FOR PROFIT 



wiped out one season's profits; but I succeeded 

 in stamping it out. I am well satisfied from my 

 experience that I could attend to a hundred colo- 

 nies (and I am lame), clearing from $500 to 

 $1000 a season. After all, it comes to this, suc- 

 cess in any line is for the few who will apply 

 themselves faithfully." 



Dr. C. C. Miller of Marengo, 111., who is re- 

 garded as the American authority on bees, has 

 harvested 18,150 Ibs. of honey from 124 colo- 

 nies. However, his warning is that the man 

 whose sole aim is the accumulation of wealth 

 would better let bees alone; but all bee-keepers 

 agree that health, pleasure and a comfortable 

 living are found in intelligently raising honey- 

 bees. 



Profit in animal raising, like profit in all other 

 lines of business, depends largely upon the time 

 and attention given to it and the willingness of 

 the worker to study, to observe and to profit by 

 experience.
