the diseased condition of the colony.
The sense of smell is also appealed to,
as peculiar, very offensive, and ex-
tremely characteristic odor now es-
capes from the diseased combs. The
bees, in addition, lose energy, but be-
come unusually active in ventilating
their hive by standing at the door,
heads towards home, and Tapping
their wings persistently so that q

consequence, correspondingly in
draught are set up. Should any at

THE FARMER BOY.
Temper the Work TO His Strength
and Let Him Have His Play Time.

Every farmer desires to keep his
boy at home as long as he can do so,
that he may thus live protected life
as long as possible This is right. 1t
is a mistake to permit the farm boy
TO launch out for himself at too ten
der an age The father of the boy
must remember that the muscles of
the boy are not hard like his own and
that he cannot do the same amount of
work as he himself can do, with
equal ease. The muscles of grow.
ing boy are soft, for they are con
stantiy being increased in size by the
addition OF new material
Many farm boys are driven from the
farm by too hard work. They are
made to take the place of hired man
at very early age and the father
often forgets that they have not the
same indifference to pleasures as him
self. The boy needs a good deal OF
recreation and a chance to mingle
with other farm boys. The farm boy
should have fair chance at the pleas
ures OF childhood and youth. as the
city boy has. His work should be
carefully limited.
The usual farm boy is worker
anyway. He early learns to do the
most difficult tasks on the farm, says
Farmers Review, and is worth much
more to his parents than any hired
man is. worth. His parents should
therefore study him and his needs.
His needs include many things besides
the food he gets and the clothes he
wears, "All work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy" is an old saying,
but strictly true. Many a farm boy
has been overworked into a dullness
that has lasted him his life through.

American foul brood (often called
simply foul brood'D is distributed
through all parts of the United States,
and from the symptoms published in
European journals and texts one is
led to believe that it is also the preva-
lent brood disease in Europe. AL
though Il is found in almost all sec
tons of the United States, there are
many localities entirely free from di-
sease Of any kind
The adult bees of an infected colony
are usually rather inactive and do
little toward cleaning out infected ma
terial. When the larvae are first af-
fected, they turn to a light chocolate
color, and in the advanced stages of
decay they become darker, resembling
roasted coffee in color Usually the
larvae are attacked at about the time
of Gaping, and most of the cells con-
tanning infected larvae are capped
AS decay proceeds, these cappings be-
come sunken and perforated, and, as
the healthy brood emerges, the comb
shows the scattered cells containing
larvae which have died of disease,
still capped. The most noticeable
characteristic of this infection is the
fact that when a small stick is in
serted in a larva which has died of
the disease, and slowly removed, the
broken-down tissues adhere to it and
