If foul- brood spores do float in the air as per Cornell, all " dead larvae " is subject to being a "lodgment" for the floating spores. This doctrine that Mr. Cornell promulgated concerning spores of foul- brood floating in the air is more ridicu- lous than his ominous heralding of the periodicals to find what I had written, and he found in the Bee-Keepers' Ex- change, for 1882, an article that I wrote on the subject of foul-brood, and he quotes a sentence, from which he assumes to tell readers of the Bee Jour- nal that they "will be surprised to learn " that I was aware of Dr. Shoen- feld's experiments previous to the announcement of my "pretended dis- ; That is, I claimed to be the first who discovered that foul-brood is a germ disease, when I well knew that Shoenfeld had announced, years before, just what I aimed to palm off as my own HOME APIARY OF C.
