BEES THBXVE HT WASHINGTON.
0 nay Little Ineccta Bring; In Goodly
Iievenne Each Year.
Charles W. Sager, the hoe king of
central Washington, .has succeeded In
making a record In his npinry that will
attract the attention of all those Inter
ested In honey-mnklng, nays the Seattle
Times. At his much near Iielma, Sa
ger hns upward of 8,R0.0)0 bees.
Speaking of his experience In bee cul
ture In this locality recently, he hud the
following to say:
"When I came to this country four
years ago the few people here who had
bees told me two supers to a colony
woulc1 be all any would gather. That
year I lost much because I wns not
prepared with supers and the bees hud
no room to store what they could gath
er. In 1005 I had ninety colonies In
the spring. During the season they
produced 8,0."0 pounds of honey 2.8fi0
pounds extracted honey and 6,000
pounds comb honey, an average of nine
ty and a half pounds to the colony.
"The best colony produced 190
pounds. The lowest gathered fifty-six
pounds. In 1900 they did somewhat
better. I began the season with eighty
six colonies, from which I took 8.8G8
pounds, or 103 pounds to the colony.
The gathering this year will be only
about half a crop. This condition, how
ever, seems to he general.
"In a good year the bees can gather
honey quickly and consequently It la
very clear. Comb honey usually whole
sales for 12t cents a pound, and the
extracted product for 8 1-3 cents. At
this price the colony making 190 pounds
would produce $24.50 worth of honey.
The principal advantage of extract
ing the honey Is that It leaves the comb
ready for the bees to refill, thus sav
ing the time required to build new
combs. Also the freight on extracted
honey Is only about half what It Is on
comb honey. Bee authorities contend
that bees will produce one and a half
pounds of extracted honey to one of
comb honey. Alfalfa makes the clear
est and very best honey. Each variety
of bloom makes a different colored and
flavored honey.
"This country Is much better thai,
the average for honey because of the
great quantity of alfalfa raised. How
ever, the ranchers are cutting their
grass so soon after the bloom arrives
that the bees do not have the opportun
ity they could If It were left standing
a few weeks longer.
"During the working season the aver
age life of a working bee Is forty-two
days. Sixty-three das from the egg to
the grave. A good queen will lay from
2,000 to 5,000 eggs In a day. I like to
have about 90,000 bees to the colony,

int the throat, continual hawking and spitting, etc., would seem to lndi
cat t ; it is a Hood disease iu which the entire circulation and the greater

of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Boweb frequently be

This is taken up l-y the Hood and through its circulatba distributed to all
parts of the eystera. These impurities in the blood irritate and inflama
the different ncinbrancs and tissues of the body, and the contracting
of tv cold will start the secretions aud other disgusting and disagreeabla
symptoms of Catarrh. A3 the blood goes to all part3 cf the body the ca
