pie to decide why the dark wood so highly
valued for furniture should be called
rosewood. Its color certainly does moi
look like rose, SO we must look for some
other reason. We are told that when the
tree is fresh cut the fresh wood possesses 9
very strong rose-like fragrance, hence the
name. There are half dozen or more
kinds of rosewood trees. The varieties
are found in South America and the East
Indies and neighboring islands. Some
times the trees grow SO large that plank
four feet broad and ten in length can be
cut from one of them. These broad planke
are principally used to make the tops Of
piano-fortes. When growing in the for
est the rosewood tree is remarkable for its
beauty, but such is its value in manufact:
ures as an ornamental wood that some Of
the forests where it once grew abundantly
now have scarcely single specimen. n

had great plantations of this tree set ou'
in order to keep up the supply. , ..,- =

Bees ON the Farm.

The prejudice of our forefathers against
bees Is now outgrown with the improve

should be supplied with q few stands of

duced on the farm it is but rarely had at

be had that will increase at the rate of 100
