Kent County Census.

1t is now settled that Kent county
will be deprived of the additional mem
Der of the Legislature. to which she is
apparently entitled. The ease is II most
peculiar one throughout. 1t appears by
the State Census, Kent county needed
but 24O additional names. over and above
those enumerated. to give her this rep
rcscntative. These names cannot be
procured. although the Federal census
lists show 5000 names not on the state
books. The latter show. for their part,
1000 names not ON the Federal lists. As
the time is too short for the discrepancies
to he corrected, Kent must suffer the
dcprivatiop of one member of the House
of Delegates. If the differences between
the State and Federal Census are any
thing. it means that there are 1000 peo-
pie in Kent county who have not been
enumerated.

Bees and Alfalfa.

The introduction Of alfalfa into
Kansas has made the state richer by
one million dollars. But the discov-
cry that the honey bee. can feed on al
falfa has added another million. Bees
and alfalfa are an ideal combination.
Experiments have been made by rails
ers of honey bees and they report most
favorably upon the blossom of the al
falfa.
Alfalfa contains certain degree of
sweetness not found in either the
sweet clover or white clover. Every
stock-bfeeder knows that in-and-in
breeding will cause a deterioration in
the strain of stock, Ipfusions of new
life are required to give new life and
vigor to the breed. AS it is with ami
mails SO it is with plants. Cross ferti-
lization must take place to keep up
the standard. It was once supposed
that within each flower are the nee
essary means for assuring the forma-
ton Of the embryo within the seed.
The truth is that many plants, in
stead of endeavoring to facilitate self
fertilization, are so constructed as to
prevent it. Alfalfa is Of this class.
The pollen or fertilizing agent must
be carried from one blossom and plac-
ed where it is needed in another to in
sure q full crop of seed, and some for
eign agency is depended on to accom-
plish the purpose. In the case of al
falfa, currents of air are unable to
carry the pollen and accomplish the
cross-feFti1fzation, and most insects
do not carry it. Here is where the
bee is useful. The alfalfa blossoms

change goes on. to the mutual profit
of the owner of the alfalfa and the
keeper Of the bee. Saturday Evening
