There really is no more evidence at the mammnu:mvunnuyar- pare with others of the union in the | ang possibilities of honey production, it does offer opportunity to make a living | also out of bees alone. Those parts of Con- necticut ~which are covered with the ground moraines of ancient glacial sheets are localities where one can count with almost certainty upon an annual crop of honmey. It is here where the sumac abounds. This plant blooms in July and weather conditions almost never conspire to cause a fail- ure in its nectar secretion. Thus, al- though we cannot boast the tremen- dous honey yields which we hear about as occurring in other parts of the country, we almost never have to be- moan a total failure as those more blessed localities do. The parts of Connecticut which lack the stony pastures and hence lack the sumac fre not so reliable. The honey sources are scattered and various. They may combine in some years to produce a good crop, while not infrequently they merely keep the bees alive till another year. Huckleberry, clover, lo- cust and fall flowers (golden rod and asters) are the sources to be reckoned with in almost all parts of the state. Then there are places wheree the tulip tree is abundant enough to influence the crop, and a few favored localities have the basswood. Question of Income. Where an aplary has access to a large arceage of sumac and is also within reach of basswood and 'good fall sources, it is ideally situated. Such a location will bear the stress of a large apiary, even 200 colonies. could alone care for such an apiary. ‘With a helper he could run that apiary and one or two out-apiaries, caring for from 300 to 400 colonies. He could count on an average of $5 per colony per year. In some years he would barely make a living, in others he ;‘fllalodo put into the bank from $1,000 to me had better mot try to make a living from bees alone in a locality where the sumac does not grow. He would be almost doomed to failure. Where sumac alone is depended upon it would be perfectly safe to de- pend entirely upon the bees, but the income, though certain, would not be large. ~As this plant, c, is the great honey producer of Connecticut, and Js widely scattered over the state, from now on my statements should be understood as dealing with keeping bees where sumac is & source of honey. Won’t Mix With General Farming. Though beekeeping Is a business that can be combined with other pursuits, general farming is not one of those pursuits. Many of those present may wish me to say otherwise, but accord- ing to my view the average farmer had_better let someone else produce his honey for him. There is an old no- tion that Is hard to kill, namely, bees are something that will take care of themselves, and the farmer need only get the honey when he chooses. This was a truth when bees were kept in box hives. _All that the farmer had to do was to hive such swarms as he happened to notice and then in the fall of the year ‘take up” some of the hives. But the farmer now feels that he must buy a modern hive, think- ing to run that modern hive just as his father or grandfather ran the box hive. Result, failure. I say here, as I have saig elsewhere, if a farmer must keep bees, let him keep them in box hives just as of old. Both he and others “will be the gainers. Why, even though a farmer might wish to keep bees in the modern way, is he doomed to failure? For just this reason: Those very times when the bees will Tequire the most careful attention are the times when the farmer can give them no attention. One cannot let his corn and hay crops be sacrificed for the bees. Modern Methods for Big Results. It might be stated here, for the bene- fit of those who are not fully versed in modern apiculture,; that an apiarist of today expects to get from 75 to 150 pounds of honey per hive, while 1 the old days & farmer was delighted to get 10 pounds Modern hives have de this possible, but modern hives E: on ancient principles are not going give even 10 pounds to the hive. It is_only by combining modern methods with modern hives that the aplarist of today gets big results. It was that cambination that enabled Dr. Miller, the sage of Morengo, to get 402 sections of honey from one colony two years ago. He averaged 287 sections per col- ony, and he was over 80 years of age at that time. It is that combination that has enabled me this present sea- son to make some colonies pass the 150 section mark. Chickens and Beekeeping. Poultry is a possible business to combine with beekeeping. Modern poultry raising calls for lively work for m: ‘weeks the year, but the time, the chickens are large enough to require less attention. If one can like both the keeping of poultry and the keeping of bees, then this should be an ideal combination. But rare is the man or woman who can serve both those masters. He is pretty' sure to hate one of them. Raising Small Fruits Combines Well. to market. The stress of work with the bees would fall with the stress of work with the vegetables, and one of three things would break down—the market gardening, the beekeeping, or the beekeeping-market gardener. There are other rural pursuits which might be mentioned, but to cover all the ground would be tedious. What of the professional pursuits? Does not literature abound with instances of bees being kept by school teachers and clergymen? Why s0 many teachers keep bees and why so many ministers find pleasure in the same property is a deep question, possibly more ethical than otherwise. That many persons of these two professions do find great pleasure in the keeping of bees is be- yond question—can they also find financial profit in the same? Teachers Could Keep Sees. Custom has given to the teacher a long summer vacation, and custom also gives the clergyman a fairly long vacation. Also, both these profes- sions call for short hours of undivided attention. It thus follows that men of these professions find it possible to care for a rather large number of col- onies of bees without interference with their professional duties. It is especially true in Connecticut that beekeeping can be taken up by teachers. As the big honey flow comes in July, while school is not in session, the teacher can give his whole atten- tion to his bees. He must adopt some system of beekeeping which will allow him to glve but little attention to his bees while school is keeping. His af- ternoons and his Saturdays are more or‘less at his disposal, and he can manage to keep his bees going through the spring months. He must be com- placent over the loss of swarms. But if swarms do get away in May, his July crop is still safe. Several colonies of mine which sent off a swarm in May gave me this year 60 and 70 sections. From one point of view my loss of swarms the past spring might be reck- oned as serious, amounting to possibly $125. But that is not loss in my case, for it is one of the certainties when beekeeping and school teaching are combined. If, in spite of those run- away swarms in May, I can produce several thousand sections of honey without letting the two businesses come into actual interference, then it is proved that beekeeping and certain professions can be happily combined. A Noble Pursuit. Beekeeping itself is a noble pursuit. ‘There are some pursuits which dwarf a man’'s nature, which embitter his soul, or render callous his opportuni- ties for growth. One might possibly in the keeping of bees apply himself 80 closely and keep his mind so cen- tered upon the flnancial slde of the business that he would become sordid. There are Instances of this. But in my wide acquaintance with beekeepers I find them far from sordid. I find them bright of eye, mellow in character and alert in interest. There is some- thing about work amomgst the bees that keeps one mind young. The dear old man out in Marengo, IlL, cails him- self 83 years young. Our own dear old man from Madison, this state, who has kept bees over 60 years. is one of the Jolliest spirits at our meetings. Keeps Close to Nature. ‘Apiculture keeps us close to nature. ‘We came from the earth, and we must get into it once in a while to keep ourselves in trim. The city man runs off to the seashore, or to the moun- tains. He gets new life from his fish- ing trip, and his tramps through the woods yleld him energy to carry on his strenuous work in the city. His way is a mighty good one, but it has a weakness. He takes his medicine all in a dose. Livingstone, in his early African travels, tried the experiment of giving out to his native porters a week's supply of food, supposing each man would look out for his own. Each man did so by eating his entire week's rations at the night's camping place. For the busy city man to get all of his touch with nature at once and go ‘without it for 11 months is question- able policy. Is it not that beekeeping in sprinkling the touch of nature along over the months gives us the best re- sults? So it is not a livelihood alone ‘which comes from the bees. Keeping bees as a business brings in the train of financial galn, profits whtch cannot be balanced up on the It ‘When one can put happiness down - units, health in figures, and measure out whole-souled lives by gallons then one can state in numbers the galn which beekeeping affords.

NO ORDERS FOR MILITIA MOBILIZATION General Cole and Colonel McCabe Deny Military Rumors. Regarding the proposed mobilization of the state militia this fall at the camp ground at Niantic, both Adju- tant General Cole and Col. Charles McCabe of the Second regiment de- nied Thursday that there was any- thing in the report that the militia would be mobilized this fall at some central camp. When the officers of the Second regiment were at the East Hawen range they discussed this move at some length, and declared at that time that the Connecticut militia would be mobilized to learn just how long It would take to get the soldier boys together in time of war. General Cole stated Thursday that he had heard absolutely mothing from the war department about mobilizing the National Guard, and that he e was ungble to state upon what the rumor was based. He said further that he had received no instructions from ‘Washington dealing with the Con- necticut militia in the present war 1s. MRS.
