Spraying fruit trees when not in bloom is no doubt a very desirable thing. Last week, on page 39, we noted the action of the London authorities on American apples. They were in error as to the effect of spraying apple trees with London purple to prevent ravages of the codling moth or apple worm. This is well illustrated by the experience of Mr. Lupton, of Virginia, as stated in a recent issue of Insect Life. The work of spraying was undertaken in Mr. Lupton's orchard, but was discontinued when less than one-third of the trees had been sprayed. From these trees 1,000 barrels of apples, nearly free from worms, were gathered; while from the remaining two-thirds of the orchard, only 883 barrels of sound fruit were obtained; quite one-fifth of the apples from the unsprayed trees being wormy, and unfit for use. Mr. Lupton

estimates that his returns from the orchard would have been increased $2,500, had all the trees been sprayed.

We are sorry to learn that the Rev. S. Roese is quite ill with "chills and fever," accompanied with La Grippe. In fact, the indispositions are so general, that it is quite difficult to state who are among those in perfect health. The present "cold snap" will probably stop for a time the fearful ravages of that Russian plague.

The Canadian Bee Journal says farming for years has not paid as well in proportion to the amount invested as bee-keeping. That may be true in some localities, but in others the opposite is true. North America is a large continent, and its climate and atmospheric conditions are varied. While some few report large crops of honey, the great majority reported almost an entire failure.

If Bees were not of great value they would not have been provided with the sting.-Iowa Homestead.

Ohio.-The State Convention is to be held in Cincinnati next month, and we hope that there will be a large attendance. Concerning the arrangements, Mr. Muth writes as follows:

The Ohio State Bee-Keepers' Associa tion will meet at the West Cincinnati Turner Hall, on Feb. 10, 1892, at 10 a.m., and will continue until Friday, Feb. 12. I shall make the best arrangements I can for reduced fares with the railroads leading to our city, and also with a number of hotels for reduced rates. I will report at the beginning of next week. I have invited a number of bee-keepers in Kentucky and Indiana, to lend us their aid, and I now give a hearty invitation to every lover of the pursuit to meet with us. We shall endeavor to make the time for our friends as pleasant in Cincinnati as we know how. I know that this is a short notice, but other business required my absence from home most of the time during the Fall and Winter, and I had to leave the burden of arrangements to my friend, Mr. Morris, the Secretary of the association. CHAS. F. MUTH. Cincinnati, O., Jan. 4, 1892.

Here is an item which is now going "the rounds of the press," but needs confirmation:

The Reading, Pa., Hustler is responsible for the following: There was found recently near Sand Lake, by Eugene Trumper, a swarm of bees which were working in the open air and doing finely. They had nearly 4 square feet of comb, which was suspended from a 5-inch pole, about 4 feet from the ground. It was something unusual for bees to work from under cover, and has excited considerable curiosity.

A Bee-Hive grocery is the latest sensation in East Saginaw, Mich. It is kept by John Rey, and the Saginaw Globe says that " Mr. Rey carries a large stock of staple and fancy groceries, and furnishes honey at wholesale and retail." It is a sweet place, of course.
