Agricultural,


The New York Tribune says
"Much complaint has been made, one time
and another Of what Mr. Fuler calls the bee
nuisance'-ihe owner Of an acre or two often
keeping large colonies, which forage almost
wholly in neighbors' fields, feeding upon fruits
and even invading Kitchens in search OF sweets,
TO the great annoyance Of nervous women. 1t
is now said that aliitists in parts of the state
where honey production Is sort Of specially
are inclined to conoiliate public sentiment by
paying rent for the pasturaga which 1t is i'm
practicable to fence against the winged stock
with the business end
There is, perhaps, some point to the com
plant in behalf of nervous women troubled
with an imaginary fear OF injury from limo
cent bees, never known to sting except when
defending their homes but the damage done
by them by foraging in neighbors' fields is a
rather fiue thing to estimate. There is really
no damage whatever to the neighbors fields
in which the bees forage On the contrary,
as bo,anists know, il is a positive benefit to
them. II the neighbor wants the pasturage
for his own bees that is another thing but
in either case the bees will do more good than
harm as far as they affect the product of the
field. The secretion Of honey in the flower,
which invites the bee to visit it, is a beautiful
provision Of Nature to promote the fertiliza.
ton of plants. In many plants fertilization
may be complete without the aid Of insects /;
in Others as in the pisillate varieties OF straw
berries and in clover, the help Of bees or 9TH
er insects is either absolutely necessary for
complete fertilization or it greatly aids it,
According to Darwin, the pollen Of red clover
can never reach the part of the flower neces-
sary to be fortified unless carried there by
bees or other insects. Experiments lately
made show that the fertilization of red clover
is SO much dependent upon bees-ohioAy
humble bees-that very little clover seed can
be raised where they are not abundant
The blossoms Of nearly all fruit bearing
trees and plants yield honey aud are plenti-
fully visited by tue bees There can be no
reasonable doubt that they increase the pro-
duction of fruit We have raised buokwheat
where there were few honey bees within
reach, and often in the neighborhood of a
large number of colonies. The best yield Of
grain has been where the buckwheat bios
SONS have been most worked by the bees.
On one small field the bees worked so busily
that the sound was like swarmiug, and a line
of them could be seen constantly going and
coming between the hives and the field. This
piece yielded the best crop of grain.

PonItrr on the Farm.

little or no cost to the producer. You need
not be surprised to hear the same man say
that there is no profit in garden, and that 1t
doesn't pay to bother with fruit trees.
The two main reasons why the farmer
should keep poultry are frst, because it fur.

The no-pouliry farmer growls about what
the hens waste and destroy by scratching in

the nature of the fowl to scratch, aud that it
is not particularly discriminating in the pur
suit of its favorte employment. | have al
ways observed that my hens greatly prefer
scratching the newly -sown wheat from my
experimental patch, to picking grain from the

ment against keeping poultry, worthy of a
Poultry, like any other farm stock should
be kept where they belong To BE- sure they
will destroy more than they are worth il al

kept where they belong they are profitable ;
and the better they are kept the more profita-

A yard fence for combining poultry is very
easily and cheaply constructed. Common

II nry Bergh of New York. president of
the society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals has published letter strongly con-
demuiug the cruel fashion of bobbing horses
tails. He writes:
The cruel fashion of "bobbing" horses
tails is being revived. It was fashionable
craze about generation ago, and was not en-
tlrely stopped until our society succeeded IN
getting stringent laws enacted against cruelty

ceiling, and space OF about an inch is shaw

another mau strikes the knife two or three

This is done 10 prevent the flesh from grow

Disease and death often follow this cruel
