The accuracy of the cells of the
comb has long been an object of
admiration of naturalists and
computed that In no other form
of structure could the space the
bees gain in their style of archi-
lecture be more economically OBJ
tanned.
The costliness of comb to the
bee, since 1t can be produced only
of wax produced at the expense of
many times its own weight of
honey or sugar, has led to this
great economy in construction
and the ingenuity of man has
found a way to help the bees by
further saving of energy.
To help the bees apiarists have
found it advantageous to use ma
chinery by which the wax the
bees make can be worked over
and over. AS the combs become
old they are melted, the pure wax
taken out and remodeled into

HOW BEES MAKE HONEY


The worker bees gather all
the nectar and pollen from
the blossoms Of fruits and
flowers. clover. and many
other plants they visit. The
nectar . is taken by the bee
into its mouth and through
a wonderful arrangement Is
partially converted into honey
by the time the bee reaches
the hive.
The pollen aiso--a food
kept for baby bees-is car
ried to comb cells, but IL Ia
not mixed with the transform
ed nectar. 1t is carried In q
pair of little baskets, pollen
baskets, they are called, To-
Gated on the third pair of
the bees legs,
On its arrInl in the hive
the bee places Its head In one
of the cells of the comb and
deposits there the nectar. By
this time the nectar has been
partly transformed into hon
ey, and the process Is COM
pleted by the bees by tanning
the cells to evaporate the
excess of moisture. When a
cell has been filled with the
thick honey the workers COW
err it with Gaping of wax
unless II is to be eaten at
once, The little pellets OF
pollen which the bees carry In
are packed tightly into cells
until the cell Is nearly full.

his reasons for voting for Mr.. Baker
as speaker of the house, and asking
the farmers interested to write him
concerning legislation, especially the
pending tonnage tax bill. He said
that he had not fully decided how he
should stand in that matter, and want
ed advice from his constituents.
Nj. A. Cobb of Mt Pleasant spoke
on the subject of the relation OF
farmers to the schools. He said that
he thought that the schools should
always look towards more efficient
work along the lines benefitting the
farmers. He mentioned the raising
of corn by boys and girls as very
helpful work. He recommended that
the boys and girls should organize
under the leadership of grange mem
bers. That much good might result
from such work was his opinion, and
he cited improvement Of certain kinds
of wheat as an example.
