hearing than she could have sung
on the concert stage. So Avis gave
up even the pretense of reading and
listened to the mans singing. j..
After few moments more Of
scales he began on q song.
To the girl listening the song was
as familiar as her own name, but to
the man it was evidently new. He
was learning it. Avis followed each
note and realized that the man was
not good reader His piano work
was wretched. When the accom-
paniment changed from one fiat to
two he was divinely unconscious Of
the fact and continued to sing and
play the E natural.
Avis squirmed in her big chair each
time he sang that note. Over and
over again he made the same mis-.
take until the girl felt that she must
either correct him or rush from the
house and out of earshot.
s'What a shame that he is learning
It wrong" she commented to herself.
1T, is so difficult afterward to get
the proper note and he Is grinding 1t
In SO hard"
Suddenly Avis had an inspiration.
She rushed to her own grand piano
and put on the loud pedal. After
that she played over and over again
with all the strength in her fingers
the passage in which the man had
made a mistake. She emphasized
the E fiat to the best of her ability.
lingering on it until the rhythm of
the song was lost in the prolongation
Of that one note.
When she stopped moment to
listen Avis smiled. Evidently he Is
not Dense" she decided as she left
the piano stool and returned to her
chair. She laughed outright.
The man in the next house had t.
ken her correction and after run
ming through the passage with the e

Avis smiled at the mans aHdacity.
"You certainly do need me-" she
said half aloud. "And I would love
to accompany him." she added to
herself. ut seems positively wicked
that he should have to struggle
along that way when I could help
him 80 much. But such are the

softly said:

Now the logical conclusion to such
q conversation as the above is plain
to q blind man. The ground had
been plowed and narrowed and
dragged ready for the crop. The
Widow Sample had a perfect right
to look for the logical result, but it
didn't come. Uncle Abner had the
same right, but Just at the critical
moment he went to pieces like an old
barrel being rolled down hill. Two

Uncle Abner came back again and

were conducted in a large orchard

in two home orchards, one near

ing In Montana.

Great Falls. Mont, May 11.-While
alone on homestead about three
miles from the town of Chinook, Mrs.
Ryder, 70 years old, who recently
came to this state from Iowa, was shot
and killed by mysterious rider.
Mrs. Ryder was on the ranch of her
son, Frank, a travelling auditor for a
lumber company, who was in a field
some distance from the house. He
saw man ride to the house, and
later heard two shots, whereupon the
man galloped away. Going to the
house. he found his mother dead with
a bullet through her heart.
A posse which was formed eight
hours later found Archie Malette,
armed with rifle, in homesteader's
shack. The hoofs of Malette's horse
fitted the tracks near the Ryder home
and the bullet which killed Mrs. Ryder
was the same caliber as Malette's
wea. He is under arrest.

BUNDLE BEE HOLDS Ills JOB.

The humble bee is still entitled to
his job as pollinator in chief to red
clover. Although here and there
suggestions have been made that his
work might possibly be done to bet
ter advantage with some form of me-
chanical device, he is still the most
efficient agent for scattering pollen
That was very we'll demonstrated by
the tests carried on at the Iowa Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station last
season in cooperation with the U. S.
bureau of plant industry. The re-
suits of the tests which have just
been compiled show the bee better
than any machine so far contrived.
The purpose of the experiment was
to test the merit of the various me-
chanical pollinators so far devised as
against the humble bee. 1t is i'm
portant to find some aid to pollina-
ton if possible, to insure crop of
clover seed every year and especially
those years when climatic conditions
kill the humble bees. Many kinds
of mechanical treatments were given
clover blossoms from which bees
were kept by means of screens and
compared with blossoms exposed to
the bees.
The results compiled are from So
900 clover heads yielding more than
100000 seeds. In no comparison
did the work of the mechanical pol
linators produce as many seeds per
head of clover as the work of the
bees.
The information collected also
gave the actual earning capacity OF
a single bee. One clover seed weighs
1874 milligrams and it takes about
5000 seeds to make a pound. A
bee will pollinate thirty flowers per

PLANTING THE ORCHARD.

According to the horticulturists Of
the Iowa Agricultural Experiment
Station, one of the most common
mistakes made by Iowa orchardists
is that of planting too many trees to
the acre. Short lived trees is very
general complaint throughout this
state and overcrowding is one of the
direct causes of it.
In Extension Department Bulletin
No. 5, Professors A. T. Erwin and G.
R. Bliss offer Iowa farmers these sug-
gestions on orchard planting:
The exact distance apart may vary
somewhat according to the varieties
and the lay of the ground, but in gen.
eral fifty mature apple trees per acre.
approximately thirty feet apart. is
ample for this section. Any number
in excess of this means overcrowdine
and weakened trees.
AS indicated by figure 2, the trees
may be arranged in rectangles or in
equilateral triangles. According to
the latter plan the trees of each al
ternate row are placed opposite the
opening, break joint fashion. By this
method about Is per cent more trees
can be planted on each acre than by
the rectangular system.
Close planting limits water supply
and moisture plays an important part
in apple growth, for apples are from
QS RI Qf1 nor cent water
Close planting also results in an
abundant supply of apple scab and
other troubles, by bringing about
dense growth and excluding sunshine
and ventilation. Any cultural method
which tends to secure good ventila-
ton, dry atmosphere, and an album
dance of sunshine does much towards
holding these foes in check.
Close planting gives protection
