neglect. Moreover, it had golf links

Kite was president. major-domo, crack

wonder why more folks didn't move
to town, and to marvel if anybody left
it. 1t began to talk about its inter-

would be good thing for the rail-
road if it should come there. And it

THE STRAWBERRY BED.
the Plant that is Followed by
the hest Fruit.

When strawberry plants are in
bloom, any amateur may learn the Diff
ferences that mark the productive and
barren sorts. The large snowy
blooms, filled with bright yellow
stamens are the barren sort. Smaller
sized blooms with heads Of pistils,
like small, green strawberries, are the
fertile sorts. The barren plants are
the most vigorous and if let alone
viii out-grow the fertile plants. Then
the strawberry bed will be as white as
snow but will produce nc berries, and
persons say the plants have run out.
They have only run out in the sense
of not having pistiIlate plants to fer
tilize the staminate blooms. This is an
important fact with Strawberries. Ex-
anime bed when in bloom, and mark
the fertile plants, and when a new bed
is set, allow one fertile to every seven
barren plants. That is the writer's
rule, although some expert straw
berry culturists have one fertile to
every ten barren plants. Thus
planted, they will equalize themselves
by full crop of berries, not an unpro-
ductive plant being among them.
Of course, good culture must be given.
but that is another consideration
from having the plants pistillate or
fertile and staminate or barren. prop
erly interspersed. Botanically the
strawberry should produce both
staments and pistils in each flower and
every flower should produce berry.
This is the case with the alpine and
the wildwood Strawberries, but not. so
with the cultivated. hybridized and
perfected berries. To be sure each
bloom may have both stamens and pis-
ills, yet the latter may be 50 few that
their natural functions are Intellectual

BEES IN A BATHROOM.
Honey by n Big Working
Colony.

Honey bees of different times ana
countries have chosen many peculiar
locations for their homes, but none
have shown themselves more domestic
in their choice than a colony in north
west Baltimore, which has invaded a
dwelling-house. and cannot be induced
to go elsewhere. This colony, which
has thousands of members, has pre-
empted for its own use a part of the
dwelling 1915 Harlem avenue, occupied
by Mr.. E. j. Goldman, says the Balti-
more American.
When that gentleman moved into the
house, several years ago, he noticed
that large number of bees collected
around the windows of the bathroom
on the second floor, and, on observing
them closely, lac saw that they came out
and went into the opening in the house
wall through which the pipe from the
bathtub ran. He concluded that there
was a hive somewhere in the vicinity
of the bathroom, and on cutting out
small section OF the flooring he found
in the vacant space under the floor, and
between the joists, on which the floor
ing rested, what seemed to him mil
lion bees. with large amount of honey.
Tubs and large pans were brought
into requisition to hold the honey. The
honey combs stood at right angles to
the joists. They were an inch in thick
ness and about ten inches square. The
squares of honeycomb set on edge side
by side, completely filled the space be-
tween the beams. To take them it was
only necessary to detach them at each
side from the beam and lift them out.
The members of the family had all the
honey they wanted and it was freely
distributed to leighbors and friends.
The ''robbing" took place in the fall.
A small amount was left for the bees
to subsist upo,.. Mr.. Goldman thought
it would he better to transfer the bees
to hive and take them out of the
house. There were some disadvantages
connected with their presence in the
bathroom now, especially since the hole
had been bored in the floor to get at
them. The children could enter the
room and take the bees up from their
place by the double handful, and
smooth them along their laps with
their hands, but the workers of the
colony were opposed to certain mem
bers of the family, and stung them
whenever they got chance. That was
why Mr.. Goldman desired to put them
in hive in the yard.
The hive was prepared, and an effort
was made to induce the bees to enter it.
