can be made TO pay for themselves
and for all additional apparatus, as
well as to return some profit all the
while II may as well be admitted,
however, that for all its advantages
there are few occupations that require
more study TO insure success than
does bee keeping. In years when the
available nectar is limited, surplus
honey is secured only by judicious
manipulation. and It is only through
considerable experience that the bee
keeper can, under such circumstances,
carry out the proper manipulation TO
save his crop.
All authorities on the subject en-
phas.ze the fact that the only way to
make bee keeping a profitable busi-
ness is to obtain naught but the first
class product-fancy comb honey or
carefully prepared and neatly packed
extracted honey. Under good manage
ment the average annual honey yield
per colony will probably be 20 to 30
pounds OF comb honey. or 40 to so
pounds OF extracted honey. Such
yields can be expected only. however.

A German Allegory.


Lippincott's: On an recent
rip to Germany, DR. Hal vey
Wiley, the governments pure
food expert, heard an allegory
with the reference to the SUBJ
ject of pure adulteration which,
he contends, should cause
Americans to congratulate
themselves that things are 80
we'll ordered in this respect in
the United States.
The German allegory was
substantially as follows:
Four flies, which had made
their way into a certain pantry,
determined to have a feast.
One flew to the sugar and
ate heartily; but soon died, for
the sugar was full of white
lead.
The second chose the flour as
his diet, but he Jared no better,
for the four was loaded with
plaster from Paris.
The third sampled the syrup,
but his six legs we're presently
raised in the air, for the syrup
was colored with aniline DIX es.
The fourth fly, seeing ali his
friends dead, determined to
end his life also, and drank
deeply OF the fly poison which
he found in a convenient sau-
Ger.
He is still alive and in good
health. That, too, was adulte-
rated.
