MoRN-our FARM SOIL.
1t Can BE Improved by Flowing Un-
der Green Crops.

1t Can BE Improved by Flowing Un-
der Green Crops.
Soils that have been in long culture,
without having been in clover or the
grasses, or received periodical dressings
of barn-yard manure, have been de-
prived of the greater portions of their
mold. And, as is also an admitted truth,
that mold is an indispensable ingredient
in every productive soil, it stands to
reason that, when in the course of inn
provident culture, it has been extracted,
It is essential that it be restored. The
question, then, how shall this restora-
ton be brought about, is one of full
interest to every farmer. Those who
have ample resources, who have full
supplies of animal and mineral and veg
etable manures, who have the materials
on their land to form composts, COM
prising the elements in question, need
look no further for the means of re-
storing the needed constituents to the
soil. But those who are differently
situated, who have but little manure
and are but ill-supplied with the raw
material to make compost, must turn
their attention to the best means of
placing such matters in the soil as will
form mold. The growing and blowing
in of green crops is often advised, and
we here repeat that advice. No soil
can be truly productive unless both
organic and inorganic plant foods are
present. The air can supply portion
of the organic food, as clover roots can
by their tubercle bacilli convert the
unavailable nitrogen of the air into
available plant food. This can be done
only while the plant is growing.
What kinds of crops should be cul-
tivated and plowed in? This question
must be solved by circumstances. The
facility with which seed may be OBJ
tanned, the facility with which plants
selected can be grown on these poor
lands, their cost, etc, will determine
to a great extent which shall be used.
Chief is red clover, valuable for pastur-
age and equally so as fertilizer. Clover
is first and no doubt the best mortgage
raiser there is, for it surely does restore
the fertility of the land. AS mentioned
before, it supplies the nitrogen supply
as none other can. 1 know farms that
would raise scarcely anything, which
in course of four or five years treatment
with clover, and with proper rota-
ton, have become very valuable as crop
producing farm. Clover is a good croE
for green manuring. Rye and rape are
likewise recommended, but clover un-
doubtedly stands frst.-Charles W.
Burkett, in Farm and Fireside.

should be taken, if possible, to have

they are not likely to eat too much the
first few days there is danger after
they get to eating it that they may
overload while it is wet, which may re

some instances purging may be Il re-

be but little danger after that. But
it will always be judicious to look after

THE QUEEN BEE.
Controls the Sex of Her Offspring
How She Is Developed.

Controls the Sex of Her OTsprinE-
How She Is Developed.
When the workers among honey bees
wish to develop a queen they tear down
the partitions between three adjacent
cells containing eggs which would nat
urally develop into workers. They de-
stroy two of the eggs, reserving the
third as occupant of the large cell
which they proceed to build over it.
The egg matches into little white bee
grub in no wise differing from those in
the neigh boring cells. But soon the
process of differentiation begins, for
this grub is fed epon a highly nutri-
tious food made by the workers called
''royal jelly" Not for the delectation
of the babe in the royal cell is she fed
royal jelly, but because this rich diet
has a marvellous effect upon her phys
zeal development, giving her great capa-
bilities of egg-Iaying. For five days she
is fed upon this food, and then the work
ers cap her cell and leave her to change
t. pupa.
About 16 days from the date of hatch
ing the queen is ready to come out of
her cell; the workers know this and
arc ready to open the cell and help the
royal lady out, row in full possession
of her legs and wings. In appearance
she is larger than the workers or drones
evidently a queenlier bee. Her first
act, if unhindered by the workers, is
her one claim to similarity to human
royalty; she starts at once on a hunt
for other queens in the hive; for our
queen is jealous and will brook the
presence of no other queen. Her sting
is a noble weapon kept sacred to the
Staying of her peers. She hunts for
other queen cells, tears them open
with great fury and assassinates the
helpless young princesses within them.
But she is quite as ready for fair fight
rs for assassination, for when she finds
another queen fully developed she
will fight until one or the other
is killed. The stark bodies of Is
unfortunate queens were found thrown
out of one of the hives in our apiary,
grim witnesses to the prowess of the
royal lady in possession of the hive.
One wonderful power at least belongs
TO our bee queen: she has control of
the sex of her offspring. When she
wishes to develop male brood she lays
unfertilized eggs. The eggs of vir-
gin queen, and also OF workers., "nlcn
sometimes mysteriousiy possess the
power of egg-laying, always develop
into males, or drones, as they are called.
And the fertile queen simply refrains
fro,S fertilizing anegg when she wishes
to produce a drone. Many a poor hui
man queen would have led happier
life had she possessed the power of
developing male progeny at will. How
ever, the powers of maternity in the
human species are limited in all ways
compared with those of insects. The
queen bee could never accomplish such
feats of egg-laying if she were not
cared for with great solicitude by the
workers. Her reproductive organs are
developed at the expense of the rest
of her physique. Her stomach is not
fitted for the processes of digestion;
she is always fed upon digested food.
and thus her energies are conserved for
her great task.-Anna Botsford Com
stock, in Chautauquan.
