THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



road winds around mountains and 

 ever mesaj until one wonders how 

 the valley was ev* r found at all. 

 Lying at an elevation of six to nine 

 thousand feet it is blessed with 

 abundant rains and mountain water 

 for irrigation. The grass upcn the 

 mountain sides is hip high — it is 

 the stockman's paradise — the for- 

 est reserves are all about, in fact 

 the valley lies in a great reserve. 

 The pasturage upon the range is to 

 be had upon a small rental and each 

 rancher may cut out for his own 

 use more than fifteen thousand 

 feet of lumber each year. Alfalfa 

 thrives, for many thousands of tons 

 are needed to feed the stock during 

 the winter. Sweet clover grows lux- 

 uriantly all over the hills and waste 

 places. Nearly every , ranch has its 

 apiary and honey house close to the 

 rear of the dwelling house, presum- 

 ably so the housewife may put up 

 sections, or clean and pack honey 

 when household duties do not need 

 her attention. Last August it was 

 my pleasure to look in upon the 

 work being done in these honey 

 houses, with the housewife presid- 

 ing at the packing table preparing 

 the honey for market. I'he children 

 perhats would be cleaning the 

 honey or the emptied supers. Honey 

 and cattle, I was told by rancher 

 after rancher were their money 

 crops. You see they had to produce 

 crops that could be profitably taken 

 twenty-five miles to the railroad. 

 The homes in these valleys are of 

 a higher standard than any district 

 I have been in for a long time. 

 Many had hot and cold water in 

 their homes, nice ranges and 

 kitchen cabinets were much in evi- 

 dence. Beekeeping and honey pro- 

 duction has been standardized, 

 they cooperate in selling and buy- 

 ing. Apiary inspection is liberally 

 supported, and while foul brood at 

 one time destroyed hundreds of 

 colonies, a case of disease is hard 

 to find at the present time. Con- 

 ditions such as these are keeping 

 the brains in the country. 



If bee-culture is to grow and ex- 

 pand or even hold its own the 

 apiarist must be as prosperous as 

 his neighbor of equal ability. His 

 sons will not take up beekeeping
