HAMILTON, ILL., NOVEMBER, 1913 Vol. LIII.—No. 11 Editorial Comments The New Scheme ol" the Two Doctors The article on another page by Dr. Bonney cannot fail to attract attention. It is quite a coincidence that two bee- keepers, each a physician, and each in- dependently of the other, should have conceived the same idea. They are alike, too, in the fact that neither one has carried out this scheme so fully as to be entirely sure of its success. In Gleanings in Bee Culture for Oct. 1 is the article by Dr. G. A. Humpert, which is so closely resembled in prin- ciple by the article of Dr. Bonney that it might be supposed Dr. Bonney had been guilty of plagiarism. Such a thing, however, is entirely precluded by the fact that Dr. Bonney's article was received before the publication of Dr. Humpert's article, even supposing Dr. Bonney capable of plagiarism. Dr. Humpert has devised a special machine for cutting out the plugs of honey, and then, just as Dr. Bonney, he puts them in the sections to be fast- ened in by the bees. He found them fastened into the section-frame within 24 hours, but not so well as in 36. Only after a thing is fairly tried by the bees can any one be sure of its suc- cess or failure, and it might be well to suspend opinion until after another harvest gives opportunity for trial by all who are interested. Yet one would har<lly be a beekeeper without discuss- ing in advance anything in which such possibilities seem involved. Very prominently, in the minds of many, will stand forth the thought of the much larger amount of honey pro- duced in extracting frames as com- pared with sections, and then if we can have the combs turned into sections by spend
