Goleta, Calif. (Mrs.) Lucy That picture, " Where they have foul brood," with surroundings all grown up with weeds, looks like a favorable place for the disease, where it is not likely to be interfered with until it has completed its deadly work. A Successful Lady Beekeeper Under this title, Geo. W.
