GARRISON TO OUTLINE
MILITIA BILL CONTEST
Action on CrowdsR Opinion Ex-

The lines upon which the contest over
the militia pay bill fight will be fought
in the next session of Congress probably
win be clearly defined when Secretar,
Garrison acts on the opinion of Brig
general OF the army, as to the legality
OF Circular No. s." putting into effect
the Dick law for the reorganization oi
the militia. Circular No. declares that
the federal government will not recognize
National Guard officers except where the
requirements OF the regular army as to
organization armament and discipline are
fully observed.
1t is expected that Gen. Crowder's opin-
ion will sustain the legality of the circu-
lar In that event, the issue VIII pe pu'

also require water when the supply OF
dew is insufficient. and means must be
taken to supply them 1t is this need
which causes the bees to hover about
wells and springs greatly to the annoy
ance Of human beings.
Bees are associated with rural life in
the minds of most people, but they can
be raised equally well in the city. Sew
eral New York skyscrapers have good
sized apiaries upon their roofs. A man
in Buffalo has done thriving honey
business for years from bees located in
an attic. In Philadelphia several colonies
of bees located in a building near 1nde-
pendence Square produced excellent
honey from the flowers and trees of that
historic park. In Washington a number
of apiaries are located upon the tops of
buildings. High-grade honey is taken
from these because of the number of lin

honey being considered by many the
finest in the world. The increase in
city parking which is spreading over the
country makes city beekeeping more

BEEKEBPING.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

At most of the agricultural fairs this
season the exhibits of comb and ex-
tracted honey. including granulated honey
pressed into solid candy form, beeswax
of different grades and also of the vari-
Gus appliances for the beekeepins IN
dustry are larger and more important
than ever before. This is due to the
growing recognition of the value OF the
bees service to the human race Inc
honey production of the United states IS
valued at so5.OOO.OOO annually, but IN
the opinion of the bureau of entomology
the service the bees render in the fertlii-
zation of fruit trees and other crops Is
worth many times that sum.
The effect of placing beehives in the
midst of apple, pear and peach orchards
is held responsible for a great improve
ment in several varieties of each of these
fruits. A single bee may visit 10000 bios
SONS to secure an ounce of honey. a
thrifty hive OF bees contains an average
of from $4,000 to 10000 bees. This is suf-
ficient for the pollenation of two acres OF
fand. At the Kansas state experiment
station last year six apple trees were Sc
lected for observation in an orchard IN
which several hives of bees had been
placed. When the biossomng began men
were employed to collect the various
insects which visited the flowers. The
hees exceeded all the others several tinfes
over. A number of bees We're watched TO
see how many flowers they would visit
on a single trip. One bee was seen to Wis
it sixty-one before she flew to the top Of
the tree and was lost to view. Others
visited from twenty-five to forty-tive by
actual count of the men employed for
that purpose.
The cranberry growers of Massachu-
settS have discovered that the crop OF

in access The United Cape Cod Cranber-
ry Company has recently employed an
expert beekeeper to take charge of the
increase .of the colonies. in order that Il
sufficient number may be produced for
the polarization of all of their cram
berry bogs. In Nova Scotia experiments
show that where bees are kept in a cran-
berry bog the yield is thickest nearest
the hives and is thnnest away from
them The presence of bees is said to
have improved the alfalfa crop in Cali
fornia and Texas.
Because of this service for crop i'm
prOvement bees are receiving more care
than formerly Modern Bookkeeping
methods no longer permit man to set
up few hives and then neglect them,
expecting to harvest his honey at no eX-
pense of labor to himself. In most of
the states rigid laws have been passed
compelling a bee owner to keep his hives
in sanitary condition. The farmer who
will not do this will not be permitted to
retain them. He may pass them over 10
his neighbor and still benefit from their
services as pollenizers. as 1t has been
found that their services extend at least
square mile from the hive.
Three diseases now menace the bees
of the country, and each of these Is que
to inSanitary hives. Because one hlNe
of diseased bees may spread the disease
over a large area, rigid system OF IN
spection has been provided by the Iegis-
latures of several states and similar
laws are under consideration in others.
In California, where beekeeping has
reached the highest standard in the
world bee inspector is provided for
each county. An apiarist recently snip

1t is claimed that the loss due to them

Another heavy loss to beekeepers has
been caused by carelessness in the spray

eral states prohibiting. spraying while

Manager Griffith does not purpose to at

can League scheduled to be held In Chi
cago Thursday. Realizing that this
gathering will not afford him chance
to get the outfielder he is DESTROYS of Sc
curing, he cannot see where he Will bene-
fit him by making the trip.
He intends, however. to be present
when the National League club owners
meet in New York next month. figuring
that he may be able to swing some sort
of deal there which will give him a
hard hitting outfielder.
From all accounts the gathering IN Chi
cago will be one of the busiest meetings
the American League has held in years.
There are numerous matters to be con-
sidered The Players Fraternity will
come in for consideration. Then the
Federal League will be looked into, while

is badly needed. but he is not SO sure
about his catching department, because
Johnny King threatens To quit the
game. King did splendid work for Gin
cinnati last season and he will be
sadly missed If he makes good his
threat to quit. Tinker proposes to make
a special trip to Kansas City to induce
the veteran to reconsider and come back
to him in the spring. If King should
refuse it would leave Cincinnati with but
one capable catcher, Tom Clark, and
there might then be a chance for Crit
fifth to do business for an outfielder. by
Offering either Alva Williams or Owens,

for him to improve with a change OF

Then there will be proposed a plan for

two delegates from the Base Ball Writer'S
Association.
1t will be shown that at least three re-
forms are necessary. a uniform rule COW
by a pitcher while in the act of delivery.
and another rule interpreting more clear
ly the infield fly.
Still another rule seems necessary, in
view of the play that came up In the
game between the Athletics and the New
Yorks last season when the field UNI
pire was struck by thrown ball after a
batsman had made an infield hit, which
scored a runner from third base.
It seems assured that the New York
club will secure the services of Outfielder
Walsh of the Athletics, but while there
are rumors that Ty Cobb will be found
with some other team, 1t is not believed
that such a deal will materialize, because
of the great value Cobb has proved to the
Detroit club. :
