XXI. Making a LiTlng With Bees.
Bee keeping certainly does par,
else so many persons would not Vo
engaged In It It also pays better
In some places than in others, as
southwestern - Texas and southern
California. The quantity of bee pas
turage in a given section of coun
try mainly determines the success of
the business there. One of the first
things, then, is to find out all the
nectar-bearing plants in your vieinlty
-and determine the possibilities of the
business on that score.
It is evident that bee keeping will
more readily pay as a side line than
as exclusive business. In con
nection with other farm lines it can
very easily be made to bring in its
proportional part of the profit With
out much difficulty it ought to be
made to pay as well "as poultry. Bees
come in very nicely with poultry,
gardening, and fruit In a good
locality the business can also be made
to pay well when practiced exclusive
ly. Tennessee bee keepers have been
known to make $600 a year. In other
parts of the country their incomes
may run as high as $3,000 a year.,
Making a living with bees depends
much also upon the person engaged
in it. Adaptability and love for the

WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY
Tbis Washington & Choctaw Territory of
fers a winderful opportunity "to Northern
farm-reners. who find land prices too high in
their native state, or to the town mn who
wants to ret awy from the city strife and

a pleasant 8outbern home where he can pass
his winters, and. b st of all. to the mn who
wants to invest in lands which re increasing
in price over 2005b a year.' This is the place
to make money.
roneon oHV thl land on long tlm mith
annual payment or on UttU monthly pay
nunUtt $6.00 a month. . " .
THE SOIL. A sandy loam, entirely control-
able and without a Deer in productiveness,
Northern men having successfully tilled it for
fourteen years and made money. .
THEOJMATP. The territory is about 60
miles from the Gulf Toa't. 800 feet elevation
above the sea. Cool in summer, no heat pros
tratjens, and the winters permit out-of-door
work in tee fields, mow bting unknown.
THE RMNFALL averages 69 inches per
I ear; no droughts; no irrigation netded.
THE HEALTHFULNESS. The territory
has been under observation and reported upon
for a number of years by the United States
Marine Hospital Commission, and these re
ports say that it is the only part of the United
States absolutely free irom local diseases.
. THE WATER. Its natural purity is proven
by analysis, 'which shows the water to have
been the purest of 9,000 samples examined by
the University of Illinois. ,
THE CROPS. Anything can be grown on
the Washington & Choctaw land that can be
raised elsewhere. Crops can te product d
twelve months in the yar, and more corn can
