If your theory was correct, every larva in a foul colony would have the disease when a foul- broody colony got in such a state with the disease that the bees could fan the germs out at the entrance ! Every bee-keeper in the world that has ever had any experience with foul brood knows that there is always some sound larva in foul-broody colonies in the breeding season, until the foul colo- nies are almost dead from the disease. I cannot spare the time to go to Michi- gan and treat a foul-brood colony by my methods of curing foul brood, but I will, in June, put a very foul-broody colony in charge of Mr. Gemmill and Prof. Mac- kenzie to cure by my methods, in the same old hive, without having the old hive disinfected in any way. So Mr. Graden can send his $100 to Mr. Emigh, of Holbrook, Ont., to hold, and I will put up my money as soon as his is up.
