Fruit Culture and Bees.

The fruit grower who is able to han de bees without much trouble will find them not only profitable in them selves, but Of great value to his or chard fruits As q rule the blossoms of fruit trees are we'll fertilized by the various insects of the section, but in many cases the domestic bee has made orchards profitable that for years failed to set fruit blossoms in my quantity. Many bee culturists make a practice of setting the hives in the orchard, to the advantage of both bees and trees. The objection to this practice has been urged that bees sting fruit Of various kinds, especial iy grapes, pears and plums. This is not so, for bees rarely, if ever, pune ture fruit. although frequently found taking the juices from fruits previous. injured by birds CT in other ways. The best results from bees in the orchard are obtained when the trees are low. This will enable the bees to pollenize the blossoms all over the trees and will also make the gathering of the fruit easier. Try hive of bees among the trees that have been shy bearers and note the results.

Selecting the Rrsedlne Female.

While fully realizing the importance of the male farm stock breeding, due importance should be given to the se- lection of the female in order to ob- tain the highest grade progeny. Short. ness or chubbiness of form in the fe- male should be carefully avoided, as such animals are not good breeders. Of course, the opposite extreme is just as objectionable, The animal should be clean cut, with a fine head, light jaw and long neck. The limbs should be delicate and of good length-that is, they should not be short and knotty nor yet long and thin. When the COW has horns avoid choosing for breeders those with short thick horns. 1t is difficult to describe the ideal animal, but the points are instinetively appar- ent to any close observer. In short, probably the best way to judge is to decline any female that has mascul- inc look in any marked degree, for tnls may be safely taken as an indiea- ton that she will fall short of the mark. in some important respect, as 8 breeder

OPEN HEARTH STEEL.

The announcement from Birming-
ham, Alabama, that the great steel
plant at kns1ey will be in full opera
ton within the next thirty days. with
a capacity of l 900 tons of daily out
put. is of more than ordinary in
dustrial Importance. The Southern
iron ores contain too much or too
little phosphorus to admit of being
successfully treated by the ordinary
Bessemer processes in making steel.
This fact has heretofore practically
kept the Southern producers out of
steel market.
But the great plant at Ensley has
been specially constructed, at a cost
of $1,000, 000, for the purpose of
treating the refractory Alabama
Tennessee ores by what is called
1.-the open hearth process" which
insures the production of steel of the
finest quality. 1t is said that the
entire output for year to come has
been sold ahead in the European
markets.
No doubt the South NAV hereafter
successfully compete with the North,
as we'll as in foreign markets. for the
| production of steel in advanced forms
of manufacture. With gradually
increased output consumers ma!
reasonably expect a gradually de
creasing price. The present higf
level Of prices, if maintained, would
lead to check in important bushes:
| ventures. and the new departure il
the South may be. therefore, deemed
a matter of general advantage. -
