The thicker thehoney, the more the air is mixed with this reason it is advisable to extractcombs that are warm. If the weather is nothot at the time the extracting is done, theextracting room should be made hot by theuse of stoves, for the thinner the honey, inmy opinion, the less the air is introduced inthe process of extracting. The pump shouldnot run any faster than necessary to keepthe extractor empty. GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE May, 1922 wWi^mt^ SfK&M THWffiEDWBC. EUROPEAN FOUL BROOD Two Difficulties Encountered in Cleaning up Thi;Disease and How One Was Solved For three years I have battled with Euro-])ean foul brood in my West Virginia apiaryand have encountered every form and phaseof this deadly disease.

I have reached the definite conclusionthat the beekeeper may as well make uphis mind to fight this disease year afteryear, if it ever gets a foothold in his neigh-borhood, because, although Ave can secureperfect co-operation of all the beekeepersand eradicate it in our apiaries, there willremain a continual source of re-infect
