"Wanted —A Sample of Foul Brood. I have been searching our State for a little piece of foul brood, and have failed to find it. If this meets the eye of any one in any State that has foul brood in his apiary, please cut a small piece out and place it in a little, tight paper-box— say something like a capsule box—and mail it direct to Dr. Wm.

But by all means have your hives all uniform, or you will very soon regret it. The American hive, the Simplicity hive, or the Gallup, and almost all the movable-frame hives now in use, are a success in the hands of a good apiarist. We do not need any winter hive^ here, such as chaff-packing, etc., but a nice, well made movable-comh hive is all we need in the South. Better shun all ad- vertisements of hives t
