Bees Useful to Farmers.

The great value and usefulness OF
the common honey bee on the farm
has been tersely put by Prof. w. p.
Hedrick of the agricultural college of
Michigan. He says: The fruit grower
who complains of bees is an ungrate-
full wretch. At best fair exchange is
no robbery, but the bees take nothing.
A crop of honey removes no fertility
from the soil, no substance nor flavor
from the fruit, nor even the fragrance
from the flower. Multitudes of bees
may store their hives with "choicely
cu!led sweets" from your orchard. and
you may take 1t and feast yourself IN
the apple blossom favored honey. or
you may sell it for dollars and cents
yet neither your trees nor your farm
Is the loser by one pennys worth. II
the bees take little toll from the
fruit, what of It? Should they not he
repaid for officiating at the nuptlals
OF your fruit blossoms But do they
take toll?

SubsoiI for Fruit Trees.

On the subsoil depends a great deal.

on a side-hill that will permit the
water to run off through the soil that
lies above the subsoil But on other
kinds of land the subsoil, IL imper.
vious, will cause the trees to grow
slowly and bear fruit lightly. Bad
drainage and impervious subsoils
largely go together. We have seen
land that was friable on top and down
a little way was composed Of layer
of stones and clay so closely inter-
mixed that II almost seemed that a
great fire had melted them and they
had run together. II such subsoil can
not be improved It is better to put
the fruit trees in some other place.
The surest way to improve the sub
soil is by drainage. That lowers the
water table in the soil in winter and
lets the frost in to pulverize the
ground. Where the land is undrained
the water table protects all the soil
below 1t from the action of frost. We
have known of clay soils through
which the drains were dug to a depth
Of four feet. For a year or two 1t did
not seem to make much difference
with the general character of the soil,
for the frost had not had time to work.
But after the frost for two or three
winters had got in to the soil the
whole character of the ground seemed
to be changed.
For the growing of apple trees es
pecially it is best to select land where
the subsoil is already in right condi
ton, so that the roots may go down
several feet If necessary. This makes
it easy for the tree to send its roots
deeply and to get down into a moist
layer Of soil. Trees in such locations
stand drouth well and show greer
leaves when all things else seem t.
be turning brown with drouth.

AGRICULTURE!
SUGAR Beet Seed.

The proper selection OF the seed is
the first requisite in planting, says
a bulletin OF the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. At present most
of our best beet seed is imported from
Germany and France. AS with other
commodities, there are a few standard
varieties, the quality OF which Is well
known. These standard varieties are
also in the hands OF responsible and
established firms. Very serious mis-
takes are sometimes made In the
selection of seed. The entire crop Tor

low quality and with consequences
that were serious and far-reaching'

farmer can test the seed by germinat-
ing a certain number OF seeds be-
tween two dampened blotters kept
warm and moist. He can observe
what percentage terminates. AS each
seed or ball has from one to hVe
germs. there should not be less than
$50 sprouts from 100 balls. II, In ad-
dition, so per cent of the balls pro
duce as much as one sprout each, the
seed can be considered good from
the standpoint of vitality. The best
method to pursue with relation to
seed is to consult the nearest reliable
source of information, such as fac
tory or an experiment station which
is making tests.

appears in a community it has a sail
waiting effect on horses, but later that
effect disappears, either because the
animals get used to it or because It ex-
hausts something in the soil that
causes the salvation. The stockmen
of the South have come to recognize
this as valuable forage plant, even
though it is small grower.
Seed should be sown late In the
spring after the ground has become
warm. The land should be well pre-

Terrible disgrace to his family!

Japan Clover.

We herewith illustrate a clover that
has been much talked about during
the last few years. 1t was imported
some years ago, an initial consign-
ment coming from japan to Charles
ton, South Carolina. The scientist
calls 1t Lespedeza strata. 1t Is a
summer growing plant that thrives on
light soils. After its introduction in
to the Carolinas it spread with great
rapidity, the seed being carried by
the birds. 1t is not likely to thrive
north of the Ohio river If left to itself.
If it is grown at all further north, it
will have to be sown in the spring,
with the certainty that it will kill out
in the winter Even then it may prove
useful in some locations. just as is
the case with crimson clover
