Colonies rarely die of it, but they often become weakened by it. He does not con- sider the combs of diseased colonies as infectious. No remedy has yet been given to cure this disease, which usually runs itself out. The advice given by N. E. France is probably the best course to pursue. Strengthen the colony and give it plenty of honey near the brood. If the queen is old, super- sede her. The above named bulletin, which contains 56 pages, is worth perusing, even if some of its scientific terms are "Greek" to the average reader. A valuable amount of information, intelligible to everyone, is stored in it. It deserves a place in every bee- keeper's library. It may be secured from the Department of Agriculture in the usual way. A Convenient Package Filler MOST of the shippers who deal in combless packages of bees fill them by means of an ordi- nary tin funnel set directly into the opening of the package. We are showing herewith two pictures of a package filler (luite ditTerent from those in common use. This filler is used by the Pcnn Company and is supported by two rods which are pressed into the ground to hold it solid. There is a small platform on which the packages to be filled are placed. The big funnel makes rapid work easy since it catches all the bees that are jarred from a frame held over it and there is no danger of a slight jar ove
