We are 2,000 feet above the sea now, and the boiling- point is not as high as in lower altitudes. Mr. Howe—I took about 200 samples, but the lowest temperature was 225 deg-rees, the highest 235. Our altitude is about 900 feet. Mr. Root—What was the temperature ? Mr. Howe—I think 228 degrees was the average. It is a good deal of fun to experiment. Pres.

[Laughter.] Temperature has a good deal to do with it, but if it is thoroly done I don't think you will have any more trouble. When we left home our hives were full of honey. Mr. Abbott—I would like to ask Mr. Whitcomb if he doesn't think there is danger of the foul brood appearing yet ? Has a long enough time past to show ? Pres. Whitcomb—We have examined them very care- fully, and there are no indications of any disease. I un- derstand that foul brood grows very rapidly—will appear in a few hours after infection. But I find that in examining them closely young bees are hatching, and no signs of foul brood. Mr. Abbott—The reason I askt the question was, I had never had much to do with foul brood, and I am glad of it. I knew a man whose bees were troubled with it, and he came to me for advice. I told him that the best thing he could do was to build a fire around the infected hives. But that lookt wasteful to him, and he came down several times and thought he had everything all right, but it would crop out again. It reminded me of a storj' of a Philadelphia doctor that my father used to tell about. He wanted to see a noted doctor, and said to a man, "Can you tell me where Dr. Jones lives?"
