The reason lies in the fact that the selling part of the business has not yet been reduced to the system as here in America. They are lacking the middle- man; the very man cried down so much here. He, as he does in America, could serve a good purpose there as well. Very good retail packages for ex- tracted honey are offered for sale to the German bee-keepers, some holding as little as 1-4 poimd, and up to 10 pounds, made of flint glass. Glass- works in Silesia make them in six dif- ferent styles. The German bee-keepers are in a sad plight as to honey adulterations. A dealer of honey in Hamburg says: "A great deal of artificial honey is consumed in Germany. The product is usually sugar-syrup flavored with a little honey and bee-bread decoction. Unfortunately a great deal of fraud is practiced and the artificial mixture is palmed off as the genuine article, sold to bakeries and small consumers. The authorities are powerless, as there is no sure way to detect the fraud out- side of judging by the taste and odor, and they have given up the idea of watching for adulteration in ; P. Neuimann, after an experience of twenty-five years with foul brood says in Leipz. Bztg. that with the exception of a very few cases he has always been able to trace the different cases to the transmission of the disease from one hive to the other, from one bee- yard to another. Not until the bee- keepers become convinced that the fire- cure is to be practiced on discovery of a foul broody hive will the disease be controlled. Generally speaking German writers favor the destruction of foul broody colonies by fire. Edi
