FOR AMATEUR BEE KEEPERS,
Cult1VatOr.

A few suggestions may be helpful to
the beginner in bee keeping and en-
able him to make his first years work
marked success
I. Shade your hives, if possible with
should be shaded from nine a. M, to five
p. m., during the hottest season of the
year.
2. Get super of honey from the hive
wintered over by putting super con-
tanning sections with full sheets of foun-
dation Or a super containing extracting
frames on the hive as soon as there is
good working force
3. When the swarm issues remove the
super from the old and place it upon
the new stand. Your new swarm will
not leave their hive and will be quite
likely to continue working in the super.
4. Arrange wind-break to prevent
loaded bees from being dashed against
the hive fronts by the prevailing strong
winds.
5. Provide supports for the hives
which will lift them foot or more
from the ground Ants and insect
eating animals may give trouble if the
hives are on the ground
e. Get your extra hives and supers
set up for use several weeks before
any swarms are expected or the honey
flow may be half over before you are
ready to take care Of it.
7. Keep all comb honey in moth
proof cases and examine frequently.
8. Set the hive with the front of the
bottom board half-inch lower than
the back, but it should be level sidewise
or combs will be built at an angle with
the frames or sections.
9. Do not attempt to handle bees on
cold, damp days, but while they are
working in the fields.
10. If bees are found hanging in chains
in a super do not smoke them down,
thinking they are id1ers, for they are
probably secreting wax
II. Prevent much swarming by remov-
ing extra queen cells and by giving
plenty of space at the bottom. Strong
swarms produce surplus honey.
I2. Grow with your business by read
ing bee journal, a bee book, or both.

Points On the Growing Of Pecans
BY JAMES BEAR

I presume each grower of pecans
has his own peculiar methods Of opera
ton, and I am no exception to the
rule.
When I first engaged in the industry,
[ tried various methods recommended
by apparently successful growers; |
discarded some that proved unsatisfac-
tory retained some and devised others.
In other words, have been experiment
ing ever since and am still at it. Ex-
perience is good teacher, but it general
ly comes high, and did in my case.
We now have works on the pecan
industry, by noted authorities, and
journals devoted exclusively to nut
culture, which place the beginner at
great advantages. With the idea of
assisting in this work [ give a few Of
my methods.
In the first place, set your trees care
fully. We, of the Southland, are b1es-
sed with long season in which to do
this work-December to March-so
that there is no excuse for sighting it.
Get them in as early as possible, and
do it right.
If the spring or summer following
is dry, as it frequently is, water your
trees carefully at least twice week.
Make a basin by hoeing the soil from
around the tree, pour IN a couple Oh
pals Of water, and when soaked away,
draw the soil back. [ find a good plan
is to take two scantlings and make a
frame for a one-horse wagon that will
hold two barrels. A larger one, that
will hold three barrels, can be made
for two-horse wagon. A great help
is to put a quart of nitrate of soda in
to each pail [ have also tried the ao
dition of a small box of concentrated
lye or potash to the two barrels and
believe it pays we'll.
Do not expect much top growth the
first year, as during this period the
roots are developing more rapidly.
Keep up the watering until the drouth
is over. If you can keep your trees
heavily mulched they will not need
watering so frequently; if not mulched,
keep the ground around them we'll
pulverized with hoe or cultivator
If trees Feather OUT from top to
bottom the first year, don't rub the
branches off, as they serve to keep the
sun from scalding the trunk. Begin
the top five or six feet from the
ground, but let branches below this
height grow each year until top is
large enough to shade the trunk, but
cut these branches back each winter
to a foot so that the main growth will
be in the top where wanted There
will be plenty of growth in these cut
branches to shade the trunk.
Last spring I gave the trunks of my
pecan trees a good coating of white
wash, into each pail of which was dis
solved a small can of concentrated lye,
and I believe it was beneficial, espe-
cially on any that were "hide bound"
Of course it is necessary to start
right by getting trees true to name
I know, by experience, how exasper-
ating it is to wait five or six years and

MOTOR CYCLES FOR SPEED
Quick Deliveries of Small Packages
Effected by These Hustling
Noise Makers.

Ever ready to discern new methods and
expedlents for the benefit OF their bust
ness, merchants Of Omaha have gradually
come into the use of motorcycles in the
delivery of their stock. Throughout the
city these sample package autos are to be
found in action.
With quick starts fast trips, the advan-
tage of easy handling and small main
tenance cost, the motorcycle holds forth a
strong bid to favor. Merchants have shown
they are ready to recognize the convey
ance's worth, and apparently 1t is now in
a standing of utility as great as the older
fashioned delivery wagon.
Delivery boys have shown ready aptitude
in learning the mysteries of the motor
cycle. 1t takes but a little time to con-
vert the youth who has handled the relns
for his employer or ridden a common or
binary bicycle into a full-fledged motor
cycle expert. And the transformation has
pleasures for the delivery boys.

is on the pay roll, and, in the eight years
since the present company was organized.
under its present name and management,
practically every building. every stretch
Of track, and every piece Of the rolling
stock has been remodelled or replaced with
something more up-to-date
The cars of the Omaha company travel
at the average rate Of nine miles an hour.
The energy for their work is generated
from 100 tons OF coal. The engine rooms
OF the company consume 5000 tons a month,
and the coal bill amounts to about S2OO,OOC
a year.
The pay roll amounts to at least $1,000, OOC
a year, or 100000 nickel fares. Besides
this, the company pays out $4,000 year
in city, state, and county taxes, and several
hundred thousand dollars for operating
expenses. Improvements have cost S25O,OOC
thus far in 1910.
Total Business Enormous.
These figures give some idea of the
enc rmous business that the street railways
and the people carry on with each other
The size Of the traffic is emphasized when
one realizes that all the income is from
small transactions at cents each. The
total receipts amount to little more than
Sl5O,O0O a month for lines within the city
Of Omaha alone.
Two new and elaborate structures are
now under way which will greatly Improve
the Omaha system. One is the power sta
ton at Fifth and Jackson and the other
the car house at Tenth and Pierce. The
power house will represent an outlay of
about 100000 before it can be used at all.
This will include building that will house
enough machinery to run Omaha street cars
for many years to come and enough ma
chinery to meet the needs for a short time.
One unit of 5000 kilowatt capacity will be
put in at first. Then, when the capacity
must be extended, which will be almost as
soon as the plant is completed. two more
units Of 5000. or possibly 5000, kilowatts
each will be put in, and the total invest
ment will amount to more than 100000.
At Tenth and Pierce streets a modern
fireproof building is erected to be used as
a storage house for cars. 1t is built of re-
inforced concrete and fireproof throughout.
The 700 car conductors and motormen are
the ones most interested In this newest
building, however, as 1t is being planned
for their particular benefit.
Caring for the Men.
Since the men have to wait around the
car houses between trips and before they
start out, the company is making an effort
to provide them with comfortable resting
quarters. This new barn will contain for
their use billiard rooms, a big reading
room, shower baths and a big locker room
filled with steel compartments in which
they can keep any of their belongings per-
fectly safe
So the street railway company is develop
ing itself as company and as an institu-
tion. 1t does its best to make itself not
only indispensable, but a convenient servant
to the public

Omaha business men as a public enterprise,

bring about a better spirit among Omaha
business houses

plications are depended upon entirely. The
increasing popularity of the organiza ton
promises a banner year for 1910 and in
anticipation OF this limit of 1000 has been
placed upon the membership.
Only one requirement must be met by

Very few people have anything more
than a very vague and uncertain idea OF
how big company the Omaha and Coun-
Gil Bluffs Street Railway company really
is. If everyone. rides in a street car once
a day. rides back from his destination, II
can truthfully be said that half of Omaha
carries on business transaction with the
street car company once a day. There are
l25,OOO to 10000 rides taken every day and
at least 40 per cent OF these passengers
take transfers end ride a second time. II
is probable that not a person in Omaha
who is not bedridden goes through a year
without riding good many times on the
trolley cars, and most Of us must ride
two or four times every day
No other company caters to such a wide
variety of patrons and no other company
reaches so thoroughly all classes and con-
ditions of men. The street cars are 50

daily existence that we are apt to think

no other company gets so much advice as
TO how the business ought to be run. AS ar
official Of the company recently remarked
Anybody thinks he can run street rail

run newspaper or a republican govern
ment."
But when one realizes that the company
has LOO employees scattered through al
parts of the city and that the public comes
into closer personal contact with nearly
every one of them 1t is a matter of wonder
that there is not much more reason fol
complaint than even. "a criticising public

First street Railway.
In 1867 when the first public spirited group
of enthusiasts who believed that the strag-
gly, unkempt little town on the banks OF
the Missouri would some day amount tC
enough to make public transportation some
thing of a problem, the idea of a stree
railway was agitated and resulted in the
formation of the Omaha Horse Railway
company. This enterprise was doomed t
heavy vicissitudes of fortune, to defea1
and encouragement and disappointment and
It seemed for many years that it was pre-
mature and useless to the town but II
started the business and that was the Inn
