lar farmer, but there is also a wide field of the bee man 

 on these projects where everything tends toward special- 

 ization and where the farmers organize for the standard- 

 ization and marketing of their crops. On nearly all the 

 projects small tracts for the purpose may be purchased at 

 reasonable rates. On many of them there are model 

 towns laid out at intervals of a few miles. The business 

 lots are grouped around a central square, and near the 

 outer boundaries of the town sites the lots contain several 

 acres each. These large lots, surrounded by wide areas 

 of new agricultural lands devoted largely to the raising 

 of alfalfa, are ideal locations for apiaries. They are sold 

 at very reasonable rates, and afford opportunities for en- 

 gaging in a business which pays large returns on the in- 

 vestment. The average price of bees in the West is prob- 

 ably about $5 a hive. The manager of a large apiary on 

 one of the irrigated tracts gives the average production of 

 his hives as 76 pounds of surplus honey per annum. At 

 ten cents per pound the returns would be $7.60. In addi- 

 tion to that the increase averages 100 per cent from year 

 to year, doubling the original investment and making a 

 total of about 150 per cent profit each year on the original 

 investment. 



The statistician of the Reclamation Service at Wash- 

 ington, D. C, will furnish detailed information concerning 

 lands irrigated by the government upon request. 



DESERT LANDS. 



Where final proof on a desert land entry has been 

 rejected by the Commisioner of the General Land Office 

 and appeal is taken to the Secretary of the Interior, 

 accompanied by affidavits submitting new proof, which 

 has not been considered by the Commissioner, the case 

 will be remanded again to the Commissioner for adjudica- 

 tion upon the new record.

SOME IMPORTANT CON- 

 CRETE WORK DONE BY 



CHICAGO IMPROVED 



CUBE MIXERS 



They are used exclusively on the Panama 

 Canal. Sixty of the Panama machines are the 

 largest batchmixers ever built, holding 64 cu. ft. each. 



The Los Angeles Aqueduct (240 miles long and 

 to cost $30,000,000) used forty-seven Cube Mixers. 



On the Michigan Central Railroad Tunnel 



under the Detroit River, the concrete was mixed 

 exclusively in Cube Mixers. 



Thirty-two railroads in the United States are 

 using Cube Mixers. 



The Imperial Government of Japan specifies 

 Cube Mixers on all its concrete work. 



What the Improved Cube Mixer Will Do 



IN speed of charging; in speed of mixing; in speed of discharg- 

 ing; in uniformity of concrete; in concrete strength; in cost 

 of operation; in cost of maintenance; in capacity of output the 

 Chicago Improved Cube Mixer will outclass any other type or 

 make of mixer day in and day out, year after year. It is for 

 these reasons that leading engineers everywhere specify that con- 

 crete on their work shall be mixed with our Improved Cube Mixer.
