you have traded with him so long, causes you to believe that he is
the cheapest man in town, or perhape he has told you in secret that
he would always give you a special price. Now take a second
thought, and think of the possibilities of a CASH STORE. Think of
their ability to undersell the man who buys on a credit and sells on
a credit at a loss of from 10 per cent, to ad infinitum, Of course his
paying customers must meet this deficiency. This is only one item

IT PAYS TO KEEP HOOS.
It is a mistake for any
not to keep live stock of some kind.
Almost all farmers appreciate the
profit there is in cows, and the fact
that they maintain the good condi
tion of the soil and tend to add
wealth in more ways than one.
But how is it about hogs ? They
go well with the dairy, It was a
mistake to get scared at the time
when hog cholera prevailed—at
least to get so scared as to give up
hogs altogether. We know a great
many farmers who made money out
j of hogs the past year. Hog chol- j
j era has not prevailed so extensive¬
as in some years in the past.
But it seems to be the fact that
on many farms not a single hog is
to be found. As some one has said,
these farmers are throwing away
enough milk and refuse from the
table to keep a good sow or two,
and, besides raising their own
meat, have a nice little bunch to
sell each year. ( « The idea seems
to prevail among a great many,’’
sa /j this writer that unless you
own or are operating a large farm,
there is no place for the hog. This
is a very mistaken idea. There
can be just as much made in pro¬
portion with hogs upon small
farm as on a large one.
“Few are the farms l it matters
not h^size) that will not supp O’
a brood sow or two and do it wel),
with scarcely any other fetd than
the milk, parings and refuse from
th^ table and a liberal supply of
grass. Sows kept in this manner
will, as a rule, have more pigs, and
they will also be healthier and
stronger. Alter the sows have
their pigs, push them along and do
not let them become stunted, be¬
cause a pig stunted when it is lit j j
tie will never make the hog it
iuauU continually nl growing. n J -» J 1 1 After . * the . j

Keeping bees is a pleasant and
classic occupation, sanctioned by
poets in all ages ; moreover, and to
the practical modern this is far
more important, it is a paying bus
iness when scientifically conducted.
The number of beekeepers in this j
country is estimated at about 300,-1
000, and they sell annually some '
3.000,000 or 4.000,000 pounds of
their sweet produce. In every
state of the union they may be
found, but Florida, California, Col
orado, New Mexico, Arizona, Mich¬
igan, Wisconsin and central and
northern New York, are the great
beekeeping sections, Wherever
great quantities of basswood, buck¬
wheat and, of course, clover, are
found, there beekeeping means a
pretty good income. Some farm
ers have 1,500 to 3.000 colonies un
der their care, and have reduced

desert, ’ the honey J crop ‘ is as sure as
anything cau well be—even the
proverbial L, , “death and taxes,
Elsewhere the clover crop may , be
ruined by rain or drouth, but there
the sun is sure to shine and theca
nals are sure to irrigate, so that
lack of clover is practically impos
sible. And it is alfalta clover, too,
of which four crops are certain
every year. Under these conditions
it is not surprising to find in Ari- j
zona and similar states whole coun
ties keeping bees as in other
parts of the country people culti
vate farms. It is, in fact, the only
certain thing in that ill-favored
land, as the alfalfa clover is the |
one green thing that cau coax a
livelihood out of inhospitable soil.
Maeterlik has written a book .
about the bee; perhaps some phi
losopher will one day rise to sing
the praises of the clover, living
where nothing else can grow, and,
alone of all “weeds,” enriching the
•oil which gives it life, Arizona
folk may not be philosophers, but
they are properly grateful to the
kindly blossom.
If the story of the clover is some¬
what romantic, that of the beeswax
is hardly less so. Several hundred
thousand pounds of beeswax are
produced every year, and prices are
steady and conservative. Much of
:t goes into commonplace uses,
Shoemakers, dentists, thread man
ufacturers and the like use much oi
it, and cannot use anything iu its
place ; glassworkers, too, require it
for moulding purposes ; but the in
teresting part of the beeswax bus¬
1
iness comes when it is exported to
1 Russia. The Greek church uses
I nothing but pure beeswax for its
candles ; this, apparently, is an ec
clesiastical law. So beeswax is
! exported in enormous quantities to
; burn in Russian churches. When
the price is low—-26 or 27 cents—
all that can be produced is bought
up for exportation. It is distinctly
an interesting career, this of the
beeswax, beginning with the irri¬
gation of a desert and ending as the
candles flicker before an eastern
shrine.—New York Tribune.
