them, they cracked under the action of
sun and rains. and hail sometimes cut
them, the bees only coming in to save
the was ting juices of the injured fruit.
The wide publicity given to the results
of the experiments made under the di-
rection of the United States entomolo-
gist, and published in the report OF the
commissioner of agriculture for 1881
have no dout contributed much to Sc
cure this change among fruit growers.
But now it would appear that the
bees have not only been indicated,
but that in the future fruit growers
are likely to be generally regarded as
more indeb ted to bee keepers than the
latter are to fruit growers, for the
amount of honey the bees secure from
fruit blossoms comes far short of equal
ing in value that part of the fruit crop
which many accurate observations and
experiments indicate is due to the
complete cross-fertilization of the
blossoms by bees. The observations
and researches of Hildebrand, Muller,
Delpino, Darwin and others, as well
as the excellent explanation of the
subject in Cheshire's recent
work have gone far to prove how
greatly blossoms depend upon the
agency of bees for their fertilization
and hence for the production of seeds
and fruits.
The facts they have brought forward
are gradually becoming more widely

ST. LOUIS, Sept 22.-Advantagei is be-

Der of states of the low railroad rates
to St Louis during the carnival. and
every day crowds of excursiOnists visit
the city and spend few c.ys in il en-
joying the attractions and the re-
markable hospitality of its citizens.
The Examinations, covering over six
miles of streets, and including over u.s.
BOO gas and electric lights, are calling
forth enthusiastic praise from thou
sands of spectators every evening, and
the crowds on the streets tonight were
remarkable in every respect The po-
lice force are in hearty sympathy with
the Autumnal Festivities association,
and they find the crowds so uniformly
good-tempered and satisfied that there
is little difficulty in preserving order
and preventing the unpleasantness
which is apt to arise from such an
enormous collection of people on the
streets.
The electric panorama and pyrotech-
mic effects naturally attract the lions
share of attention, but the street and

grand enough in themselves to war

pieces are of oak or hickory, two inches
wide, two and one-half inches thick
and three feet long. The ends are cut
to the form of handles from the under
side, so that when the platform is
placed on the ground, the handles will
be about an inch above, thus leaving
room for man to place his fingers un-
der in grasping the handles Across
these two pieces are nailed two one
inch oak fencing boards, two feet long.
The stones are rolled upon this plat
form, and two men can easily handle
them. This is much easier on the
hands than lifting by taking hold of
the stone itself.-George II. Shull, in

The siicc and the NIond.

A curious Indian legend was told to
some people way out in Omaha by a
full-blcoded Sioux who lives at Pine
Ridge agency. He said the belief was
that every time new moon appeared
il was signal for all the mice in the
country 10 gather themselves together
in one spot When they assembled they
then separated into four great armies.
One army went TO the north, another
to the south. a third to the east and a
fourth to the west. These armies of
mice travelled until they reached the
point where, from the place of starting,
the heavens seemed TO touch the earth
Then they climbed mp TO the sky until
they reached the moon. which by this
time was what we call full. All of the
four armies then commenced nibbling
at Luna, and when they Rad eaten her
all up, the mice would scamper back
down the heavens TO tine earth and
wait for her to show herself again,
when the journey and the nibbling
would be repeated by the mice: and
tins is what the Indians of early days
believed was the cause of the moon
growing old and finally disappearing.

Insumcient Cultivation.

In attempting to cultivate too much
land, insufficient cultivation will be the
result. and two acres will be required
to produce that which should be grown
on one acre. A lot of manure may be
of great service on half an acre and
show no effect when spread over twice
that surface. Less labor is also re-
auired on small areas than on those
that are large.
