to him. The drones make q bluff
at working, flying around in the

for the queen. The workers do

do, it is sligo the whole hive is

the dust and dirt with great care,
aud if bug or mouse gets into tho
hive they will straightway kill the
intruder. Then if the body is TOO
big for them to drag out they will
cover it over and seal it up with
propolis, sticky substance which
the bees gather from buds or the
bark of trees.
A hive of $4,000 workers will
often bring in twenty pounds OF
honey in u day, if the flowers are
just right, and one man | know,
who owns eighy five hives, has had
his bees make ton of honey in
ten hours. And yet one bee gath
ers only grain Of honey day

The wax is secretion from the
bees body, but the honey they get
from the flowers. The object of
the honey in the flower is that the
insect will come and get itself
busted with pollen, which it carries
to the flowers. So besides gather
ing honey, bees do very neces-
sary work in the fertilization of
flowers.--Exchange.

Story Of the Bee

1t has been said: "Man is the
most wonderful Of all the works OF
God" but no one ever said so but
man. Bees can do things a man
cannot, and they know things man
never will. A queen bee will lay
more than 100000 eggs during
the summer. The eggs she lays
every day are about double her
weight. These eggs are all alike
when they hatch, but by feeding
the larva differently bees produce
drones, workers and queens at will!
1t only takes three days for the
eggs to hatch. The younger are
then fed by the nurse bees, which
are the bees under sixteen days
old. These nurse bees feed the
others from the glands in their

Flowing

The fact that practical farmers
vary so in their ideas of the prop
er methods of blowing shows that
it is a question of climate, crops
and conditions and not to be fol-
lowed according to any fixed rules.
Your neighbor may find 1t neces-
sary to plow to a different depth
with a different kind of plow and
at "a different time of the year than
yourself, simply because his land
may be heavy clay, low and wet,
and yours light dry loan.
The fact that the farmers above
quoted obtain good results from
shallow spring blowing illustrates
the necessity of adapting the meth
DDS cf cul,ivaling the soil to local
i conditions and regulate the time

necessary, tor no two fields are al
ways alike in the composition and

There still remain, however, GER
tain principles which should be

do well on shallow soil, the aver
age crop needs deep, mellow
seed bed, as deep as The fertile top
soil Will allow. Frequently a top
layer of fertile soil, but few
inches thick, is underlaid BY II

Do Men Know What Cleanliness Isa

The Board of Health of New
York City has declared that there
is but very small per cent. OF
milk received In that city that is
really fit for human food, without
pastourizlng, aud some of it is so
laden with manure and other dirt
that even pasteurizlng will not
make it fit. Every board of health
in the land will say about the same
thing. Every creamery butter
maker and every cheesemaker will
tell the same story about dirty and
manure laden milk. They find it
every morning when they come to
empty the cans. They know, and
every man with thimble full of
brains knows, that it is this wide
spread practice Of dirtiness among
farmers that is to blame tor this
condition of things.
The milk as it leaves the cows
udder is free from manure. But
her sides arc plastered with manure
put there in effect by the owner
He has no sense of cleanliness. Ii
he had he would not keep cows in
that condition. No man that is
clean in his ideas will keep a dirty
stable. The trouble lies back in
the mind of the farmer. He sticks
to the old. nasty, stanchion method
Of tying COWS, He will not pro-
vide bedding enough. Cows will
not lie down in wet, tilty places if
they can have the liberty to choose
a ary, clean place. The tact Is,
that this movement to have pure,
clean milk has run up against a
great mass of dirty, filthy farmers
who have not the first ideas OF
cleanliness 10 their minds to start
with. How is man going to
have clean cows and stables when
he does not understand what clean
illness meansl Then there is an
other portion who know better
but they don't care. If they Can
get rid of their dirty milk at the
creamery or cheese factory, OF
milk station, without being de-
tected, that ls all they care about
IT, Such men are dishonest. There
is only one way to take hold Of
these two class of men and make
them produce clean milk and thai

Tbey have no sense Of cleanliness
no pride of standing among men
no sentiment, of regard for the con

What is needed is y higher star,

general. A campaign of educa
non should b. had from all tn
