Honey Bees From the Philippines.

The Department of Agriculture will
Introduce to the United States, the
great honey bees found in the Philip
pines, These bees are twice as large as
those of this country, and produce five
or six times as much honey. They
have extra long tongues and can reach
the nectar in many flowers that our
own variety cannot While this move
will be of material benefit, it will not
be any more so than Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters which reaches and cures
many ailments that other remedies fall
short Of Among them may be men
toned dyspepsia Indigestion, bilious.
ness, constipation, malaria, wasting
diseases, and affections of the kidneys
and blood We especially recommend
the Bitters to men and women whose
nervous systems are shattered.

about five minutes, in boiling oil They
are again dried and are ready to go into
the tin boxes. These boxes are all made
IN the establishment by machinery, and
are turned out with remarkable rapidity,
One set of girls fills the boxes about
one-third full of pure California oil, and
the boxes are passed to another set of
women who with def fingers, put the
fish into the boxes, heads to tails They
are put into the bottom of the boxes.
These filled boxes now go to the soldiers
to be soldered on. These boxes then 60
into great revolving cylinder filled
with sawdust, and revolved until the
boxes are cleaned and polished. Pre-.
viously, however, the boxes have been
boiled in steam for about two hours,
and thus get a second cooking If any
can leaks, the fact is betrayed by little
bubbles, and they go back to the
solderer for cure. Afterwards the labels
are put on showing the brand and
quality of the box. I observed that the
fish, from start to finish went through
thirteen operations before they were
ready for final boxing for the trade.
What strikes me with establishment is
the rapidity with which all this work is
done, The work is in the hands of ex-
perts, who make things move with a
dexterity that gives you constant sur
prise There is no sign up that Clean
illness is next to Goodness" but that
rule is rigidly maintained, for the hose
are always at work cleansing the whole
establishm mt The catch of the day
which we witnessed, amounted, by alb
solute weight, to 1900 pounds AS they
run about sixteen to the pound, we
brought home 10000 sardines. The
catches run from about two and a half
to five TONS
All the labor in this extensive fishery
is done by piece work. About 100 hands
are employed In the Mediterranean
sardine fisheries, the catch is made in
gill nets. But here, they are made, en-
masse, in the manner [ have described.
These millions of sardines are propaga-
ted along these shores, and are born in
small schools, which soon mass in the
great schools. There are no true sar-
dimes on our Atlantic coast There, the
same species, much larger, are the her
ring family, with which we are all IA
miliar
Thus we have followed the sardines
from the cradle to the grave, from the
hatchery to the dining table, or the
lunch basket.
This sardine establishment is the only
one in the country, and has started so
recently as December 1893 1t has at
tanned marked success, and is now one
of the permanent industries of, South
ern California The sardines are cured
after the French process, but the oil
used is made in Los Angeles, from the
California olive. By careful compari-
son, the San Pedro sardines, are, by the
best judgment and taste, entitled to
rank with the Mediterranean product,
and think that is the testimony of the
epicures. If we can take this industry
away from Europe, fairly and justly,
American energy and push will have
scored another point in it's onward
march.

'TWOULD PAY in MANKATO.

The Lake Crystal Union says: They
are working the beet sugar manufac-
turing enterprise down in Mankato
to finish, That's the way to go for
what you want. The subject of enter
prise is as long as the world is round.
when you come to write it up About
SO towns out of hundred spring up
and flourish for short time, then
wither and die for the lack of enter
prise. Some people will never do any
thing to help along town unless they
can realize two dollars out of one, the
minute they turn the coin from one
hand to the other, and they don't have
to be told when it is time to turn If
Lake Crystal had the spunk of a
creeper, you fellows down the creek
would hear something besides noise in
this direction. We are hoping. Beet
sugar business will pay in Mankato No
earthly reason why it shouldn't But
the question is, can you get the far

position beat you?
