ALUMNI TO MEET SUNDAY.

MUST CARE FOR BEES. :
Beekeeping, under the old
fashioned plan, where the owner
of the bees simply furnished a
place for the hive to stand and
left them entirely alone does not
pay. A survey made by B. A.
Slocum, extension bee specialist of
the State College, shows that
thousands Of farmers and towns
people are following this old
method, without doubt, for the
reason that they have never learn
ed the value of honey as a food
product.
Sometimes these accidental oa
indifferent beekeepers look upon
bees as a sort of necessary NUS
ance, and that the pleasures of
beekeeping, and the things the
bees do have never been pointed
.out or considered.
In many instances these bee
keepers have almost no knowledge
of modern methods or the profit
able results which skilled bee
keepers in practically parts of the
world are achieving. The indust-
ny of the bee may be turned into
a dollars and cents value, bring
ing the owner more profit in pro-
portion to his investment and
time than almost any other phase
of agriculture.
The fault with many men who
already own bees and who keep
them, or let them keep themselves.
in small way, seems to be a lack
of ability to see beekeeping as a
business proposition. "To succeed
with bees you must learn all you
can about them and must keep
them in the best kind Of modern
hives. Step by step you can i'm
prove your stock just as the grade
of livestock is improved, and
when you havee once acquired the
best, you must be interested
enough and enthusiastic enough.
to manage your bees with the dol
lar mark in view," says Mr.. Slo-
cum. "There's all the difference
between the man who let's his bees
keep themselves and the man who
makes his bees keep him"
The honey bee is an industrious
worker and it has been found
from experience they can and will
work for man. Where there is
only hive or two Of bees, try and
improve the conditions so they
