The Busy Bee.

The value of $25,OO0,000 placed on
the annual output of honey puts this
farm crop only slightly behind raw
cane sugar, which had a valuation at
the refneries of $2S,000,0O0. Compare
sons with the output of the siXty-fOur
beet sugar factories, which have ca
pacity of 49.500 tons of beets daily,
may seem odious. Yet the product of
this codGled and fOstered industry
$40, 0,O00-was less than double that
of the busy hive communities.
The bee in effect pays the interest
on the public debt-S24. 310,326. Shall
not the insect which Napoleon made an
| imperial emblem, have some state recOg-
milton such as Massachusetts gives to
the Goldfish in its legislative halls? AS
matter of fact, the products of the
New England fisheries, which have been
the subject of treaties and interna-
tional conventions and occasionally
raised the specter of war, amount in
value to only half the bees product.
At least the bee deserves a share in
ished on the hen. This industrious
worker maintained it's reputation dur
ing the year by giving poultry products
value of $600000,0O0, exceeding that
of the wheat crop. That the dairy
products counted for more than any
crop except corn testifies to the impor-
lance of another of the humber farm
industries. The great proportions to
which the lesser agricultural products
have grown, the orchards with their
minor item of l, 754.927 barrels of cider,
the $113,000,000 worth of miscellaneous
vegetable, the 100000 tons of cotton
seed, once plantation waste but now
furnishing the equivalent in value of
seven 20,00O-ton battle ships, make a
nature wonder story of never-failing
interest.-New York World.

A good straight cottonwood tree d
quarter Of a century old will yield

Der. On this basis cheap land could
proitably be put to growing lumber.
You can generally conclude that a
farmer who does not have a tele-
phone nowadays is about five years
behind the times, which means as
much as twenty years would some
years ago.
All this talk about the simple life
and simple ways of living is timely and
proper, but some people carry it so
far that they might justly be suspi-
cioned of leading the simple life that
some follow at State institutions.
Before attempting to climb into an

could easily be prevented by a little

Remember that the horse has small

of grain and roughage given him.
