What he obtained later in pound cans at the higher price of 40 cents a pound, altho it seemed equally effective in destroying- worms, would only burn slowly without explosion when a lighted match was dropt into it. Bisulphide of carbon is far ahead of sulphur, in that it destroys eggs and worms of all ages, and apparently with equal facility, for when you find one worm dead you may count all dead, whereas with sulphur it is very difficult to kill other than the smaller worms, and eggs are apparently unaffected by it. But it is important that the bisulphide be rightly used. The combs to be treated must be put in some- thing that can be closed perfectly' tight. Then a consider- able quantity—say a small tumblerful—must be used; no danger of using too much, for as soon as any of the larvae are found dead, the bisulphide can be poured back—that is, what is left unevaporated—and it will be as good as ever. The bisulphide is simply left to evaporate in an open dish in the tighth' confined space. This better grade of bisul- phide seems to have no bad effect upon section honey, and may prove a "boon to those who find it necessary to fumigate section Mr. James A. Stonk, of Bradforton, 111., secretary of the Illinois State Bee-Keepers' Association, has been nomi- nated for the office of State Auditor, on the prohibition ticket. Here's a chance for Illinois bee-keepers, and all others in this State who wish to do so, to vote for a candi- date who is not owned or controlled by the liquor crowd— who dares to speak out against that terrible curse—the American saloon—army canteen and all. # * * * * Mr. Chas. Clarke is a bee-keeper located about 14 miles south of Chicago. We called on him Friday, July 20. He has some 30 colonies right in the midst of a fine sweet clover region, and his bees were putting up as fine white comb honey as could
