SaIicylic Acid as Cure for Foul Brood.

Paper read before the Los Angeles
Bee Keepers Society by Jno. P. Bruck:
During the year before last the re-
searches of quite a number of German
scientific men, but more particularly
those of Prof. Shonfeld had demon
strated that the foul brood amongst
bees was caused by q fungus allied to
those causing fermentation, or by a
variety of those infinitismally small
creatures known as bacteria orvibriO-
mes, the primordal form of life, the
smallest living creatures yet discov-
ered
A short time previous another Ger
man Professor, Kolb, had discovered
an acid which though destructive of
these minute creatures was altogether
harmless to animal tissues of higher
organizations. From a theoretical
standpoint therefore it was highly
probable that this acid, now called
salicylic acid, would prove efficacious
against foul-brood, and in the early
part of last year various recommends
tons of this kind appeared in the Ger
man bee journals. We do not hear,
ofany practical result thereof until
Mr.. Siebeneck published his expert.
ment in the second May number of
the Bienenzeit,mg. This communi-
cation is substantially as follows:
81 took small brush or pencil and
lightly though thoroughly moistened
every comb contaiping foul-brood,
wherever there were any affected or
sunken cells. took out all empty or
partially empty combs, and reduced
the size of the hive as much as possi-
BILE, and moistened the inner walls as
we'll as the entrance of the hive.
Three or four days after, the hive was
again looked after, and all newly sunk
en- cells treated as before. Where
there are great quantities of the foul
brood cells they had, perhaps, better
be cut out and the cut edges mois-
tened with the acid. have made va
rious experiments in the last year, and

To Our Brother Bee-keep ers.

1t will doubtless be gratifying to
every apiarian who reads the Weekly
HERALD to know that arrangements
have been made for an agricultural
department in its columns.
We have concluded to take charge
of this department for the present, and
will devote our efforts to make it both
interesting and beneficial to all those
engaged in this branch of industry,
which has been SO. long neglected and
which as science, is as we believe,
but in its infancy.
The discoveries and improvements
made in this department the past few
years by some of the most learned and
scientific men of the age has awakened
an interest in this department of in
dustry, both in Europe and America.
There is perhaps no country in the
world where nature offers greater in
ducements for the pursuit of this
pleasing occupation than Southern
California, where climate and pasture
age is so favorable with so little labor
and so remunerative. 1t is only through
the medium of the press that apia-
rians can keep pace with the advance
| ments that are being made in their
! department. Interchange of opinion
is essential for our advancement-w
therefore urge our Bookkeeping friends
| to free Interchange Of opinion on the
various topics pertaining to their oc-
cupation through the columns of the
HERALD. We hope to hear from our
friends in different parts of the country
whenever they have anything of inter-
est to com mmunicate. Owing to our
limited pace, we request that all COM
municatlons be as brief as possible.
We will endeavor to give not less
than one column of matter pertaining
to agriculture each week which will re.
late more directly to bee keeping in
this country than can be found in any
Eastern Bee journal. All communi-
cations to this department should be
addressed to

His Honor, Judge Gray, is nothing
if not polite to the ladies. The other
day he had two pretty milliners in his
court in a civil case involving the
price of a show window. The Judge
had prepared for the occasion with a
clean shave, new collar and bewitch-
ing bouquet on his desk, but it was of
no avail; the law was against the fair
clients, and of course the court had to
decide accordingly. The Judge now
bewails his sweetness wasted.

We would call special attention to
the article on Foul Brood, from the
pen of John P. Bruck, one of our most
intelligent Bee-keepers. This much
dreaded disease has already made its
appearance in some parts of Southern
California. For many years it has
been thought that the only remedy
was the determination of the colony
infected, but it now seems that there
is Balm in Gilead." Let every Bee
keeper preserve copy of this remedy
as it might be money in his pocket
Should any one have occasion to ap-
ply the remedy, they will please re-
port success.

A True Word for Mrs. Grant.

The public will not take kindly to
reflections or inuendOes against Mrs.
President Grant. She may have
accepted a watch from Gen. ingalls,,
and if 70, committed what proves to
be an indiscretiou, as it is judged by
the light Of present events; but in
all the food Of debauchery that has
been surging about the ajministra-
ton, Mrs. Grant has borne herself
with true womanly dignity and pro-
priety. Considering the shOddy So
cial surroundings of power, and the
reign of greed that has made the
highest authority the play thing of
its purpose, the rare prudence and
entirely blameless demesnor of Mrs.
Grant, is just cause for the sincere
cOngrat.llati0n of the country. II
is evident that neither Gen. Ingalls,
nor any other person, has ever COM
plicated the wife of the President
in any interference to advance
speculative or political interests,
and it IL most unjust to assume b 1t
an intended or actual present to
her by an old comrade in arms of
her husband, was neither given or
received with any corrupt purpose.
For seven years Mrs. Grant has been
she mistress of the White House.
aud her name has uniformly and
justly escaped the scandals which
have spared 90 few in their sweep.
She has been Q model of q modest,
sensible woman for the women OF
her country, and commando the uni
versal respect Of the nation.-Pha.

A. T. Stewart.
The New York Sun says:


Mr.. Stewart did not rise to for
tune by chance or lucky speculation
or favoring opportunities. He made
himself what he was, one of the
richest men in America, by legiti-
mate business, industry, prudence,
wisdom, and . rare adaptation for
his pursuit which approaches what
We call genius. When many years
ago he kept little store in lower
Broadway, he exhibited the quail
ties which made him the great dry
goods dealer he afterward became,
aud a. years and wealth accumuls
ted, he did not relax effort or lose
his enthusiasm in his avocation.
Though he became gigantic mer-
chant, yet he was to the day Of his
last sickness just as attentive to
his affairs rs when he himself, al
most unaided, stood behind the
short counter opposite the Park,
forty years ago. His aptitude for
his trade was shown when at that
time he introduced the novelty of
stationary chairs for ladies to sit
upon as they sought what they
wished to purchase, and thus made
his shop . popular one. He, too,
was the first 10 introduce the one
price system, and to forbid his
clerks to solicit buyers.
He moved slowly, never taking
he could not meet, never
extending himself, and utterly ban
ishing from his business everything
that offended the Law of financial
success.
