Harrison, of Peoria, Ills., has had a tussel wjth La Orippe. If we could have some fair weather for a few days, the sun would soon drive away the terrible plague. Nearly one-fourth of all the people in Chicago are or have been aliflicted with the malady. There were 150 funerals here last Sunday. Many other places are in a similar ; The Large Manufacturers of comb- foundation, who use steam for melting the wax are, we believe, now doing very nearly like Mr. Corniel suggests on page 447. They keep the wax very hot for a long time, and in all probability do kill the microbes and spores. We commend this subject to their consideration, and hope they will be able to show that Mr. Corniel's fears on this subject are groundless. We would like to hear from Messrs. Dadant & Son. and A. I. Root, as to their heating methods, and the temperatures obtained in making comb- foundation in tlieir factories. High. Side-Walls are demanded in Europe, when selecting comb-founda- tion ; consequently Mills are required to make such, and it is quite a compliment to America that European apiarists send here to have Mills made for them. We have just received a sample of comb- foundation with very high side-walls made on a Mill, which was recently con- structed to order by Mr. A. T. Root, for an apiarist and supply-dealer in Switzer- land, and is now in transit thither. AVn should imagine that the walls are suffi- ciently high to satisfy anyone—even the most exacting. The workmanship on the Mill must be first-class, for the pro- duct is simply superb. It reflects great credit upon Mr. J. T. Calvert, the man- ager of the Root establishment. Bees on Shares. I wish to know the terms on which bees are kept on shares. 1. What per- centage of increase and honey should the owner receive, when he furnishes the stock and fixtures ?
