years. But suppose rooster matches
the egg-what them" Captain John
H. White, 1914 Retreat street, would

Captain White, who halls form Sails
bury, Wicomico county, has a rooster
that Matched two chicks. In wooden
box Pete, the rooster, sits with ruffed
feathers clucking like a hen. Under
his wings are two tiny, fuzzy chicks.
Some time ago the captain saw Pete
sitting on anest in which were several
eggs Shoo,' yelled the captain. But
Pete refused to bulge. The same thing
happened the next day. In order to
see what happened the captain placed
three eggs in a box and Pete on top
Of them. The rooster accepted the sit
uation and stuck to his post until yes
terday, when he strutted forth and two
chicks followed him Since that time
he has taken care Of them as carefully
as hen.

OUR DEBT TO BUMBLE-BEEs
These Busy Little Workers Play I'm
portant Part in FertiIizatioa OF
Many Pretty Flowers.

Barney Hoskin Standish in An ar
ticle on "The Bumble-Bee" for the ST.
Nicholas says: The work Of the
bumble-bee in bringing about the
Decentralization Of flowers is as I'M
portant as that of the honey-bee, and
these two stand at the head OF the list
Of insects useful in this respect. Each
has its flowers which 1t alone visits,
but there are many flowers on neu-
tral ground, visited by both. So we
may say Of the bumble-bee, as of the
honey-bee, the more bumble-bees the
more seeds; the more seeds the more
fowers-specially wild flowers, as the
tall bell-flower, touch-me-not, Solo
mon's-seal, gentian, Dutchmen's-
breeches, and turtle-head. But prob
ably the most important work tPis tn7
sect does for agriculture is upon the
fields of red clover. There is album
dant proof that this plant will not pro-
duce seed without the cooperation OF
the bumble-bee. It Is impossible for
the wind to bring about the fertiliza-
ton Of the seed, as 1t may do in the
case Of Indian corn, grain and some
forest trees. The tube of red-clover
blossoms, too, is SO long that other in
sects dncluding the honey-bee) are
not regular visitants.
Here is proof that this plant must
have visits from the bumble-bee. This
insect is not a native Of Australia,
and red-cloyer failed to produce seed
there until humble bees were import
ed AS soon as they became numerous
the plant could be depended upon for
seed. Again, the blossoms Of the first
crop of the medium red-cloVer of
our own country are just as perfect as
those Of the second crop, but there
are too few bumble-bees In the field,
SO early in the season, to produce fer
tilization; hence little or no seed in
this crop. If bumble-bees were sutff-
ciently numerous there is no reason
why much larger yields of clover seed
might not be expected than at pres
ent

VENTRIL0QUIsM AMONG BIRDS
Many Sonqsters Have Notes That Are
Difficult to PIace-Grasshopper
10 Big Offender.

Ventriloquism is not confined solely
to the human race, London Answers
asserts. There are many birds whose
notes it is almost impossible TO
place"
Take the corncrake, with it's harsh
"crake, crake!" One moment the
sound is by your feet; the next, fifty
yards away The grasshopper is an
other offender in this respect. Its sib-
liant note is hard to locate.
The sedge warbler goes one better.
Not only is it an accomplished yentril-
oquist, but it will mimic OR parody the
song of other birds. In a lesser degree
the redbreast and the crow possess
these powers, and foreign doves come
under the same category.
In Brazil the bell bird is exception
ally skillful with it's voice, while the
American chickadee invariably de-
ceives the listener Canada boasts Of
partridge which is known to deceive
sportsmen as to Its whereabouts for

There is one pleasing thing to be
deduced from review of the figures
showing the fire loss in the United

any means small they have shown a
tendency toward dimlnution since the
beginning Of the year. The amount

for the first eight months of 1912 the

was approximately four million dol

period OF last year, though sixteen
millions in excess OF that for the first

profit, turn low and then from the
absorbing subject Of politics and civil
reform to the statistical measurement

help us appreciate the favorable con-
ditions we enjoy and the miracles
wrought by intelligently applied en-
ergy. In 1879 as a nation Of 38,558,3H
we had a total estimated wealth OF
$30,068s518,000: In 1912, with 95,410,5O3
Inhabitants, our national wealth was
estimated at $4,000, ,oo0, 900 In the
same time our per capita wealth just
about doubled, being $17.51 in 1870
and $34.23 at present, says the Omaha
Bee. Our farms numbered 2,659,9S5
