S Bsos'int the Orchard.

At the Oregan experiment station
they forced number of peach trees
into bloom under glass last November,
and introduced a colony Of bees into
the house, first protecting one tree SO
that the bees could not get to it: From
that tree all the fruit dropped, and
the fruit was so abundant that it
was necessary to thin it out severely.
This shows very clearly how much
every orchardist is indebted to the
beekeeper for the success Of his fruit
crop, as without the bees there would
not be insects enough to pollenize the
blossoms. 1t should suggest to them
also the wisdom Of having few
colonies in their orchards. ~

Water for Bees.

I. Water is a necessity for bees, al
though they do not visit watering
places at all times. Bees need water
when rearing brood, providing they
are not gathering nectar from flowers.
When gathering honey from blossoms,
the nectar gathered contains enough
water to supply them, but if the, flow
Of honey stops off suddenly, and the
bees have a.. large amount Of brood
OH hands, which they mostly have,
then they will make rush for water.
They use water too in theic com;
position of pollen and honey for manu-
featuring food for the young bees.
and of necessity must have it at
such times.
Convenient watering places should
be furnished them if running water
is not near the apiary. While they
may go long distances for water, yet
it pays to fix watering place for
them near the apiary. Frequently
they will water at watering tanks in
tended for stock, and thus be a hind
rance to the stock in getting sufficient
water, and in many cases drive the
stock entirely away from the water
during the day. This may be prevent
ed by furnishing watering place for
them near the apiary. Many bees are
drowned in open tanks or large open
vessels containing water, SO that the
watering place must be arranged with
floats of sticks or straw on the water
to prevent them from drowning. A
Ieaky barrel filled with water and
covered over makes an ideal watering
place for bees. Some use a salt barrel
as the bees seem to prefer the water
little salty, but much salt will not
be accepted by them.
When bees once get a start at water
ing at stock troughs or tanks. it is
very difficult to break them of 1t, and
only by furnishing them water, and
covering the stock tanks so they can
not get the water, can we get them
broken away, from them.-A. II: Duff.

Hygiene la the Air.

The chemical composition Of the at
mosphere varies very little. Whether
we take sample from the top of the
Himalayas or at sea level the con-
tents Of oxygen, nitrogen, etc.. are
practically the same. The favorable
effects Of high attitudes upon many
diseases cannot he explained by any
gaseous popularity in the composition
of the air, and is probably largely due
to the decrease Of microbes and dust.
Health resorts in pine, birth and oak
forests owe their beneficial effect to
the traces of hydrogen, and hydrocar-
bons in the shape Of essential oils and
aromatic products, which are found
in the air Of such localities.

keeping it too close, the same as other

. Deep cultivation cuts the roots. and
frequently, as when it is close to the
plant, by cutting one primary root it
destroys a large root growth. The
secondary roots near the severed end
make larger growth than If the pri-
mary root had not been cut, but this
extra growth is at the expense OF en-
ergy and material, and the live, avail
able growth of a severed root DOGS
not equal its growth if not severed.
Instead of deep cultivation increas-
ing the feeding capacity of the plant
it has the opposite effect.
When there is sufficient moisture in
The upper strata of the soil, Which
also contain the most available plant
food the roots Of the corn remain
near the surface. But as soon rs there
is lack of moisture near the sur
face, the roots go almost directly
downward. If the moisture in the
upper strata is increased, the roots
will turn upward. Hence the course
of the root is sometimes a series OF
curves. In the case Of protracted
drought, the course of the root is
steadily downward. until some reach
q depth of several feet. Usually. DUR
ing the first half of the corn's growth
the soil near the surface is moist ana
the roots do not penetrate deep. Ii
cultivation is close and deep, many
roots are destroyed. and some have
been led to believe that this induces
the roots to go deeper. The error is
easy. for as all the roots near the sur
face are destroyed, after time the
only roots are the deeper ones; and
also as the season progresses, the sur
face of the soil becomes drier, es-
pecially when there is deep cultiva-
ton. and the roots go deeper to get
moisture. Many of these roots will J.
cut by deep, close cultivation and the
effect is at once apparent.
! Such is the usual character of our
seasons that proper cultivation has in
view the conservation Of the
moisture of the soil, especially of its
upper strata. This can be accom-
plished by mulch, and it has been
found that fine earth is good mulch
few better in fact. If the surface,
say to depth of three inches, is fire.
quently stirred and fined. thus break
ing up capillarity. the moisture of the
soil is effectually conserved and cvap-
Grafton from the surface Of the,
soil is rendered to the mini
mum. This does not effect the capil-
larry rise of the water from the sub
soil into the soil. or disturb the roots.
Such cultivation can he done with
broad shovels or sweeps, instead of
,pointed, narrow shovels or blades, and
as these shovels may be made wide
enough to include all the space be-
tween the rows such cultivation very
thoroughly accomplishes the other pur-
poses Of corn cultivation at this time
the destruction Of weeds and grass.
Every rule has its exceptions, and
circumstances may make it advisable,
to depart from the cultivation suggest
ed above. In general. however, TAX
ing it for granted that the ground has
been properly prepared for, the re-
ccption of the seed, the. objects of
cultivation are q mulch Of fine surface
soil. and the destruction Of unproft-
able ,growths. There is no need to
stir the soil deep, to allow the roots to
