American foul brood Gotten called
simply foul brood') 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 it is found in almost all sec
lions 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 al
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 energies, 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

the diseased condition of the colony.
The sense of smell is also appealed to,
as a 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 a
strong out-current, and as necessary
consequence, CORRESPONDENCE in
draught are set up. Should any at
tempt be made at removing a dead
larva which has assumed a deep
brown tint, it's body tenaciously ad-
herring to the cell wall will stretch out
into long and thin strings like half
dried glue. The microscopic can eas1-
ly explain this. The thin chitinous
aerating sacs and tracheae do not I'M
dergo decomposition at all easily, and
these remaining, occasion the pecu-
liarity referred to. The d.
sease is terribly infectious, and once
started soon spreads from cell to
cell and often from stock to stock.

AGRICULTURE In
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
BY Prof. d. o. Barto, University OF
Illinois, Agricultural College.

First there must be body Of teach
ers with special training for this
work; second, pupils must remain
longer in school; third, the work
should be adapted to local conditions
and the capacity of the pupils.
The agricultural colleges have al
| ready worked out and formulated a
vast amount of scientific knowledge
admirably adapted to Institutional
work in the secondary schools. Our
own college of agriculture has begun
the training of teachers for such
schools.
l would like to make the study of
agriculture permanent feature in the
course of every high school; because
the deepest interest of this commune
ty is agriculture. and l believe it
to be the duty of the high school to
advance the interest of the people
who are supporting it and give the
child that training which shall best
fit him for his vocation; because the
environment of these pupils is wholly
of the country and the farm, and
therefore agriculture provides the
most effective field in which 20 reach
and teach them; because agricultural
science offers a subject for education
al purposes unsurpassed by any other
in our schools.
Instruction for these boys and girls
should be about things which enter
into their daily life, and have to do
with the interests of the home and the
farm. with earning living. and max
ing money-why these are real things,
and have never been associated in
their minds with school and educa-
tioa. These young people have
learned by daily contact many of the
commoner theories and practices of
farm life. but when they llearn in
these schools how the key of science
can unlock for them the mysteries OF
the soil and give them a power'to con-
troll plant and animal life as they will,
the indifference which has walled in
so many pupils will rapidly crumble
to dust.
