringle — If you mean would it 

 be possible for the putrescent pollen to 

 originate the foul brood spores, I think 

 not. If you mean might the spores find 

 congenial lodging in the putrescent pol- 

 len and develop there, I have my doubts 

 about that, loo. 



.1. E. Pond — In my opinion, no : and I 

 have yet to see any evidence that to my 

 mind amounts to proof that such can be 

 the case. The matter has been dis- 

 cussed somewhat, and I know of but one 

 man who makes the claim that it can, 

 and bis opinion is of no value to myself. 



G. W. Demaree — I think not. Blue- 

 grass Kentucky has never shown up a 

 case of virulent foul brood, but I have 

 seen dead brood that smelled to the 

 skies. All dead animal matter will be- 

 come " foul." But sour pollen is another 

 thing. I would not fear its presence as 

 much as the decaying animal matter. 



Rev. M. Mahin— I have never seen a 

 case of foul brood, and do not wish to ; 

 but I am very sure that foul brood can 

 only originate from the spores of the 

 bdcUli of foul brood. There is no such 



thing as spontaneous generation. Foul 

 brood originates from, or is produced by, 

 living germs, and life comes only from 

 life. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott — It is not possible 

 for foul brood to originate any place 

 where there are no germs which cause 

 foul brood, any more than it is for ducks 

 to spring up spontaneously where there 

 are no eggs. Do not think " putrescent 

 pollen" (whatever that may mean) 

 would furnish a good nidus for the 

 germs.
