The lighter form is 'Sauerbrut,' which can readily turn into 'Stinkende' (Eu- ropean) foulbrood, and finally into American foulbrood, since bacillus larva;, which comes forth more abund- antly than one thinks, crowds out the other ; When we first came into contact with European foulbrood, we were at a loss to understand how some beekeep- ers could maintain that it was a " stink- ing " disease, nor could we ever find any traces of slight ropiness such as we were led to believe existed by prominent writers. Later experiences have shown us, however, that under some circumstances the ropiness ex- ists, although in the light cases we have had, no smell was noticeable. In one or two instances the color and ropiness were so pronounced as to lead us into believing that the colony was aflfected with American foulbrood. This, I believe, will explain why au- thorities disagree so thorou hly as to the smell of European foulbrood. Some have had one stage of the disease described in the pamphlet as "Sauer- brut " while the others have had the the worse form described as " stink- ; Our experience has been almost wholly with the mild form of European foulbrood (Sauerbrut), while we have had only a few cases of the more virile form (Stinkende), and have seen both forms in the same colony. The New York authorities, as I re- member, state that European foulbrood exists in the State, in some cases being much more virulent than in others. Sometimes it gets so bad that it is deemed advisable to shake the colony, as in American foulbrood, so as to weaken the strength of the disease. Hamilton, 111.
