The raising of bees, like nil otlnv industries, has fell the advantages of modern inventions and improve ments. Instead of the old straw hive, with an extra swarm of bees and live or six pounds of honey per year, the modern lee farmer is not satisfied with less than threeswarnis of bees from his one colony, while he gets fioin this same colony all the way from fifty to seventy-live pounds of honey. Having often hoard of the suc cessful bee farm of Mr. laspor Young, who resides in the edge of the timber east of the new fair grounds, n Hkkalo reporter was de tailed to look over and enquire into Mr. Young's methods. We found his bees nicely located in a natural grove ne.ir the house, consisting of eighty-live stands or colonies, as apiarists call them of the famous Italian bees. The hives were all facing the east, in order to catch the first riiysoffhe morning sun. The hives' were all double and were filled in with chaff, thus 'making them warm for winter and cool for summer, and doing away with the expensive method of wintering in a bee house or cellar, ns in this house they require no looking after at alb in the coldest weather. Mr. Young uses movable frames in all his hives and puts in a foundation of bees-wax, which some inventive Yankee has made to look exactly like the genuine comb made by the bees themselves. , In his twenty years' experience Mr. Young has learned much that is of interest in relation to the habits of the "busy bee," whose sex is generally of the neuter gender and whose sole ambition is to pile up a miserly store of incomparable sweets. The only female in the whole hive is the Oueen, and she is the crowned and undisputed boss of the whole ranch; there is no Mormon business about the bees on that side of the house. The drones are the male bees, from twenty to fifty being often found in one hive; but when they get too thick as they are idlers the little workers kill them off au:l eject them from the hive Mr. Young not only markets large quantities of line honey, but he sells (Jueeus and new colonies all over the west. He sent several stands to Arizona some time ago which were delivered in good condition, al though they had to be hauled a number of miles by wagon. His stands of pure Italian bees are thoroughly acclimated in this country andean not be surpassed anywhere in the United States. Those desiring to enter into thia profitable and pleasant business can not do better than to purchase their stock of Mr. Young. The 'Young" brand of strained honey is known all over as a synonym for purity and excellence. The honey is not strained, as its name would imply, but large sections of well filled comb are shaved over with a sharp knife, removing the caps of the honey cells; it is then placed on end in a large tin can on a revolving disc, which is made to whirl around with such rapidily as to throw the nonry an otu 01 tne como. A very cleanly process, which leaves the honey in fine condition for the mar ket. The comb is then returned to the hives and is again filled by the little workers.
