STAHLMAN. MR. HILL, Dear Sir:—When I read The Bee-Keeper, which comes to me regularly, I cannot: help being interested and benefited by reading the articles which it con- tains. I herewith send you a photo of the apiary of F. G. Hinman, of Gal- lupville, N. Y., of which I was the apiarist this season—1903. The per- son standing is the proprietor, a man of good business qualHie;-!, a man of his M'ord, and one that admires a tasty-looking apiary, and every pai't of it kept up in order. The person sit- ting on the hive is the writer, "ion will notice I am holding a ramons rabbit dog, but unfortunately the little fellow turned his head .iust as the pic- ture was taken and therefoi'e is no good. As you will see, the apiary is located In an apple orchard on quite level ground. The,hives are all in rows, which permits the use of a lawn mower. They are of the L size and the apiary is run for comb honey prin- cipally; but if there are any weak col- onies they are run for extracted When I say that bees in this vicinity are kept on business principles you may think I may be throwing a hint that only bees here are run I'ight. But let me tell you when a man keeps bees where the ruins of foul brood have ex- isted for six years (and still exists), he must do things pretty near right or the result will be failure every time. The yard in view has been diseased quite badly, but has been rid of the disease and the whole apiary of 126 colonies are in winter quarters in good shape. We have tried all sorts oF cures for foul brood, the formaldehyde cure in- cluded, and as to formaldehyde curing foul brood to perfection, I am not ready to say that it will. We have made tests all along this line, giving double doses and every other To cure is easy, but to stay cured is an- other thing
