the county jail, or both fine and imprison- 

 ment for the violation of this Act. 



Section 3 provides that when any compe- 

 tent person makes a written complaint before 

 a Justice of the Peace where foul brood ex- 

 ists, the Justice of the Peace shall issue a war- 

 rant for the arrest of the offender and try the 

 case in the usual manner. 



Section 4 states that upon conviction the 

 Justice of the Peace shall declare all bees, 

 hives and fixtures infected to be a nuisance, 

 and issue a writ to the constable or sheriff for 

 the iuimediate destruction of the same by 

 burning. 



Section h provides that Justices of the 

 Peace shall have all jurisdiction under this 

 Act, and that costs be assessed as now pro- 

 vided by law. 



In Northwest New Mexico rains have been 

 abundant and prospects for bee-pasture are the 

 best. Alfalfa, sweet clover, and cleome, our 

 main dependents, cin hardly be failures under 

 the conditions. The coldest weather was 1 de- 

 gree above zero, and the bees have had about 

 the usual number of winter flights. Bees 

 with stores and free from foul brood are in 

 fine shape now. A few colonies were lost 

 through starvation, on account of poor condi- 

 tions last year. 



The dearth of honey last season because of 

 the weakness of the bees when the harvest 

 did arrive, will have a tendency to boost the 

 price this year. 



A railroad now in process of construction 

 to this country will open up new markets, 

 give us a way to reach them, remove many of 

 the disadvantages in securing supplies, and 

 promote a big increase in orchards, small 

 fruit, ranches and alfalfa fields. Hauling 

 honey or supplies to or from a railroad station 

 50 miles distant, over rough mountain roads, 

 would cause many of our eastern friends to 

 quit the business. It isn't a snap. With 

 sugar way above the -^r mark at wholesale, 

 and choice comb honey retailing at 8}- cents, 

 we are in no danger of being persuaded to 

 feed our bees sugar; so they will manufacture 

 unatt iiltirnted honey for our customers. Cle- 

 ome and alfalfa are hard to beat, but if we 

 could induce our bees to mis in some of New 

 Mexico's glorious sunshine, you bee-men of 

 the land of fogs would be left as badly in the 

 cold as you were this winter.

Swarming— Wasp's Nest in a Bee- 

 Hive 



My bees commenced swarming last season 

 June 5, and cast 3 swarms each. I have four 

 colonies, 2 of which I wintered on the summer 

 stands, and the other 2 in the house, and all 

 are doing well. One of those inside has built 

 3 square inches of comb. 



I have been experimenting for the past 

 year, and find that when a colony of bees 

 robs another colony they unite, and when a
