Bees Are Good Business
In Western Montana
BY GRACE B. TRETHEWEY
FLAbead County

to make one pound of wax. A good
queen lays 1000 to 1000 eggs day.
With IS to 80 hives at home, Adel-
bert got four tons of honey last year.
He says he was proud of his bees in
wartime when sugar was in short
supply and they rose to the occasion
with eight tons in one season.
Honey will not freeze but is
spoiled by boiling. He extracts his
by centrifugal force at about 100 de-
grees, but believes the honey in the
comb has more flavor because some
flavor is lost in extracting.
Learned Business in Holland
John Speelman, who brought his
bees here in 1916 from Manhattan,
Mont, began his training in the care
of bees in Holland, in the little town
of Eerste Exloermond, Province of
Drente, under his grandfather, who
was a professional beekeeper. He
recalled that heather is an important
bee pasture there. 1t is his opinion
that the bees use up most of the
dandelion honey here in their own
economy and that it is better that

Biggest Loss
In Having

THE BIGGEST avoidable loss in
farming comes during haying oper-
ations-whether you bale, chop or
loose-stack your hay, in the opinion
of Tom Simanton, Phillips County
farmer and rancher. Just look
around during haying season, he
says, and see how much hay is dried
out and weathered to poor quality.
Sure, Simanton agrees, some hay
weight and nutrients will be lost
any time you field-cure hay. But
leave it to cure longer than abso-
1utely necessary, in the swath or in
the windrow, and you've lost too
much. These, he believes, are the
Simanton, who keeps SO acres of
his irrigated farm in alfalfa, follows
one principle in handling his loose
hay: Get it piled and protected as
soon as it is safe to handle.
Prompt raking is one of the inn
portant steps, he believes. Siman-
ton is in the field with his side
delivery rake just as soon as the
alfalfa shows some wilt after NOW
ing. And he rakes three windrows
together to make bigger pile and
keep more hay protected from the
sun.
Then comes what he considers his
biggest loss-saver, step that gets
his hay into protective piles from
half day to day sooner than it
can be stacked.
Using hydraulic stacker on his
tractor, he pushes and piles the
windows into 100000 pound shocks,
each about 6 feet high. These
doodles aren't packed or stacked, so
air can circulate through them
freely. But they keep most of the
hay under cover while it is drying.
Simanton leaves the shocks in the
field for week or two, or until he
gets time to stack them. A little
handspring makes them water
proof and none has ever spoiled.
When he's ready to stack, the shocks
have settled and are easy to move
from the field to an area near his
feedlots where he stacks all his hay,

Adelbert include honey in most Of
their meals and use it often in cook
ing or baking. The Specimens be-
lieve it is a valuable food for chill
dren from prenatal growth through
to adulthood. 1t is credited with
needed trace minerals.
The Adelberts use it as an antisep-
tic dressing for cuts, in milk for
treating colds and in a pleasant
"Flathead cocktail" used as a quick
pickup drink and made by dissolv-
ing a teaspoonful or more in a cup
of hot water. They believe one can
hardly overestip1ate its value as
food, especially for infants and for
older folk.

1T WAS ABOUT 81 years ago that
Joe Adelbert's family established
some bee colonies on the west shore
of Flathead Lake. They were curious
to learn at first hand what bees could
do and how they went about their
work. A brother, DR.. Francis Adel-
bert, one day decided he would find
out how far they were bringing a
certain nectar that made honey as
clear and colorless as water. He
watched and followed the bees over
hill and bog in laborious "bee line"
Then he came home and figured the
distance from an official forestry
map. 1t was four miles and the plant
that was being generous with its
nectar flow was fireweed (willow
herb).
Although the honeybee rides the
grubline' on neighboring lands,
there can be no question but that he
pays for more than he takes by the
pollenizing service which he renders
while sacking the nectar to carry
home. So the beekeeper's livestock"
is never fenced out of the neighbours
pastureland.
When asked how the prevalent
practice of spraying crops and road
side weeds affects the honey take,
Joe Adelbert explained that the
spraying of roadsides with weedi-
cides reduces the pasturage and that
many farmers have further reduced
it by elimination of yellow clover

blooms to be relished by the bees

idea for your small kitchen
would be to use blue-and-white
plaid wallpaper on the ceiling,
bringing it down over the walls
about eight inches and finishing
it with a scalloped edge. Paint

If by chance there is an old
clock gathering dust in the at
tic, by all means rescue it and
give it a place of honor in the
living room.
Clocks were never more i'm
portant as decorative accessories
than they are today.
The fine workmanship and
imaginative designs that went
into the creation Of q clock q
century or so ago made many
of them really fabulous works
OF art that graced the palaces
of kings and nobility. Today.
many of these clocks are the In
spiration for modern timepieces
with an old-world flavor.
Lacking the antique clock
among the family heirlooms 1t
win be fun and probably reward
ing to browse among the antique
shops, where a treasure may be
picked up which may well be-
come the focal point Of interest
in the living room. Or. having
no luck in the antique shops, one
undoubtedly win find interesting
reproductions in furniture and
decorative accessory stores.
Clock makers Of earlier eras
sought ingenious devices to make
their timepieces distinctive.
There was great rivalry among
the artisans of France, England
and Germany to create a clock
which would perpetuate the de-
signer's own name.
These artists-for they were
as worthy of the designation as
the painters and sculptorS of the
day-used the finest porcelain.
gold, silver, marble and rosewood
for their masterpieces. Secret
mechanical devices were much
in vogue.
Another famous clock in a
collection now being exhibited is
Gothic chamber clock, the old
est clock in America of French
or Spanish origin, made in 1860.
This clock is regarded as the
earliest ancestor of the modern
clock.
When buying a clock, it is
wise frst to decide the posi-
ton it will occupy in the liv-
ing room. If there is no man
tel. chest or table which offers
the right resting place, give con-
sideration to a wall clock. There
are any number of interesting
reproductions Of old wall clocks
now being manufactured and
such clocks become more beau
tiful with the passing years, just
as did the new ones of grand
mothers day which now have
become our antiques.
