R. W. ItOGO & SOXS, -rJ. G. Hogg. Salem; Or., route 2, box172. Feb. 19. 1922. (R.

Ch,ina swine,; registered Angora . goats. White Rock chickens, and grp- rs . of peaches, prunes, cherries, .pples and other fruits, and bee- caepers and makers of extracted loney which they sell under their wn label.

Honey Increase. Depends -on Improved Bees. - .;. Bees should be watched Closely n February lest theyun short of Uores, says the O.AiC 'eiperiment station. If such a ehbrta&e' should lrlse, a sugar syrvlp'aay -be fed to advantage. To -prepare,' "ietlr sugar and water together-Un the ratio of two jarts of sugar'ta one part of water. - One teaspoonful of tartaric acid should bo added1 to every 20 pounds of Bugar.v The water should " be nearly bolliug when mixed, but care should be taken not to scorch the syrup in making. . Bee Feetl ng Explained The way to feed prepared susar syrup to bees, as recommended by the O.A.C. experiment station, is to pour the syrup in & frictlon-tcp bucket, punch about 40. holes In the cover of the bucket with a lath nail no larger holes should rtb made and place thef bucket, up side down, over he.framers of the hive. Cover the top of the hive with . an empty hive .body which will fit over the bucket,, and place several thicknesses of newspaper between this cover and the hive-'-.for. warmth with a hole cut ia it ;to"fIt around the j top' of, , jtho bucket. ' ' . ' . ' Increase of the horiey crop Is best obtained by Increasing he quality of the, bees and- improving the management of them rather than by increasing the number of colonies.

By, a box-hive I j mean a hive whose frames are immovable and cannot be examined. Generally it is an old grocery box or nail keg.i, Often, however, the owner hag, gone to,the expense of paying two or three dollars o some nee supply dealer for ;an up-to-date hive, j but did ' not pay the extra dollar which is the "most impor tant, for wire and foundation to equip the frames I of his hive; with .the result ! of having the bees build their comb every which way in the hive, and is but very little better than the old grocery box or nail keg. Neglected Bees, a. Menace These neglected 'apiaries, con sisting of from one to ten or fif teen 'colonies each, contract bee diseases sooner than a well kept tplary, because the bees are not of a well bred resisting strain.'

I Aristotle. Cato, Varro,' Col--umbella, Palladius all studied the bees, r Aristomacnus, ;j according to Pliny, watched them foy . fifty tight years. " ' ' ,;:' -'y - Palestine v was known teV jthe Isrealitos as the, land of -rallk and honey.' - '.- ' j Honey is spoken of at least a dozen tmes In the Bible. v j But r the x real history of the bee dates from the seventeenth century, with the discoveries j ot the great Dutch , savant Swam merdam, who brought' the whole political scheme of the hive iin fo 'a most unexpected light i by basing f lt upon maternity. ; The queen had theretofore been ire garded as "a king, with the at tributes of both sexes. A? German clergyman invented the first : hive . with movable combs, thereby enabling bee keepers thereafter to take their share of the harvest' without being obliged to destroy their best colonies. . Its imperfections The Surest Way to Get Industries Is; to' Support BY F: T: peal foul brood and sacked brood. When once an apiary is at tacked by one of these diseases and is not cared for, it often re sults in the death of every col ony In the apiary, v However, the most - disastrous robbing- of this' result is the disease'-stricken apiary by the : colonies of some healthy neighboring apiary, there by transferring the disease from, one apiary to another.
