SHORT HONEY CROP.
overcrowdine in Imperial Valley and Lack of Rains in Coast Counties.

Reports from various parts of Southern California indicate that the honey crop has been an extremely light one this year, the yield averag- ing about one-fourth the usual amount. This years shipments of honey to the East from Southern California have amounted to about sixty cars, against 2S0 cars for 1905.
 Few people realize the importance of the bee industry in Southern Cali fornia. Only when it is known that there are approximately 60000 colon ies of bees in the eight southern coun- ties of the State, and that each colo ny contains on the average of 10000 bees during the busy season, all work ing from dawn till dark, can the real worth of the honey bee as a wealth producer be realized.
 The one thing necessary to insure a large crop of honey in sections where the bee depends upon wild flowers for pasture is plenty of winter and spring rains. When the spring rains are short the bloom is cores bonding light and of but short dura- ton, and a scant crop of honey for the bee keeper is the inevitable re- suit.
 Tn the Imperial Valley the shortage ha1 been due to other than elemental conditions, since here the bee de- pends almost wholly upon the irrigated alfalfa fields for ranges. In many eases the overstocKing of localities has been responsible.
 During the past season many stands of bees were shipped in from out side points where the shortage of pasture mace move imperative. As a result. in some places aparies have not been olcated iudiciously, the re- suit working hardship on both the old settler anu tLe new conner.

the Farm Press. II they are thorough.

not likely to become badly infected
during the winter unless they are per-
mitted to run with other sheep that
have not been treated.
Very often showing sheep at the
fairs will lead to trouble unless the
exhibition stock is very carefully
guarded and taken care of before mix

are SO many advantages from dipping
that every farmer should build tank,

TREATMENT FOR sLoAr.
How to Proceed In Relieving AFFLICTED
Animal.


In case Of q slight attack Of bloat
as a result Of eating clover. alfalfa or
some other green feeds to excess. the
animal may sometimes be walked and
exercised and will get all right. A
more direct remedy is to drench with
shout one quart of raw linseed oil for
COW and smaller quantity for sheep
and calves. .
II these treatments prove ineffec-
tive, says the Farm and Home. then
tapping by the use OF the trocar Is
necessary. II the animal is in great
distress and aid must be given at
once. take sharp penknife and thrust
1t through the skin into the paunch
at a point midway between the hip
bone and the last rib and about four
inches down on the left side from the
backbone. In the opening thus made
insert a goose quill, which will allow
the gas to escape.
AS soon as the animal Is relieved
give two ounces of turpentine in one
pint of milk and repeat in two or three
hours II necessary. Sometimes bad
cases can be relieved by forcing the
head of the animal up and back, which
will allow the gas to escape through
the gullet.
