counted for that sigh and the view

1t was a Sunday afternoon In the late
June, hot and unusually still for that
windy country, but the rolling
stretches Of prairie grass and the green
fields of young wheat and corn still
held the freshness Of early spring.
But the cloud, mo larger than q

form or other.
One was at that moment rising lazily
on the western horizon, over the low.
green hills. just a faint summer cloud,
unseen by the girl, whose eyes were
fixed on a nearer and, to her, much
more attractive object. This, as is apt

He was Of middle size, dark-haired
and featured, like herself, and clad in
the careless costume of overalls and

exposure to sun and weather, and the
battered sombrero of light felt, which
were usual in his everyday occupation
Of farming.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Good, ripe, extracted honey weighs
three pounds to the quart. 1t is one
third heavier than water, because OF
its density.
Over-irrigntion not only waterlogs
the soil, but tends to increase the
evil effects of alkali that the land may
naturally contain.
Buckwheat may be fed literally in
the rations of the heavier breeds Of
fowls. They relish it greatly and
there is no tendency to overfatness.
In variety of food is more likely
to be found all the elements of nutri-
tion; and then variety is better for
live stock, because they eat it with
more relish.
The farm horses for a while now
will be kept very busy most of the

ties of the crop will permit.

Tho Pollinntion of CIoxcr.

II has long been believed that the
bumblebee is about the only insect
that can perform the nc, of polination
for the common red clover plant, to
an extent that could be considered of
economic importance. For long
time this theory held sway undoubted.
Then it was disputed by many saying
that the bumblebee had little TO do
with the production of clover seed.
The following experiment was con-
Quoted in order to determine some
thing on this point: A box six feet
square and about twenty-five inches
high was made. 1t was open ut both
ends. but the top was covered with
common mosquito netting. This was
placed in clover field before any Of
the plants had blossomed.
When the first crop of clover was
cut for hay the box was removed and
100 clover heads were picked that had
been grown under the screen. At tlfe
same time 100 heads were collected
that had grown outside of the screen.
The box was then placed over other
plants and allowed to remain until the
second crop had matured. One hum
dred heads were again collected from
under the box, and 100 from outside
as before. Besides these, one hun
dred heads were picked from plants
near bumblebees' nest. After dry.
ing the clover heads in a mildly-heated
oven, the seeds were carefully removed
and counted. The result showing the
number of seeds in each 100 heads
was as follows: First crop, covered, 0;
uncovered, 10. Second crop, covered,
2; uncovered, 612. Near bumblebees
nest, 2300 OF course all insects
were excluded, but the experiment
proves that insects are necessary and
we know that bumblebees are the
principal workers in the pollination OF
clover blossoms. SO the old theory
| still holds,
