. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. FIG. THE GIANT THISTLE OF CHILE Lafitte, and called "El Apicultor ; But, alas! This, like so many of her sister journals, died a nat- ural death.

The latest book on beekeeping, however, is by a Swiss, Juan Brunner. It is "Curso de Apicul- tura," and the writer understands that Senor Brunner is connected in some way with the Institute Agronomico at Santiago, where there is now an ex- perimental apiary and where courses in beekeeping are also given. The only apiary of Langstroth hives that the writer found was that of Mr. John A. Wolflfsohn. In fact, Mr. WolfT- sohn has been the only beekeeper that has been successful with the American hive, although prior to 1912 there were some 800 or 900 of our hives in use in Chile. The failures were due solely to the fact that those employing our make lacked knowledge of the rudimentary principles of beekeeping. As an ex- porter, Mr. Wolffsohn, at one time han- dled one-half of the entire amount of honey that was shipped out of Chile. He is today not only the best informed man on apicultural matters, but is also doing more than any other to advance our industry in Chile. The future of beekeeping in Chile is exceptionally bright. Th: climate is like that of California, and the honey- producing flora is not only rich but practically limitless. Splendid loca- tions abound from the northern Prov- ince of Atacama to the southern Prov- ince of Llanquihue. The uppermost provinces are comparable with the Im- perial Valley of California, and, where there is irrigation, good crops of alfalfa honey are produced. The central provinces are not unlike the big valleys of California, with the exception, of course, that they are not nearly as large. Of the tr
