PATENT BUNDLE BEE
EXHIBITED AT M. U.
New Device Was Tried This
Summer on the State Farm.
Can Pollenize Clover.

We already had patent washing
machines, patenttalking machines
patent window washers, and pa.
tents, in fact, for everything. But
a patent bundle bee! That reads
like some fairy tale. But it is a
fact nevertheless. Students in the
College of Agriculture at the Uni
versity of Missouri had an oppor.
tunity of seeing patent humble
bee in actual operation on the
state farm this summer.
The patent humble bee is made
of wood and iron and instead of
wings, it has horses for its motive
power. And it does everything
that its name-sake does but sting
and make honey.
The function of this patent
humble bee is to take the place of
the real humble bee in polleniz-
ing clover blossoms. Clover bios
SONS are not self fertilizing, as
most plants are, but must depend
on outside agents for their fertili-
cation. This fact was discovered
by Darwin. Darwin noticed that
in locality where there were lots
Of old maids lots Of clover grew.
He also noticed that most Of the
spinsters keep cats. Cats catch
mice. Mice destroy humble bees
nests. Bundle bees fertilize clover
blossoms. Hence, since the cats
got mice out of the road humble
bees flourished The bees in turn
pollenized the clover blossoms.
Therefore a great clover crop was
the result.
Clover is plant that lasts only
two years. In rare instances it
will live more than two years. 1t
must therefore have some means of
perpctuating itself. This it does
by means of its seeds. But if it is
not fertilized, it will not develop
seed and thus die out. AS the
seed is high priced, it was a great
expense to the farmers to seed
their field every two years.
In wet seasons humble bees are
drowned out and the result is no
seed in clover blossoms. Some
method whereby the fertilization
of clover blossoms could be accom-
plished without the aid of this
humble insect, the humble bee,
has long been a problem.
In experimenting with clover
blossoms it has been found that if
the blossom is touched or lightly
tickled, the same result, fertiliza-
ton, takes place as when bum
Bile bee lights on the flower to get
its honey. An Indianapolis firm,
with this idea in mind, set about
perfecting this work. The result
of their work is the patent humble
bee. 1t is machine about four
teen feet in length mounted on
wheels. A board six by eight feet is
attached to this frame work. In
this board are many bristles about
six inches in length. When the
operation, the board holding the
bristles is raised and lowered gen.
thy, thus slightly brushing the clo-
yer blossoms. This performs the
duty of the humble bee. Thus
has the scientific mind of man dis
pensed with one of Natures agen-
cies and placed the insuring of a
good clover crop on a scientific ba-
sis.
The College of Agriculture tried
this machine on a five-acre field of
clover short distance from Col

administration of the national forest
areas is said to be reducing the large
flocks and 1t is taken to mean the
quitting of sheep breeding by the large
flockmasters or they must turn their
attention to rearing smaller and bet
ter bands on the farms.
Splendid accommodations for ex-
hibitors at the sheep show are prom
ised. The spacious Armory will af-
ford ample room for all purposes,
both for the convention sessions on
the upper floor and the pens of blood
ed exhibition stock in the drill han
down stairs. Intending exhibitors
should write to Secretary Minton, 532
Hamilton building. for a premium
list and entry blank.
The Hampshire association has
provided 500 to be given as specials
and the Rambouillet association has
given $500. Other associations will
take the matter up at their Decem-
Der meeting and it is expected n lib
eral appropriation from about every
association will be given. The An
CORA Goat association gives 800 for
specials, besides cups; the Pendleton
and the Salem wooden mills are maxi
ing special blankets for prizes and
the Brownsville Woolen Mills have
donated a suit of clothes.
The Willamette Valley Woolgrow-
erS' association has made a nice ap-
preparation, as has also the oregon
Pure Bred Livestock Growers asso-
citation. All of these, together with
the fine cash premiums being offer
ed by the Sheep Show committee,
make it an attractive show for ex-
hibitors.
The Oregon Woolgrowers' associ-
alton is going to do its part to make
the show a great success. Secretary
/ Dan Smythe has written to Secretary
! Minton of the show that the execu-
tive committee of the Oregon organi-
zation has voted to present two cups,
| from the value of S35 to $50 each,
one for the champion fine wool ram
! exhibited and the other for the
! champion coarse wool ram placed at
! the show.
/ The local committees in charge Of
| the arrangements are receiving so
many inquiries from all sections of
the West regarding exhibit require
ments, etc, that the officials feel as
sured of very wide interest and large

VIII Begin Suit.
CUTS OFF
SONS DEBTS PUBLICLY

London.-Quite a sensation has
been caused in society by the an
nouncement in the public press by Sir
julius Wernher. the South African
diamond millionaire and director of
the DeBeers diamond mines, that af-
ter Wednesday next he will not be
responsible for his sons debts.
Young Derrick Wernher, who is the
heir to his fathers vast fortune, only
came of age on June last, which oc-
casion was celebrated by Sir Julius
and Lady Wernher in the most lavish
style.
That the young mans progress has
been very fast is certain from the
fact that Sir julius, who is averse to
his name appearing in the press,
should have advertised the notice in
the newspapers from Bath House, his
palatial residence in Picadily. What
the exact escapades are that young
Wernher has been guilty of cannot
be ascertained at present as all the
friends OF the family have been en-
Joined to keep their own counsel, but
it was never thought for a moment
| that his father would make the fam
lily troubles public. Friends admit
that even the restraining hand of La
dy Wernher was powerless in dissuad-
ing him from publicly repudiating his
sons liabilities.
1t is assumed from this that young
Derrick must have been showing the
way to even the most gilded youths
about town. The disclosure has cre-
ated not a little gossip and society is
wondering whether the irate father
| will cut his son off with the proven
/ bal shilling.

NOBLE PENURY SHOCKS
TRADESPEOPLE OF SURREY

London.-Next week there will be
a scene of great gayety at the beauti-
ful little town of Arundel, in Surrey,
where the Duke of Norfalk, the pre-
mier peer of England. reigns supreme
as feudal lord Of. the manor. A
tradesman of the town intends to give
a big tea party and a general treat
to all the children of the district, and
behind this apparently tame announce
ment is a story of almost incredible
stinginess or heartlessness which has
aroused the little town to a wild state
OF Indignation.
Some weeks ago the Duchess Of
Norfolk celebrated the birthday Of
her baby son, the Earl of Arundel and
Surrey, and requested that all the
school children of the district be Civ
en- a half holiday. The liberated chill
dren were then invited to spend the
afternoon at Arundel Castle. Many of
the youngsters came long distances to
attend the promised rare treat. After
the children had played on the
grounds for two or three hours the
Duchess appeared and remarked:
Now, you can all go home and
have tea and then come back here
and run races"
The wretched children, tired, hun
ghy and thirsty, were not offered even
a glass of water. OF course many
never returned, but the few who did
ran races. The Duchess, who had sent
a footman to the bank to change a
10 shilling goldpiece into coppers, dis
trlbuted the prizes, the first prize be-
ing sixpence.
The affair created such Indignation
In the town that the mayor Of Arun-
del, tradesman, invited all the same
children to party which cost him
$50 This rather deliberate hit ap-
pears to have had no effect, hence a
second tea party Is organized for next
wee X
The Duchess was a daughter of the
late Lord Herries and was raised in
such general poverty that her friends
say she cannot even now realize she Is
the wife of one of the richest peers
in England at the present moment.
The Duke, who is one Of the simplest
OF men and very kindhearted, sup
ports several OF his wife's relatives. II
Is believed he knew nothing about the
arrangements Of his wife's famous
children's party.
