The greatest crop of honey ever known In Arizona is that of the pres ent year. The average product of the territory la somewhat In excess of 2,000,000 poumlH. This year it will be far In excess of that amount prob ably doublt. The greater parf of this honey will find a market In Chi cago, reports the Chronicle. Strange as It may seem, the mes quite and csct. , whleh flourish with out wnter, provide the bees with n honey fur superior to thai from eul tlvnted pin nt, and the blossom and fruit of the cactus are even better than the tncsqultp blossom. The most handsome of desert flowers grow on the hundreds of varieties of cactus. One of the most beautiful is that of the Co re us (tlganteus, the or gan cactus, generally known by tits Spanish appellation of the "Sagunra," Arizona's most typical plant, that towers in great, green, fluted shafts, the most conspicuous and oddest sub ject on all the plains. In the late springtime each snguara is crowne'd by a mass of brilliant, silken white flowers, sometimes over 100 in a bunch. Each blossom is about four inches across. Nearly all develop to fruit, the "petahaya," the most palatable of the wild products, and in the blossom and the fruit the wild bees and the tamed ones find the es sence of honey. The prickly pear, the night-blooming careus, the eholla, ta'i doubly barbed terror of the deadt, the ocatilla and many others give honey to the beet, while the wild rosea of the rocks and the thousands of smaller flowers aid in furnishing the most delicately flavored honey known to the nplaries. In the Salt Itiver valley bees work for a longer period than in any other locality, a. crop of 200 pounds of honey to ench hive being not unusual, while tin nverage of 100 pounds for the season is tuiiiutnlued.

Neither is his danger end ed there, for If not well protected ' from the onslntight of the bees, some times in dense s warms of thousands, he is likely to become a victim of the angry defenders. Indeed, not long since a I'npngo young man was stung so badly while robbing n wild hive that he died soon after his comrades had pulled him up to the top of the cliff. I On the desert, too, the bees make their homes, sometimes swnrming in I the shell of the decayed cactus and often in caves along nrroyos nnd the beds of the large streams. Very often they swarm close to the ngiiculturnl districts and it Is a frequent and very easy thing for the ranchers to gather thctn into hives and hold tlnin. One rancher a few miles southeast of I'hoeuK has on his property a small iiolntrtl hutte, near the top of which Is a small cave. From this piece of rock the owner has gathered honey enough to pay for his ranch.
