MuIehins Trees With Grass.

In some parts of the country or
chardists are following the practice Of
leaving the orchard in sod and mulch
ing with the grass that grows on the
sod. That is, If the sod be blue grass
the grass is allowed to grow to a cef-
tain height, say to foot. and is then
cut and allowed to lie under the tree s
and rot or dry up. as the case may be.
The idea O: the orchardist is to keep
all the fertility in the soil except what
the fruit takes out.
We fail to see the wisdom of follow
ing this course. II the orchard is left
in sod and the grass moved why not
take the grass off and feed 1t to stock
and thus get the good OF the carbon
that is in it. There are certain parts
of plants that do not get back into the
soil at all. The grass is worth more to
feed than for manure. II the grass
were made into hay and the hay sold

the orchard much greater bulk than
would the rotting of the grass.

keted. In this case the farmer moved
his orchard, made the timothy into
hay, fed it to his cows and put the
manure back on his lanG. Another
year he did the same with the clover
that was growing on the same orchard
area. We are a little doubtful about
the expediency of moving land
around the trees and letting the grass
rot.
In some cases, too. We have seen
trees so far apart that the grass, in
stead of rotting. would dry up and go
into the air in large part during the
hot days of summer. If there is any
good reason for following the practice
of mulching with grass. as it is called
we would like to hear from some of

Rash Statements as to AIf.If,.

l was attending stock meeting
the other day when one man rose up
and said that he had raised alfalfa
for fifteen years and had fed 1t to
his sheep all that time, and he had
come to the conclusion that alfalfa
is worth no more for feeding purposes
than oat straw. Such statements are
exceedingly rash and can but hurt the
reputation of the men that make
them. We know something about the
value of oat hay for feed and know
that an animal cannot eat enough to
keep in good condition, let alone put.

men that have been feeding alfalfa.

The Honey Bee.


The oldest literature of the world
contains frequent illusions to the bee
and its honey. The Hindu. Egyptian,
Hebrew, Grecian and Roman writer's
refer much to what the Latin poet
Horace calls the golden treasures OF
the bee" Back in old Grecian days,
Plato wanted law ito run as follows"
about poisoning: He who employs
poison to do any injury. not fatal. to
man himself. or to his servants, or
any injury, whether fatal or not, to
his cattle or his bees" should be pun
ished by death or as the court might
determine. Six hundred years B. c. 1t
was one of the laws of Scion,
Greece's lawgiver. that 'if any one
should raise stocks of bees, he was
to place them three hundred feet from
those already raised by another"
Strangely enough our American In
dams did not have these busy workers
to provide for them. The hive bee
was brought to America du,ing d
seventeenth century, it is supposed.
Swarms escaped continually, of course.
and Thomas Jefferson noted that the
bees have generally extended them
selves into the country little in ad-
vance of the white settlers. The In
dians therefore called them the white
mans fly"
Washington Irving says: The In
| dians consider them the harbinger OF
the white man. as the buffalo is OF the
red man. and say that in proportion as
the bee advances the Indians and the
buffalo retire."
Last December | met Mr.. W. F..
Marks, of Clifton Springs, n. Y. who
| Is president of the New York Associa-
tion of Beekeepers' Societies. Mr..
| Marks, like most successful keekeep-
ers, Is an enthusiastic friend of his
Tiny workers. He calls attention to
the fact that the bee thrives in every
state of our Union, and the total num-
ber of colonies is near three-quarters
of 4 million. The last census places
the number of colonies in New York
at 22,7 The association has secured

and of honey on the market. When
one per cent of any adulterant has
been used with honey. the product can
not be sold on the market under the
name of honey"
ton that counterfeit comb honey
can be manufactured. The falsity of
the statement is evidenced by the
standing reward OF $1,000 offered by
the National Beekeepers' Association
for pound of such honey. II is one
| of the idle stories that should die.
there not being single instance of a
| claim for the reward.
Extracted honey is sold largely to
manufacturers of cakes, and its price
is affected by the trust that controls
the manufacture of the cakes.
Mr.. Marks reminds us that the
| honey bee is the only insect of value
whose product is finished. 1t fur
nished the only sugar in very early
times. Its product to-day is not ex-
celled in delicacy by any manufac-
tured sweet. 1t is a friend of the hui

The Dual-Purpose Cow.

/ have heard a great deal during
the last few years about the dual-pur-
pose COW. First it was the general
purpose cow, but people poked SO
much fun at that poor animal that
she disappeared and a dual-purpose
cow took her place. If man can sell
his butter or milk or even his cream
| fail to see the good OF keeping
dusl-purpose COW. Why do 1 want to
be paying tribute to the king of beef

be too old to make tender beef any.
way. Does any man expect that even
a dual-purpose cow that has been
milked for dozen years will bring
even fair price for beef? I believe
that the fattening up of such n COW
would take about all the profit at the
present high price for corn. The
sooner our farmers get out of the no.
ton of trying to walk two different
ways at the same time the sooner will
they reach some kind of destin.
