"Here are countless millions of tons Of

Of nature to a condition ready for the appli-
cation of the hydraulic process, while the

Native or Black Bees.

The native bees of this country
hold their own as to their existence
well. While for quite number of
years every one engaged in active
Bookkeeping has done everything in
his power to completely destroy this
race, yet there seems to be plenty of
them yet. One would suppose that
with the amount of Italian bees there
chance they have to Italianize the
native blacks, that they would be
very nearly run out. 1t seems that
to give them an equal chance, the
blacks and the Italians, the black
would swallow up the whole Italian
race and finally reign supreme.
If the Italian bee is of harder
race than the black bees, why would
this seem so? We might locate in
the most remote place we can find,
and in localities where no bees of any
kind could have possibly made a liv-
ing in past years, and one would con-
clude that no black bees could have
been in such places, yet when we
are sure that every queen we raise
will be purely mated, and not
hybrid appear to mar our peace, to
our great disappointment and sur
prise, the old blood turns up, and in
Quantities to convince us that we
have the blacks in our midst. 1t
would look as if the old black bees
are more tenacious of life and exist
ence than we have taken them to be.
the Italian bees which have been i'm
ported into this country in great
numbers contain a sprinkle of the
black or German blood before COM
ing to this country, and they did con-
tain more or less of it, and degene-
rate rapidly back to the same.
1t does not seem that we are very
soon to have absolute purity in our
stock of bees, and it seems to us that
there are about as many black bees
in the country now as there were
several years ago, as it is just as
hard to keep an apiary clear of them
now as it has been for some time
past. Not a single apiarist breeds
them, that we have on record, or
tries to maintain the stock.-A. II.

in restoring the rapidly disappear

Alfalfa Should Not be Pastured.

On many of the ranches along the
Sacramento river foxtail grass is
running the alfalfa and making it
valueless as feed and pasture. Stock
will not eat this grass, while the
alfalfa is continuously cropped close
to the ground and in course of time
the foxtail chokes out the alfalfa
entirely. When this grass is mixed
with any other feed it's boards work
their way into the stocks eyes and
glands and in many instances in
iures the stock permanently. 1t
often blinds hogs.
1t is generally argued that alfalfa
should be moved and fed to stock
instead of pasturing it and the con-
ditions referred to prove the correct
ness of this theory.-Sutter Far
nler.
This is what the "Sun" has been
preaching for years. When there
has been a good stand obtained,
enough pains should be taken to
keep the weeds and toxtail out. To
do this no pasturing should be done,
especially in the early part of the
season when the weeds are gro wing.
1t is self evident that if the stock eats
the alfalfa and leaves the weeds the
latter will get the advantage of the
former. 1t will pay to cut the grass
and feed it green if desired. 1t pays
to exercise the intellect on any of
the affairs of life.-Colusa Sun.

says in recent number of the Con-
sentative that every twenty-tour
hours the consumption of wood in
one form or another in this country
equals all that can be produced on
$4,000 acres, and that the new acer-
age planted every day does not ex-
coed twenty-five acres. On that

Eight Passenger Trains.

Railroad activity at the local
station Thursday morning was
very pronounced, and there were
many anxious inquiries by travellers
as to the name, population, condi-
tions and future prospects OF the
metropolis they supposed them
selves to be in. There were eight
passenger trains lined up in the
local yards about 9 o'clock, and
the anxious inquirer from the ef-
fete east was informed that it was
a daily occurrence in this portion
of the wild and woolly west After
a trip through Kansas the stranger
from the east is in a condition to
believe almost any old fairy tale
of the west, and as consequence
La Junta will be advertised by
several hundred people as thriv.
ing railroad center, second only to
Chicago and Kansas City.

Coal Demand Enormous.

The increased coal business
which the Santa Fe is doing is
noteworthy. Recently about 1900
cars were purchased at Leaven-
worth for use along the lines Of
the system. Within the last two
years the demand for coal has in.
creased at least SO per cent, and
there never was so much demand
for it as now. G. w. Closson,
fuel contractor, says this is due to
the enormous increase of business
done by the road. The heavy
shipments OF fuel westward was
caused by the scarcity resulting
from the strike OF miners in Colo
RADIO and New Mexico. At present
much Of the coal consumed by the
Santa Fe in the west comes from
Illinois, Missouri and Kansas.
