NATURAL TOOTH BRUSHES.

From The Dundee Adveruser-
Natives OF Somaand have the whitest and
best teeth OF any people in the world, and the
is far o seek. Whenever they are Idle
they may be found rubbing their teeth with small
pieces OF wood. little twlgs which are covered with
q soft bark and which ravels out into brfs les.
This practice prevents the teeth decaying. and OF
course keeps them in excellent condition Just
as one might pick Wild flower in the country. so
the Somali native picks his tooth brush. They
ira never without their small twigs. Tooth brushes
as we know them unknown in Somaliland
Their own methods are undoubtedly the healthiesr,
and certainly the cheapest and IL is matter for
wonder that we do not take leaf out of their
honk this reSnecf.

this information concerning the races
of bees before you for consideration
that you may see more clearly where
in one race differs from another; par
ticu1ar1y several of the newly intro
duced races which are attracting at
tention good deal in this country
just now.
Disregarding color and taking into
consideration the physical makeup
and actions there are two general
types into which the different races
may be classified. First there is the
larger type with more dull pointed
abdomen and with actions more slow
and deliberate, if these terms may
be used in regard to the actions OF
bees. The second type is character
lied by its apparently smaller size
and a much more prominently point
abdomen. Into the first classification
fall the Black, Italian and Carnio1an.
The second type composes the Cy-
perian, Syrian, Palestine, Caucasian
and Banat There are few other
races which belong to these two classes,
but these which have been enumerated
comprise the ones usually known to the

experimental stage. Something Of the
history of these different races is told
in an article in the Southern Agricu1-
turist:
In every specie of bee there arr a
number of different races; of the giant
bee of the East we have Apis Zonata
and Apis Dorsata; of the small sting
less bee Of the tropics, there are some
sixty varieties in South America; and
SO on through the many species of
bees. But we have for consideration
the different races of the honey bee,
Apis melifera.
In discussing this subject I simply
desire to point out the characteristics
of each race without drawing any con-
clusions as to the relative value in
honey production, leaving this to be
done by each one himself. I once
read in a poultry journal that choos-
ing a race of chickens was much like
choosing wife-select the one that
pleases your fancy This to a large
degree is applicable to races of bees.
Some races do not cap their honey
white and one should not attempt to
produce comb honey with such race,
but having decided what end you want

A good many bees are now kept in
this state and there is room for many
thousands of stands more Bee-keep-
ing is a profitable business when car

The fact that there are two races of
bees commonly kept, is we'll known,
that is the black and the Italian, but
it is not so we'll understood that there
are several other races which are be-

races which will meet this end the
one that p1eases you most and stick
to it till success is yours. It will
come; it does to others. With what
race you will succeed is matter for
you to determine.
In pointing out the characteristics
of the different races I shall probably
give nothing but what has appeared

Described by III. S. Fawcett in a
Florida Experiment Station
Bulletin.

A new fungus that gives promise of
being very effective in killing the larvae
of the White Fly has recently been dis
covered It was found by Prof P. H.
Rolls in two different groves in the
Sub Peninsula Attention was called to
it from the fact that 70 to 90 per cent.
of the larvae in recently infested trees
were found to be dead This led to
further investigation as to the cause of
the mortality of the White Fly larvae,
with the result that fungus, not here
tofore noticed, was found. On leaves
sent in later from one of the same
groves, almost every larva had been
killed The same fungus was found to
be present on White Fly larvae sent in
on citrus leaves from the Manatee
River region a few days later
This new White Fly parasite, which
may be called the 'White Fringe" Fun
gus, appears to belong to a genus
known scientifically as Microcera. It
is related to the Red Headed fungus
(Sphaerosti1be coccoohi1a) that is pa
rasitic on San Jose Scale and on vari-
Gus citrus scale insects, but its general
appearance is very different
The White Fringe fungus is not at
all consDicuous to the unaided eve, as
are the Red Yellow and Brown fungi
but under the hand lens it may be made
ont. It appears AS very delicate white
fringe coming out from the margin Of
the larva. IF the leaves are picked and
allowed to drv the fringe disappears.
The dead larvae becomes white and
DaDerv. and later often present a very
s1ioht pinkish appearance.
Our experiments. conducted at
Gainesville. showed that in two weeks
from the time the spores were intro
duced into white hv infested trees, the
fungus was very evident upon previous
lv healthy white fly larvae. Additional
experiments in the laboratory showed
that the spores of the White Fringe
fungus germinate much more quickly
than those of either the Red or the
Yellow fungus.
How far the use Of this fungus will
prove to be of practical value in con-
trolling the White Fly is yet to be de-
termlned by further experiment on a
larger scale. If, however, the fungus
continues to be as active as it has re-
Gently shown itself to be, it will GER
ldlIllV prove OF great value IN further
checking the ravages of this trouble
some pest
Persons finding this fungus in parts
OF their groves, can distribute it into
portions of the grove in which the
White Fly is perfectly healthy, by TAX
ing leaves containing larvae already in
tested with fungus, and pinning them
into trees where the larvae are not vet
diseased. In doing this we would ad-
wise that the f1ngus-containing surface
of the detached leaves be pinned in
contact with the healthy larvae OF the
