BEES MAKE rh.l. v.
Honey the Least Of t.'e Prc..a iioTs
Busy Insects.

Honey producing is only one Of tx
missions OF the bee. Indeed, for actual
profit, the honey is but minor item
Some years ago | moved to small
place up the Hudson river wanted
a bee farm and selected for that pur-
pose spot among apple, cherry and
plum trees, some of which had never
borne fruit, others none for years
past. My landlord told me / might cut
down certain trees, as they were
out some fine nursery stock.
Being busy | did not cut the trees
down. They blossomed freely and of
course we paid no further heed to
them than to break blooms by the
armful when we wanted floral deco
rations.
The cherry trees were, much to the
owners. astonishment, loaded with
very large, perfect fruit He could not
understand it, such thing had not
happened for years.
Early in the autumn while waiting
for a swarm of bees to settle OBJ
served number of fine apples upon
one of the smaller condemned trees.
When the landlords attention was
called to them he was completely mys-
tilted and called in his neighhors to
see the wonder.
Later we gathered from this tree
nearly barrel Of the finest fall pip
pins ever seen in that vicinity.
No argument would convince the
man that them pesky bees had any
thing to do with the yield of fruit on
the place He insisted that some sort
of fertilizer must have been used.
Since that time | have demonstrated
by scores of experiments that trees
which had for many seasons borne lit
tie good fruit, or possibly none 'at all,
have been brought up to high stand
ard of productiveness by the presence
OF bees They carried the pollen. fer
tilized the blossoms and bountiful
harvest was the result.
Regardless of the honey crop, every
fruit grower should have few col
onies of bees. If when the bloom sea-
son is past there is so little nectar in
mdscason flowers that the bees must
be fed it is decided economy to feed
them, as in cases where a strict ac-
count has been kept the cash value of
orchard products alone has been
doubled by their assistance.-Suburb

DEIvER TELLS OF STRAIN.
Nervous Tension Of Niar at Wheel Of
Automobile,

The nervous tension under which
the driver OF an automobile racer la
bors has been graphically described
by two Vanderbilt cup chauffeurs.
Clement says: When you first start,
the ground seems to be rising up in
front Of you, as II to hit you in the
face-that is, until you get your auto
eyes adjusted. But even then there's
always the thrill, and you haven't
time for anything but the thrill and
the watching Of the long, narrow road
In front. You haven't time to see what
is on one side or the other. The peo-
ple-that's about all we had on the
sides in the Vanderbilt cup races-
just seem to be black-andw bor-
der to the dark streak in front. Yes;
you hear them shout, but by the time
you realize it you are gone" And
Wagner describes his sensations in
Outing as follows: Beginning the
eighth lap nearly eight minutes in the
lead, the mental and physical strain
became acute. My brain was in
dizzy whirl, and my hunger amounted
almost to famine. But the price of
satisfying it was prohibitive when
every minute counted The constant
crashing and lunging of the car the
vigilance required at the frequent
turns, the haunting fear of fatalities,
and the anxiety regarding tires and
mechanism were so eXhausting that
we lost over two minutes on the
eigth round. Hunger remorseless and
fanged was gnawing, ,gnawing
gnawing with almost sinister persist
ency, as it seemed So we began the
ninth and final round"

What He Wanted to Know.

How early in life the value of
"solid" gold ard sterling" silver is
impressed on us is illustrated by an
incident told with much enjoyment by
delegate from Mississippi who at
tended recent convention. One Of
his neighbors calling to bid him god
speed brought his six-year-old son
with him. and to amuse the youngster
he was shown the aquarium where
numerous gold fish glittered and glis-
tened. After gazing at them In ad-

Two Historic cabarets.

Two old Sevres cabarets, each with
an interesting history of its own, will
be included in the porcelain sale at
Christie's, says writer in the Pail
Mall Gazette The first, painted with
festoons of flowers, was formerly the
property of Marie Antoinette, and was
given by Louise Lefevre, her valet de
Pied to George Earl of Essex, and by
him to Miss Fannie Kelly, the actress,
in 1918, from whom it descended to
the present owner, who is Miss Kel-
ly's adopted daughter. The second,
painted with musical and amatory no~
phies, was presented by George Nv
when Prince of Wales to Mrs. Rob
inson, the celebrated actress, and at
the sale of her husbands effects was
purchased by John Graham. In the
same sale will be found Chippendale
mahogany bookcase, exquisitely carv-
ed, which was formerly at the Kensing-
ton palace in the room in which
George H. died.
