Too often it has been the case, espec-
tally here in Kansas, that our farmers
depended too much on one or two prod.
ucts for success in farming. If we
want to reap a good harvest, one
year with another, we must plant
some of different kinds of crops, SC
that if any one should fail, we have
still left, several chances in other prod.
ucts. 1t is rather encouraging to know
that many farmers have recently de.
cided that variety farming is the way
to make our great western states bios

We have mentioned before that rails.
ing bees is a great success in Kansas
In fact, if properly managed they are
almost as sure crop as our sunfowers
and jackrabbits. But bees must be
provided with something to work with
to make their business a success the
same as other individuals. There are
many wild flowers; but this may not al.
ways be sufficient, so it is better to SOW
clover, buckwheat or some crop that
the bees can use. Bees are the most
industrious creatures in existence, but
we should be willing to give them a
fair show, if we expect them to supply
our tables with the "fat of the land"
which we so much enjoy.-Mulcane
Graphic.
Editors BranscOmbe, of the NelC
Era and Massey, of the hooking Bird
dropped into the VOICE Office at the
same time last Saturday, and from the
cold way in which they greeted each
other, our first impulse was to retire
and let them settle their pig difficulty
but it occurred to US that they had
never been introduced, so we perform
ed that act instead, and Massey was
made so happy that he fell upon
Branscombe's neck and wept.
