BEES USEFUL TO FARMERS
Their Distribution of Pollen Makes
of Them Important Aids
in Agriculture,
In proportion to the population,
the number of persons who keep
bees is very small, yet there is no
branch of farming (for it should
be connected with farming) more
profitable at certain seasons than
the keeping of bees. A good,
strong colony in the midst of the
busy season, says the Rochester
Herald, will collect and store four
or five pounds or more of honey
daily, the amount of work done by
the bees depending upon the for
age and tlie strength of the colony.
As soon as a colony becomes weak
and incapable of defense it will be
attacked by t he stronger ones and
robbed. Hence, in order to keep
each hive up to its fullest capacity
the beekeeper must provide plenty
of comb foundation, in order to
lessen the work to be performed,
and sow such crops as will afford
honey later in the season, when
the flowers have finished blossom
ing.
The swarming process is noth
ing more than the departure of the
old queen and her working bees
in order to abandon the hive to
the younger queen and bees. By
being on the alert, and hiving the
swarms as they alight, the mini
ber of colonies may be largely in
creased, but the weak colonies sel
dom swarm. Moths usually at
tack the weak colonies, and only
the stronger colonies are able to
pass safely through the winter.
The common bees may be gradual
ly replaced with the Italian or
Cyprian varieties by removing the
old queen and substituting a new
fertilized queen of either kind pre
ferred. If she is carefully guarded
in a small cage for a few days the
bees soon recognize her. and in the
-
course of a lew months the oln
bees will all be dead, and tlio new
ones will be of the desired kind.
f The queen is compelled to lay 1
numbers of eggs daily in order to
supply the great loss constantly
occurring by the destruction from
birds, storms and other ditticul
1 ies. They should be left plenty of
honey for a winter supply, and the
hives should be well protected
from storms. What the beekeeper
should aim to do is to sow such
crops as will enable t he bees to lay
in a large supply of honey, and he
can well afford to do so if he has
a number of hives. At this season
the bees find plenty to do in work
ing on the flowers, but later the
crop of buckwheat affords ample
forage while it is in blossom. En
terprising beekeepers combine
beekeeping and poultry raising,
finding that a small piece of ground
may in that manner return large
profits. How to manage bees well
cannot he explained in a single
article. All who are interested
should first make themselves fa
miliar with the^dotails before be
ginning by consulting authorities
on the subject. That beekeeping
is a profitable occupation, how
ever, lias been demonstrated satis
factorily to all engaged.
Value of Food and Water.
A horse in good condition can
exist about 25 days without food
if it has plenty of water. If he has
food without water five days
would probably end his existence.
ED. HUEY PAYS PENALTY

City Marshal Lawrence John
son, of Huttig.
El Dorado, Dec. 2.—Ed Huey
paid the death i>enalty here this
morning1 at 8 o’clock, lie was
calm, and showed not the least
fear. After hanging fifteen min
utes he was cut down, and will be
buried tomorrow by his relatives.
Huey was born here and raised at
Prescott, Ark. lie was 27 years
old, and above the average in in
telligence of his race. He was
tried at the October term of court,
and his attorneys appealed to the
supreme court, which denied the
appeal. Sheriff Pendleton was
notified only yesterday evening of
the court’s action. . Huey refused
to make any statement.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CASE.
Lawrence Johnson, city marshal
of Huttig, Union county, was shot
and killed in July, lbo-f. by Ed
Huey. Huey was indicted a:.d

of murder in the first degree. He
was then sentenced by the trial
judge, Judge i . \\ oou, 10 uang
Friday, December 2, at 8 n. m.
His attorneys appealed, and it was
supposed this would give him a
longer time to live, but the su
preme court passed on the case
promptly.

CONDITIONS IN OKLAHOMA
Some Things Seen and Heard by Rev.
J. I. Martin on the Plains
of Oklahoma.
Written For The Journal.
I boarded the train at Chuckaho
November 20th, and a run of
twenty miles brought me to Cush
ing, in Payne county, north of
Chuckaho. Though it is a new
road it is in good condition. We
ran through some good country,
mostly branch bottoms and prairie.
'There are two new towns on this
run, Kindrick and Avery. They
are growing fast.
Crops, as I could see from the
car window, are good. There is
lots of prairie hay raised here. 1
saw a good deal in ricks; some bale
their hay. 1 also saw a good many
cattle and they looked well.
Around Cushing is a wheat
country, to a large extent. 1 saw
many lields of it, but heard some
complaint of a fly injuring it, and
some cotton was cut short by the
boll weevil, but cotton is
where they did not strike it. They
are now paying from 75 cents to
si per hundred for cotton pick
ing.
There is but little fall plowing
done only for wheat. Cushing is
a nice town and growing rapidly.
They have two railroads and two
separate depots.
The business portion of the town
is divided into two parts, known
as the “old" and the “new,” con
sequently there is some rivalry,
which hinders its growth. It
stands out on the prairie and can
be seen for miles. A large per
cent of the business houses are
built of stone. They have two
banks, and a good business is done
here, i consider it an inviting
field.
A drive of five miles brought
me to Frank Harman's but sorry
he was not at home. He is one of j
the best farmers, and has a nice
family. After supper his son
caught his team and he and his
sister drove me to Mrs. G. W.
Harman’s, Mrs. Martin’s sister.1
Her husband died last May. It
was getting late in the night and
my coming was a perfect surprise.
She has three children with her,
two sons and a daughter. Next
day, November 21, we visited her
son, William. He is running a
nursery and is doing a big busi
ness. Th;s is delivery time and:
they were very busy. I was glad I
to find them doing so well.
The Senerou river, which flows ,
nearby, i- a peculiar stream. It
is salt water and contains quick
sand. It is broad and shallow,
with very low banks, and changes
its course often. This makes it;
November the 22d, I visited an
other one of her children, Mrs. j
Ernma Morgan, whose husband is j
a good farmer and doing well. He
has recently bought a good farin’
which cost him $1,')00. They have ;
three children. After a most;
pleasant visit, other engagements
called me away, so 1 bid them;
good-bye November 23d.
W ill say more about Oklahoma
in my next. .). I. Martin.
BOY KILLS HIS BROTHER.
Midland, Ark., Dec. 2.—With ft j
Winchester rifle a son of .John
Brownley, a miner living north
west, of Midland, accidentally shot
and killed his younger brother;
yesterday afternoon. The acci
dent occurred in an unusual way.
The boy with the rille was in the
yard, and shot at a bird just as his
brother came hurriedly out of the
house, directly in range. The
younger lad was shot in the shoul
der and the ball went through the
body. The wound produced death
[ in about three hours.
