BEE PRODUCTS.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Last year beekeeper in Phoenix. Ariz..
shipped three full carloads of honey from
an apaary including about 600 hives. An
other man. who only makes beekeeping
q side issue in connection with other
farm work, has for several years been
shipping two carloads OF honey from
about 800 hives. Between thirty and forty
carloads of honey are shipped from the
vicinity of Phoenix annually. ranging In
value FROM 81 900 to $1,000 per car The
yield from California is even larger and
other states also are producing honey in
carload lots. Such quantities as these
make IL easy for the reader to see how
the aggregate $4,000. 900 honey produc-
tion Of the country Is obtained. The value
of the beeswax amounts to nearly $1,000.
900 more. In addition to these two prod
ucts the bee produces a substance known
as propolis. a glue-like material with
which they seal up the cracks and crew
ices of the hive before beginning to build
cells. Propolis is in great demand for
applying gold leaf to picture frames and
other articles. but as yet no means has
been found for obtaining it in large COM
smercial quantities.
The patient industry which enables the
bee to amass such large stores has made
her the subject of scientific study for
centuries. Yet the full measure of her
activities is not understood even now.
Maeterlinck tells US that Aristemachus,
AN ancient Greek. studied the bee for
ffty-eight years and considered the time
well spent. Since then the bee has been
the subject of study in every age. but
the principles of the hive organization
and its feminine government were only
discovered by the Dutch savant, Swami
merdam, in the seventeenth century. The
beehive is the finest example of feminine
dominion in the world.

mostly to the mothers of whom we read
in the Bible. After speaking of Hannah
and other godly women who consecrated
their children to the Lord she spoke of
the mother of Moses, who sought the
privilege of raising her child as
heir to a throne The nature of the
mother of Jesus and John was dis
cussed. There seemed to be little room
left in the church for the progressive
for family discipline laid down in the

one who is too cowardIy to uphold them.

may go to a neighbor and ask her to
join the organization when she could not
with propriety approach her on more

ginning this work in early years is
brought home very forcibly when we
consider the power of habit and the inn

road. We may think one little thought
or one little act matter of small conse-

that city how the new parcel post law
can be used to good advantage in devel-

But not only is the merchant benefited
by the new law, for the enterprising
farmer can work up profitable business
in farm products, such as butter, eggs,
ETC., among residents of nearby cities by
advertising in the local newspapers The
Beacon declares this plan has been fol-

Zone OF the most successful methods
of using the parcels post is by advertise

merchant can bring the purchaser direct
