filed with hay and farming tools was
burned TO the ground. 1t was the

The comptroller of the currency,
Mr.. Dawes, has just made public an
abstract of the condition Of National
banks in the state of Vermont The
abstract applies 10 the condition at
the close OF business on June 30, but
the intervening time has been re-
quired for collecting and digesting the
individual reports from the different
banks.
The abstract shows that the average
reserve held on June 80 was 1886 per
cent as against 1895 per cent held on
April 5, when the last report from the
state of Vermont was made. Loans
and discounts have increased from
SlI. s73, 1913 TO sI2,042, 967, while the
amount Of stocks and securities held
have increased from =. 23l, 3s3 10
-, 33S, 1873. The total of gold coin
held by the Vermont National banks
has increased from S529, sec to $685.

$3.50, 235; lawful money reserve from
sg22. $40 to S960,e7l, aud individual
deposits from -, sl9,3 TO $40, =
l36. All these increases are based on
the showing made April 9Th last. II
is regarded as a very favorable one
for the banks and for the people Of
the Green Mountain state.

Barre,s Monument to Burns.

The eliminating event of three
years of effort came Friday afternoon
when the Barre monument to Robert
Burns was unveiled. II was pre-
eminently day for the Scotch peo-
pie of the city. The monument is a
gift from the Burns club to the
city in a special sense but in larger
one it is gift from the Scotch peo-
pie of Barre and vicinity to their
adopted home, showing alike their
patriotism and loyalty to the land of
their birth and its traditions and
their devotion and love for their new
allegiance. A conservative estimate
of the number Of people who witness
ed the various exercises places it at
not less than $4,000.
Among the guests of honor were:
Governor Smith, Senator Ross, Con-
gresham Grout, Gen. VIII. Gilmore,
Col. j. G. Brown, Col. Frank l..
Greene, Judges Taft, Rowell, Ross
and Watson.

The Dewey Cannon.

The smart little town of Three
Oaks, Mich, has won the old Spanish
cannon sent by Admiral Dewey for
the Maine monument fund. BY the
terms of the contest the place making
the largest contribution according to
population should have the highly
priced relic. With a population of
only about 500, Three Oaks raised
81, 1890 and won the prize. The
event was fittingly observed by pub
lie demonstration. The result is
particularly interesting to Vermont
ers from the fact that the winning
was largely due TO the efforts of +. h.
Warren, native of East Berkshire,
president of the Featherbone COM
pany of that place. The featherbone
designed to take the place OF whale
bone consists OF patented combina-
ton of quilts and was invented by
Mr.. Warren in 1884. The invention
is proving a great success and not
only is building up Three Oaks,
where the factory is located, but is
making Mr.. Warren rich.

Honey Bees as Pollen Distributors.
The honey bee as a pollen diStribu-
tor, says the National Rural is perhaps
of greater value to this country than
the crop Of honey produced. 1t has of
late years occurred to scientists that
the honey bee is of more benefit to dis
tributing pollen than all other sources
combined. That we are largely indebt
ed to the honey bee for both quantity
and quality of our fine fruits there is
but little doubt. Not only fruits but
vegetables, and cereals commonly
grown on the farm.
Bees are not the only insects that are
valuable in pOllenizing flowers, but If
we note very closely we will find that
only on a very small scale compared
with the honey bees do other insects
accomplish much Of this work. The
honey bee is a general pollen gatherer
wherever pollen is to be found, and
thus works an extensive territory. Bees
thoroughly canvass several miles in di-
ameter in search of both pollen and
honey, and are always pollen distribu-
tors whether they are engaged in gath
ering honey or pollen.
Who has not seen the cornfields
with their heavy laden tassels of pollen
swarming with honey bees? Also the
clover fields, the buckwheat fields, the
orchards, the vegetable fields, the
strawberry fields, and almost every
wild flower that produces either fruit
or seed is daily visited by the busy bee,
perhaps every hour in the day, thus
distributing pollen from flower to flow
er, industriously performing the work
that nature intended them to do.
Fruit growers Of the present have
awakened up to the fact that the hon
ey bee is their best friend, and that
bees and fruit growing must be closely
combined, and the strawberry man has
found that his berry patch is almost
blank without honey bees. So it is all
along the line of this immense field OF
labor depending upon the honey bees
principally for successful returnes.
Who would not be friend to the hon
ey bee, one of natures gifts to man?
That there are not enough bees to thor
oughly supply this want there is little
doubt; many neighborhOods have but
few colonies of bees. In support of this
1 would refer you to the State of Cali
fornia, which is the most extensive
Bookkeeping state in the Union, and also
the same in the production of fruit
