FOR BEGINNERS IN BEE CULTURE

great many people would be glad
~ keep a few colonies of bees if they
did not everlastingly swarm. This
~1ificulty may be overcome to some
aytent. Bees swarm because of lack
If room. If instead of using a single
hive YOU use one OF double capacity,
or one on top of the other, the swarm
ing tendency will be very much cur
tailed; so the best way is to use hives
If large size, or those of ordinary size
one piled on top Of the other; the
bees and queens should be given
plenty Of room.
At the beginning Of the season., one
Glory Of a hive will be enough. Just
before fruit blooms open up, another
Glory should be added, containing
empty combs or frames Of comb
foundation, and as the season ad-
yances. more stories added as re-

constructed easily. There should be
two rows Of holes, one six inches
above the other, 50 hat when shelter
is not provided, and it SHOWS, the
lower holes are usually covered with
snow or ice, h upper ones remain
ing open to admit fresh air, which
is very important. hen after a long
journey. bees alighting at the upper
holes have a shorter distance to travel
to reach their store or sweets.
The hive is 12X12x15 inches inside
measurement and when filled with
honey will hold sufficient to keep a
large colony Of ices during any sea
son not fruitful Of flowers
For holding the comb, small round
sticks are used, the same as in the

In this way You avoid climbing
trees, or cutting their limbs off or
mak1ng that horrid noise of pounding
the pans.
In this manner the attention the
Dees require could be given by the
wife or the son or daughter

be added as needed.
Beginners should not purchase
large colonies of bees Begin moder-
ately and go slow.
Colonies placed in an open situa-
ton n somewhat shaded by trees or
vines will be much more conveniently
handled than when placed. in an ordi-
nary shed or out-of-door bee-houses.
The swarming bag is one of the best
things in bee culture 1t is about six
feet in length and one foot in diane
ter and formed Of alternate lengths Of
calico and mosquito netting. Each
length of about one foOt has a ring Of
wire or hoop to hold the bag dis
ended
When the bees are about to swarm
and are inclined to come outside the
hive, the bag is fastened onto the
front Of the hive and the other end
fastened to a stake. When the queen
enters the bag she bounds to the
upper end and is quickly surrounded
by her followers n the swarm is
then captured with ease.
Beginners are very often impatient
for increase. II you increase your
bees too rapidly you will get less
honey unless you have a frst-class
strain of bees. Even hen if the sea
son is a poor one Or the locality in
which you live is o~verstocked, the
amount of honey may not De as large
as you would expect.

But should not this rye and clover
and peas be fed to cattle and the ma
nure put on the land rather than ploW
them under green? BY no means! till
your land can spare them. Always
feed the hungrier creature first. II
the land is more in need Of fertility
than the cattle of forage, feed the
land first and continue to feed 1t un-
til it gains sufficient strength to pro-
duce a forage crop for the cattle, then
market your forage and feed through
live stock.
But is green rye worth anything as
manure before feeding it to stock? l

ton for yourself. Below you will find

A large entrance should be pro-
yided at the bottom OF each story so
as to keep the bees inside the hive,
for if the bees cluster out in front
they will be sure to swarm; SO there
should be enough room to keep the
bees inside the hive and at work.
Colonies worked this way may store
from 50 to 200 pounds Of fine honey.
Some colonies handled in this way
may swarm, but they will not be

NOTES OF THE SHEEPEOLD.

The truth is the farmers Of the
Middle West are raising better mutton
thar ever before and people are learn
ing hat it is about the best and cheap
est meat they can buy.
The sheep industry cannot reach
perfection until every mongTel dog
in the land is exterminated.
1t is a fact that the dogs destroy
more sheep in some certain States
than all the diseases combined.
Sheep are extremely nervous and
when being fattened for market they
must be quiet and free from sudden
alarm which will cause excitement.
Poorly fed sheep will not produce
very good wool. nor good mutton.

A HEAVY FLOW IF
 WATER ENCOUNTERED

Late Friday afternoon, while the pumps on the excavation for the pier at the new bridge. were throwing water at the rate of a thousand gallons minute from the cylinder that is being sunk, vein of water was encountered that put every thing previous to it in the back grcL..d The two men who were work ing inside the cylinder in water to their waists were in water to their neclls almost before they knew it and promptly sought higher ground It seemed as if the very bottom of the river had been tapped. Yesterday was spent in rigging a larger pump with a capacity of better than two thousand gallons per minute and with this it is expected that the water will be kept low enough to permit of work within the cylinder.

THE TOUR OF JAY SEXTON.

Jay C. Sexton, who left Mesa for
 Michigan a few days ago. left many friends who are anxious to know all his movements while he is absent from the Gem City. Jay is one in name only. being leading attorney of the county, a member of the commercial club, a lodge member, and general all-arOund good fellow. His only fault is that he did not inform his numerous well-wish- CTS of the itinerary of his travels. and they are anxious that he should get the worth of his money, for he has been too industrious to take many vacations in the past. They will therefore be glad to learn that he left over tie Santa Fe railway and expected to go direct to Jackson, Michigan, where he will meet Mrs. Sexton. who preceded him. The couple will then proceed to Ann Arbar, both MT. and Mrs. Sexton being graduates of the university there. From there they will go to Woodward Lake, Mrs. Sexton's former home. where they will remain a couple of weeks. On their way home the couple will visit with Mrs. Geo. w. Silverthorn's people in Chicago and make another stop for short time at Minneapolis. Kansas. MT. Sexton's abiding place in days gone by. If their capital holds out. they will visit the Grand Canyon of the Col orado before returning to Mesa. When MT. Sexton left he planned to do all things above set forth and to have as much fun along the way as he could accumulate. He will depend upon his business partner, MT. Silverthorn. to keep a big balance on the right side of the bank ledger during his absence,

MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED.

The news was given out Elis week that C. $ Dingle and Miss Nora Mer- Till had taken advantage of the conn- dence of their many friends and united their fortunes in matrimony early In June To be exact. they were married at Florence on June 10th. They went by automobile to the Pinal capital, se- cured a license, were married and re turned the same day. Nothing was said to any one of their intentions or what they had done. until this week. Come to think of it, though. they were the two people most interested. and they have probably had a great deal of fun in keeping the secret from their we'll wishers.

TEMPE
FORMER RESIDENT
 IS VISITING HERE

Manuel A Gallardo of Douglas, an old time resident of Tempe. dropped in yesterday morning for a visit of a coup le of days with his brotherin- Sam Brown. MT Gallardo lived in Tempe as long ago as thirty years and since leaving and taking Hp his residence in the southern part of the territory, has been an occasional visitor here. He was last here about four years ago during the territorial fair.
 MT. Gallardo has recently gained con- siderable nOtoriety over the country a rather novel business enterprise that he is floating Some distance south of the Mexican line. there are thousands of wild burrOs. The little animals run wild and are Of no particular use to any one. Mir. GaIard conceived the idea of capturing these in large mum bers and slaughtering them for soap and fertilizing purpose.
 No sooner were his plans in this re- spect made known than the matter was taken up by humane societies all over the country. The objection to the slaughter was sentimental one more than anything else. Questioned regard ing the enterprise yesterday, Mir. Gal lardo replied that he had consulted some of the best legal talent in the ter ritory and had been advised by all that he would be within the law in carrying out his plans. He says that there will be no i'll treatment of the burros what ever and they will be killed in the most humane manner possible, by shooting He himself tails to see where there can

MESA
COOK AND SLOAN CASES.

Seven garnishment cases were re- gently filed against Fred. Sloan and F.. B. Cook, commission men who pur- chased melons from Mesa growers. The men were apparently all right and the melons were delivered to them and sold to them. Then MT. Cook went to the coast, on legitimate business as it transpired; but when the time for pey- ment arrived and MT. Cook failed to return when it is said he promised to be here, the producers became alarmed and attached the money held in the Salt River Valley and Mesa City banks in the name of MT. Cook. Mir. Sloan, who remained in Mesa, stated that he knew that MT Cook would return to settle up the claims of the growers. though he, Sloan, had no authority to pay the demands of the creditors.
 Yesterday, MT. Cook returned from the coast, and says that he will pay everybody; would have paid Saturday, could there have been an agreement as to costs of suits, Cook claiming that he should not be held for all costs.
 Los Angeles papers state that Messrs. Cook and Sloan are responsible parties and that the melon growers were pre- mature. The growers are not blam- able, however; they have heretofore been beaten out of many hundred dol lars through delays and the i,anksupt- cy of a commission firm. They earn their money by hard work and are cer- tainly not required to take any more chances than they have to. Arrange ments no doubht could have been made before MT. Cook left town, had he so wished. that would have prevented trouble and expense.
