That there is money to be made in

his Crystal White Orpington chickens

be sold at prices much above the av-
erage. owing to the excellent breed

AT the present time. there are in the
McIntrye pens about 200 young pull

Brain of the Bee.

In German scientific periodical @.
Jonescu gives the results Of his studies
of the brain Of the bee As might be
expected from its wonderful instincts.
this is found to be very complex. The
various divisions OF the brain. are de
scrlbed In detail, but perhaps the most
interesting part is the comparison of
the brains Of queens. workers. and
drones. The worker has Il larger brain
than the queen. and us the difference
between queen and worker is the re-
suit of diet during the grub stage 1t
appears that the food which develops
size of body and fertility is not best
for the growth of brain. The royal
jelly" as a mental stimulus Is fail
ure. In the drone the brain is not
larger than In the worker, but the OPP
tic lobes are large. corresponding to
the large eyes.

! at sunset Tuesday, and an old white
haired man stepped forward and rev.
erently kissed it. AS member of E

first raised there. 4 After kissing it,
lie turned and called on the crowd of
several hundred people who bad come
out from the city 10 be present at the
last retreat, to give three cheers. hut
the occasion was almost too solemn
for cheering, and they were wofully
weak.
Tuesday night the remaining offic-
ers, the band and handful of enlist
ed men under command of Lieutenant
Colonel Shnnk, left for Boise. and
Fort Walla Walla will be left with
caretaker until such time as congress
finally disposes of it, and as military
post its history has closed.
The time set for the farewell oere-
mony was 5:4h and for half an hour
before O'Clock people from the CITY

and gathered on the parade ground
near the staff.
Just before the band came out DR.. /.
John Tempany, Joseph MoEvey. Lew
is McMorris, J. J. Rohn and Michael
Jenney, all veterans who served when
the fort was first esta blished, lined
up in front of the flag.
Lieutenant Colonel Skunk, Major
Gardner, Captain Sabell and Captain
Hartmann stood beside them, while
picture was taken and then the officers
took their position at one side of the
band and next them a few non COM
missioned officers and enlisted men
who are still there.
Color Sergeants Kramer and Smith
held the halyards. ALI stood at atten-
tion while the band played "Auld
Lang Syne." Then came the last sun
set gun and then with the opening
strains of the national hymn all hats
came off and the flag futtered slowly
down.
DR.. Tempany gathered it in his
arms Eefore it touched the ground.
McEvoy stepped forward and kissed it,
and as the cheering which followed it
died away, the story of Fort Walla
