Many Apiaries.
Written for
+" The Call"
By George A. Brodbeck.

A number of years ago, while yet resi-
dent of the Eastern States, we found the
subject of California Bookkeeping one OF
great interest. and when we read of the
wonderful yields and of the mystic charms
surrounding the home of this far-off land
these stories came to us as a dream by
night, and in the hours of waking we
would ask ourselves the question: Is this
truth or is it fiction? Years have passed
since then, and that which to us was as
once a dream is a reality, and life since
then has seemingly opened anew, and we,
too, have learned to know something con-
corning the experiences of California
bee-keeper. The early winter rains are
the much-hoped-for Iongings of the
bee-keeper, and when the mountains,
plains and valleys after these copious
showers have put on their best garment;
when the vari-hued spring flowers are
cropping up from every nook and corner,
with the reflected sunshine glistening on
fields of gold, and as the ocean breeze in
successive waves watts toward you the ex-
hilarating fragrance from natures own
laboratory and you listen to the Joyous
warbling OF Gods own songsters with the
happy hum OF the ever busy bee, is it surpris-
ing that such enchanting and incompre-
hensible influences result in one giving ex-
preston to the indellble impressions of
this ideal life of California bee-keepers?
"These vast mountain ranges with their
hills and valleys are destined to be the
perpetual home of the bee-keeper, for no.
where in this vast land is there q section
so especially adapted to the wants and ne
cessities of this industry as we find here in
California. In the early history of bee
keeping in this State apiaries were located
where we now find the home of the orange
and lemon, and gradually as the soil was
taken up and cultivated, thereby destroy
ing forever the necessary bee forage, the
e-keeper was forced back to the noun
tains ana foothills, but even this has re-
suited in lasting benefit, so that the estab-
lishment of an apiary at present is laying
the foundation for an inheritance for fu-
ture generations, which has been so
strikingly illustrated in the location of the
famous Sespe apiary.
We admit that not all apiarles are 80
fortunately situated, and the consequent
hardships entailed upon his family, if he
has one. in the isolated location, distant
from city and railway and in some in
stances many miles from any neighbors,
and this with some destroys all charm or
novelty of their surroundings, but with
the majority of bee-keepers this is but tenn
porary, so when the time comes for going
to the apiary we count it but spring out
ing, and with the busy hours and days
that follow no one but those who have en-
ioyed such an experience can imagine how
rapidly time flies, and before we seem to
realize it the season is ended and we are
on our return home, feeling refreshed both
in soul, mind and pocketbook.
We have great number who combine
fruit-growing with honey production, and
this class remain on their location per-
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-25

manently, and when the off years in the
production of honey do come, and some
years are off years, even in California,
their fruit product tides them over, so we
find that Bookkeeping as the sole means OF
subsistence even in California is an excep-
ton rather than the rule, and as wise
man will build on sure foundation we
consider this the wise mans plan. The
bee-keeper's difficulties in the past have
been lnnumerable, but the peculiar adap-
liability to circumstances has not been ex-
empt in bee-keeping, and the result has
often been a source of disappointment to
some of our Eastern brethren when they
come in contact with some of the
misit and unseemly apiaries, due to
the varied dimensions of the hives
and fixtures. But with the advent of hive
factories and bee supply houses OF late
years these "reminiscences of pioneer bee
keeping are fast disappearing, and we look
forward to the time when California bee
keeping will have reached the highest
point attainable. The one great factor in
this evolution of past methods has been
the influence exerted by the State Bee
keepers Association, the establishment OF
which has resulted in the organization of
district, county ard local associations in
various parts of the State. The greatest
difficulty that confronts the California
bee-keepers to-day is the marketing of their
own product, and the season just passed
has demonstrated the absolute necessity of
the beekeepers joining. issue in marketing
their product under their own supervision.
California is the greatest honey-pro-

CHRISTMAS QUOTATIONS.
One Is Enriched by Sowing Seeds
of Love.

"
Is there any Encouragement in the
thought that all the good wishes and bless
lngs that are scattered broadcast during
the holidays apparently count for very
little after all; that. in spite of all the peace
and good will that is printed and written,
said. sung ana thought, the world wags on
its own way very much as usual? What
has all the Christmas-carded love and we'll
wishing amounted to? Has it ever once
helped or healed real need Of humanity
Why, just its bulk alone ought to have
been sufficient to turn the tide of wrong
itself. But it hasn't, not even for brief
period. Christmas after Christmas has
sailed past with its glowing gracious
cargo. and yet the black current under
meath is just as before.
Hunger and tears, evil and ugliness are,
to outward appearances, as they always
were, and such drop-in-the bucket results
are not consoling. But when these redec-
tons come one must realize the other not
always obvious side of the question. One
drop of sweetness in the bucket is better
than all the drops being bitter; one ray of
light is not quite the same as inky dark
ness. And above all, one should remem-
Der the good to ones self. 1t may be that
much of the love and sympathy has missed
its mark, has failed of that which it might
have done. But it has never failed to help
the one from whom it comes. The seed
may have fallen on barren soil, but the
hand that sowed it has been enriched and
ennobled,

The GRIP AND BUSTLE.
The Obnoxious Twain Are En- Route
70 America

Two foes to humanity's peace and COM
fort are announced as on their way to
America from the Old World-the grip
and the hustle. They will be equally un-
welcome, but there their likeness ends.
The grip would always be unweIcome
under any and all circumstances. The
hustle is chiefly obnoxious because of its
appearances and disappearance; if it were
a fixed, Interchangeable article of attire it
would at least be regarded with resigna-
ton. This could never be true of grip.
No matter how normal a phase of exist
ence grip might become. it couldn't be-
come popular, as before very many days
there would be no one for it to be popular
with. Again, the grip is no respecter of
persons, while the hustle devotes itself
wholly to womankind.
The hustle, however. is the more to be
dreaded. Grip is merely temporary ILL
ness, to recover or to die from. The hustle

is STEADY company" It means more
clothes to carry. more avoirdupois to
weigh one down, more last years gowns
to throw away. The high priests of fash
ion may say what they will. but the high
priests OF hygiene must forever denounce
any article that will add another ounce to
woman's wearing apparel. The hustle
does not increase the warmth. the comfort
or the convenience of costume, and, be-
sides these, what is there to consider
Beauty? Well, if the hustle enhances
beauty, why is it that for SO many seasons
women have been able to do without it ?
All over the country wise men are dill
gently studying some way to circumvent
and elude the unwelcome visitor, the grip.
wise women would do well likewise to
seek to get the better of the other unwel-
come visitor, the hustle.
