Not illustrated. 1920 Excerpt: ...so on as high as you wish to go. We believe the success of the treatment lies in confining the gases as long as possible, and giving each set of combs the same strength dose, which cannot be done in pilinq; up bodies 6, 8. or 10 high, with perhaps open joints at each body, as is the case if the edges are not scraped of propolis and made to fit and the carbon disulphide on top of these piles. The fumes of the drug are very heavy, and will settle to the bottom of the pile quickly, which gives the upper stories a poor chance of being treated as thoroughly as they should, while the bottom ones may, or may not, be treated sufficiently. In treating combs by this method for 10 years, combs that developed millers could be seen, along with worms from the size that could scarcely be seen with the naked eys, to those almost ready to spin cocoons, also combs wet from the extractor that had as yet shown no signs of moths, that it would hardlv be possible that "all eggs were hatched before treatment." We never think of looking at a set of combs after treating until we wish to us 3 them, if it is not in a year or two, and we have never seen the works of moths in any combs treated. Of course we keep them covered tight after treatment, which is necessary that more millers do not get in and start up another crop. We took down a pile of combs this season that were drawn in 1913, which were never used or treated since they were piled up, and they were in perfect condition. Soir.etimes, some little thing is the turning int to success, or failure. By W. S. Pangburn. We have used carbon disulphide for years for fumigating both comb-honey and combs.
