DCgSaSQH healthful and invigor-
VGEN ating occupation-one in
lA-AI which q goodly share of
the compensation is to be realized
in the pleasure of the work-bee-
keeping may we'll be given careful
consideration.
The demand for honey is on the
steady increase, and has more than
kept pace with productions; and an
overproduction is possibility too
remote to be considered. Better
methods of distribution which are
in the process of evolution will
facilitate the profitable marketing
of all the honey that is likely to be
produced.
Work with the bees is as much
recreation as toll. The develop
ment of ways and means to induce
the bees to accomplish the most
for their master gives mental en-
ployment to those of scholarly
taste. Interest in building up the
colonies in preparation for the
honey flow develops into fascina-
tion as they reach the highest
point of prosperity and enter upon
the harvest of sweets.
A prosperous apiary, with hives
TERED up containing a bountiful
crop of honey is most inspiring
sight. The hum of the bees as
they steadily pour into the hives
intent only on garnering the pre-
cious and wholesome treasure
from the blossoms of the fields, is
music to him, and his occupation
of turning the God-given instinct
of the bee to work for the benefit
of mankind is a pleasure most
satisfying.
The specialist beekeeper has out
door employment in abundance in
the temperate climates commenc-
ing with the first warm days of
spring, and continuing until the
beginning of winter weather.
Beekeeping differs from most
other branches of agriculture, in
that the beekeeper handles an ami
NAL which has never been domesti-
Gated. He must therefore study
the habits of this animal and know
them intimately before he may
hope to succeed with this work.
The feeding habits, breeding, and
even the housing of bees has not
been materially changed in all the
centuries that man has handled
them. If their habits are we'll un-
derstood, the beekeeper may cause
them to accomplish results which
will lead to the greatest profit to
himself. The work is light, with
out routine duties at fixed times,
with no drudgery. Beekeeping is
interesting, in fact enthusing and
strengthening to the mind and the
body. It is a profitable business
which may be made very lucrative
with devotion and experience. A
western man sold his crop of one
season to a well-known company
dealing in honey for $50, 900.
The uppermost question IN refer
ence to beekeeping, in the mind of
the average inquirer, is, docs
Bookkeeping pay in dollars and
centsg" for, no matter what COM
pensation in pleasure and health
fulness it affords, the monetary re-
wards must be sufficient to satisfy
the requirements of the individual
who is seeking a good occupation
for living.
To answer this question, let us
take an example of a real bee
keeper in good but by no means
exceptional location for honey pro-
duction, operating not SO many
bees but that he can. if necessary,
do nearly all his work single
handed, and therefore not menaced
by strikes or other labor troubles

emulate.
For such an example there is 8
report of a beekeeper of Michigan
who last season produced, from
280 colonies of bees, honey that
sold for 81. .486. 87-an average oi
nearly $27.0O per colony, while
some of his best colonies made as
high as $500. Besides the honey
he produced $50 pounds of bees
wax and increased his apiary by
As colonies. 1t seems fair to place
the value of the As colonies in
crease especially in this bee
keepers hands, at $1,000 per col
ony, which would amount to
81, ,440; and the beeswax, at &c
cents pound, net. which would
amount to $40, making grand
total gross income from the apiary
of $9.066-an actual average OF
over $1,000 per colony. The ex-
penses of operation are not given,
but they would be comparatively
trifling, probably coming well
within 81, 800, and would consist
chiefly of containers for honey
complete hives for increase, and
necessary help and transportation
AS a means of money-makin
the value of this investment to the
beekeeper may be readily cal
culated if we know or assume the
percentage of profit on his capital
that will meet his expectations.
Suppose he is satisfied with 25
per cent gross. Then his in
vestment in bees and equipment
would be valued at $50. .264 as Is
per cent of $685. equals $9,066;
and his original 280 colonies have
a valuation of $129.50 each, as 28O
is contained in 1924 about 1895
times. This seems high for bees;
but it also seems difficult to get
away from it except upon the
theory that the labor and skill of
the beekeeper are the chief factors
in the production of a crop of
honey.
Suppose we examine the prop
osition from another angle, and
imagine the beekeeper does not OBJ
ject to being classed as a prof
teer" and will be satisfied with
nothing less than 100 per cent
gross profit. Then if he makes
$9.066, or 100 per cent. on 28O
colonies of bees, they must repre-
sent a. capital of $9.O66, or $3l.37
per colony. While last seasons
crop of honey was not abnormal,
the jobbing price was higher than
may be expected in the future;
but the percentage of profit on the
valuation of $4,000 per colony may
be considerably reduced before ii
ceases to be attractive to the bee
keeper.
Honey is made from the nectar
secreted by thousands of varieties
of flowers. This nectar is gathered
by bees and modified by them
chemically. Water is evaporated
out of it and it is ripened into q
delicious and wholesome food.
Before cane sugar was manu-.
factured in quantities for CONNER.
cial use honey was the most com.
mon sweet in human food. In pio.
neering days it was hunted sys.
tematically in hollow trees and
crevices in rocks. Wild honey sc
secured was considered we'll worth
the time spent in seeking it.
There is another form of honey
designated as abnormal, since i,
does not come from the nectar o1
flowers, but is, nevertheless, gath.
cred by bees. 1t is developed from
a sweet substance known as honey
dew, deposited on the leaves o1
plants by certain insects such al

dew is not found at all. Where
found, the amount that bees gather

It was bedtime. Little Jack
was awfully tired. Mama had
lust tucked him snugly into his
little bed. He didn't feel sleepy.
He'd been to the circus during
the afternoon and thoughts of
the wonderful things he had
seen were whiriing through his
little mind.
There were the little Shetland
ponies. II only he could OVID one, he
would be the happiest boy in the
world. And then there were those
funny clowns. Jack laughed as he
thought of how one big fat clown had
ridden around the ring hanging to the
tail of kicking mule.
Jack has Visitor.
Restlessly he plunged his little
head into the downy pillow. He was
thinking again OF those pretty little
Shetland ponies when, he felt some
thing touch his arm Quickly he
Jumped up in bed and looked about
1t was awful dark. He jumped out
OF bed. Pressing a button on the
wall he caused food OF light to
make the room bright as day.
He looked back toward where his
head had previously been buried in
the downy pillow. There beside the
head of his little bed stood a snow
white Shetland pony. Just the kind
pony Jack adored. His little heart
was pounding, Jack was excited. He
-ushed to the pony's side.
It was at this time that little Jack
noticed a rolled piece of paper in
tue pony's mouth. Tied around the
roll was a pretty blue and gold rib
bon. Jack took the paper and I'M
rolled it. Inside written in gold ink
was this message.
I've sent my pony friend Fleetfoot
to bring you to Thriftland. Climb
onto his back, whisper the word
thrift in his ear and he'll carry you
to Thriftland." Signed, Queen of
Thriftland.
Little Jack loved adventure SO he

the pony's ear.
Immediately Jack was whirled out
INTO the starry night. Through the
heavens with the speed of the wind
flew Jack and the pony. Through the
,tars sped the little pony. Suddenly
when straining his eyes to see through
the darkness ahead, little Jack spied
the faint outline Of castle. They
were approaching Thriftland.
