LAND HIGH
BUT THE BEES CHEAP

F.. W. Hadden, a New York city
business man who recently decided to
make his home here. has concluded
that despite the prevailing high price
for land, Yakimans are generous deal
ers. He bought a house and five acres
on South Mob hill. Fruit and chickens
were mentioned in the deal. He had
purchased horse, and preferred to
let some one else milk a COW. but he
did want bees and there was not a
hive on the place. Extremely fond
of honey, a choice Eastwood variety
Of which he was in the habit of i'm

of tine busy workers as soon as he
got settled. He did not have to wait
that long.
Bees in Abundance.
Hardly had the carpenters en-
ployed to remodel the house torn off
a little siding. before it was wildly
apparent that there were bees in
abundance on the premises. Indeed,
the problem was to get them to va
cate. Beckeeper Jesse Thornton
was summoned from Fruityale and
the swarm finally brushed off into 4
hive. To get at them it was neces-
sary. to tear down portion of the
ceiling and of the wall. They had
made their home between the ceiling
and the rafters and behind the lath-
ing on the walls. Judging from the
appearance of some of the comb they
had been there four or five years,
though the former occupants said
they had never been troubled by
them in the least. The bees made
their entrance through crevices in
the building. There was not nearly
so much honey as expected only ten
or fifteen pounds, but the shortage

teaching of agriculture in the
schools of the city and state, the
establishment of secondary agri-

cultural colleges with experiment
farms in each county and other
radical changes from the estab-
lished order of things, the men,
bers of the Ohio state legislative
committee, appointed to investi-

sounded a tocsin calling ohio's sis

the same time a blow against the
food trust-the hardest, by the
way, which has yet been deliv-

BY teaching the primary princi-
pies of farming to children in the
schools and the establishing of ag-
ricultural colleges in each county,
the legislators feel a new interest
would be created in farming which
would have a tendency to attract
the young men of the country to
the farms instead of to the city.
