DAUPHIN BEES IN
VERY GOOD SHAPE
Result of State Inspection Gratify
ing to the State Officials in
Charge of It
State inspection of apiaries in Dau
phin and Lebanon counties has not
developed any diseased hives and hut
one infected in Cumberland. The
work has been under way all summer
and it is believed excellent results will
be obtained. Dr. H. A. Surface, the
State zoologist, who organized the
service in the face of considerable dis
couragements, has had the aid of a
number of men who volunteered their
services. ■
Two years ago last winter SSOO per
year was made available for the apiary
inspection service and the Secretary of
Agriculture placed the bee inspection
work in the hands of Zoologist Sur
face. The latter instructed men in the
methods of Inspecting bees and curing
bfcc diseases and had inspections made
in various parts of the State by George
H. Rea, Reynoldsville. Jefferson coun
ty; John O. Buseman, of German
town, and Franklin G. Fox. Pipers
ville, Bucks The necessity for
this inspection was shown in the fact
that it was well known that two dis
eases. known as the American foul
brood and European foul brood, were
playing havoc with bees in certain
parts of Pennsylvania. The disease
germs are carried in the honey and
kill the brood or young bees making
it die and decay and become very
ofiensive. From that comes the name
of foul brood for these diseases.
The Counties Aflfwted
One or both of these diseases had
already been found to a greater or less
extent in each of the counties of Bed
ford. Berks. Blair, Bradford, Bucks,
Butler. Cambria. Center, Chester; Clin
ton. Clearfield. Clarion. Columbia,
Crawford. Delaware. Elk, Erie, Hunt
ingdon. Indiana, Jefferson, Lacka
wanna. Lancaster, Lawrence. Luzerne.
Lycoming. McKean, Mercer, Monroe.
Montgomery, Montour. Northumber
land, Philadelphia, Potter. Schuylkill,
Susquehanna, Union. Venango, Wash
ington. Wayne. Westmoreland and
Wyoming counties. Subsequent in
spections have shown the diseases in
other counties, such as Cumberland,
Juniata and Mifflin.
During the last year, with only SSOO
available, the inspectors inspected a
total of 10,750 colonies. Of these they
found 873 infected. 47 were so badly
diseased that they were destroyed.
Wax worms, ants, bee paralysis and
pickled brood were found to be among
other enemies of the bee. European
foul brood was found in 280 colonies
and _American foul brood was found
in 672. In 416 hives the bees were
found recently killed by these dis
eases and in thousands of others they
had died of some kind of an attack.
Three hundred and eighty-six colonies
were treated by the inspectors and of
these 236 were definitely reported as
cured, while of the others there was no
subsequent report of the results of
treatment excepting one. from which it
was reported that the disease had re
appeared.
The Local Work
During the present summer Mr. Rea
has been inspecting thoroughly in the
counties of Dauphin. Lebanon. Cum
berland and Perry, and while he has
inspected thousands of hives of bees
he has not found any bee diseases in
Dntiphin and Lebanon, and has found
but one fase of foul brood in Cumber
land county. This was in Carlisle.
Treatment was given at once and it
was believed it was eradicated. In the
western part of Perry county, however,
and in Juniata the diseases were lo
cated in virulent outbreak, and it is
believed that this was a portion of the
Huntingdon and Blair county field that
was found so destructive last vear.
Although it is known that the disease
is gradually spreading, it is believed
to be possible to keep it in check by
teaching beekeepers how to detect its
presence and what to do for it.
When it is remembered that the
number of apiaries in Pennsylvania
reaches at least 50,000, with an aver
age of at least three hives to each
apiary, it can be seen that there are
not less than 150.000 hives of bees in
this State, which, with their other
fixtures, are worth over a million dol
lars. and the value of honey directly
annually produced has been recently
estimated at a million dollars, beside
the of bees in fruit production,
eo that the inspection work for detect
ing and eradicating the diseases of
the little busy bee Is of considerable
importance and value to Pennsylvania
farmers and to fruit growers.
Beekeepers Help
The Pennsylvania State Beekeepers'
Association, of which Dr. Surface was
the first president, and re-elected an
nually. with one exception, during the
past fourteen years. Is the largest State
beekeepers' association In the United
States and is affiliated with a branch
of the National Beekeepers' Associa
tion. It is active in heloing to secure
legislation and enforcement of the
laWs and ifl promoting the work of the
bee inspectors and Jn doing everything
possible to place beekeeping unon a
better footing in this Commonwealth.
Details of the reports of the inspectors
will be published in the annual report
of the' Economic Zoologist of the De
partment of Agriculture, which are
made regularly to the Secretary of
Agriculture and published in the re
port of the department.

CRUDE CROSSINGS
! IRE HIRD TO GET
.
- Commissioner Ainey's Statement
Outlines What the State In
tends to Do Now
That applications for grade cross
t ings over railroads are going to be ex
t ceedingly hard to get approved was
• demonstrated this week perore the
] \ Public Service Commission when an
c j announcement of policy was made
p which v irtually amounts to notice that
. :no crossings will be allowed at grade
i [unless there are exceptionable condl
r!tlons. The commission has been mak
j Ing a study of the grade crossing
r I situation in the State with a view to
i- gradually bringing about abolition and
f | data showing the protected and un
i I protected crossings and the casualties
. , at such places has been assembled.
? i The announcement of the policy In
» j regard to the grade crossings was <
? , made by W. D. B. Ainey, the acting
■) j chairman, in a Northampton couniv
- lease and is as follows:
" i V}* a for permission to
- establish a grade crossing comes be
r; fore this commission with a neavy bur
? j den. This is not so much « policy o?
" i ?^ r as it is an acceptance of
1 j that experience which has declared all
?; grade crossings to be dangerous. Our
1 SJL urt f have decreed against them.
% The legislature has enacted laws cal
i culated to minimize the danger by
f providing for elimination and protec
r tl on. and the act creating this com
j mission has imposed upon us the duty
and clothed us with the consequent
authority in the premises, lsxperience
1 has shown that the individual is prone
s to be negligent in crossing railroads—
- he takes risks with his own tlfe and
, too frequently at least apparently,
- values it less highly than aoes the
• State of which he is a part. This
- policy is not an exclusive one —we
- niust and do recognize industrial
, localities and conditions, we must take
. into consideration extreme topo
• graphical difficulties and to r»ome ex
• *® nt the occasional element or prohl
i °L tlve ej fPense in grade separation.
I The applicant for a grade crossing per
mission must present such an excep
t tional situation as would warrant the
. commission in saying tnat the demand
for it as a public convenience, is so
great as to be more important than
t the element of danger. In the light of
safety devices which may be Installed."
i New Dodge Roadster
Follows Clay Model
! on the beautiful lines of
the new Dodge Brothers' roadster has
• brought forth the information that this
latest model of the big Detroit concern,
was first modeled in clay, after which
; patterns were made for "the regulation
■ steel bodies.
" in order to obtain the true-stream
line design, Dodge Brothers' engineers
adopted the architect and sculptor's
device of first making a model. Even
harsh line was carefully eliminated in
the clay model and when the com
pany officials finally placed their O.
[ K. on the clay body the rest was
• easy.
i „ Beyond its mere exterior, Dodge
Brothers' new roadster model is de
signed for purposes of utility. Useless
. wooden frame work was discarded in
the constructon of the car in favor of
an all steel body. Lightness, com
; bined with great strength has thuh
; been obtained, as well as far greater
baggage carrying capacity.
Enough baggage for two for a trans
( continental tour can be easily carried
. the roomy compartment at the rear
. of the car. This compartment, of
course, is proving equally useful to the
; city salesmen who are compelled to
I <*&rry samples on their daily rounds.
. The absence of the tonneau affords
. room for a relaxed position for the
two pasengers, and the seat is of com
, fortable width for two people. The
[ complete car weighs Just 2,150
pounds.
, No longer will the tyro in motoring
, have to compete with crowded cltv
, streets when learning to drive. De
. signed especially for the ladles, the
"Anchored" car is moored to one spot
■ and the varied motions or gear-shift
- ing and steering can be acquired while
, the car is stationary. Credit for the
, idea is given to Bishop, McCormick &
Bishop, Dodge Brothers' ffea»ers in

. has jacked up the rear wheels of a
touring car in their show window, and
timid women motorists who nave here
tofore avoided driving a «tr, are floek

dealers, the stunt has greatly acceler

S. P. C. A. Notes
The educative work among children
Is one of the most helpful features ot
the Harrlsburg 8. P. C. A. When a
child Is taught to be considerate of
animals the effect for good on that
child's character Is incalculable. The
boy who learns the rights of a pet dog
or cat will not make a selfish hus
band or a brutal fattier.
Certain forms of life seem to be
sure prey for boys. Among these la
the toad. Here are a few facts for
boys addicted to this form of cruelty:
The toad is-a valuable friend to the
farmer, gardener and fruit grower.
In three months a single toad will de
vour over 10,000 Insects. If every ten
of these would have done one cent of
damage the toad has saved ten dol
lars.
The toad never takes dead or mo
tionless food, its favorite diet being
worms, beetles, ants, crickets, weevils,
moths, wasps, spiders, yellow jackets,
snails, caterpillars and grasshoppers.
In twenty-four hours it eats enough
food to All Its stomach four times.
As a toad Uvea from ten to forty
years and can lay a thousand eggs a
year Its Insect-devouring life should
not be wantonly cut off for a boy's
amusement, leaving the question of
cruelty out of consideration.
From Hillsborough, Florida, has
come a letter to the Harrisburg S. P.
C. A. requesting the use of their slides
to be used in educative work in the
movies of Hillsborough county. Their
humane society has a unique card of
