Bookkeeping for pleasure and profit
is carried on by many thousands OF
people in all parts of the United
States. There are many places where
an experienced beekeeper can make a
good living by devoting his entire
time and attention to this line Of
work. 1t is usually unwise, however,
to undertake extensive beekeeping, the
U. s, department of agriculture
says, without considerable previous
experience on a small scale, since
there are SO many minor details
which go to make up success.
The average annual honey yield per
colony for the entire country, under
good management, will probably be
twenty-five to thirty pounds OF comb
honey or forty to fifty pounds of ex-
tracted honey, the latter being more
productive owing to the fact that the
comb is used repeatedly instead of be-
ing made anew by the bees each time
The money return to be obtained from
the crop depends entirely on the mar
ket and the method of selling the
honey. If sold direct to the consum-
err, extracted honey brings from ten
to twenty cents per pound, and comb
honey from fifteen to twenty-five
cents per section, II sold to dealers,
the price varies from six to ten cents
for extracted honey and from ten to
ffteen cents for comb honey.

vent excessive heat in the colony hot

or black.
Hive Stands.
Generally 1t is best to have each
hive on a separate stand. The en-
trance should be lower than any
other part Of the hive. Stands OF
wood, bricks, tile, concrete blocks. on
any other convenient material will an.
swer the purpose. The hive should
be raised above the ground, SO that
the bottom will not rot. 1t Is usually
not necessary to raise the hive more
than a few inches.
Directions for ManlpuIatIons.
Bees should be handled so that thew
will be little disturbed in their work.
AS much as possible. atings should be-
avoided during manipulation. This ia
true, not so much because they ara
painful to the operator, but because
the odor Of poison which gets into
the air irritates the other bees and
makes them more difficult to manage.
For this reason 1t is most advisable
to wear a black veil over a wide
brimmed hat and to have a good
smoker. Gloves, however. are usually
more an inconvenience than other
wise. Gauntlets or rubber bands
around the cuffs keep the bees from
crawling up the sleeve 1t is best to
avoid black clothing, since that color
seems to excite bees: a black felt
hat Is especially to be avoided.
Superfiuous quick movements tend
to irritate the bees. The hive should
not be Jared or disturbed any more
than necessary. Rapid movements
are Objectionable, because with their
peculiar eye structure bees probably
perceive motion more readily than
they do objects. Persons not accus.
toned to bees. on approaching a hive.
often strike at bees which fly toward
them or make some quick movement
of the head or hand to avoid the sting
which they fear is to follow, This
should not be done, for the rapid
movement, even II not toward the bee,
Is far more likely to be followed by
a sting than is remaining quiet.
me best time to handle bees is dur
ing the middle OF warm days, partic-
ularly during a honey flow. Never
handle bees at night or on cold. wet

Ths New Fable Of Everybody'S Friend
and the LIne-Buaker.

In a sequestered Dump lived two
Urchins, Edgar and Rufus, who went
to the Post with about an equal Handi
cap.
They got away together down the
broad Avenue Of Hope. which leads one
Lad over the hills and far away to the
United States Senate Chamber and
guides another unerringly to the Fed
eral Pen near Leavenworth, Kansas.
When Edgar was a Tootsey he re
ceived a frequent busting with Elk
treme Violet Talcum Powder and was
allowed to play with a flaxen-haired
Doll named Celeste.
About the same time, Rufus began
to take Cold Baths and was propped
up to look at Pictures of Napoleon and
b0hn L. Sullivan and Sitting Bull.
AT School each was a trifle Dumb.
II Edgar fell down on an Exam, his
Relatives would call a Mass Meeting
to express Regrets and hang Grape all
over the Place.
II Rufus got balled up in his An
Bwers, his immediate Kin would pat
him on the Back and tell him he was
right and the Textbook was wrong.
Edgar would emerge from the
Feathers every morning to find his
Parents all lined up to wish him new
set Of Police Regulations.
They held up the Rigid Forefinger
and warned him that he was merely a
Grain of Dust and a Weakling and a
poor Juvenile Mutt whose Mission in
Life was to Lie Down and Behave.
Rufus would be aroused each Sun
rise by a full Military Band OF go

Between the Buckwheats and the
Sorghum, the two Family Boosters
would slip him the pleasing Informa-
ton that never since the Morning Stars
pulled their first Harmonies had there
bounded into the Arena another such
Prodigy of Intellectual Brilliancy and
Physical Valor.
Consequently when Rufus hit the
Fresh Air, with the McGufTey under
the Arm, he wore his Chest about a
foot in front of him.
He acknowledged with Slight Nod

There are so many factors to be con.
sidered, however that no general rule
can be laid down. The only way to
learn how many colonies any given
locality will sustain is to study the
honey fora and the record of that
place. The beekeeper must then de-
eide for himself the best humber to be
kept and where they shall be placed.
Hives.
The type of hive most generally
used in this country consists of a
plain wooden box holding frames hung
from a rabbet at the top and not
touching the sides, top or buttom.
Hives of this type are made to hold
eight, ten or more frames.
Whatever hive is chosen, there are
certain important points which should
be insisted on. The material should
be of the best: the parts must be &C.
