Buffalo Jones' New Herd of BisOns

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Nov. 20-The
Manitoba's fast freight from Winnipeg
brought in a queer load of cattle this
morning in the shape of herd of eighty
three bufaloes. The herd is the famous
one raised by Warden Benson, of Stony
Mountain, n. W. T., since 1877, from a
young bull and four heifers. They have
been bought by G. J. Jones, of Garden
City, Kan, who has for some years been
making special study of the buffalo, and
he has at present herd of about fifty on
his ranch in Kansas. He began crossing
them with cattle and his experiments
have been successful, the half-breed buf-
falo being hardy and striking animal,
while much less wild its nature The
raising of the bison has become a profit
able business, too, as so cents pound for
buffalo meat can be Obtained in Chicago.
The animals will be shipped South to-
night. Cattle raisers everywhere are
watching the Jones experiments with
much interest. Bison in their wild state
are now almost unknown, fact which
makes the attempt to domesticate and
perpetuate the species all the more inter-
esting.

The most important places in the rail
way mail service should be Immediately
filed by thoroughly competent men.
These positions include the general super
intendent at Washington, the division
superintendent at Boston, New York,
Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis, to-
gether with their principal assistants.
Perhaps the very best thing that could be
done would be to reinstate the Republican
officials recently removed from these po-
sitions. They have all been tested by
years of experience, and would know just
how to go to work to reform the service.

FLORIDA ORANGE CRoP-The orange
crop of Florida, according to The Florida
Dispatch, is estimated at 100000 boxes
this year. A box of oranges weighs
eighty pounds, making the weight of the
crop 240,000,000 pounds. This would
load 10000 cars, or 1000 month, during
the year-33 for every day in the year.
AS there are really but four orange-ship-
ping months, it will require 5000 cars
month to move the crop. This will be
100 cars day, or nine trains day, of
twenty cars each. For moving this crop,
the roads will get 80 cents box, or ST.,
100000. The orange crop of Florida is
no little thing for the railroads.

THE prophetic words of Gen. John A.
Logan have been verified. 1t was he who
said that the sons of the soldiers born
after the war, who would cast their first
vote for president in 1888, would be Re
publicans, The Sons of Veterans have
followed their fathers to the polls and
voted the way their fathers shot. There
isno question about their Republicanism.
II was born in them. It would be almost
a violation of nature itself for them to
vote the Democratic ticket. You will
find the Republican strawberry mark on
almost every Son of Veteran who cast his
first presidential vote this year.-Detroit

IN Tennessee, where Cleveland's plu-
rality over Harrison is 1884, the Prohi-
bitionists cast only $500 votes. In Ar
kansas, where Cleveland's plurality over
Harrison is 27,210, the Prohibitionists
cast only GA votes. The Prohi bition
leaders promised, before election, that
they would make as good a showing in
the Democratic South as in the Repub-
lican North; but the returns do not con-
firm the prediction. The South is even
more solid against prohibition than it is
against Republicanism.

LIFE IN A BEEHIVE.
How Honey and Wax Are Made by the
Busy Little Workers.

How Honey and Wax Are Made by the
Busy Little Workers.
The whole atmosphere Of the hive
in the summer is one of hustle an
hurry. The workers hustle day and
night, and work so hard that when
honey is plentiful in the flowers the
average life of the working bee is rare
lv over six weeks. II is safe to say
that not one in 5 600 bees
lives to eat the honey it has toiled SO
hard to lay up for the winter: There
are usually about $4,000 bees in
colony or hive, and they will
average in a good season something
like 81 pounds.
1t takes 10000 bees. working one
entire day, 10 gather single pound
Of honey, and to get the sweets they
must rummage 8 100000 clover
blooms. Now when we know that
Is. o0o 600 pounds of honey are year
ly produced in the United States. it
becomes very nice problem to calcu-
late how many bees there are work
ing, say, eight hours a day.
The bee brings four substances into
the hive and creates one substance
there. The honey is brought II in
little sac and stored in one of the cells
of the comb. If you'll notice you'll
find the cells slant little bit. so that
the sweet stuff will not spill till the
cell is full aud can be sealed up. This
raw honey has to be stirred and mixed
with formic acid which the bees jaws
secrete. and frequently moved from
one cell to another, so as to hasten its
evaporation and thickening. Then
there is pollen dust from the flowers.
which is used to feed the young bee
babies, and is also used for Gaping
over their cells, as it is porous to the
air and is much cheaper than wax.
Then propolis. or bee glue, IS fetched
from the willow, poplar, cottonwood
and balm of-gilead trees and is used
to cement cracks and crevices about
the hive. Last of all. water is brought
into the hive to give drink to the
babies.
But, more precious than honey, is
wax. which is really tallow and not
wax. 1t costs twenty pounds OF honey
and long time to make one pound
of wax. The bees eat the honey, and
then hang quietly in cluster wait
ing for the wax to form. 1t is secreted
under little scales ON the abdomen,
and is used Immediately. This wax
is not made unless it is actually re-
quired. and never as long as there
are any vacant combs.
It is this desire to economize IN
wax that makes the bee store Its
honey in six-sided cell. for when one
cell is built there is one side furnished
for six new cells. - Golden Digs.
