FARMING
WEST COAST MAY BE
GREAT BEE COUNTRY
Raising of Alfalfa as Experiment En-

Raising of Alfalfa as Experiment En-
eOurages Bee Culture, But Meth
DDS are y ct Primitive.
Guaymas, Mex, March z5.-With the
raising of alfalfa in Mexico to a large
extent is being born a new industry,
that of bee culture. At the present
time there are almost no bees along
the west coast. In Vera Cruz some in
diYiduals nave as many as 100 hives,
but they are cared FOR IN the most
crude fashion Usually they are kept
in old boxes Gold petroleum cases be-
ing preferable.) Left to shift for
themselves, the bees will swarm in
hollow logs, from a beam under the
roof Of a veranda or fro m a branch OF
a tree close to the house.
Two swarms per year from a mother
colony is the general rule. From an
old colony the first swarm may be
expected in the month of March.
Should a second swarm make its ap-
pearance it will come about the month
of July or during the height of the
Towering season. The removal OF
swarm once settled is performed much
so-called hive intended for the recep-
ton Of the swarm may be smeared
with honey on the inside to attract the
bees, or the colony may be left to its
own resources in arranging its new
habitatiOn.
Honey is taken from the hives twice
a year, in March and in July, but this
rule is not strictly adhered to. Gil
matte conditions and the supply or
Towering plants naturally have much
to do with the production of honey.
The comb is removed with long
knives (machestes). Usually the bees
are smoked out by burning corn cObS,
or by the aid Of a small furnace of
clay OF sheet iron, in which dry ma
nUre is burned.
Separating the honey from the comb
is an operation performed today IN
Mexico as It was 100 years ago. Most
their hands until no more liquid may
be extracted, and the mass is then
again pressed through a coarse cloth
made of pita fibre. Another method
is to extract the honey by means of a
small hand press and fine sieve. Some
of the honey is boiled before packing
but this is not done in all cases The
product put up for home consumption
is packed in bottles, and for export
it IS packed in five gallon cans, two
to a case. or in wooden barrels
Wild honey is gathered, but not IN
sufficient quantities for export or even
for family use. 1t is believed in Mexico
that wild honey possesses medicinal
properties, particularly that from
small stingless bee about the size OF
the common house fly. Sometimes
this little bee is domesticated, and IN
such cases gOurds are used for hives
In the state of SinalOa and in the
territory Of Topic, bee culture has re-
ceived but little attention. but it is not
uncommon to find honey in the mar
kets Of Mazatlan, Culiacan, Rosario,
Acaponeta and Topic.

THAT INCOME TAX AMENDMENT

Every resident Of the United
States who earns more than $4,000
per annum must pay a tax of one per
cent. on his earnings in excess Of tn 5

Ing in congress.
The measure would also provide
higher rates Of taxation for persons
with larger incomes. adding a sur
tax Of one per cent. addition on earn
ings in excess Of $4,000. two per
cent. additional on earnings in ex-
cess of $4,000. and three per cent
additional on earnings in excess OF
100000,
Under the surtax progiions those
who earns only $4,000 would pay to
the government each year At tha rate
of one per cent. on $4,000 Is .O0c ex.
empu or si6o II he earns $4,000 he
would pay one per cent. OH $1,000

The person with a $4,000 income
would pay one per cent. on $4,000.
and two per cent, on $50, ,o00-a total
of $76O The man with an income OF
100000 would be required to pay one
