filled, water is thrown on to Stake the

The question OF whether bees pune

various standpoints for good many
Years, and the conclusions reached by
most thinkers and Investigators the
subject are that bees do not puncture
grapes, but suck the juice of grapes
only after they have burst open or
Deen bitten by BIRDS Prof. r. L. Tay-
Tor of the Michigan Experiment Sta
ton has conducted some experiments
that would seem to put the question
at rest. His observations were that
the bees worked only on the Delaware
and Lady grapes. varieties that burst
open badly in wet seasons Prof. Tay-
1or placed 1000 sacks on clusters OF
thirteen different varieties of grapes
so that the bees could not get at them.
Toward the close of the experiment it
was found that the grapes inelosed in
sacks were suffering more than those
that were left uncovered, and many of
the grapes had burst open The ex-
perimenter concluded that the sucking
away Of the juice of the grapes by the
bees is direct benefit rather than an
Injury. in that these juices are pre-
vented from flowing upon sound
grapes, and thus increasing the amount
of the injury by the cracking Of the
skin.
The question of reforesting burned
over areas is of Importance to all in
terested in forestry and incidentally
in horticulture. When large areas are
burned over it takes many years to
cover them with anything, even with
grasses. When a small space only is
covered, the heat is not so intense as
to destroy all plant germs in the soil,
but in the case of great fires even the
fertility, with all seeds in the soil. is
destroyed Some recent Investigations
In Colorado showed that regions that
had been burned over in 1881 had not
begun to show any kind of tree growth
till six years afterward, and that thir-
teen years afterward small pines only
were found, and though these trees
were found investigation to be
sev~n years old, they had attained {
height of only twenty inches. To fully
comprehend what this means ont
should measure off twenty inches ii
height from any object-the floor o.

height represents seven years o

it take to cover that region with
