Of the characteristics which go toward

absurd to suppose that her charms

women are far more attractive be-

Piroh Raspberry Tips sparingly.

The pinching back Of growing rasp'
berry canes in order to force the
growth OF lateral wood is frequently
practiced by berry growers, but was
thought to be an unWise proceeding.
Two sets of experiments were, there
fore, tried with biackcaps and red va
rieties, with the following results: In
the prunPd row the stumps were more
numerous than in the unpruned, and
where both tips and laterals had been
pinchcd, more still. There We're fewer
berries, or rather q lighter yield, in
the pruned than in the unpruned rows.
This might have been expected be-
cause the larger the number of canes
the poorer the fruit, as rule. The
smallest yield was from plants trimmed
in both laterals ard stems.
Tie reason for this increased number
Of stumps or canes is that the rasp.
berry produces its new growth from
the bases Of the old, or two-yearold
stems. In this way the new canes re-
semble the lateraIs produced higher
up on the stem, the difference being
that they may not and normally Go not
appear the season the cane fruits, but
push into growth the spring following.
For these reasons. therefore, pinching
induces the increased development Of
these buds at the bases Of the stems,
which wait only favorable conditions
to develop.
From these trials the conclusion was
drawn that great care must be exer'
cised to remove as little as possible OF
the tips by summer pinching and to
depend mainly upon the thinning OF
the stems after the leaves have fallen
or at least late enough to insure tins

Robber Bees.

The strongest bees are put on duty
for guards, it is these guard bees that
dart out at you. With the Italian bee
or the milder Cyprian, if you do not
notice them they will merely buzz near
your face a moment and leave you 4
But often the cross black bees will A
come at you with the intention of
singing you, especially if there is rain
brewing, or they are short of resin in
the hive or your clothes are perfumed
with some scent they dislike, tobacco,
for instance. On account of these
guard bees, and the keen scent they
employ to single out enemies-as they
know every bee of their own house by
this scent as well as sight-i5 is almost
impossible for strGnge bees to pass
them into the hive, But the robber
bees do not come single handed, they
come when the worker bees are far
afield, and killing the guard and nurses
barring their way, they buzz in and
clean out the hive. Sometimes the
worker bees stay at home to resist the
attacks and the strongest side is victor
but it usually ends in the demolition
of the colony and the fighting, robbing
spirit spreads to other colonies. 1t is
strange about bees in this line; if they
find a starving bee they viii feed and
care for it tenderly, but in case OF a
weak colony they are almost sure to
sneak in and steal their small store.
They are very much like nations of
human kind in this respect.
Ants and those fly bees which look
so much like a bee that even bees
are sometimes deceived by them, they
usually rid themselves of. But the bee
keeper must keep a close watch. Ants
are bad in this country, and most bee
/ stands are made with tapering legs and
set in cans or crooks Of water. Last
winter l saw a fine stand of bees
brought to starvation because the
owner neglected setting the stand legs
in water. In every hive the bees
starved before half the winter was
over, and all on account Of the fall in
roads of ants.
AS the bee must 80 into over 100
