BEE The FARMERS FRIEND
In Cultivation Of Fruit and Seed Crops,
Busy Insect Is an invaluable
Aid

BeekeeDing Is valuable aid in ths
cultivation Of fruit and seed crops. In
sects which feed on nectar play an i'm
portant part in the fertilization Of
flowers. Fertilization is effected in
other ways. but the agency Of insects
is The more certain and efiicacious
and no other insect is comparable
with the honey bee in this respect.
A strong hive contains 10000 bees
in February. $4,000 in March. 10000
in April, and from 10000 to $4,000 in
May II has been discovered by skill
ful observers that the average load
Of nectar carried to the hive by a bee
is about three-tenths Of grain. so
that the collection OF one pound Of
nectar requires nearly $4,000 forag-
ing excursions.
BY means of hives set on balances
It has been found that the daily in
crease in weight in May averages
3.S pounds. Occasionally. more than
II pounds is gained in one day; and
when the amount consumed by the
bees and the loss Of weight by evap-
Grafton are considered, it appears
probable that the average daily guam
tity OF nectar collected is not less than
II pounds, which would load 100000
bees.
As bee visits ten flowers on the
average in collecting single load,
some 2,5OO,OOO flowers are visited in
one day by the bees of single hive.
An additional large number of visits
is required for the collection OF
pollen.
These figures explain why many
trees and plants bear small crops in
the absence Of bees.
The bee is charged with various
imaginary crimes. It's sting is formid-
able. but chiefly to the imprudent. It
is accused Of ravaging fruit, but its
tongue is formed exclusively for the
extraction of sweet juices, and its
mandibles are unable to pierce the
skin of ruit.--Cosmos.

ORIGINATED IN ARMY BANKS
Expression That Spread Far Had It:
Inception in the Mess Room
Of Officers.

Capt Horny 6. Lyon, u S. AZ, was
the innocent cause Of the expression
about making a noise like this or
that. At Peekskill. in 1906, he gave
instruction to officers of the New
York National Guard doing duty in
that tour Of camp The first day he
formed the officers into a class in the
big mess hall, which was open at the
sides, so that all that went on inside
was seen and heard by the enlisted
men passing back and forth. In teach
ing the officers how to give commands,
Capt. Lyon impressed upon the class
the necessity OF clear enunciation
and of making commands like an Of
iicer, says Arms not Jumps etc.
The priyates' capacity for turning
things to their own amusement was
shown a few. minutes after that first
class was dismissed for officers going
through their company streets heard
priyates in front of group Of men
shouting out: Make a noise like an
officer,p whereuyJn the entire class"
would roar Jumps" "A reporter sent
an account to a New York paper, and
from this grew the expressions such
as Make a noise like a hoop and roll
away" etc. However, it is seldom one
hears the words arms or march =

REACHING OUT FOR BROADER FIELD
Baptists Favor Severing Relations
With other Denominations.

The keynote Thursday at the South
eru Baptist Convention. in Baltimore
was the development of sentiment fav-
orable TO severing all connection with
other denominations and TO reaching
out for broader field. The first was
shown by action looking to the aban-
donment of the use in Southern BAPTIST
Sunday schools of the international
Sunday School Lessons. and the second
by the apparent intention TO admit 70
fellowship IN the Southern body
churches in territory hitherto left en-
tirely 10 the Northern Baptists.
The apparent wish TO sever relations
with all interdenominational bodies
was tempted 10y the earnest efforts Of
considerable element TO give formal
approval TO the work of the Laymen' 5
Missionary Movement Rev. Geo. w
Mcdaniel, of Richmond. said that the
Southern Baptists lack organization
and an adequate scheme of missions.
and can never under present conditions
become world power in missions. and
that It rests upon the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement 20 save the day.
The objection 10 the continued use OF
the International Sunday School les
sons appears TO be that they have not
been satisfactory 20 the Baptists in the
matter Of scriptural texts touching on
baptism.
After considerable discussion the
subject was referred TO committee.
