boom, but simply more in the nature of an advertisement of the 

 business as it exists in this territory. To boom the industry here 

 would be a sin against those now engaged in the pursuit, and a 

 wrong to any prospective locators. The field is being systematically 

 occupied by apiarists distributing their stock to the best advantage 

 and to best utilize the pasture. The year of J 889 has not been 

 equaled since in either yield or prices, and possibly will not be again 

 in many years. There is no doubt a fair income to be made from 

 the business, but it will require a careful and judicious management 

 and strict business principles.
