IMPORTANCE OF BEES.

Bees play great part in the produc-
ton of crops. Previous to 1887 red
clover in New Zealand had to be re-
sown every year with seed imported
from England, as there was no insect
in the islands which could impregnate
the flower. In that year, however, the
last of many attempts to introduce the
humble bee succeeded. New Zealand
now supplies itself with clover seed, as
we'll as having permanent clover pas
lures, AMI it is calculated that the in
PRODUCTION of this single insect is
worth a million sterling to the coun-
try.
This is but one of many experiences
which seem to show that nature has
placed honey in the flowers not SO
much for supplying food for bees and
other insects. but that fertilization of
plants may be accomplished. The bee
in flying from flower to flower gets
busted with pollen from the anthers or
male organs of blossoms, and in this
way it is conveyed to the stigmas or
female organs. It is interesting to
note that when bee starts on for,
aging tour she confines herself to one
description of flowers, for perhaps if
there were not SO the mixture of diff
ferent pollens might interfere with
this proper fertilization. It will
therefore be seen from this action of
bees on plants, that the agriculturist
owes as much to the "little busybee"
as he does to his own skill and ex-
perience in tilling the soil and in
choosing his seeds.

DISEASES OF CABBAGE AND rUnSrp.


At last we have satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of the real nature of those
| diseases of the cabbage and of the tur-
nip, closely allied plant to the cab
bage, by which the roots of the one
and the bulbs Of the other are injured
: to such an extent as to wholly destroy
the product. This is afforded by a
very interesting bulletin of the Cor
nell IN. " Experiment Station, the
author of which is Professor NJ. V.
Slingerlan1, and which should be
studied by all concerned.
There are two pests in this work,
one maggot of fly, and the other a
microbe; the former eats and destroys
the roots, while the other-the mi
crobe-causes the deformities so often
found on the roots of the cabbage,
and so well known as club root. The
latter has given rise to much study by
intelligent growers OF cabbages, of
whom the late Peter Henderson wrote
the most about it. It was q sbrewd
thought of Mr. Henderson that the
application of lime was an effective
remedy for this disease, and now that
the nature of it, which was not known
then, is understood, it is most proba
BILE that the use of lime will be found,
as was said to be the case by Mr.. Hen
derson, a preventive, by destroying
the organism in the soil. It may be
that the weakness of the plants, due to
the want of some necessary element of
their food, gives aid and help to the
organism existing in the soil, and that
better attention to the fertilizlng of
the land may tend to avoid the results
of this disease. The plants of the cab
bage tribe (the Brassicae) have an ash
specially rich in several elements that
are not always thought necessary, as,
for instance, they all contain from ten
to seventeen per cent. of ash-an un-
usually large proportion-in which
there are twenty TO forty-eight per
cent. of potash, five to eleven per cent.
of soda, notable proportion of mag
nesia, eleven to thi1ty-three per cent.
OF lime, eleven to fourteen per cent.
of sulphuric acid, fifteen to twenty
per cent. of phosphorio acid, and q to
six per cent. Of chlorine.
These figures show that potash,
common salt, (soda and chlorine,)
superphosphate of lime and magnesia,
are all indispensable for full feeding
Of these plants. And We well know
that an animai-and equally plant
must be fully fed and completely
nourished, or it will be diseased. and
in most cases the disease is of that
class which is produced by parasites,
which take possession of the weak and
insufficiently-nourlshed individuals. -

Riding without a Horse.

An ingenious man has invented q
saddle machine for the requirement
of perfect seat and self-confidence
as an equestrienne within ones own
home. It is said that many ladies
are overcoming timidity by means of
this home practice as a prelude "to
learning how to ride" the veritable
equine back.
By a skillful mechanical arrange
ment the movements of horse in
walking, trotting, cartering or gal
Looping are impaired to saddle, upon
which o lady or gentlemen may sit
with perfect comfort and safety,
blandly confident that, although they
are enjoying to the full all the
pleasure and health-giving motion of
riding on horseback, there is no fear
of their mount rearing, or boiling, or
kicking, or jibbing or behaving like
the famous trick horse from the circus
The motion obtained from the sad
die, as in actual horse riding, is verti-
cal. and produced by the rider rising
on the stirrups or footboards as if
seated upon horse, and under all the
conditions, whether the motion be
gentle or that of a trot or gallop, the
rider is perfectly secure in his or her
seat, SO that all the advantages Of real
horse exercise can be enjoyed with
none of its inevitable risks. Chicago

What Can Be Done With q Cent.

A few years ago the Episcopal church
of small Maryland town was in want
of an aims basin. The congregation
was for the most part poor, and few
in numbers. The minister in charge
appointed young girl committee OF
one to collect subscriptions. The
amount needed was IS, for an aims
1asin costing that much had been
heard of for sale by more prosperous
parish, that had outgrown the one
with which it started in life.
The young woman's first call was at
the store of a we'll TODD merchant.
Asking something from him for her
fund, she received the following ro-
ply, spoken in a very gruf voice: 81
can give you nothing" but as she
turned to leave, be added: 'There,
you may have that if it will do you
any good" and suiting the action to
the word, threw down on the counter
a cent. Mortified AMI abashel, her
first impulse was to leave it where he
thrown it, but better judgment pre-
vailing she picked it up, thanked him
and left.
Without going further she returned
home and told her mother that she
would not ask for anything more and
run the chance of such treatment
second time. "Take the cent, my
DEAR" the mother said, ''and show
what you can do with it." She fol-
lowed this advice and bought small
china doll, and, dressing it in some
scraps which she hal, sold it to a
friend for her little daughter. Hav-
ing increased her capital 400 per cent,
she invested it in spool OF crochet
ing cotton. with which she worked
several small articles, and the sale of
these brought her in $1.20. This was,
in turn, used to purchase cotton ma
terial, out Of which were made several
dresses for small children, that Melted,
when sold, the desired S., when the
aims basin was duly bought.
This story was told to lady of
Socialiatic views, who was constantly
complaining that she was not rich,
and saying she could lay SO little by
it was not worth while to save; the
answer was eyes, she got her So, but
what lot of work she had to do. -

Compliment 10 the Deg.

A very delicate compliment was
lately bestowed by a dog lover upon
the intelligence of his Skye terrier.
The owner of the dog was sitting in
his Office apparently alone, when an
acquaintance entered.
"Glad to find you alone" said the
visitor, "because [ have confidential
communication to make to you, which
no one else must hear"
"liold on minute - cried the
other, checking him. And then he
called out
'Here, Spot!' -
A small terrier crawlel out from
under the table, wagging his tail.
eco out Spot" said his master.
The dog went out.
'Now then," said the owner, "you
may go on with your confidential
communication. Now we are alone. !"

Ingenious Thieves.

Thieves of Upper India are gener.
ally very smart when it comes to the
squeeze of capture, and the care which
native burglars take in the way of
precaution against surprise is
phenomena, writes correspondent
of contemporary. They are usually
most painstaking, and a friend of mine
one morning awoke to find that he
had been "looted," and at given inter
walls the places of exit had been laid
out with broken bits of bottle so that
if the man had been disturbed and
pursued the glass would have in all
probability brought the pursuers up
smartly.
They, themselves, knowing its posi-
tion, would have avoided it and got
away comfortably. House burglars
all carry wallet of fine sand, and q
handful Of this thrown over the
shoulder into the face of would be
capturer is warranted to postpone the
pursuit. In the case above mentioned
the highwayman was q little extrava-
CANT to part with his blanket. They
generally bring the enemy up with
the ample folds of the turban, which
rarely fails if the lassoing is done
