The growing of fruit demands labor
at the proper time, and considerable
work Is done before spring opens.
Where growers have combined to keep
insects and parasites In check the re-
suit mas been beneficial If the labor
and cost of fertilizers must be consid-
cred 1t Is safe to assert that fruit
growers derive larger profits from rasp-
berries and blackberries than many Of
them deserve, as 1t is only when pick
ing and harvesting the crop that the
real labor Is performed. After such
crops are harvested some fields receive
but little care and cultivation, and 1t Is
seldom that manures or fertilizers are
applied, though the strawberry Is treat
ed differently. Enterprising fruit grow
ers maintain that it pays to give black
berry and raspberry canes good culti-
walton, and to apply fertilizers liberal
ly, as the increased crop of berries and
vigorous vines more than pay the ex-
pense. During periods of drought the
grassy rows of canes must compete for
moisture with intruders, and 1t often
happens that a dry period sets In just
at the time the berries are ripening,
and when moisture Is greatly needed.
When the soil Is clear Of grass and
weeds, and the surface of the ground
loose, the loss from lack of moisture is
greatly reduced.

Several of the State experiment sta
lions have shown by their tests loss of
fertility in barn and stable manure by
the old methods of handling It, which
suggest the Importance Of daily or
weekly hauling and spreading on the
fields. The latest experiments made by
the Ohio station prove that when ma
nure was thrown into tie. open barn
yard and permitted to lie there for
five months before being hauled to the
field it had value of $40 per ton.
When drawn directly to the field as
fast as it was made the value was
1925 per ton. When the manure was
sprinkled with ground phosphate rock
as fast as 1t was made in the stable,
thus preventing some loss of ammonia,
the value was $5.1S per ton.
The claim is made that at least one
third of the value Of the manure is lost
as 1t is usually put on the land with a
fork and that ten loads put on with a
manure spreader go as far and do as
much good as fifteen loads put on In the
old-fashioned, careless way.

In Texas, stored 1000 pounds of horse
mint honey in one season. But this Is
decidedly exceptional. Fifty pounds Of
comb honey or 100 Of extracted would
be considered a good average yield.
The latter sells, at wholesale, from 4
to Z cents pound, and retails at about
10 cents. Comb honey WHOLESALERS from
10 to 10 cents pound, and retails at
about 16 cents a pound.
But agriculture does not live to itself
alone. 1t has been proved, beyond the
shadow of doubt, that many crops Of
fruits, vegetables and grain are greatly
improved, both In quantity and quail
ity, by the agency of the bees In bring
ing about perfect fertilization Of the
blossoms Some flowers remain abso-
lutely sterile unless pollen Is conveyed

branches of the apple trees are almost

Possibilities of Bee-Keepfng.
Fifty years have witnessed wonder
ful changes In most industries, but
none greater than have been made In
modern bee culture. In our grandfath-
ers days bees were kept In straw
-skeps." log gums" and box hives. At
ter toiling through the long summer to
lay up store Of sweets, the cold days
of autumn saw the bees consigned to
the sulphur pit, while their combs Of
honey were mashed up and hung In a
muslin bag before the fire to drip
strained honey was the resultant
sometimes there was a decided flavor
of bee-bread and birthstone.
The interior Of a beehive was a seal
ed book until 1852, when, the genius
of Langstroth, by the invention of the
movable comb-hive broke the seal and
allowed man to scan the wonderful
pages. This was the first, the revolu-
tlonary step OF modern bee-culture-
the foundation of all subsequent i'm
provements
To-day bee culture is almost an ex-
act science. There is money in the
business and the question is often ask
ed: what are the profits Of beekeep-
ing?" They vary from less than moth

A crowd Of Russian farmers, the first
OF this class of immigrants to arrive
at Philadelphia in any considerable
numbers, reached there recently on the
American liner Friesland, from Liver
pool. There were many who had
fought for their country against japan
and who still wore the military ~
forms In which they had been dis
charged.
There were in all $50 of these much
sought-after farmhands, nearly all of
whom are members of the Greek ORTIZ
odox church. Most of the immigrants
left last night for Illinois, Minnesota.
Nebraska and the Dakotas. Though
iliiterate, they are Industrious and
thrifty. The leader Of the party stated
that, owing to the political and eco
nomic crisis, 100000 farmhands will
leave Russia this year for the United
States. coming principally from the
Dneiper and Don districts, the richest
farming districts of the country.

Traverse City, Mich.-Riding on the

one of the most perilous trips across

bottom of Lake Michigan being mar

James for burial on the island
Just as dangerous as the trip over.
If not more so, was the return trip.
With others, he left the Beaver is-
lands yesterday morning, heading for

GREAT RATS ON OCEAN.
immense Loads of Timber Trans
ferred Over the Sea.

Nearly as large as the largest trans
sea RATS by means of which timber is
transferred from the Columbia river
and Puget sound to San Francisco or
southern California. Occasionally
these bundles of logs measure $50
feet from end TO end and contain as
many as 5000 pieces of timber To
fasten such a raft so that it will with
stand the force of the seas to which
it is exposed in the trip down the
coast no little engineering skill is re-
quired. AS the cigar shape offers less
resistance to the force of the waves
than any other, this has been adopted,
In order to pile the timber in this
form a huge skeleton or shipway is
constructed. This is practically a
cradle. which Is moored in the water
adjacent to the boom where the raft
timber is confined. BY means OF a
boom derrick the poles and piling are
lifted from the boom singly and
placed in the proper position in the
cradle. They are SO adjusted as TO
overlap each other, the plan followed
being somewhat similar to that in lay
ing a brick wall the end of each stick
being placed opposite the center OF
the one adjacent to 1t.
After completion the raft is wrapped
with iron chains dashed around il at
intervals ranging from II to 20 feet
apart. These chains are composed u
one and oue-half Inch links and the
ends are toggled together after the
chains have been stretched taut by a
hand or steam windlasS. To prevent
the chains from slipping iron staples
are driven through the links into the
outside poles In addition to the
chains however. side lines, as they
are called. consisting of wire rope. are
stretched around the raft between the
chain sections, so that when the
wrapping is completed the mass II
logs is bound together very securely
When the wrapping is finished the
raft is ready for launching
