Great Find of Bee-Trees. 



My bees are doing finely. From three 

 colonies I increast to nine, but saved only 

 seven, and found six bee-trees. One I cut 

 July 25, and took out 105 pounds of honey. 

 From the others I got from 30 to 150 

 pounds. My partner found 40 trees. He 

 cut one last week aud got CS5 pounds. It 

 was a small ash tree. We went with a 

 little tin bucket, but as we sawed in we 

 could feel the saw strike honey. When the 

 tree fell over, the honey extended away 

 down into the root of the tree, all of which 

 we took out, and then we started at the 

 tree. We had to go for more buckets, as 

 the combs ran away up into the tree. I 

 split it open and we took out 16 feet of 

 honey, nice and white. We started to saw 

 at 11 o'clock, and we were through with the 

 job the next morning at fi:30. It was hard 

 work. At first we thought the tree was no 

 good, but it paid to cut it. These were 

 black bees. I took them home, and they 

 are doing finely. 



I have 11 colonies in good condition. 

 Wild and tame buckwheat is in bloom now.

For Business Reasons. 



The United States Department of Labor 

 has just issued a bulletin entitled '"The 

 Economic Aspects of the Liquor Problem." 

 in which a few points are worthy of notice. 

 The first is the change that has occurred in 

 the consumption of liquor. In 1S40 the per 

 capita consumption of distilled spirits was 

 2 .52 gallons. In ISSiJ it was one gallon, or 

 about two-fifths of what it was 55 years 

 ago. But this does not represent the actual 

 decrease in the consumption of spirits as a 

 beverage. In both cases this quantity in- 

 cludes the amount used in arts, manufac- 

 tures, medicines, etc.. which must have 

 been vastly greater in 18110 than it was in 

 IS-tO; so that our people use less than two- 

 fifths as much spirituous liquor as their 

 fathers and grandfathers did. Certainly 

 our elderly readers, who remember the 

 time when no harvest or threshing or barn- 

 raising was without a liberal supply of 

 liquor, will sustain this assertion. 



But there is another side to this con- 

 sumption of intoxicants. While the use of 

 spirituous liquors has decreast, and of 

 vinous liquors has changed little, that of 

 malt liquors has grown at a wonderful 

 rate. In IS40 Americans consumed but 1..S6 

 gallons of malt liquors per capita, while in 

 1S90 they consumed 15.16 gallons. This 

 shows that the tendency has been toward 

 the milder beverages as well as toward the 

 restriction of the use of stimulants. 



But probably the most interesting point 

 in the investigation is that which shows how 

 employers regard the use of liquor by their 

 employes. To questions askt by the Com-
