I have seen the good and bad effects of 

 breeding, as above stated, at different 

 times. Sometimes for want of honey In 

 the fields, and sometimes because of too 

 much, and the brood-chamber was 

 crowded with honey to the exclusion of 

 brood, honey being stored In the brood- 

 comb as hat.^ht out. The extractor is 

 then a pood thing. .T. W. Sanders.

Interested in Bee-Eeeping:. 



I am keeping bees In a small way, 

 having now 20 colonies from a start of 

 "2 a few years ago ; and as I am in the 

 fruit business I expect the bees to be 

 useful to me. I used to be afraid of 

 them, and get Into trouble when I went 

 near them, but I am learning better, 

 and can get along with them better now. 

 I have no ambition to become a bee- 

 man, but I may just as well start right 

 on account of my two sons, who may 

 finally take up ray work. One graduated 

 from the University of Illinois, and may 

 become interested in them. The other 

 son also was there two winters, but yet 

 they take an interest in farm work and 

 fruit. L. N. Beal.

Bees Doing Well. 



My bees are doing well. I had 8 

 strong colonies In the spring, and now I 

 have 22 — lU swarms in May and 4 in 

 June. I had a swarm May 1 1 at 10:80 

 a.m., which I put into a 10-frame hive 

 with a super of 24 sections on top. May 

 IT I took the super off, full of the nicest 

 white clover honey that any one ever 

 saw ; and June 4 I had one of the larg- 

 est swarms I ever saw from that same 

 hive. This beat anything that has hap- 

 pened to me since I first commenced, 

 some 14 years ago. Geo. C. Elli.s.

Working Nicely in Supers. 



It has been very cold and rainy here, 

 but it has turned off warm and white 

 clover Is just coming in. The blossoms 

 are larger than usual. Raspberry and 

 blackberry are just coming also, and 

 bees are working nicely in the supers 

 and swarming slowly ; but when a 

 swarm does come out it Is a whopper — as 

 large as the outside of a 10-frame hive ; 

 but they get in some way. I had one 

 come out and hang In a cluster all night, 

 and we had a thunder shower during 

 the night, but they staid there waiting 

 for me in the morning. It happened to 

 be my birthday, so I had a birthday 

 present — so my wife calls it.

Utah's Pioneer Jubilee — JtUy 20-25. 



This is Utah's jubilee year, and the 

 dream of the pioneer has been fully re- 

 alized. The great American Desert, 

 where 50 years ago the red man roamed 

 with the buffalo, the bear, deer, and the 

 wolf, now teems with civilization, with 

 beautiful towns and cities — where 50 

 years ago scarcely anything grew but 

 wild sage, salt grass, and grease wood. 

 But the desert has been made to blossom 

 as the rose, and instead of the cricket 

 and the grasshopper, which sometimes
