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 flowers, in Juno aud July, buckwheat that was sown in very early spring 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 COUNTY COURT Contiueed from page 5 TREASURER.

The quantity and quality of many va rieties ot fruits depend absolutely up on completo cross-pollination. The most active agents iu this work are liouey bees. The locust tree of the wood lot. yields light cokred, clear honey of fine quality and fair flavor. Thus the wood lot yitdds poatB, honey and shade for tho cattle and poultry. All the clovers yiold liouey from April to August. Cucumber, squash, pumpkin and me lion blossoms furnish liouey and some pollen iu July and August; tomatoes from April to lute 011 in the fall. Buckwheat is an important houoy and pollen producer, its blos soms appear iu about four wesks after eeed is sowu, hence it may be made to fill in a summer deartli of honey plants. Buckwlieat has three values when sown in ihg, orclmrd (iu drills ouu foot apart so as to till it) : feed for the be.is, and poultry and humus for the orchard soil; rape, two values, honey and Peed, feed for tl e poultry.

Work with one who knows how to handle them. One or two lessons is quite sufficient to enable anyoue to manage the simpler part of bee keeping. ."' 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 mpp'iod w,ith fairly thioksvrup, made from wli t cuno sugar, which is fed der ng the tutuine while the bhis pi 111s aie uluitiful.

Tne sj-riip is prepared by dissolving three pounds ot grauul.ited cane sunar in 1 no quart of boiling water and nddiug to this one pound of pure extracted honey, r.he honey from the spriug flowers. Thus the bees may be kept at labor during tho season v lieu there is a dearth of flowers.

I.MIM..B II I I II I I I I I I I III BETWEEN A NATIONAL BANK OF PORTLAND, OREGON And the UNION PACIFIC LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 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.

Market value of its capital stock on the basis of dividends earned and paid in cash each year on basis of 5 per cent, interest earnings will equal to $600 per share or GOO per cent, above par. UNION PACIFIC LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY The Union Pacific Life Insurance Company of Portland, Oregon, will have Capital Stock, - - $200,000 Surplus, - 400,000 Capital and Surplus - $600,000 Taking the above figures as a basis of calculation, market value of capital stock on basis of capital and surplus (par value $100) equal $300 per share. The average annual cash dividend earned and paid by the ten leading life insurance companies for the pnst 25 3'ears amounts to 50 per cent, on the par value of the 'stock. Market value of stock on basis of dividends earned by- the ten leading life companies on basis of 5 per cent, interest earnings would be equal to $1000, per share or 1000 per cent, above par. ' 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.
