Do Bees Punctnre Granes2

This old question was discussed as toll
lows at. the May meeting of the Oxford
Farmers Club, Ohio:
DR.. LDgee did not believe that bees gen.
orally will cut the skin of grapes, but IN
der certain conditions he knows they will.
He has spent much time watching with
glass in hand and finds that his grapes
are preyed upon by his neighbors' bees.
He considers the village bee as big nui-
sance as the village COW. Around Oxford
and in the village there are hundreds of
hives Of bees. This being the home of
Mr.. LangstrOth, he has imbued his friends
with a love of beekeeping, so that there
are amateur beekeepers by the score.
The result is, there are more bees than
there is pasture for in the fall Of the year,
where we have few fall-blooming plants.
In the North, where golden rcd and such
other tall boomers afford pasture, ana
where grapes do not ripen so freely, the
bees do not resort to the grapes for food
and stores. The conditions about Oxford
are peculiarly urgent for the busy bee to
improve every chance for making a living.
The keepers of village COWS dOnOt provide
pasture, so the hungry bru5es become eX-
pert in opening gates and bunting forage.
The bees in the village are unprOVided for
by their owners, and the enterprising lit
tie fellows trespass on the grapes and
pears of the neIghbOrs.
Mrs. Homer said Gen Cary keeps bees
and also makes grapes a speciality, and he
says bees do not cut grape skins, but it is
done by bird.
DR.. Logee replies, yes, it is the old story,
"MY dog don't kill sheep" but has seen
the bees cut the skin Of grapes, and it is
absurd to say they cannot do it when they
can cut paper, cloth and even a board
with their mandibles. If beekeepers
would keep bee pastures Of buckwheat,
golden rod and the like, the bees would
not harm grapes. Necessity leads all ami
mails and insects to do their utmost to sus-
tain life. The bee will rob and cut grapes
rather than starve.

Spontaneous Combustion.


A curious incident happened in the yard
OF the MerTimack Manufacturing Com
pany yesterday. 1t was a case Of spOn-
famous combustion. No damage was
done. and the occurrence would not be
especially noteworthy but for the pecu-
liar circumstances under which it took
place. An old logrOller used in a wash
ing machine in the dye house had been
condemned because it was worn from age.
The iron rod running through the centre
of the log, by means Of which the roller
revolved upon its bearings, was surround
ed by sulphur to prevent the wood from
rOtting quickly by the ready contact with
water which the iron rod alone would
allow, and also to make the parts Of the
roller hold firmly together. When the
roller was condemned it was taken out
into the yard and split open to separate
the wood from the iron. The parts were
not removed but were left in the sun.
Some chips among the refuse were dis
covered burning about an hour atteward.
It created no little surprise at hrst that
wood should take fire by simply being eX-
posed TO the sun. An explanation was
subsequently arrived at. In splitting the
log pieces of sulphur were also broken
from the rod. chemical action, made
easy bv the long and intimate connection
of the sulphur with the iron rod (the lat
ter had rusted considerably, had been
partially completed and needed only the
burning rays OF the sun to produce perfect
combustion. The contact of the sulphur
with the OXidizing iron formed sulphide of
iron, afterWard changing to sulphate,
which is very sensitive to igniting agents.
The warming of flour and the conse-
quent abstraction of the moisture adds
greatly to its durability.

To Destroy Weeds.

The soil is as prone to weeds as man to
sin, and 1t is possible that some men have
been provoked to sin by weeds. How to
eradicate them is an important question.
Could they once be cleared out, and there
be probability OF their remaining so, the
farmer could go at them cheerfully, hope
fully; but quite the contrary is the eXpe-
rience of all. Land that has grown moth
ing but timothy and clover for twenty
years will produce spontaneous growth
of pigeon grass, rag weeds, PIC weeds,
etc., If put under the plOW for u few years.
Cutting the pests before they go to seed
is the common remedy offered; but it
takes vigilant committee for each farm
to do that if all weeds are to be kept down.
The plan we adopted has proven satisfac-
tory, and that is not to till any piece Of
land long enough for the weeds to get pos
session of the soil. Sod is turned for corn;
the second year for corn or any other crop
most desired; the third to wheat or oats
and stock down. Where convenient, it is
a good plan to turn under crop of clover,
then seed again. The second piece Of sod
land is turned, and by the time that is
ready to be stocked the first is ready for
the pillow again. 1t will be seen by this
method that manuring is not necessary.
We do not believe in the use of manure on
land used for hold crops, for the seeds in
the fertilizer add to the labOrs of the farm
er. We use manure upon the grass land
and get the benefit Of it in the increased
production Of hay, and also in the growth
of corn when the land is turned for til
lage.
Farmers depend too generally upon their
barnyard manure TO help out their grain
crops. Year after year the pillow is put
upon a field, year after year a half crop
is gathered, and great amount of labor
expended with poor compensation for in
vesLment. Soil needs rest-that is, rest
from the production of such crops as sap
largely its primitive elements.-Tr Tribune
and Farmer.

Southern Phosnhates.

Biologists report the existence, IN line
across Central Alabama and Mississippi,
of strata of green sand beds and decom-
posed sandy calcareOus beds, in all some
twenty feet in thickness, which are i'm
pregnated with phosphoric acid. Though
the geological position is different, the
general character of these phosphate beds
is much like that of the South Carolina

may prove to be equally great.

Cabbages for winter use are usually
pushed ahead too fast, according TO Seed
Time and HGTUeSt. That is, they are set
out too early and consequently ripen off
too early, so early in many cases that they
will not. keep till January. Cabbage plants
set out the last of June on good rich soil
will make much better keepers than if set
out the first Of June. To be truly valua-
BILE the garden must produce something
for all seasons Of the year-a constant and
plentiful supply. This cannot be done by
sowing the garden all at one time, as too
many do rather than have any after trou-
BILE with it.

Breeding On Wheat.

A writer in Michigan local paper be-
lieves in breeding up the wheat. A sys-
tematic plan OF improving wheat by
wedding out all the poor stools and heads
from a selected plot, and thus isolating
the chosen stock, is practicable and prom
ising. 1t is the greatest blunder possible
to pass our wheat through tanning mill
and select only the largest grains. How
quickly we would deprecate this practice
in selecting seed corn. The largest, incest,
plumpest kerna R1niformly grow upon
the shortest, pc filled ears. This is
no stock to bred EOm; the money lies in
the long, well-hHed heads upon prolific
stools, and these have only medium sized
kernels, and these we cannot afford to re-
ject, but we really do reject them in saving
only the largest kernels for seed. As well
breed Jersey COWS with size only in view,
forgetting the milk pail and butter firkin.
Enough attention is not given to the
amount of available plant food within
easy reach of the growing wheat plants.
1t is not enough that the soil be pretty
good; it must be excellent to produce a
big crop. The young wheat plant must
have full supply Of soluble food within
easy reach of its roots before it exhausts
the amount Of food within the body of the
seed; this is secured by a liberal dressing
of weli-rotted manure worked into the
surface soil. Wheat gets its tendency to
tiller broadly from percentages; but this
tendency, to be of most value, must be
stimulated and supported by available
fertility in the soil; the bushels per acre
are dependent upon breadth of stool and
length of ear. We see, then, the impor-
tance of good seed and of good usage, and
all ought to be ashamed of the fact that
the average yield of wheat per acre is
gradually growing less.

The new Nc chOOl Board.

The school election on Saturday
brought several surprises, amongst
which were the election of VIM, II. kyne
from the First Ward, Howard o. Moore
from the Third Ward, and PancOast
Allen from the Ninth Ward over candi-
dates who had received the hearty en-
dorsement of the Boys Alumni of the
High School The Ninth Ward is to
be congratulated on the choice of Mr..
Allen who is in every way qualified to
make one of the best members of the
Board. 1t is not surprising that the
citizens of the Ninth Ward should make
such good choice, and pass from a
low to high extreme. The Fifth
Ward voters too were peculiarly tortu-
nate in the selection of DR.. West, q
gentleman throughly qualified for the
position, though it cannot be denied
that DR.. Grimshaw and Mr.. Horn
would have ably represented the ward
in the Board.
The abilities and services Of Mr.. Viii
ley, Of the Sixth Ward, and DR.. Kea-
bles of the Eighth Ward were fully ac-
knowledged and appreciated by their
return to the Board without opposition.
In Mr.. Singley from the Fourth Ward
the Board secures an active, energetic
friend of education. The Tenth Ward
could not improve over DR.. Mckay,
but, rs that gentleman positively dc
clined the use of his name for re-elecs
ton the people could scarcely have done
better than to elect Owen j. Hession,
who is firm friend of our public school
system. Mr.. Heisler holds his own in
the Second Ward in spite of all opposi-
ton, and Mr.. Stilley is to be entitled to
the credit of pursuing such reason
able course rs to have no opposition. Mr..
Fuekel of the Third Ward is good
member and deserved reelection, and i,
is hoped Mr.. Moore may make good
member also. The defeat of Mr.. Reeve
in the First Ward is to I've regretted, no,
specially that Mr.. Kyne defeated
him, but because he made a good active
member Of the Board. If politica
| lines were drawn the Board would b'
found to consist Of eleven Democrats
and eleven Republicans. This is abou
as non partisan as the Board can b'
made. Upon the whole the Board is ;
good one and fairly represents the peo
lple, and we see no good reason why tn
lpublic schools should not bc as wei
4 looked after and taken care of by thi
as by any previous Board.
