MONEY IN BEES.
The Apiary one of the Most Promising In
dustries of This Valley,

The Apiary one of the Most Promising In
dustries of This valley,
1t has often been asserted that
there is more money in bee cul-
ture in this valley, for the amount
of capital invested than any other
enterprise. We do net hesitate to
say that there is five times as much.
For instance we will cite the ex-
perience of Barney Palm, of this
place, during the present season.
Last fall he started in with one
stand of bees, in cracker box.
Now he has eighty stands in the
latest improved hives.
Last week he took from these
about 1000 pounds Of the finest
Favored honey, which will sell in
Chicago in the comb at Ia cents
per pound. Mr.. Palm saws that
by fall he will take ont at least
5000 pounds, which, deducting the
freight will make his returns from
the 80 stsnds for one season $500.
One man can attend 10 800 stands
OF bees if he has everything con-
venient for their care which will
make his income each year nearIy
s2ooo with no outlay 10 speak Of
except his own labor.
This VIII more than equal the
income from well titled farm of
80 acres which requires several
men and teams, besides great
deal of farm machinery to run il.
Those who imagine that the bee
business is failure will be able to
obtain an object lesson in Mr..
PALMS apiary.

BRAND RECORDING.
OfInterest and Importance to Every Cat
t1eman In Arizona.

/
1t is of the greatest importanc,
to cattlemen Of Arizona that the,
should know of the provisions o
the late law with reference to brand
recording, and after knowing thu
provisions, proceed without unnec
essary delay to comply with the
law.
The new law makes it compul
sorry that ali brands be recorded in
the office Of the Live Stock SAM.
tary Board instead of with the
county recorders of the several
counties, which county record
books have been done away with
in so far as they constitute a pub
lie record.
Those who had their brands on
county record will request the
county recorder, either in person
or by letter, to make out certif-
cate of such brands on blanks furn-
ished the recorders. For this they
pay q fee of rs cents to the record
er. The certificate is signed bv
the owner Of the brand or his
agent, as the case may be, after
which it is sent to the Office of the
secretary of the Sanitary Board at
Phoenix. 1t should be understood
in this connection that no brand or
mark shall be changed after the
certificate has been signed by the
recorder, and his seal affixed.
Such changes can be made, but on
another blank which will be fur
nished by the secretary on request.
All brands which have niver
been recorded heretofore will have
to go to public record under the
present law, and, for which purpose
blanks will be furnished by the
Secretary. This referes to horses
as well as cattle; if you have ten
different brands on your ranch,
you should have them recorded if
you desire to be secured in the use
of the brand. 1t is an erroneous
idea that only the brand kept up
need be placed on record.
If you have other brands, and
which from your failing to record,
do not appear on such record as
taken by anyone, the same will be
allowed to the first applicant who
may apply for such brand, in which
case it might work to the serious
disadvantage of the first or original
owner of cattle in such brand.

bitches which will make the total
several times this amount. This
gives ample water to assure crops
for about $4,000 acres. When the
Enterprise canal is finished it will
water several thousand acres of
rich table and bottom land. 1t
has been estimated that a quarter
of million acres of additional land
could be irrigated if storage dams
we're built. This could be done
in several places, notably at the

ESTABLISHED FACTS.

Concerning Graham County, Which ar
Well Worth Serious Consideration
| by those Seeking new Homes. or Mel
Seeking Profitable Investment TO
Capital.
The agricultural resources of th'
ella valley are both varid and ex
tensive, comprising an area o
arabic land of which there is a
present tributary to canals and
bitches, 10000 acres which il
capable of being irrigated. The
principal products are alfalfa, wheat
corn, barley, oats, vegetables, de
|cidious andcertain classes of citrus
fruits. ea
This is the natural home Of
alfalfa, of which from A to 5 crops
are grown yearly, yielding from s
to 8 tons per iacre. 1t is not as
|istocky as that which comes from
the Salt River valley and is pre-
ferable for either horses or cattle.
Wheat, barley and oats grow
prolifcIy, the former containing a
very large amount of nutrition.
Yellow dent, white gourd and
other large varieties Of corn yield
productivity, vegetables are large
and solid and come to maturity
two months earlier than in the
eastern and middle states.
The valley and Hill lands are
adapted to all of the products of
the temporal zone, and many of
the fruits of the semi-tropical
countries. The apples equal in
size and flavor the prize winners
of the eastern states. The seed
ling fruits are unexcelled in size
and general excellence. Apricots
and apples both grow with a sur
prising rapidity. The peaches in
and taste are identical
with those which come from the
famous orchards of New Jersey.
Canagrie grows wild, some of
the tubers being as large as good
sized potatoes. Tests now show
that canagrie root, which flourish.

ton of the valley, contains a large

Farming lands can be purchased
at from $50 to 500 per acre, in
Guiding improvements and water

Uncultivated land without water
right is free to any settler under
the United States homestead law. |
This class of farms will eventually |
become valuable when the canal |
facilities have been increased.
