CHAPTER XII. Boos; Their Val
ue to the Fruits of the Furm.
Toe fruit treos and the1 vine must
have the bees in order to help fertilize
thermit; it is one of the greatest
items in secessful farming of fruits,
had not a kind providence supplied
the iKnoraut and cnreloas furruer with
honey gathering insects-, wo would
not tare as well as we do we would
be barren of many of our fruits. Look
about you and see the bees at work ;
note the honey secretions of Mowers.
For what real purpose? To entice the
insects, the beos, to gather pollen on
their bodios, carrying it to other
flowers in ordor to fertilize) the bloom
of the fruit trees and vinos. This
value alone should cause every farmer
to look about him, wisely, uud note
this important item in farming. It is
safe to say that any place where farm
ing, gardening, or fiuit raising can be
successfully followed is adapted to
the profitable keeping of bees in a
limited way at least, if not extensive
ly. Many localities will support
many colonies of bees, in spring,
April and May th gard u and orchard

for green fertilizing aud clearing the
soil from soil diseases, the sweet or
white clover, rape (for green manur
ing) yield much honey. Kapa sown
Into in the full will blossom the next
April and May ; sown in srping blos
soms in June. Its sweets are an ex
cellent stimulus for brood rearing.
Bird rape grown iu the orchard for the
poultry yields an abundant amount of
seeds, and blossoms about a month
after sowing, yielding mucli honey
for the bees. It does best in spring
and fall, tlio coolor part of the grow
ing season. Thus a twofold value is
realized honey and poultry food.
Russian vetch is a hardy leguminous
plaut. of great value for forage and for
green manuring. The blossoms ap
pear early iu tho season," aud where
there is any lack in early pollen, es
pecially iu northern and cool regions
this vetch will be found of great val
ue to the hoes.
Apple, peach, plum, currant, goose
berries, strawberries, blackberries all
yield honey in a more or less degree.
The value of bees in the pollenation
of various fruits aud seed ctous is
tnflicinut reason to warrant tho keep
ing of a small apiary, even if oircuin

."' Th1 wintering of bees iu the colder
part of the United States and Canada
may give anxiety to all who are about
to attempt it for the first timp; but
you can make a success of it from the
first. Build your bee house iu the ga
ble of the kitchen or wood shed, so as
to be dry and protected. Plant a hop
vine, better an ivy vine, at both cor-
n -rs of the house and shade the wall
and roof. Did you not know that the
roof will not rot as quickly when
these vines ?row upon it? Such is the
fact. Whatever method be followed
in wintering, certain conditions re
garding the colony itself are plainly
essential: First, it should have a
good queen; teoond, a fair sized clus
ter of healtl y bees, neither tco old
nor too young; third, a plentiful sap
ply of good fond.' The latter can be

SAFETY
In Every investment there are. two con
siderations Safety and profit.
The most important is safety; no one
is justified in putting money into any
enterprise unless it can be shown that
the money so invested is practically in
sured against loss.
To place funda in a concern of any
other character is speculation.
The capital stock of the UNICW PA
CIFIC LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANY is an absolutely safe investment.
I n considering this investment offer,
therefore the following should be kept
in mind:
First that immense fortunes liave
been ami are being made in life insur
ance the most profitable of all forms
of legitimate business.
Second That there is a growing sen
timent towards the upbuilding of home
institutions of every kind, and especially
in regard to life insurance.
'i bird That the Union Pacific Life
Insurance Company stock is absolutely
safe under the legal reserve laws, and
will grow more rapidly in value than any
other stock available.
Fourth That by securing stock in the
Union Pacific Life Insurance Company
you have the opportunity of personally
and effectively promoting the business
of a company in which you are interest
ed, and thus adding to your profits, and
tho value of your holdings.
rofit
On account of the high percentage of'
success, a n d because the profits are
greater than in any other business, there
is no better investment than that in
a nourishing life insurance company.
Life insurance, companies have, there
fore bceu practically financed, with the
result that the enormous profits which
they have made, aud are making, remain
in a few bauds.
The plan of the Uniou Pacific Life In
surance Company in distributing its cap
ital stock in a way by which it. not only
offers a remarkable opportunity for in
vestment, but at the same time, puts in
to effect a successful method of securing
the co-operation of its stockholders in the
upbuilding of the company, affords an
opportunity which will be quickly seen
and accepted.

companies on basis of 5 per cent, interest earnings would be equal to $1000, per

The security of a life insurance company is many times greater than any
national bank, because the laws of Oregon limit the insurance company to inves
ting its assets in first mortgages on improved real estats of double the actual
value of the amount loaned,while National Banks must loan its funds on. coni
meroia1. paper without security.
The fact that the securities in which the insurance companies can invest are restricted
by the laws of the state to high-grade securities, and the insurance department of each
state in which we do business supervises the operation, certainly surrounds the investor
with a safeguard that he could not possibly get with many classes of investments.
While every other stock was depreciated during the last panic, not a, single share of
stock in a life insurance company depreciated in value the fraction f a dollar.
On the contrary, it has been more forcibly brought to the attention of the' investing
public that the value of life insurance stock is more scable than the value of any other
stocks on the market. The same firni'and influctuating value of life insurance stocks has
obtained during every panic this country has ever had. This cannot be said of any other
kind of stocks.
