BEES ARE GREATEST
FARM MONEY MAKERS
One Hundred Hives More valu-
able Than 80-Acre Farm,
Says Minnesota Expert.

One hundred hives of bees are
worth as much, or even more, than an
S0-acre farm, says Francis Jager of
Minnesota university farm, st. Paul.
For capital invested and labor re-
Quired, adds Mr.. lager, bees are far
the greatest money-makers one can
keep on the farm. One hundred
pounds is a fair average production
under good management of the bee
yard. At this rate 100 hives would
produce 10000 pounds of honey in one
year. This, at ten cents pound,
would give return Of $1,000 for one
year.
None of this has to be used to pay
for feed for the bees, for all their food
and honey comes from the flowers of
the roadsides, woods, and meadows.
Further. little or no rent is required
for the land, for the beehives can be
placed along rondsides and in meadows
where the bees have food at their very
doors.
The only large expense is for equip
ment such us hives and supers, and
this equipment Will last lifetime. 1t
can be supplied for $500. This means
a yearly charge of only about S15.
The bees can be obtained free by
catching swarms In summer. Then by
the use of purebred italian queens,
these swarms can be multiplied into
purebred apiary.
The total annual cost of the bees
for one year then is less than $50 ex-
elusive of labor. The actual labor re-
qufred is worth $134 at the rate of
$4OO per year, for only one-third of
the time of one man is needed. ac-
cording to Mr.. Jager, who finds that
one man can easily care for 300 hives.
This leaves net profit of Ss4e for one
year.

PROPERTY AT CENTRAL CITY
TAKEN OVER by I. G.

Unsatisfactory Arrangements With
Coal Operators Prompted
Purchase.

Announcement was made yesterday
that the Illinois Central Railroad
Company has taken over the Central
Coal & Iron Company's mines at
Central City. which have capacity
OF 500 tons of car coal daily, and
that tho deal whereby the railroad
acquires title to the property will be
consumated within few weeks. The
consideration involved is said to ap-
proximate 100000. =
Unsatisfactory arrangements with
coal operators OF Western Kentucky
as to the railroad company's coal
supply are said to have prompted
purchase of the mifes. The car-coal
capacity of them ines is exclusive of
chute coal and IL is the intention of
the new owner to increase the output
to 1000 tons a day. Attorneys OF
the Illinois Central are examining
titles and records preliminary to Of
fetal transfer of the property.
The railroad took over the mines
April / 8 and has been operating them
since that time. The Central Coal &
Iron Company still owns two groups
OF mines in Western Kentucky, the
Render mines and the Echols mines.
Supt. Z. +. Hill. of the Illinois Cen
trail, said last night the railroad com
pany uses 100000 tons OF coal an
nually on its lines south OF the Ohio
River. and that the output of the
Central City mines would supply
about one-third of the tonnage nee
essary. Other coal used by the road
will be purchased from Western Ken
lucky coal operators, he said
The Illinois Central has been buy
ing coal by contract from Western
Kentucky operators for several years
ut cost OF $l.0Sh per ton. The
contract continues in effect until
April /, 1918. It's terms, however,
provide that the coal supply of the
railroad be apportioned each year To
various mines i'm the field. Officials
OF the railroad said the company was
at the mercy of the operators because
of the appo,tionmenr clause and that
the coal mines were bought ia SELF
