and not the egg, that determines the sex Of
the bee. This summer, wishing to stop the
excessive swarmiug from one particular hive,
he cut from the combs all the queen cells,
leaving those for the dronos aud neuters.
Soon afterward he discovered that the bees
were converting some Of the neutor cells iuto

sprinkle it on currants, potatoes, or other

buttermilk makes the powder stick to the

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture Of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making Of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of
silver case was made of several pieces Of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount Of cutting and soldering, which
soitened the metal and gave it the pliability
Of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
Of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
Of one solid piece Of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softensit.
To test the superiority Of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one Of o. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while a case of same
weight Of any other make will give enough
TO break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

SALT AS HUMAN FooD Some of those su
pertiuous individuals who are constantly de-
nouncing as unfit for human food articles on
which mankind has thrived for centuries
have now discovered that salt is a dreadful
thing to take into ones stomach. and declare
their intention of Abandoning it's use. To
these persons the London Lancet deyotes a
paragraph, doubtless fearing that. unless
promptly suppressed, they will organize So
ciety and bold annual conventions. Com

So much has been written about the alarm

disasters likely to follow the wholesale cutting
Of timber, that the minds of the people are
pretty thoroughly impressed with the folly Of

that some thinkers on tho subject view the
matter in a light which is calculated to mti-

fact that other materials have been substitut

destruction Of the pine forests would not APP

THE APPLE CRoP. There is widespread
complaint of a deficient apple crop. The
Country Gentleman, specializing upon the
subject, says; The partial failure last season
of the apple crop, in the usual abundant or
even year. induced the hope that the trees
which were relieved then would bear well the
present season, and this hope was increased
when many of them were seen well covered
with blossoms in spring. But since that time
large portions Of the partly grown apples have
fallen, and orchards which promised fair crops
in some parts of the country will have little
or none. This result may be partly owing to
the unfayorable influence of the abundant
rains. but without doubt insects, and particu-
larly the codling moth, have had full share
in the work. We are led to this opinion by
observing but few apples remaining on the
trees of neighbors where a full blossoming
promised a good return, and where nothing
was done to check the insects while in our
own orchard, which was sprayed three times
with Paris green soon after the blossoms had
fallen, and as showers successfully washed it
off, very few apples have fallen, and "a fair
crop is promised at the present time

BEANS. The Sanitariau is loud ia its
praises Of beans rs q food. 1t says: The uu
trtive value Of beans is very great greater
than almost any other article of food IN com
mon use. Considering their richness they
are probably the cheapest food we have. but
somewhat difficult Of digestion, probably
owing to the fact that We rarely cook them
enough and masticate them insuficientlv. In
preparing beans for the table they should
first be well soaked in cold water and then
thrown into boiling water and cooked until
OF medium consistency between a fluid
and solid, neither too thick nor too thin.
They require some acid on them when eaten
and sufficient amount Of salt TO render them
palatable. They may be eaten with potatoes
or other vegetables, which contain more
starch and less Rlbumen, rather than with too
much bread and meat. In Germany there il
