Don't let cost keep you from the 

 money saving features of a telephone. 

 Cost cuts little figure if returns war- 

 rant the outlay. False economy is 

 keeping many farmers on the grind- 

 stone. Often one instance alone like a 

 timely sale when prices are highest, or 

 assistance in time of need — when 

 accident, fire, or sickness occurs, is 

 worth ten times the cost of a 



Stromberg-Carlson Telephone 



That's how Ihcy pay their own cost — they seldom cost anything for 

 repairs — guaranteed for one year. This proves they are perfect in 

 mechanism. Nothingtoget outof order — simple, durable. Clear and 

 strong in talking qualities. The standard by which all telephones are 

 measured. "As good as Stromberg-Carlson make" is an argument 

 used to sell others. We have just published a book that tells ALL 

 about telephones. Ask for book F- 80, "Telephone Facts for 

 Farmers." We send it. free on request. Address nearest office.

 eight years, and while we do not boast about ourselves we are sure that we are excelled by

have left them in sometimes over 5 months. 

 It is not the length of confinement that in- 

 jures the bees so much as a poor quality of 

 honey for winter stores. 



I took the American Bee Journal long be- 

 fore Mr. York became the publisher of it, and 

 I think I must be the oldest bee-keeper in this 

 State. I have kept bees for 36 years, and in 

 that time lost all but one colony. In the 

 course of 10 years I again lost all but one. I 

 built up each time from the single colony. 

 I live till spring I will be 79 years old.

If 



Rains in California. 



We have just had more rain in the nick of 

 time. If there comes as much in February 

 and more in the last of March there will be a 

 crop, either large or small, according to the 

 amount of rain in March. In this locality 

 about one-half, or more than that, of the col- 

 onies, are dead. But there are enough left.

" Tlie Survivai of tlie Fittest." 



April 1, 1903, I had on hand 84 colonies, 

 and produced 4000 pounds of comb honey and 

 increased to 148 colonies. I left these un- 

 packed on the summer stands all winter, 

 knowing that they would survive a common 

 winter with very little loss. But. alas! the 

 uncommon winter caught them and they 

 starved and froze to death with from 10 to 30 

 pounds of honey in their hives. 



May 10, 1904, I took inventory of stock and 

 found I had only 7 queens and about 3 quarts 

 of bees left. This now constituted my entire
