cider can be had neglect his work
and then be on the perish when
fruit time is over. Until last
Monday we thought that man
was the only creature foolish
enough to waste his time drink
ing cider, but MI. /. N. Medlin, of
north Monroe township, gives us
some information which we value,
but it cost him something to OBJ
tain it. Mr.. Medlin keeps a
great many bees and he says that
a good fruit year means a poor
year for honey; that the bees will
not make honey as long as there
is any fruit juice for them to
| drink and when such a good fruit
year as last year was comes along
the bees just fool away their time
sucking bruised fruit, drinking
cider around the cider mills and
barrels to such an extent that
they make almost no honey. Mr..
Medlin further says that he has
lost twelve colonies of bees this
winter juest because they did not
make honey enough last year to
support themselves, but sucked
the fruit juice, which makes no
honey. The little honey bee
songs and sermons will have to be
changed. The bee is as big a fool
as is man about a little cider
