Do bees injure fruits
This oft-repeated question was auswe
ed recently by Professor @. T. Kelley
the Bee-Keepers' Council in st. Loui
He said that the construction of bee
mouth is similar to that of wasp
and that both are capable of I'M urir
fruit this the wasp often does, but ii
bees but rarely, excepting, indeed,
times of severe drought. He did n
consider this fact as any argume
against the usefulness of the insect,
the exercise of its power as polleniz
is of great value to the orchardist, ev,
though it occasionally commits depr
dations upon fruit.
To Dry Sweet Corn.
Select ears of corn that are Just rig
for the table, husk them, throw the
into boiling water, and let them b.
hard five minutes; then cut the co
from the ear, spread it evenly and thi
ly on earthen or new tin dishes, al
subject it at once to the heat of the MOI
ing sun, or place it in an oven of u
varying temperature, where the proce
of drying will begin at once and
promptly completed. The sooner it
dried after it is cut from the cob t
better, and the sooner it is prepared aft
it is gathered the better.
