idea with good cheer, and if their present 

 feelings do not wane within the next two 

 or three mouths the Churchill County Bee- 

 keepers ' Association will have a well- 

 equipped hospital far enough isolated from 

 any apiary to eliminate all danger of con- 

 tagion, where the beekeepers can properly 

 treat their sick bees without endangering 

 the lives of the healthy ones.

Nectar From Before the iloosevelt dam 

 First Crop was built we had a drj- wiu- 

 of Alfalfa. ter around Phoenix, with but 

 little rainfall. The alfalfa was 

 stunted, and the blooms so short that the 

 bees could reach the honey; therefore a good 

 crop of honey and seed was produced from 

 lirst croj). Our Buckeye valley was supplied 

 with sufficient water from the underflow at 

 the head of our canal system, so that our 

 alfalfa was irrigated and was so rank that 

 the bees got no honey from the blooms, and 

 we received no seed nor honey from the 

 first crop, but cut it for hay. Our second 

 crop in the Buckeye valley, being produced 

 at a time when it was warmer, with less ir- 

 rigation water, yielded heavily in both hon- 

 ey and seed. Where w^ater is plentiful many 

 farmers ruin their seed and honey crop dur- 



ing the entire summer by over-irrigation, 

 making the blooms so long that the bees 

 cannot reach the honey. Red clover is the 

 same way. B. A. Hadsell.

Religion and It is sometimes said that re- 

 Business, ligion and politics will not 

 mix, and that religion and 

 business do not go well together. It would 

 seem as tho much depended on how they 

 are mixed. After reading A. I. Root 's expe- 

 rience with hotel pri«es of lodgings, page 

 754, I was reminded of a story I heard not 

 long ago. A merchant wishing to exert a 

 wholesome influence over his clerks told 

 them that after every sale they should re- 

 peat a passage of Scripture. One day a 

 woman came into the store inquiring for a 

 certain kind of dress goods. A clerk showed 

 her a sample that had sold for $2.00 per 

 yard. She inquired if they would sell it for 

 six dollars per yard. The clerk said they 

 would, and completed the trade. The clerk 

 reported his sale to the proprietor. "Did you 

 repeat a passage of Scripture after the 

 sale?" was asked. He certainly liad. "What 

 was it?" "She was a stranger and I took 

 her in."
