He was our friend; ay, we'll we know
BY what beautiful ways in the summer gay,

And what we may do we will not tell
Should we mud that Ringer with rope and

Maybe it's because we overeat of them.

it's most uncomfortable day or two.
We don't mean to abuse our stomachs
but we all do 1t more or less. We see

the longing for them. When it's too

there's a way to escape the conse-

Indigestion is always due to the

They Father Consumption.

Bad coughs, colds and catarrh are re-
sponsible for more consumption than is
traceable even to heredity. Catarrhozone
cures more quickly than ordinary remedies
because it is the only antisepic yet discovered
that is volatile enough to reach the root of
the trouble in remote parts of the lungs and
bronchial tubes, and impregnate every
particle of the air breathed with its healing,
germ-killing vapor. Colds can't last ten
minutes, or coughs more than thirty min
utes when catarrhozone is inhaled. 1t
clears nose, throat and air passages at once,
stops dropping, headache, and erradicates
catarrh from any part of the system. Two

fact, some of the honey sent from
here last season found it's way
to an Ohio town. The boxes
were stamped with Mr. Florey's
name, and in due course of time
he received a communication
from the Ohio merchant asking
if the honey was really made by
bees, or manufactured by some
artificial method. Mr.. Florey
responded that there was re-
ward of $1,000 offered to any
person who could manufacture
honey and put il in the comb to
equal the bees, and that if the
merchant really thought that
the Mason Valley honey he had
received was artificial, and could
prove it, he would be glad to
claim the reward The OHIO
man ordered some more honey.
When Messrs. Florey and War
rem return from Los Angeles a
move will probably by made to
have a bee inspector appointed
for this county, whose duty it
shall be to visit all apiaries and
report their conditions. If dis
eased in any way the owners OF
the affected swarms will be re-
quired to subject the bees to
such treatment as will eradicate
the disease, and Messrs. Florey
and Hartman will undoubtedly
lend their assistance in the good
cause. The business will without
doubt grow to considerable pro-
portions in our valley, and it
should be fostered and protected
as much as possible by our peo-
pie.

the BEE INDUSTRY.
1t is Destined to Become one of Great I'm.
portanCe In Mason Valley.

Deare0 IN our columns TO the
effect that J D. Florey and Har-
ry Warren, OF this valley, had
gone to Los Angeles to attend
the Beemens' Convention to be
held there this week. More than
passing attention should have
been paid to this little item of
news. The object the gentlemen
have in attending the convention
is to discuss all matters pertain
ing to the culture of bees and
the manufacture OF honey with
those from other States, and to
compare notes and gather all
the information possible as to
how to exterminate diseases
which bees are subject to.
About two years ago Mr.
Florey and the Hartman Bros.
moved into this valley with sew
eral hundred hives of bees. They
located here after visiting nearly
every other part of the State,
having decided that the climate
and all other conditions for bee
raising and honey production
were superior at this point. The
success with which they have
met has demonstrated that their
judgment was not at fault. Be
fore these gentlemen came here
the industry of honey manufac-
ture was carried on on a very
small scale, more as a pastime
than anything else, and but lit
tie more honey was produced
than enough to supply the Ma
son Valley people with sweeten-
ing for their hotcakes during the
Winter months. The bees were
not properly taken care of, and
as consequence they became
diseased and the honey was of
ten of an inferior quality. Foul
brood appeared and many bees
died, some apiaries being entire
ly wiped out AS soon as Messrs
Florey and Hartman found the
diseased bees they rendered their
advice and assistance as practi-
cal men to stamp out the dis
ease, and much has been already
done towards eradica ting the
disease and purifying the
swarms. There is foul brood in
some of the Mason Valley apia-
ries yet, but it will eventually be
cleaned out. 1t is to this end
that Messrs. Florey and War
rem are attending the convent
ion in Los Angeles, Mr.. Warren
having become quite an enthusi-
asst in the bee business.
The honey business is by no
means a trif1ing one, as may be
estimated from the fact that
over fifty ton of the toothsome
commodity were shipped out of
this valley last season, and when
it is understood that the product
sold for from 9 to II cents per
pound it will be seen that the
income derived from this source
is considerable. The expense at
tached to producing honey is
light and the business is a pleas
ant one. The market is always
good for the quality raised in
Mason Valley, and hundred
times as much as is now pro-
duced could be sold every season.
In fact there is no limit to the
market for such an article.
The greater portion of the
honey shipped last season was
of the extracted variety, but
a number of tons of beautiful
comb honey in one-pound sec
tons were also shipped, and it

Weekly Crop Bulletin,

Compiled by the Colorado Section of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
for the week ending June 1. 1903.
The weather has been cloudy, with a
deficiency of temperature averaging
from 2 degrees in the extreme eastern
counties to E degrees day on the
western slope. Frequent and 5cnefc-
ial showers are reported; they have
been especially opportune in the east
crn counties. Sunshine and warmth
are much needed in all districts.
Small grain is generally in good con
dition. although continued cold wealth
er has retarded growth, and winter rye
is beginning to head low; less damage
by cut worms is reported Corn and
potato planting is practically flushed,
except late potatos in the nOrth-cen
tral section. Sugar bcets are doing
well, although some damage by Gu.
worms continues In the northern dis
trict Hail in the Arkansas valley on
the 26th caused considerable damage
to bccts, iruiJ gardens, mclons, etc. :;
some replanting will be necessary.
Western counties report rather un-
favorable conditions for Iruit-too cold

Transvaal and Orange River colonies
in South Africa. 1t is stated that the
total number OF mules required Is
&C, 600 and the price Is 70 be SlG6.68 or
around 30 pounds sterling per head.
This means total payment of ten
million dollars for the mules. The
animals are to lie contracted for 10
lots to suit the requirements OF the
authorities in South Africa and will
be shipped about ] 900 at a time from
New Orleans after incubation. 1t
will be recalled that during the Boer
war the United Kingdom mai5rined a

souri,, where horses and mules wern in

that the same premises will be util,Z ID
again. II was found that the danger
OF death during acclimation was great

were inoculated before shipment.
