Colorado Bees Cleared
HoTo Million Last Year.

A flow of honey from the flowers de-
pends on cerrain high life" conditions
Warm nights and clear hot days with
no wind is the ideal The supply of
water for irrigation must be plentiful
as honey bearing plants produce more
nectar when the growth is luxuriant
Frequent rains help much if the
cloudy weather is the worst drawback
in an otherwise favorable season. The
wind causes the bees difficulty in fight
and it does not take much wind to cut
the daily amount of honey gathered in
half
Some of our best honey yields come
in hot. dry seasons when there is a suf-
ficient supply of water for irrigation.
One cannot complain when bees swarm
as early as six in the morning and as
late as six-thirty in the evening. This
condition results from a warm night
and clear. bright sunshine all day.
The most favorable seasons are those
when it is necessary to shade the hives
and give abundance of ventilation to
keep the combs from melting down.
Prospects for fine crop of honey
throughout the State and West were
never better. Bees have bred up re-
markaply well and swarming has been
plentiful. The control of swarming
generally is not serious problem here
in the West, but with many this year
1t has caused no end of trouble.
The Denver daily papers and several
other newspapers and journals have re-
ported fifty per cent loss in bees for
the whole state. The only motive for
such reports is to create sensation. The
loss in one small district between Dem
yer and Fort Lupton may have been as
great as that. but the loss for the whole
state would not run over ten to fifteen
per cent. This loss will be more than
made up this season if not already. The
Bookkeeping industry is developing
faster than many others and Colorado
is now among the foremost honey pro-
ducing states of the Union.
Fifty carloads of honey were shipped
in 1907 and the total products of the
bee, honey and wax would aggregate
likely $500, 900 for that year and the
crop will be larger this year as there
are more bees. taking the whole state
over.
The average loss in winter is from 5
to Is per cent, so the loss the past
winter was not much greater than is
usual. Ranch and Range.

Cost of Producing Eggs.

What does it cost you to produce
your eggs? Do you know? Prof. Gra-
ham of the Storrs Comm experiment
station says: II have been very much
surprised at the data received from
several of the experiment stations re-
gsrding the cost of egg production. In
some cases l find eggs have cost as high
as Is cents dozen and some as low as
8 cents a dozen, including labor. l
find that, speaking generally, the larg-
er the range the less food was required;
in fact, where birds had free range the
cost was anywhere from 8 to 10 cents,
and in cases where the birds were on
limited range the cost was under twelve
cents. This has forced me to the con-
clusion that it is very hard work for a
man to run an intensive poultry plant
and compete with the farmer in egg
production.

Late Cultivation of Orchards.

Late cultivation in the orchard is apt
to be injurious for the reason that it
induces late growth. At all events it
can be of small utility when the tree
begins to mature and rains become fire.
quent. This season of respite gives the
grower the opportunity of raising a
green manure, and of adding fertility
TO his land at trifling expense and with
no harm to his trees. Fall blowing
may be advisable for farm crops. but il
should generally be discouraged in or
chards. The land in orchards should be
left compact in the fall. and it is advis-
able TO cover it with some close herbage.

those sections, and rain in considerable
abundance they have had this summer.
1t has been demonstrated by the
experiments made, however, that GER
tain hardy grains and deep Flowing of
the soil will go far in such sections to
reproduce, but when it happens to rain
occasionally it helps quite lot.
Many of those who have endeavored
to be shown about the dry farming
science" are said to be anxious to use
the prestige of a good crop this year
as bait to find them a purchaser
for their farms.

Points to Profit in
Beet Sugar Making.

The Western Land and Sugar com.
pany at Grand Junction has just paid
off $500, 900 mortgage by taking up
its bonds issued to that amount Ia years
ago. The bonds had Ia years more to
run. but the company found itself able
to pay off the mortgage now and stop
the six per cent interest they were
drawing.
1t is hardly necessary to remind the
farmers of Delta county that they sup
piled most of the raw material out of
which this $500. 900 of profit and other
profits accumulated.
1t is perhaps equally plain to them
that il they had a factory at home ope-
rated upon basis of cooperative own
ership, that they might have $500, 900
or more, invested in their own proper
ty instead of in the property of some
company away from home, and that
the hundreds of thousands of dollars it
costs for labor to operate the factory
would also have remained at home. 1t
would have gone into the building of
homes and into all the channels of
trade and support.
There doesn't appear any present
doubt but the manufacture Of sugar is
good paying business proposition; so
much so that heads of sugar trusts
have been arrested. convicted and fined
to the extent of millions of dollars for
grating.
Delta county field should have fac
tory and could have If the people would
take hold and start it. There should
be easily found in this field 100 men
who would be willing to invest $1,000
each in stock. This would be enough
to secure money on bonds to pay for
building and equipping the factory.
