A strange Plant.

In, the island of Reunion is a
plant known as the wild orange,
which produces fruit, green at
first, afterward blush, and verging
into purple as it ripens. This has
been tested and found to make a
beverage in every way equal to cof-
fee and at a much lower price.
The product is called "mussaenda, !"
and can be used alone or mixed
with pure coffee. 1t is announced
that about twenty-four thousand
acres of this plant are now being
cultivated. 1t is most likely, how
ever, that chicory, more than COT
fee, will suffer from the introduction
of "mussaenda."

Packing and Marketing Fruit.

Mr.. A. P. Hall lately read an able
paper before the Placer County
Horticultural Society on the subject
of picking, packing, shipping and
marketing fruit. While the paper
was too lengthy for insertion here
we are pleased to give the following
salient points:
"The ordinary grower will usually
pack what he picks; if he brings in
fruit not up to the honest require
ments, somehow that fruit will find
its way into the boxes for shipment,
and strange as it may seem the
smaller fruit always proves to be
heavier than the larger, for it
always settles to the bottom of the
box. l have noticed the same sim
gular and unphilosophical condition
in bags of potatoes exposed for sale.
There is one unsatisfactory thing
which is noticeable in the shipment
of inferior fruit. The inferior will
always pull down the rating of the
superior, SO that the grower who
strives to ship only first-class fruit
is unable to get the price he other
wise would were there no inferior
fruit in the market. So in the end
it would be best, no doubt, to ship
but one class of frnit and that the
first-class.
To be an honest grower of fruit as
well as to be honest in any of the
walks of life requires moral courage.
First in pruning, next in thinning
and lastly in the packing of fruit.
In thinning, every year he fears he
is wasting too great proportion of
his crop, only to discover later on
that he has not wasted half enough.
And so in wrapping, the temptation
to put in fine looking peach, yet
with little defect in it, or an un-
der-sized one is perhaps too great to
be withstood. In packing fruit l
think a good rule would be to pack
each box just as though we were
going to purchase it for our use. -

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story. or picture. or architectural PLAN all
the competitors risking the loss of their labor
and the successful one merely selling his for
the amount OF the prize. But the Press Claims
Company's offer is something entirely differ
ent. Each person is asked merely to help him
SELF and the one who helps himself to the best
advantage is to be rewarded for doing 1t. The
prize is only a stimulus to do something that
would be well worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for club
house on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very little use
to him. But the person who patents simple

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to keep track of their bright
ideas and see what there is in them, the Press
Claims Company has resolved to offer prize.
To the person who submits to it
the simplest and most promising
invention, from a commercial point
CT view, the company will give
twenty five hundred dollars, cash,
in addition to retunding the fees
for securing the patent.
1t will also advertise the inveD-
ton free of charge.
This offer Is subject to the following condit.
ions:
Every competitor must obtain a patent for
his invention through the company. He must
first apply for preliminary search. the cost of
which will be five dollars. Should this search
show his invention to be unpatentable, he can
withdraw without further expense. Otherwise
he will be expected to complete his application
and take out patent in the regular way. The
reau fees, viii be seventy dollars. For this,
whether he secures the prize or not. the invent
or will have patent that ought to be valua-
BILE property to him. The prize will be award

About rinsing cans the most sat
isfactory method is to use cold
water first, then scalding hot and
rinse with cold water though this
should be done Immediately before
milk is put into the cans, as by so
doing the milk does not adhere to
the tin and comes out cleaner and
fresher, and that can washes much
easier and cleaner than when milk
is put into it dry.

THE LITTLE THINGS TIE MOST
VALUABLE.

Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost everybody has been
struck, at one time or another. with ideas that
seemed calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
why don't the railroad companies make It's
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers backs?"
exclaims a traveller. "If were running the
road would make them in such a way"
what was the man who made this sucepan
thinking OFF, grumbles the cook HE never
had to work over the stove, or he would have
known how 1t ought to have been fixed"
Hang such a collar button!" growls the man
who Is late for breakfast. "If / were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off or gouge out the back of my
neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances and begin to think of some
thing else. II they would sit down at the next
convenient opportunity put their ideas about
ear windows. saucepans. and collar buttons in
to practical shape. and then apply for patents.
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron UNI
brella ring, or the one who patented the fifteen
puzzle.

Notes for Reekeeners.

Colonies becoming destitute of
provisions will starve to death and
those with liberal supply will
stop brood-rearing.
TO obtain a supply OF drones very
early in the season it is necessary
to feed, as colonies must become
pretty strong before drone-rearing
is attempted.
The beekeeper who waits for the
opening of the season before making
any preparations to care for the
products of the apiary will find that
the business will run him. instead
of his running the business.
Any colony of bees may be
changed to pure Italian stock by
simply removing the old queen and
introducing an Italian queen in her
place. In two or three months the
stock will be mostly of the new
queen and pure Italian.
BY artificial queens are meant
queens that are produced from
worker brood by bees under the in-
fiuence Of an actual necessity for
their own existence. Natural queens
are productivity the swarming fever
or an over-production of prosperity.
In producing queens by the arti-
fetal process, only fully developed
cells should be used. Very often the
larvae contained in inferior cells do
not receive the proper attention to
fully develop the young queen, and
especially will this happen in weak
nuclei.
Hives should be set perfectly
level, especially from side to side,
so that the frames will hang plumb.
Bees, when building comb, plumb
their work, and if the comb is not
in line with their vertical comb
building, it will not strike the bot
tom of the frame.
One of the best crops to sow for
honey is Alsike clover. Besides
being a good honey plant it is val
liable for pasturage and hay. An
other good crop for honey is buck
wheat. Two crops of it can be
grown in one season by making the
first sowing early.
In uniting different swarms of
bees in order to strengthen the col
ony, all that is necessary is to place
the required number together and
remove all the queens but one. If
for any reason the bees disagree
smoke them literally. Generally
the bees will arrange matters ami
cably.
Early in the morning or late in
the evening, and on cool or rainy
days, when they are not working,
it is best to modest them as little as
possible. They are not in a mood
to be tempered with at such times,
and it makes them so irritable that
it is often several days before they
forget il.
All reasonable care should be
taken to save all particles of comb
and make it into wax. The best
plan is to put it into a coarse cloth,
tie it up and place in boiler of
water and boil. The wax will
strain through the cloth and rise to
the surface to be skinned off. The
wax is we'll worth taking care of, as
it sells readily for good price.
One advantage of wind-break
of evergreen hedge is that after it is
once established it is much less
trouble and expense to keep up,
while it can be made ornamental as
we'll as useful. In exposed situa-
tons wind-break is of material
benefit during the Winter in the
apiary.

NOT SO HARD AS 1T SEEMS.

patent strikes a person as an appallingly
formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor
must be natural genius, like Edison or Bell;
that he must devote years to delving in compli-
Gated mechanical problems. and that he must
spend a fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get a new device to q patentable degree
of perfection. This delusion the company de-
sires to dispel. 1t desires to get into the head
of the public a clear comprehension of the fact
that it Is not the great, complex. and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors. but the little, simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention of
the Patent once.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost of
his experiments. But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit of rubber cord to
child's ball. so that it wonld come back to the
hand when thrown, made fortune out of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine Is a mi
raele of ingenuity-the product of the toll Of
hundreds of busy brains through hundred
and fifty years, but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye of the needle at the
point instead of at the other end.
