BEE BUSINESS BAD.

Florida bee-keepers have just
completed gathering the 1914
honey crop. According to the
Bureau Of Crop Estimates of the
United Safes Department of Ag-
culture, the yield per colony of
bees was AZ pound. In 1913 the
production per hive was 50
pounds.
The decrease is said to be due
to the shortage of the wild
flower crop this season.
The latest census figures Of
the bee and honey industry OF
this State relate to 1910. That
year there were 4, 345 farms in
Florida that kept bees and the
total number of colonies was 3d.

WE HOPE HE WON'T
LEAVE FLORIDA

William C. Temple, Of Winter
Park, is offering his beautiful "Ala-
bama" home and grove for sale,
which suggests that he may be pre-
pairing to leave the State We sin
cerely hope not, for Florida can i'll
afford to lose such a man. He is a
native Of Bradford county and
broadened by residence in other
parts Of the country, he came back
to Florida and threw himself heart
and soul into the citrus industry and
was for years one of it's leading and
most useful figures. He did much
to build up the Florida Citrus Ex-
change and was it's manager until
about year ago. He is a man of
force and decision, positive and in
sistent in his methods, and as such
a man always makes enemies, Mr..
Temple had his share. In the last
issue of the Florida Grower "The
Stroller" pays a strong tribute to
this virile native son, and We quote
its concluding words:
'Mr. Temple is a man who has
always led busy life. one who has
always been in the vortex of big
business. I can imagine that a re-
tired life would not be the one to
suit him. l have often wished that
he would go into politics that he
might bring to bear his keen logic
and forceful character upon State
and national policies. He could fill
any position with redit to himself
and his constituency. Whatever he
undertakes to do he does we'll. and
he always leaves the Tenn Ne imprint
to remind those who come after that
he was not ashamed Of his work. -

RURAL TELEPHONES.

The telephone is one of the
most profitable business agen-
cies that the farmer can employ.
1t. affords him facilities for keep
ing in constant communication
with the markets, provides a
sitting room for the community
where the families can assem-
bic and discuss the events of
the day without the inconven-
fence of travel or loss of time,
and in sickness and emergencies,
it renders a divine service.
Florida farmers should en-
courage the building of tele-
phone lines. Local cooperative
companies can be formed and
country lines built at small ex-
pense.

Now that she has captured the
only German possessions in China.
there is talk that Japan will send an
army across the seas to aid the al
lies, but we don't believe it. Japan
has nothing at stake in this war
and was only redeeming a treaty OBJ
legation to Great Britain in taking
the German fortress in Asia. She
has stuck to the letter of her con-
tract, but it would involve enormous
expense to transport an army worth
while to France. and with no gain
for her in sight she is not likely ia
undertake anything so sentimental
and quixotic.

COOPERATIVE FARMING

In this age of cooperation, in
which manufacturing and COM
mercial interests have attained
wonderful development and sue
cess by merging their resources,
it is not to be wondered at that
cooperation has slowly but in
evitably wended its way into ru-
raj life. The old method of in
dividualism is gradually giving
way to the cooperative spirit
and the result is greatly re-
duced cost of living and lessened
expense of farming.
Florida farmers are leading
the cooperative movement and
t is gradually being extended in
to every feature of community
life.

THERE IS NO DANGER
Government Authorities Think Fear of
Foot and Mouth Disease is Ex-
aggerated.

Some fear has been aroused by the
appearance of the "foot and mouth" dis
ease among cattle in many states. that it
may become epidemic among humans.
That there Is no warrant for this is
shown in a statement given out for pub
lication by the national department of
agriculture. 1t says that the disease is
dangerous because of the loss of stock
occasioned, and not because of its effects
upon the health of people. The state
ment says in part:
"It has been demonstrated by expert
ments which have been made in Dem
mark and Germany that pasteurization
will serve as safeguard against con-
tagion from the foot and mouth disease
just as readily as it does against typhoid
fever, but in any event it must be
thoroughly done-the milk must be
heated to 145 degrees Fahrenheit and
held at this temperature for thirty min
utes.
I'm this country the foot and mouth
few recorded cases of its transmission to
human beings. In 1902 a few cases were
reported in New England, and in 1908
in a few instances cruptions were found
in the mouths of children which were
believed to haye been caused by contain
mated milk. In both of these outbreaks
the sale of milk was stopped as soon as
the disease was found among the cattle.
AS long, therefore, as the disease can be
confined by rigid quarantine to certain
areas, the danger from this source is
very small. Should the pestience spread
all over this country and become as gen.
eral as it has been at various times in
large areas in Europe, the problem would
become more serious. Under any cir
cumstances, however, pasteurzation
would be an efficient remedy. Where
pasteurization is not possible, and where
there is any reason to suspect that the
disease may exist, the precaution of
boiling milk might be advisable. Sim
pie directions for pasteurizing milk at
home, however, are contained in Cir
cular l27 which will be sent free on ap.
plication to the U. S. department of
agriculture.
"Men who come in contact with dis
eased animals may also become infected.
In adult human beings the contagion
causes such symptoms as sore mouths,
painful swallowing, fever, and OCCASION
al eruptions on the hands, finger tips,
etc. While causing considerable dis
comfort, however, the disease is rarely
serious. Where it is very prevalent
among animals, some authorities believe
that it is fairly general among human
beings, but that the disturbances it
causes are usually so slight that they are
not brought to the attention of the fam
lily physician. There is, however, a
very good reason for everyone giving
the diseased animals as wide berth as
possible, namely, that otherwise they
may easily carry the disease to perfectly
healthy herds. Federal inspectors en-
gagged in the work of eradicating the
pestilence are thoroughly equipped with
rubber coats, hats, boots and gloves,
which may be completely disinfected |;
and others who lack this equipment are
strongly urged not to allow their curios-
ity to induce them to become menace
to their own and their neighbors' prop

TROUT POND NEAR PAuToLA.

State Game Warden Hedrick, accom-
panied by Assistant State Engineer
Quincy spent the day, yesterday, along
the upper reaches of Rapid creek, from
Silver City to below Pactola, searching
for suitable location for a trout nurs-
cry.
Below Pactola an ideal spot was found
in lagoon which sets back from the
creek and is fed by springs. An effort
will be made to secure this site for a
pond. The location is in fact the only
one along the creek. which appears to
fill all the requirements of a nursery.
1t is adjacent to the creek and at the
same time it is not accessible for food
waters.
While in the Hills Warden Hedrick
has located a pond s;fs on Spearfsh
creek covering about two acresand work
on the dam will be pushed.
While in the city three half grown
beavers were shipped to the game pre-
serve. They were captured by John
Miller, of Edgemont, who had asked
permission to destroy the animals be-
cause of damage they were doing to his
timber. Other beaver will be placed in
the preserve as fast as they can be cap
tured until colony of forty is located
there.
Warden Hedrick states that the plac-
ing of buffalo in the preserve will occupy
his time for the present. He is about
consummating deal to secure animals
either from the Scotty Philip herd or
from the Rockefeller herd in Kansas,
which is being disposed of.-Rapi1 City

State Auditor Anderson has just COM
pleted the distribution to the Black
Hills counties of the funds made avail
able from the National Forest receipts
for the fiscal year ending June 30tb,
1914. The distribution was as follows:

The total gross income from the Ma
tional Forests in South Dakota during
the past year amounted to $55,S79 90.
BY Act of Congress twenty five per cent
um of the gross receipts from the Ma
tional Forests goes to the school and
road fund of the counties within the
National Forests. National Forest re-
ceipts are derived mainly from the sale
of timber, grazing fees, leases of pas
lures, agricultural areas and cabins.
In addition to the above funds an ad-
ditional sum representing ten per centum
of tho gross proceeds is made available
for the construction and maintenance of
roads directly by the Forest officers.
Under this special provision there has
been made available for expenditure by
the Forest officers during the present
year approximately $5,5S700. Road
crews are at present working on the
Deadwood-Hot Springs highway be-
tween Hill City and Sylvan Lake. 1t is
confidently hoped to finish this portion
of the road in order to have the road in
shape for travel next spring.
