more bees were bought from time to time to meet the demands incidental to raising a family as well as to lay up q bit for future use. My best results were obtained from an out yard of 9l spring count. increased to l60, and I extracted 140 cases of fine honey. This honey was taken in seven ex- tractings. The best results was from about 700 colonies in one year amount ing to 5000. Last fall I purchased some 300 colonies making my total 1900 colonies. l expect to reach the 1900 mark this year. do not work over seven months a year, balance of the year I take it easy. I have not had a failure during my ten years. The best yield per day was seven and one half pounds from one colony on alfalfa and on mesquite about twelve pounds. The principal part of the honey is produced from the third cut ting of alfalfa. The first cutting never yields but little if any honey, owing to the climatic conditions. which are not favorable for the production of honey. In early spring and when seed crops are in bloom, the revenue from the honey bees is realized by the apiarist. Also the frequent visits of the bees bring the pollen in contact with the bloom of other plants. there by fertiliZing a greater amount of bloom than if it were not visited by the bees. In this way the farmer gets his reward in a greater yield of alfal- ia seed. In 1906 there were thirty three carloads of honey shipped out of the Salt River valley and last year was nearly as much There are 230 cases in a carload. A case is q pine box holding two five gallon cans of honey. The cans hold 12O pounds of honey. the entire case weighing 134 pounds. Our freight rates are s1 per cwt. to most eastern points.
 In conclusion I will say that s1O.000 would not induce me 10 dispose of my bees and my home. On arriving here my cash account was less than B .000. For an invalid. I am satisfied with past results. From now on I expect to do much better. as I have all the implements. locations. bees and in fact everything I need pertaining to apiculture. or required in an up to date apiary.

Majestic Ranges" The origin of this business dates back to 1905 when it was established on First avenue and 1t came into the possession of the present owners one year ago. They were then compelled to seek larger and more commodious quarters which they now occupy. The manager of this company. MT. sJ. B. Long is a native of Arkansas and came to Phoenix twenty-six years ago from Fresno. California. where he first en- gagged in the hardware business. He not only bears the destinction of be- ing the pioneer hardware man of the capital city. but one of the best posted men in this line of work in this sec tion. Mir. Long has always had great faith in this fertile section. and is all ways willing to devote his time as well as financial assistance toward any cause that will enlighten others of the wonderful opportunities out here that await eastern settlers.

north of Six Points. The ground is old alfalfa land but Mir. Rogers be- lieves that with a little care and work such corn can be raised any where in the valley.
 The corn was planted on July F and so was only sixty days old yesterday The ears have not yet had time to form but there will be a heavy yield. for the stalks have from two to five shoots. By the time of cutting, which will be about the middle of October the ears will have fully developed.
 This corn was planted immediately after a crop of grain had been taken from the same land and the corn will be removed in time for the planting of another crop of grain this fall
 MT. Rogers has been offered s3O an acre for the privilege of turning beef cattle into it, he being given the priv ilege of "snapping" the field. that is. taking off the ears of corn. He has refused as he wants to save the corn and fodder for his own stock.
 Mir. Rodgers believes that better and bigger corn can be raised in the Salt River valley than in any of the so- called corn states. The trouble he says, has been in the method of plant ing. which has really been done with out any method. If the same plan were followed in Iowa, Illinois. or Kansas the crop would hardly be worth the gathering.
 The practice of planting here has been as follows: The ground has been carelessly plowed. immediately after irrigating. when the ground was a muck. The corn has been covered up in the third row and after that has been left to it's own devices, never cultivated or receiving any attention. The old timers said that was the only way to raise corn and they further said that the cultivation of it would be worse than useless.
 Mir. Rogers planted his field after the manner which prevails in the corn states. The ground was put into fair shape and when the time came. a cul- tivator was run through it. Said he: q found that the only thing that cul- tivating hurts is the feelings of the man who runs the cultivator but it is the making of the corn

SALT RIVER VALLEY CORN.
Not Common Crop Here But 1t Will
 BE Some Day.

It is more nearly true here than anywhere else in this country. that any thing that can be grown any where. can be grown here, with proper care, and the reason that many crops common to other countries are not raised. is only because nobody tries to raise them. There are a few things for which this valley is not naturally adapted as for instance, apples in general, though it has been demons strated that certain kinds of apples will grow as well here as anywhere. Until recent years it has been ac- cepted without contradiction that this is not a corn country. except for the short stunted and flint like Mexican corn that has always been grown to some extent for household purposes. chicken feed, etc. It was calmly as- sumed that because the extreme hot months of midsummer made the big leaves of the middle west varieties curl up, that corn was impossible. Nobody stopped to think that all that is necessary is to plant so the big growth will not be made during the heart of midsummer when the weath- CT is hottest. Since the raising of corn has become sanely considered it has been done very successfully by number of farmers.
 sam Rogers is not one of the men who responded to The Republicans request for a corn story. but his eN- perience is too good to be left out. hence the following is taken concern ing his success. from the issue of this paper of September "A. 1907. The story was carefully written at the time and is good enough to repeat frequent ly. The reader is asked to note par ticularly his double crop" system. Here is the clipping:
 On Saturday night Mir Rogers was at Surgeons butcher shop and the conversation turned on the subject of corn. MT. Rogers mentioned casually that he has corn higher than the tops of the screen doors which are about twelve feet. An unbeliever wanted to bet that there was no such corn in the valley. and purse of s20 was put up.
 Yesterday morning MT. Rogers brought to the shop three stalks of corn. one was thirteen feet nine in- ches in height, another thirteen feet. ten ana hdiI lncntS ana tne tnlru, thirteen feet eleven inches. Mir Rog CTS made the collection on Sunday and he said that he had no doubt that he could have found even taller corn. but the field had been lately irrigated and getting about in 1t was both difficult and unpleasant.
 This field of corn consists of ten acres and is on the old Jake Miller ranch. four miles west and half mile

1 particular. The Republican is but voicing the sentiment of the citizens of Phoenix when it says that the es- i tablishment of Talbot and Hubbard, has, through the nineteen years of meritorious service, won the confi- dence and endorsement of the public. It is one of the largest general hard ware houses here, occupying a large and well equipped building on East Washington street with ample ware house facilities, while the stock car ried is so extensive and varied as to comprise everything that could be sought for in a store of this nature. It would be almost useless to attempt to enumerate in detail the many things to be found In this well stocked estab- lishment, but we will briefly say that Talbot & Hubbard are large dealers in heavy and shelf hardware, stoves, tin and granite ware, nails. cutlery. guns, ammunition, paints, oils and glass. And the very completeness of stock and thorough business methods have attracted a patronage that ex- tends throughout the trade territory tributary to Phoenix.
 
 dates back to 1888, when a partnership was formed by Walter Talbot and Geo. E. Hubbard, and two years later oc- cured the untimely death of the latter While the firms name has always re- mained the same. the business has from that date been in complete con- trol of MT. Talbot, who previous to locating permanently in Phoenix was for twenty-five years in mercantile pursuits in Chicago. Since locating here he has not only established him. self as one of our most successful bus mess men. but always finds time to devote his time and financial support as well. to any cause that has the fu- ture welfare of the city or valley at stake. He is now President of the Board of Regents of the Territorial University. by appointment of the Governor. also President of the Phoe- nix Building and Loan Association, and served one term as mayor of Phoenix, and has for years been an Trade. He also served as a member of the Territorial Capitol Commission, which supervised the erection of the magnificent Capitol building. whicE will stand for ages as a monument to business ability and integrity. and as a public and state improvement that carries with it the admiration of every tax payer and resident of the Territory.

THE FIVE ACRE RANCH.

C. F. Justus bought five acre ranch five years ago for $500. It is three miles west and one-fourth mile south of Five Points, Phoenix. is adobe soil and watered from the Salt River valley canal.
 On this little farm he has all the neat tidy buildings you will find on the average down east farm. keeps two fat horses, two cows, some calves and 150 to 200 White Leghorn chick ems. He does not grow the grain Tor the poultry. but feeds the stock mostly from his own alfalfa fields of which he has four and is always very care full to keep stock on a dry field while having water applied to the other fields and in no case will permit stock to tramp fields until ground has be- come solid after each irrigation.
 MT. Justus' motto is get every square rod of land green and keep It so all the year around" But 1t is plain fact that one man on even a i've acre ranch has no time to spend about Washington and Center street corners talking of great deeds of valor in his past life, if he expects to make sue cess of his venture. MT. Justus has a fine young orchard of bearing trees. peaches. pears, apricots. grapes and grows his own garden truck such as raddishes, turnips, beetS. lettuce. and asparigus. He has brought to the board of trade at different times some fine specimens of produce from his small ranch. among which were 56 tall heads of wheat of good length and well filled from one kernel sowed; I2 heads of oats averaging from to l2 inches in length from one kernel sowed and five stalks of corn 15 feet high with IA good ears on, all grown in one hill; F fine large red checked Alberta peaches on 12 inches of one limb; and 21 feet of Thompson seedless grape vine as one years growth on two year old vine. Mir Justus says he has refused S2O0O for "Chiquito" ranch and is glad he left the Sunflower State and settled right here in Salt River valley. Any person coming to this valley who needs to be showed may call on him at his little home and he will come forward with the goods or he will be glad to answer any inquiries by mail that concern small farming in Salt River Valley, Arizona.
