 :i.5 miles from Los Angeles. Mr. S. U. W., 

 the owner of this Apiary, extracted and sold, 

 in 1884, beween May and Sept., 86 tons of 

 honey,and left 12 tons in the hives, which was 

 extracted in Feb., 188.i, making 98 Ions 

 from 552 colonies, and increased the Apiary 

 to 1,200 colonies. This Apiary is in one of 

 the very best localities for honey in the 

 State, out of reach of fruit and other bees. 



The Siml Kaiitli of 86,000 acres, is now 

 being subdivicled, and will be offered to 

 actual settlers in »iiltable tracts. 



The Apiary pay* a rental of $80 i»er

 Stock-Raising and Farming can be carried 

 on at the same time. The liive is a mova- 

 ble-frame hive, and has an upper and lower 

 chamber; the lower chamber has 12 brood- 

 frames, and the upper has 10 store-combs, 

 and are all full of honey; were not extracted 

 this year. There are 200 extra lilvesand

 DwellingHouse, 10-ton Tank, a reversible 8-
