 need apiarists in the fullest sense of the word. Or- 

 egon ought to be one of tlie finest honey-producing 

 localities in the world. It rains considerably here 

 in winter; yet here it is Dec. 8, and roses are in 

 bloom out if doors; and on Sunday, Dec. 6, we saw 

 cultivated blackberries and straw^berries in bloom.
