box Of the largest and best favored Concord
grapes We have ever eaten. The punches were
perfect and the berries unusually large. Mr.
lieilig has large number Of bees and these grapes
were grown directly over the apiary, not one Of
them having been punetured BY the bees. In
the box was also q bunch Of Delaware grapes
with which Mr.. Heiiig had experimented. lie
placed the grapes directly In front Of the aper.
turc Of one Of the hives, where the bees passed
over Il for . whole day. and not = single berry
vas touched. lie then slit Of the berries
with his knife and allowed them 60 remain for
some time longer. Those cut had the juice suck.
Ell from them while the others remained perfect.
This. he thinks. proves eonelusivsly that bees do
not damage grapes.

hute. and singing Of their lore of one another I'M
Ill the declining afternoon sun made them 60 in
and milk the cows.
But this Arcadia Of to-day, with all is rural
beauty, Is of fact place. after all. People
arc looking for gold outside Of buttercups and
daisies. and. rs everywhere else, people have 90
bare their arms and strike blow for living. No
doubt the boys pipe sweet music 20 the girls and
whisper sweet nonsense. but these dulcet employ
ments arc engaged in after the cows are MIXED.
