PEARL RIVER 2 MILES WIDE AT JACKSON

Jackson, Miss, April s.-(Special) ) Pearl river continues on rampage, the guage this morning reading 29.9, and the water continuing to rise. The fair grounds are now covered as is the baseball park immediately in the rear of the old capitol. In other words, Pearl river is about two miles wide at Jackson. No serious damage has been done so far except to freshly plowed ground and the stopping of all farming operations in the bottoms above and below Jackson.

FORAGE POISONING

In bulletin on forage poisoning,
E. w. Mumms, veterinary department,
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station. says:
"In the last two months numerous
letters have been received from farm
ers reporting the presence of this dis
ease in very virulent form, resulting
in the loss OF. large numbers of anil
mails
"The cause of this disease is closely
related to the feed. In the majority of
outbreaks observed in the Blue Grass
section and along the Ohio River eoun-
ties, where it has been most prevalent,
the cause is attributed to moldy or in
ferior ensilage. Samples of ensilage
have been received at the Experiment
Station for detailed study, and DR.. Fl.
Garmsn reports the presence OF molds
which are considered the cause of for
age poisoning in one of the middle
western states.
THE disease has occurred more
commonly in horses and mules where
ensllage was the principal feed. En-
silage of high grade can be fed to
horses and mules with both safety and
profit, but when tainted or inferior,
ensilage should be fed very sparingly
TO any class of live stock. Cattle, how.
ever, are not so subject to its i'll ef-
fects as are horses and mules. The
practice of feeding ensilage to the lat.
ter must be carried on with care, and
careful inspection of the ensilage must
be made at each feeding time in order
to discard all inferior portions. Il
should not be fed early in the morn,
ing or late in the evening when it is
impossible to detect the spoiled and
inferior feed.
There seems to be but little doubt
that this trouble could be wholly elm
mated, or partially so, by the correct
construction OF the silo, as a majority
OF the outbreaks have occurred where
the silo was improperly built. All silos
should be covered. The silo expert
may not concede that this is essential
but our observations lead us to believe
that this is an excellent precaution
Any growth of molds or decomposition
in the upper layers of the silage VIII
be carried downward by rain and con
tinue to spoil the ensilage
The elimination of the losses, which
this year will approximate s2s, 900. 90
lies therefore, in prevention. Some
outbreaks have occurred following the
feeding Of moldy corn~or hay, all OF
which must be discarded and de-
stroyed il the loss is to be entirely
prevented Animals suffering from
forage poisoning do not as rule re-
spond readily to treatment. This was
shown in the outbreak OF 1912, when
only "a cattle were saved from the 1874
affected; LAT horses out OF 612 affect
ed; l6 mules out OF lis affected. On
the appearance OF the disease a com
plete change of feed and quarters is
quite essential, and each animal
should be given a laxative TO rid the

The Green June Bugs (Ailorhina
nitida) on one occasion worried a col
ony of mine by attempting to pass
the guard at the entrance. Their thick
crust seemed to protect them against
the stings, and after being rolled from
the alighting board by gang of an
CRY bees, they came back and tried
again. Narrowing the entrance and
destroying the BEETLES by hand served
after a time to put a stop to the at
tack. The occasion for their peculiar
behavior seemed to be the nearness OF
the hives to mass of decaying yege-
table matter in which the. BEETLES de-
veloped.
A good many enemies besides those
mentioned are known, but they are
not much feared by good beekeepers
Prevention, keeping, colonies strong
in good hives, etc, are sufficient pre-
cautions against most OF them.
Among the Diseases.
The diseases known as Foul Brood
are quite a different matter, and the
very mention of foul brood is likely ia
rasp the nerves of the best OF beekeep
ers. Two different diseases are known
by this name, one being designated
American Foul Brood, the other, Euro
pean Foul Brood. Both are germ dis
eases, carried by rod-shaped bacteria
which attack the brood aud infect the
hives and combs so that they must be
treated or destroyed to get rid Of the
taint.
The two diseases may be described
as followsa
American Foul Brood.
Grubs light brown at first. becoming
dark brown at an advanced stage oi
the disease. A small stick thrust into
the body of such grub, when with
drawn brings with II a string of gluey
matter which may reach a length OF
an inch or more before breaking. The
cells In which are diseased grubs are
capped. the caps being sunken and
broken finally. A decided gluey odor
is given on by dead grubs. Drone and
queen grubs are lsss subject to the
disease than those of workers.
European foul Brood.
The grubs are attacked at an earlier
stage than In American Foul Brood,
and those attacked become restless,
and are marked with a yellow spot
near the head end. They become en-
tirely yellow later, and then brown,
nnally black. The substance Of the
dead bodies Is less gluey than In those

destroyed By American Foul Brood,
and does not commonly draw out in
long threads. The cells containing
diseased grubs are rarely capped.
The odor from dead srGos is common
" not very noticeable. Roth drone
and queen grubs are attacked.
Treatment For Disease.
Experience shows that foul brood
may be suppressed, at least for time,
by the simple practice OF removing
The bees to a clean hive in the frames
Of which are narrow strips OF founda-
ton. II all the brood is not out OF
the cells at the time, II can be brush
ed before the new hive later, or can
be kept I'm colony reserved for the
purpose until II emerges.
The infected combs should be de-
stroyed (rendered) by heat, II neces-
sary by burning, and the hive should
be thoroughly drenched, after scraping
away all propolis and comb, inside and
out, with a two per cent solution Of
formalin. Any honey present should
be boiled thoroughly, or destroyed.
The frames may we'll be burned. All
tools used should be carefully disin-
fected with. formalin before using
them on other hives. Those engaged
in inspecting colonies can not be too
careful about these matters when 60
ing from one colony to another.
Queens Nav Be Medium.
There is some difference OF opinion
among those who study bee diseases
as to the possibility OF conveying foul
brood by means of bought queens.
Many practical beekeepers and queen
rearers claim that these diseases are
never so conveyed. People who have
bought queens sometimes claim that
they have introduced the disease in
this way. The fact appears to be that
they are not commonly conveyed by
means of queens. and the postoffice
regulations bearing upon the matter
imply that IL the candy used in the
cages in which the queens are ship
ped is boiled, queens do not convey
foul brood even when taken from in
fected colonies.
The subject must be regarded as
open for discussion" however.
Pickle BROOD" and some other OBJ
scure diseases are not at present we'll
enough understood to warrant any
very positive statements concerning
them.
Note.-A State Beekeepers' Associa-
tion, organized at the University, Jan.
uary 3, 1914, has for one Of its opjects
the control of the spread Of foul brood
in Kentucky. Those interested in this
and other matters relating to beekeep-
ing should join. Section vi OF the
Constitution adopted reads: ANY per-
sons interested in beekeeping may be
come an active member Of the Asso-
citation by paying the annual dues of

The best-knowr enemy Of the Honey
Bee is the Bee Moth, an obscure insect
that has probably been in this country
ever since bees were introduced. 1t
seems to have been a serious pest in
the early days when box hives and bee
gums were the only means Of keeping
colonies. Since the movable-frame
hive came into use there has been less
trouble in keeping. colopies free, and
as matter of fact good colonies OF
Italians, or Carniolans, when properly
cared for, are not troubled by this
pest. The common black bee is more
subject to injury, but even blacks in
movableframe hives, and kept strong,
need not he seriously harmed by the
moth. ~.
Combating the Moth.
The bee moth will make trouble in
weak colonies, and any exposed comb,
stored in hives, or elsewhere, is pretty
sure to invite attack and to be uld.
mately ruined. Such comb should al
ways be kept in screened quarters so
that the adult moths can not get to
the comb to lay their eggs. Once in
comb the young moth should be cut
out and destroyed and the comb
fumigated with hydrocyanic acid gas
or burning sulphur. Bisulnd OF car
bon, sometimes used to fumigate
combs, leaves an odor for a time that
may prove Objectionable to the bees,
II the comb is used at once.

contains a manifesto to the German
nation by General Stein of the German
general staff in which the public is
cautioned against believing any state
ment except those given out by the
general staff. 1t says:
In England and France falsehoods
are being spread broadcast.
You Germans have too much faith
in your government to accept rumors
too easily.
The English accuse us of having
suggested partition with Holland in
exchange for her neutrality. Such
charges are beneath contempt and
demonstrate the righteousness of our
cause and the wickedness of our enem-
les.
You Germans also are spreading
rumors of victories and defeats such
as the German occupation of Belfort
and the destruction of French regi-
ments wholesale.
Everything will be published at the
proper time and we have given our
word that nothing shall be IXaggerat-
ed and nothing minimized.
Few except those who are expert
enced in warfare can know or show
with what difficulty victories are won"

Americans from Berlin arrived at the
station at Amsterdam during the
night Some hundreds were sheltered

ceeded to The Hague and Rotterdam
where arrangements are being made
Tor ships to take them home.
Many of the Americans warmly
praised the treatment which they had
in Berlin. When they were leaving
the German capital the American
consulate, the railway station and the
carriages which carried them to the
railway station were profusely dec
oratedly with flowers The din
ing cars of their trains were abun-
dainty stored with food. Many of the
refugees had lived in Germany for
years and are now returning to the
United States because serious difficul-
ties would confront them if they re-
NAMED in Germany. 1t is expected
that about 25'OOO Americans will leave
that country.
