Protect the Bumblebees.

Tho bumblebee is one of the
most valuable little farm assistants
known to the sgriculturist. He is
necessary in the pollenzipg of bios
SONS in the orchards and meadows.
He destroys but little fruit. and
seldom attacks the cherry or apple
until it is too ripe for market or
family use. His mission on earth
is that of peace and prosperity In
Germany his life is protected bo
Legislative enectments. Here he
is chased about by the farmer boys
and killed on sight, His services
as farm and orchard assistant are
not appreciated.
Red clover blossoms do not form
seed until the pollen is thoroughly
mixed. For this reason. it is ar
gued in many sections of the coun
try, the first crop of clover is a.
failure as seod producer. The
bnmblebee does not cone from
his winter resting place in time to
work on the clover blossoms. and
hence the pollen is not handled as
it should be to form seeds. In the
early days of agriculture this was
merely a theory. Now it is pub
Iished as fact, and not denied by
any one at all familiar with the
nature of plant life.
