I am now located in Northern Idaho, 

 in what is known in the Northwest as 

 "The Inland Empire." I believe it 

 is destined to be tlie great "fniit- 

 basket " of the United States. It is also 

 exceptionally tine for hee-keeping, 

 dairying, ponltry, etc. I am told by 

 those who have lived here for years 

 that the climate, take it the yeararound, 

 is hard to beat. There is practically 

 unlimited territory that is unoccupied. 

 The Clovers (white clover, especially), 

 willow-herb, golden-rod, berries, etc., 

 abound everywhere in this region. 

 Land can be had at all prices, depend- 

 ing upon location, condition of cultiva- 

 tion, etc. I will be glad to help any 

 one to a good location for bees, etc., if 

 requested. I, myself, have no land for 

 sale, but I can put you in touch with 

 reliable people who have it. Soil and 

 drinking water are of the best. No 

 irrigation necessary in this part of 

 Idaho.

For a number of years we have been sending out to

 about them :

 Bhowlngr up fine I Introduced them amone black bees, and the bees
