fifty to sixty pounds of extracted honey
per hive. OF course, if one has only
few colonies and can devote more time to
each, much larger yields can be obtained.
Comb honey, while it brings a much
larger price, is not nearly so profitable as
the, extracted honey. 1t requires much
more labor on the part Of the bees to build
the comb than it does to fill it with
honey. In the case of the extracted honey
the same comb is filled again and again.
each colony should give at least one
good swarm year, which is worth SIS.
Many bee keepers devote much Of their
time I'd the rearing of highly-bred queen
bees for the market. This is very lucra
tive branch of beekeeping Good Italian
queens bring all the way from 81 to S.
piece and some of the large dealers sell
hundreds Of them yearly. The Italian
bees are the best workers and are least
vicious and are hence most in demand and
bring the best price.
'The great drawback to beekeeping in
this country is the length and rigor of
the winters. The hives have to be kept in
cellar or some warm, dry place and un-
der exactly the right conditions or the
apiarist may lose every hive he has in
one winter. The real field for the bee
keeper is in the southern states and espe-
cially California. There it Is one long
summer and the country abounds in wild
honey plants on every hand. There one
finds the really large bee farmer. There
are several that have over three thousand
colonies and which market their honey by
the carload !"

THE NEED OF MEN
Bishop Brooke's Sermon at St
Marks Church.

Bishop Brooke of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory preached at St. Marks yester-
day morning. He dwelt upon the great
need for men. Those possessed Of this
worlds goods were unwilling to let their
sons enter the ministry and go out upon
the western missions, nor would they al
low their daughters to marry these faith
tul workers. Many have given up good
positions in the east, however, to push
forward the work. The most perfect joy
Is that Of self denial for the cause of God
and the world. The bishop said further:
At the time that the Cherokee strip was
added, there were 125, 900 persons who settled
in the country within few hours, and SO
the growth has ever been. l will stake my
reputation as a prophet that, if in four or five
years Oklahoma attains to statehood and IS
admitted to the union, there will be at least
a million who will come in and we shall
want In addition to two senators, five or six
members of the house of representatives.
Such growing population needs your SYM
pathy and l:elp. Recently administered the
holy communion to some who had been resi-
dent in the territory for ten and some twenty
years, who saw an Episcopal clergyman for
the first time in the country. The work is
hard but encouraging, and l appeal to the
young men to come to the work of the Lord
and help us to frame the communities and
train the people, that they may he a credit to
the union and to the church Of God.

DRINKING LESS, now
An Unexpected Result of the Rural
Free Delivery.
FARMERS DON'T FLOCK TO TOWN
They Came Singly for Necessary Sup
plies and This Reduces Con-
Vivial Drinking.

James L. Sphinx, one Of the best-known
travelling men of the northwest, has just
returned from a long trip through the
country districts of Minnesota, and re-
ports the success of rural delivery along
a line that can hardly have been antici-
pated by those instrumental in establish
ing the system.
In one of the towns where Mr.. Sphinx
sold goods he overheard a saloonkeeper
discussing rural delivery and advancing
arguments why the! plan should be done
away with. The main point he made was
that 1t ruined business.
''Why!,.S said Mr. Saloorkeeper, when
men came into town every day for their
mail they We're sure to drop into my place
while they waited; everybody drank,
everybody treated everybody else, and 1t
made trade lively. Now the farmers come
into town but two or three times a week,
and more often but once, and the worst
of 1t is they don't happen to come in to-
gether, for they only come In for gro
ceries or some other supplies, and no two
mems supplies are apt to give out at eX-
actly the same time. This, you see, does
away with the matter of treating, and re-
duces trade tremendously. It's running
business, I tell YOU"
Mr. Sphinx is an observing man, and the
saloonkeepers point of view interested
him. He took pains to inquire OF the
business men he traded with as to the
correctness Of the. saloonkeeper's judg-
ment, finding to his surprise that it was
generally conceded that rural delivery has
| materially affected the liquor traffic in the
small towns, and gives promise Of being
a most effective means Of increasing tenn
perance among the farmers.
'"Uncle Sans method of work and its
effect, although they were not primarily
intended, must give the temperance work.
ers pause when contrasted with those Of
the Carrie Nation ilk and the canteen
howlers,' was the observation of the
leading merchant of one Of the largest of
the towns visited.

HE is NOT. A GOPHER
Travelling Man Who Took Notes III
Iowa gu" Debate.

]. A. McLain, a travelling man whose
home is at Rockford, Ill.,, was discovered
taking notes at the recent debate at the
University of Iowa, and the theme of
the debate was the same as that proposed
for the Iowa Minnesota contest, all the
Iowa students jumped to the conclusion
that the drummer" was a spy for Min
ensota.
McLain had about twenty pages Of
notes in shorthand and was on his way
out when two reporters stopped him. Stu
dents came to the aid of the reporters
and demand was made for the notes. The
"spy' threatened to call for the police, but
it was explained to him that 400 students
might make wreck Of him before the
police arrived. He denied positively. tina t
he was spying and that his notes were
intended for the use Of the Minnesota de-
baters, but was finally forced to give up
his notes and to submit to a careful
search. It is quite unnecessary to state
that McLain is not known at the Univer-
sity OF Minnesota.

SHOULD EXAMINE RECORDS
Examiners Said to Depend Too Much
on Abstracts.

Complaint is made in certain quarters
that the examiners of titles under the
So called Torrens system of land regisltra-
ton do not make an exhaustive examina-
ton of the records in their reports to the
district court. That they examine the abb
stract very carefully is not question: ed, but
unless the abstract has a legal standing
as an official record its value is doubtful,
say the critics. If the abstract of title
was prepared by the county and attested
by county official it would be a wholly
different matter.
From this premise they argue that an
examination of the abstract will not suf-
flee in the proceedings for land registra
ton, but that the original records on
which the abstract is based must be made.
Many attorneys are Of the opinion that
the law requires such an examination.
This point will doubtless be tested in
the courts in a very short time. One of
the applicants for land registration in
, sists that the report Of the examiner shall
be based on the original records them
selves and expects soon to apply to the
courts for an order requiring such al
examination. This will tend no doubt to
establish the legal status of an abstract
of title in the registration proceedings.
