Their Remarkable Annual Product and
Recent Growth of the Industry.
"When the story of the twelfth census
Is fully told it will show in an interes ting
way the astonishing development of the
aparian industry in the United States"
said Prof. l.. o. Howard, chief of the
Bureau of Entomology and known all
over the country as Uncle Sans "bug
man"
bee culture is practically a develop
ment of the last 40 years" he continued
although isolated individuals were en-
gagged in the work long before that time
The importance of the industry at the
present day Is not generally realized.
There are more than 100000 persons en-
gagged In the culture of bees in the United
States alone. and the present census will
show the present annual value of apiarian
products TO be in excess of $4,000, 900.
There are 10 aparisn societies. Eight
journals of some magnitude are DEVOTED
to the industry. Fifteen steam power
factories and very large number of
small factories are engaged in the pro-
duction of supplies for the bee industry.
Mr.. Benton, our bee expert, estimates
that the present existing fora of the
United States could undoubtedly support
with the same average profit ten times
the number of colonies of bees it now
supports. Think what that means. An
industry OF 5000, 600, 900 a year support
ing 5000, 900 healthy, happy workers.
This branch of agricultural industry
does not impoverish the soil in the least,
but on the contrary, results in better
seed and fruit crops. The total money
gain to the country from the prosecution
Of the bee culture would undoubtedly be
placed at several times $40, 600. 600 an
nually were we only able to estimate in
dollars and cents the result of the work
of bees in cross fertiliziug the blossoms
of fruit crops.
"The demand for American honey IS
Increasing. England is our chief buyer.
Ships sail every summer from San Fran
cisco and san Diego. Cal, and from New
\ ork and Philadelphia, carrying cargoes
of honey to the Old World. The United
States produces more honey than any
other nation. In this country the finest
honey is gathered from hives where
white clover and bass wood are accessible
In quantity it falls below that made from
golden rod and buckwheat blossoms.
From New \ ork, Pennsylvania and Yer
mont comes the greatest quantity of
comb honey, while Arizona and Calfo1-
mia furnish most Of the extracted or
liquid honey.
"Once the possibilities of the American
apiary are thoroughly understood, many
of the thousands barely existing in the
strenuous life of the great cities will turn
to bee culture, which well repays the IN
teligent ana careful WORKER New

\ Famous stud Farm Which Produces

Famous stud Farm Which Produces
Polo Ponies and Hunters.
For some reason or another, which |
have not heard satisfactorily explained,
| like Kentucky In the east and some of
the valleys of Montana, this is favora-
BILE region for breeding fast and fine
horses, and there are several large
ranches in this neighborhood, says w. f.
Curtis. writing to the Chicago Record
from Sherman, Wyo. The contractors
for cavalry horses for the British army
were here all last winter and dinin-
ished the herds by thousands.
Every body who is fond of horses will
take great interest in visiting the Canon
stud farm, where Capt. Grizzell, retired
officer of the British cavalry, raises
hunters. steeplechasers and polo ponies
for the British market. He ships about
two cars year and gets much better
prices than they would bring in this
country. Capt. Grizzell says that first
! class hunter will bring 700 guineas,
which is about $1,000 in our money. He
! has two of the most famous steeplechas-
| ing stations in the world here-Robert
| Emmett, brown horse which was hardly
eyer beaten, and DemagOgue, chestnut,
whose pedigree is about half column
| long and includes the winners of the
most important long-dstance races that
ever occurred in Engla Robert En-
met is now 30 ears old. Capt. Grizzell
has owred him since he was years old,
and has ridden him in a three mile race
himself. although he weighs $50 pounds.
Demagogue was bred by Lord Elsmer
and has been in this country only three
year
Two of Capt Grizzell's horses Ileloise
and Roulette are entered for the great
steeplechase at Morris Park, New York,
IN October. also for the Liverpool Grand
National, but IIelOise is Just now In very
bad shape. She got out of her paddock
the other day and encountered three
barbed-wre fences by which she was
dreadfuly mutlated.
Capt. Grizlell raises heavy hunters for
the particular use of ponderous noble
men in the old country whose livers are
sluggish ana who take to the saddle by
the doctors advice. They need strong
safe animals with plenty of lung power
and sound feet, and Capt. Grizzell says he
can produce such horses here better than
anywhere else because of the atmosphere
and the soil. suppose that similar CON
ditions exist in kentucky, which gives
the horses of that section their great
superiority.
Another large horse ranch Is owned by
William and Malcolm Moncreith, brothers
of Lady Dudley. one Of the famous
beauties of England.

Connecticut, but the late mown fields of
New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine
are making rapid growth \ few
meadows in those states have not been
moved because of the prevailing wet
weather.
Some have begun to cut fodder in Con-
necticut. Corn has suffered most in dis
tricts of that state. Oats and wheat are
being harvested in Maine and New
Hampshire. With few exceptions cor
respondents report corn to be excellent.
The rats of the past two weeks have
been of great benefit to the maturing
wheat and oats of the northern states.
Fruit continues to crop from trees, but
not so extensively as in the two weeks
preceding. Grapes are plentiful. Early
apples are more abundant than late
varieties; of the latter. the Baldwin is
the most promising. Blackberries are
yielding well in Massachusetts and Yer
mont. One report from Connecticut
states that the pear and peach trees are
bending and breaking beneath their
weight of fruit.
The onion crop is reported to be good
In Vermont. Tomatoes in Massachusetts
are ripening rapidly and are of a good
quality. The late rains have greatly
bene flied turnlps and celery. Late pota-
toes continue to do well, except in the
