SERVICE OE LIE BEE.
The Horticulturist and tho Farmer Should
Not Neglect the Apiary.

Not Neglect the Apiary.
After all mans skill III planting, aft
er searching the world over fer improved
varieties after propagating, grating
and hybridlIing, he must RELY mainly
upon nature method of qualification.
The balmy winds of spring and indus
trious bees are needed to fertiliZe the
bloom 10 insure harvest of fruit For
this purpose there Is no question that
the bee is of great service to the grower
of fruits
No other insect appears in such vas
numbers AT this very important time in
the spring when their agency is SO much
needed To fertilize the orchard and small
fruits. If the winds and other insects
aside from the bee were the only means
of carrying the pollen from flower to
flower, how often would perfect fertili-
cation fail from too much or too little
wind during the brief opportunity when
the bursting buds are signing for the
life giving dust from the neighboring
flowers. Not only has nature provided
the honey to entice the bee, but the pol
len, so essential to the plant, and just
as essential 70 the bee in furnishing the
proper food for it's young, is placed in
close proximity to the nectar, so that in
getting either, the bee is unwittingly
carrying the dust from flower to flower,
or working out the wise plans of Proyi-
dence as relates to plants and catering
to mans tastes at the same time
The Creator did not place the drop Of
nectar in the flower because it is needed
to perfect either the flower or the fruit,
but for no other purpose than to tempt
the bee to brush its hairy legs against
the anthers aud carry the pollen dust
from one flower to another So the hor
ticultuTist cannot but look upon the bee
as his friend, and certainly the horticul
turist is friend to the bee and bee
keeper What, then, is to hinder these
two vacations going hand in hand,
since each is helpful to the other? They
should at least be on the very best of
terms, as each furnishes Inducements
for the other to live and profit thereby.

they pledged SO many days work on the

much ridiculed when he started his

Cleaning Land with Buckwheat

The quick growth of buckwheat and its
broad leaf completely shading the ground
fit it to suppress most of the annual
weeds. 1t has even been said to kill the
Canada thistle, but this is more probably
due to blowing the thistles under in June
as preparation for the buckwheat than the
crop which followed. But it is better
reason for the belief that growing buck
wheat clears the land of wineworms and
insects that destroy vegetation. So far as
we know. there is no insect that will eat
either the root or stalk of buckwheat, and
sowing it on any piece of land for two
years will kill the wireworms by furnish.

BUSINESS FIRST.

The Fifty-fourth congress has met for it's last session. There is no reas- on for continuing the eAof politics in which it engaged to the exclusion of all other business during the ses- sion which came to an inglorious end last summer; there is every reason for doing something this time for the country. And what the country wants is to have the government put upon a solvent basis and trade relieved of anxiety with regard to disturbing leg islation.
 If the members of congress, senators and representatives, will take counsel with the business interests of their constituents, they will find that the advantage of the Republican party is not held as closely at heart as is the retrenchment of public expenses and the increase of the National revenue Let the expiring congress give it's at tention to these matters, clear the docket of the practical questions left over from the ante-election session and set the government on it's feet financially, and it will do it's full duty Nothing can be gained by the dog ir the manager tactics that have already cost the government millions of dol lars. Republicans will not oppose any measure that is for the public good The voters of the country have ren. dered their verdict. Now let congress abide by it.

Nine reasons why Ayers Sarsaparil la should be taken in preference to any other blood purifier: 1st. The drugs from which it is made are the most carefully selected. 2d. They are combined in such scientific propor- tions that they may always be depend- ed upon for successful results. Sd. It is concentrated extract, only small doses being required 4th It is perfect ly safe, either for young or old. 5th. It acts upon the blood more speedily than any other blood purifier 6th It cures disease by removing the conditions which make sickness possible, and therefore cures permanently. 7th. This remedy has well-known scientific value and it's formula is familiar to scientific men. Sth. It has been before the public for half a century. Drug gists and physicians recommend it and employ it in their practice. 9th. It was the only Sarsaparilla admitted at the worlds fair. It stands first. It leads all other blood purifiers. Be sure your druggist sells you Ayers Sarsaparilla It cures others, and will cure you.
