 Right here I want to digress a little and tell you something of the position of the bee in the life of any agricultural community. The bee does not, as some people sup pose, live entirely to make honey. Honey making with the industrious little fellow is by-product The whole purpose of the bees life is to fertilize flowers. so that with the greater number of bees in the valley there will be a greater productive ness of fertile plants. The bee car ries the polon from flowr to flower and makes it possible for trese flowers to reproduce i'll kind. All this

In complying with your request, will
 endeaVor to partially state d few facts concerning apiculture in MaricOpa ! county.
 | There are approximately 22,000 col onies kept in Maricopa county which 1 are owned and managed by their own CTS who are mostly up to date apicul- turists. The honey produced is excel l lent and much of it has no superior as table honey and finds a ready sale at i top prices. It is mesquite and cat-claw honey Alfalfa honey is a light amber and has no superior as a commercial article used extensively in bakeries. The number of carloads of honey shipped rarge close to 8 per season and usually leave about $2100.00 per car cash to the producer. i Beeswax amounts to about pounds per case of honey produced in rough
 figures 21O,O0O pounds in an average season.
 There are 10000 bees in a colony. This multiplied by 2O,OO0 colonies in Maricopa county makes a grand total of S00,O0O,O00 bees
 The value of a colony depends much on the hive as well as condition of the same. Perhaps it would be fair to say from $500 to s6.5O per colony. Price of honey for the last season has been the lowest for 19 years. Most of it moved at cents per pound. This was caused largely by the European war. The highest price was : F cents per pound

know that we are protected by strin- gent foul brood law, which guards our industry against diseased bees being shipped in our state, which would if allowed to some in as wished would ruin our industry.
 Furthermore in locating an apiary one should be careful not to infringe on the priority rights of others by locating closer than one mile from said apiary, as in nine cases out of ten the priority apiaryist will succeed while the in truder fails.
 One Of the best methods is to buy the established apiaryist out. There are plenty of new irrigation projects being opened in our fair state that will pro- vide localities for many more apiarys without encroaching on old established apiarists.

being so, l hardly think We give enough importance to the honey in dustry and bee keeping in this com munity. The taxable valuation on bees i'll Naricopa county alone is about 65.000. which is more than that of chickens and rcre than tl.at of hogs. I thing, therefore, in view of this that some steps should fe taken to provide a greater space for display and appropriation for the purposes of display fron ;he State Fair which is cid hero annually. And in this connection. I might say that this would be q splendid ad- verisement for the valley, because 1t would increase the interest in the work, increase the investment in the business and thus increase the value of all growing useful plants in the valley.

Raisin Bread.
HELPS

Into a bowl put one and one-half
cupfuls of warm milk, add two yeast
cakes and one teaspoonful Of sugar;
let stand in warm place until the
yeast rises to the surface; add two
cupfuls of flour and mix to a thick
batter; pour half cupful of warm
milk over the dough, cover and let
stand until it has increased to double
its size. While this is rising, stir half
a cupful of butter with the same
quantity of sugar until creamy, add
the grated rind of one lemon and two
eggs. AS soon as the batter is light,
add the butter and sugar and stir to-
gether; add sufficient flour to work
to a firm, smooth dough. Put on the
board and knead till it ceases to stick
to hands. Put the dough back in a
bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm
place until double its size. Then roll
out the dough until about an inch in
thickness and sprinkle with seeded
raisins (about one and one-half cup
fuls), fold the dough together and
work it a few minutes. Butter your
pan and put in the dough. The pan
should be half full; cover, and let
rise to the top Of the pan. Bake until
done, which will take about an hour
or q little longer. This is the bread
which all children are fond of.

LOUIS ADVENTURE.
BY Edith Houston.

by Edith Houston.
Once upon time there was little
boy called Louis; he was always teas
ing for something. One day he told
his mama he was going to his auntie's.
His mama said he could not and he
began to cry. 1t happened his brother
George was going for a ride that af-
ternoon. Louis did not know where
his brother was going, nor.did he care
much as he was angry. When his
brother got ready, that is, got his
horse hitched and had driven out to
the gate, he thought of what he sup
posed to be a bright idea. This is
what he done: After his brother had
gone into the house after his gloves
Louis climbed into the buggy and
crawled under the seat. When he had
just got nicely settled his brother
came out of the house. After Louis
had been under the seat about five
minutes he went to sleep. When he
awoke it was dark. He was scared
and began to cry for his mama. His
brother heard him and looked under
the seat. When he saw Louis he
pulled him out and said: "What are
you doing under there?" Then Louis
told him that he had asked his mama
if he could go to his auntie's and she
refused, and he had climbed under the
seat and went to sleep. His brother
was not angry; he said: "We have
been to Auntie's and are now on our
way home, and she is coming over
tomorrow" When Louis got home
who do you suppose was there? His
uncle, other aunt and two cousins.
That night he cried and said he was
sorry he took that ride and so missed
seeing his relation first. He never
stole another ride.

story. I am sure all our little men,
bers will enjoy reading it. l hope you

The Soft Corn Problem.

over much of the corn belt large
part of this years corn crop will be
harvested in a soft state. An i'm
portant problem now confronting our
farmers is the disposal of this soft
feed at a profit. This can be done
only by feeding it to the proper class
of farm animals.
There has been but little practical
work done by experiment stations In
feeding colt corn to the various class
es of farm animals. Actual farm ex-
perience has taught that soft corn
cannot be used with success to finish
either cattle or hogs, but that 1t can
be used to advantage in the first few
weeks of the fattening period. Soft
corn will do quite we'll for growing
stock or stock that is being carried
through the winter with the expecta-
ton of finishing at later date. Fat
hogs will make better use of soft
corn than fat cattle, but the gains
made are not the most satisfactory.
A number of years ago farmers In
the northern part of the corn belt
had q bitter experience in the at
tempt to fatten cattle on soft corn.
One bank failed which loaned consid-
cradle sums on live stock as result
and other banks were barely able to
weather the storm. The feeders
found that while they were able to
make good gains on thin cattle they
simply could not finish on soft corn
and in many cases the cattle when
sold brought no more than they had
cost and the farmers time and feed
were entirely lost.
lnis experience clearly indicates
that it would be unwise for farmers
to buy stock for fattening unless they
are in position to finish them of on
other than soft corn, in which case
it can probably be done at profit.
Ordinarily it will pay to invest in
young stock to which the soft corn
may be fed or in stock which are to
be roughed through the winter and
fed out later on more substantial
foodstuffs.- Farming.

A GRUEsOME FIND.
John Elder Finds Corpse Suspended
in Slaughter House.

On last Saturday morning John
C. Elder, who resides q short dis
lance north of this city, went to the
back of his place on some duty con-
nected with his work and was In the
vicinity of an abandoned slaughter
house when he was attracted by a
stencil to the place. On entering what
was his surprise to find a man hang
ing from the rack, suspended by a
rope around his neck. The author
tiles were notified and investigation
was made. 1t was a case of suicide
no doubt, and the act had been COM
mitted couple or three weeks pre-
vious to all appearances. He was a
young man, not to exceed twenty-five
and had climbed upon a barrel, tied
the small rope to the rack and then
pushed the barrel to one side, so 1t
would indicate. He still had light
cap on his head, and was dressed in
working clothes, with heavy shoes
on his feet. He had nothing on his
person by which Identification could
be made. Not even a letter, pocket
knife or trinket could be found In
his pockets. Mr.. Sam Beardsley, the
east side undertaken, took charge Of
the body and deposited it in the pot
ter's field that afternoon. Some
home, somewhere will always have a
shadow and wonder what became Of
this absent member.-Chariton

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON MRS.
KROUSE.
Fiend Attempts to Kidnap Child But
Mother Defends Until Aid APP
DoarS In Distance.

A brutal attack and unspeakable
crime was almost committed last
Saturday afternoon when tramp,
fiend or insane man assaulted Mrs.
Chas. Krouse who was driving
along the road with her four chill
dren.
She was driving her horse at q
leisurely gait when suddenly q
strange man sprang up from be-
hind or perhaps had been riding on
the back of the buggy, and seized
the lines and turned the horse into
the fence. He attempted to snatch
away Mrs. Krouse's thirteen-year
old girl with intent to kidnap her.
A desperate struggle followed in
which Mrs. Krouse used all of her
strength to defend her children
from the brute who thus assaulted
them while peacefully driving along
the road. The attack occurred
not far from their home near Bethle-
hem.
In the struggle that followed Mrs.
Krouse was able to hold her own
and the tramp was partly run over
by the buggy and scratch or cut
was probably inflicted on his arm by
a hat pin. At that he might have
succeeded in escaping with the child
but for the appearance of an ap-
preaching team when he broke away
and escaped in the nearby brush and
timber.
The county attorney and sheriff
we're at once notified and blood
hounds were sent for and general
search of the country was made with
the result that two men were arrest
ed, one resident of Lucas county
and one living near Seymour. The
county attorney examined them care
Gully but they both proved an abso-
lue alibi, so they were turned loose
as they rightly deserved.
At the present time, the chance OF
capturing this man seems rather re-
mote. It is generally believed that
he is a stranger although some hold
to the belief that it is local charac-
ter. In our opinion it must have
been a crazy fiend who ought to be
locked up. He must have been out
of his mind. !.
Mrs. Krouse is highly respected
lady. She is neice of Mr.. c. G.
Clark, the chairman of the board OF
supervisors, and she and her husband
for many years have been among
our best citizens.
The poor woman is still suffering
from the nervous strain of the al
fair as is also her little girl but there
is great rejoicing in the fact that it
has turned out as we'll as it did
