Sum Spots Lessen Annual Hcat.

From the American Register.
1t has been observed that, after the sun
spots have been at a minimum, the sum-
mers are hotter. just as though there was
more heat coming from the sun at such
periods, and the fact has been accounted
for by supposing that sun spots are caused
by vast clouds of matter erupted from the
sun and condensed in the surrounding space
These act as screens and prevent The sun S

the minima of sun spots the month of Au-
gust is hotter than July, an effect due, in
all likelihood. to accumulation Of the heat.

Bee BuzZing.

The editor of The American Bee Jour
nal says: GENERALLY an unfertile queen
will lay eggs if she has not been injured
in any way. All her eggs will produce
drones only. Worker bees are incapa-
BILE of being fortified. Sexually they
are undeveloped. Any eggs they may
lay will produce only drones."
Ventilation in bee cellars was dis
cussed at the Minnesota state conven-
ton and the conclusion arrived at that
in most cellars ventilation is needed in
some way. Some ventilate through the
doors or windows, and think it just as
good as regular ventilatOrs made for the
purpose.
At beekeepers convention held at
Ashtabula, o., talk on hiving swarms
made apparent the fact that some use a
bushel basket. Mr.. A. Webster uses a
common market basket with cover.
Others use regular hiving box. To all
of these poles are attached, of different
lengths, owing to the height of the
swarm to be taken.
The laying of bees. the German writer
Gerstung contends, is not continuous,
but periodic, about seven periods of
twenty-five days each in season; six
teen or seventeen days of laying, fol-
lowed by five to seven days of rest, makes
the period of twenty-five days. DR.. Mil
Ter says, in Gleanings in Bee Culture:
81 should have said eggs can be found
any day in my hives; but if Gerstung is
right, there ought to be day or two
every three weeks when there is not an
egg in the hive. Let's watch this sum-
mer.

The Rothamsted reports make it APP
pear that, contrary to the popular belief,
an average crop of oats takes more fer
tility from the land than an equivalent
yield of wheat. Farmers, as rule, con-
slider wheat the most exacting of all the
grains on the soil and believe that oats
may be grown on much less fertile land
than wheat. The result, says Henry
Stewart in the New York Times, is that
one very rarely finds really good crop
of oats. and the quantity as well as the
quality of this grain produced per acre is
rarely of any profit to the grower. And
yet some growers do secure excellent
and most profitable crops of this grain by
the best method of culture, based on the
requirements of the plant. We read of
or sometimes see yield of seventy-five
or eighty bushels to the acre of grain
weighing nearly twice the average of the
ordinary crops, and there are a good
many cases in which oats are really the
most paying crop grown on the farm.
The reason why this is uncommon is,
first, that its character as an exhaustive
crop is not generally known; second, that
manure is very rarely given to 1t, and
third, that the procuring of the best
kinds of seed is commonly neglected.
