1t remained for Chas. Dennis
and son, Ben, to introduce a new in-
dustry into Kingsbury county. Of
the two the former has been the
more successful, owing to his mer
favorable surroundings. Last year
Ben gave his father two swarms of
bees. Those two swarms doubled
that season and produced about 100
pounds of honey. They came
through the winter in good shape
and have multiplied until there are
now sixteen swarms. Mr.. Dennis is
favorably located on the bank of a
lake where his bees have the wild
cherry and plum blossoms to work
upon in the early season. He plant
ed sweet white clover and then ten
acres of buckwheat end the golden
rod, which furnished a great guam
tity of honey material. The last
run of honey is from this buckwheat
and the golde nrod, which makes the
honey a little darker than white Glow
or, but yet nice and clear with an
elegant flavor. The honey produced
this season amounted to 400 pounds,
having a market value Of about $40.
The ten acres Of bu~ckwheat is
bringing Mi. Dennis $40 per acre
besides sufficient -four for home use
and the seed for next years crop.
Mr.. d. says the bees work all the
time without having to feed or milk
them, and this years results have
convinced him that bees are mighty
good property and easily handled.
Hope that next year will prove as
profitable for Mr. Dennis in this
line as has this season, and that
gradually he will work into the bust
ness on a large scale.
