would have been dead long ago, as they sleep 

 in crowded quarters, shut up just as tight as 

 possible, drink water out of any stream or 

 mud-hole, and all the slop water is pitched 

 into the middle of the street; and in many of 

 the small towns you will see not only stag- 

 nant water but dead cats and dogs in the 

 street. It is only tlie beautiful sunshine and 

 the fresh pure air Ijlowing constantly over 

 the island that saves the people. 



In regard to what Mr. Reiman has to say 

 about Cuba, page 1178, I should like to have 

 a few words. It is certainly interesting read- 

 ing; but lots of his statements, although they 

 may be true for his part of the island, do not 

 apply to Cuba as a whole, and will give peo- 



ple a wrong impression. I get mj^ coal oil, 

 the best, for 30 cts. per gallon. I do not 

 think any one would try to palm off foul- 

 broody bees on a buyer. " I am sure there is 

 no foul brood around me.

I am a cai'penter by trade, and do not have 

 much time to work with my bees.
