 they will appreciate the low freight ratts obtained by purchas- 

 ing goods from a railroad center nearer to them than we are, get- 

 ting a direct through-freight rate, thus cutting the freight in half,

wheat or oats. If sown early so as to catch 

 the spring rains, I would sow about 18 to 20 

 pounds to the acre; if sown late or with 

 other crops, I would put on 33 pounds ; for 

 if it is sown with grain, and it should hap- 

 pen to be a very thick stand, it may 

 smother some of the alfalfa. It needs more 

 moisture the first season than afterwards. 

 A rain after the grain is taken off will give 

 a vigorous start. With us, i£ we sow it 

 with grain, as soon as the grain is off. we 

 turn the water on for a few hours, and the 

 result is that we soon have a green field. 



Nearly all farm animals will eat alfalfa 

 and grow fat on it, either in its green or 

 dry state; thus, if it does not pay as a 

 honey-plant where it will grow, it will pay 

 as a fotlder crop. Its only danger is bloat 

 when fed in its green and wet state.

 sociation will hold Its annual convention at

 All Interested are invited.

Utali.— The Utah State Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation will holti Its seml-aunual convention 

 In the City and County Building, Salt Lake 

 City, April 5, 1898. at 10 am. A full pro- 

 gram in the interest of the industry will be 

 presented. It Is very desirable to have all 

 parts 01 the State represented. Among other 

 things to be considered IS the transportation 

 and marketing of our products, and also the 

 adoption of the best plan to represent our 

 state at the Trans-Mlssissippl Exposition, and 

 to get our new foul urood law into active op- 

 eration. Every bee-keeper should be inter- 

 ested in these matters. All are cordially in- 

 vited. In case there may be any that cannot 

 attend, we would be pleased to have their 

 address, and have them send In questions on 

 general topics. Several members of the 

 Association have desired us to again call the 

 attention of our bee-keepers to the Langs- 

 troth monument fund. Any who feel able 

 should throw In their mite to mark the last 

 resting-place of this the greatest of all Ameri- 

 can bee-keepers. No one will feel as If It was 

 labor in vain, wno takes a fraternal interest 

 in this desirable object.

Chicago's Fa-rorite Passen- 

 ger Statiou. 



Reasonable success seems to have fol- 

 lowed the efforts of the managemeul of 

 the Nickel Plate Road to make it popu- 

 lar as a passenger line for travel East. 

 It is regarded as a favorite by many in 

 making the journey from Chicago to 

 Eastern points. 



Patrons of that line will be gratified 

 to learn that arrangements have been 

 made, effective Sunday, March 6, for all 

 passenger trains of the Nickel Plate 

 Road to arrive at and depart from the 

 Van Buren St. Station in Chicago. 



The many advantages afforded by this 

 Great Union Depot, located in the heart 

 of the business portion of Chicago, and 

 the continued advantage afforded by 

 lower rates than over other lines, having 

 three Express Trains daily, with through 

 Sleeping Cars to New York and Boston, 

 and the advantage of superior Dining 

 Car Service, when all considered, should 

 show increast travel over the Nickel 

 Plate Road. (8) 11A2
