Beechnut Season.

This is the beechnut season, and
when beechnuts are ripe no city man
bred in the country knows perfect rest
OF mind. He wants to go back home,
The beechnut is diminutive. but 1t is
full of meat and flavor. Some folks
say that the Jay bird and the red
headed woodpecker haven't any sense.
They have sense enough to prefer the
beechnut to any other edible which
grows. The jay is more than human,
anyway. and he has a lot more sense
than good many humans. and so the
wonder constantly grows why 1t is
that the man who is not up to snuff is
called jay. The beech tree does
more for man than to give him Its
nut-brown October offering. Its gray
bole shines warmly when the sun
strikes 1t. Its sight suggests warmth
in winter and GOODNESS In summer.
The shade of the beech's dropping
boughs Is one of the grateful bounties
of August.-Chicago Post

{J ERY modest and conservative ex-

riety OF beads now fashionable are
pictured here. Not that these particu-

other, for no beads are questionable
and all sorts are worn.
These strands are about the aver
age in size and length. The first
strand is a yellow agate highly pol

Long strands Of small beads are
twisted in rope fashion and worn In
the length shown in the picture. This
management OF old-fashioned coral
beads bring them up to date. Old.
fashioned carved corals in earrings
and brooches are new fashions now,
and their possessors rejoice In them.
II you have strands of curious or
old-fashioned beads, now is the time
to resurrect them. Piece the strands
out with other beads to suit your
fancy, so long as the color combina-
lions are good. A little black or steel,
or both, introduced. makes a striking
strand. Big beads introduced at inter-
walls In strand of small ones are
noted among the most desired and ex
pensive novelties.

QUEEN BEE AND
HOW TO FIND HER
II Is Her Sole Duty to Lay Eggs,
Her Nourishment Being Sup
piled by Workers.
CBy F. q. HERMANN

In every colony OF bees, whether 1t
be located in skep, the hollow Of a
tree, or in a modern hive, there will be
found at some time of the year three
kinds of bees-queen, drones and
workers. The queen is the most i'm
portant bee In the hive. She is the
egg-layer. and as such is the mother
Of the bees In the hive, whether they
are workers, drones or queens. Only
one queen is. under ordinary circum-
stances, found In hive, but occasion
ally two-mother and daughter--are
for a time living together. The queens
sole duty being to lay eggs she has
no other cares to claim her attention,
In fact she does not even attend to
her own food supply. The nourish-
ment needed to keep up the extraor-
binary egg-laying power she posses
ses, is supplied by the worker-bees
which are for the first fortnight OF
their existence what may be termed
nurse-bees. If comb be taken out OF
a movable hive quietly and without
disturbing the bees, the queen may

The queen is fair and stately bee.
differing from the workers both in
shape and color, she is longer than a
honey bee by one-third, and somewhat
longer than dr,ne. but not quite so
big around. The queen is treated
with the greatest respect and affec.
ton by the bees. A circle OF her of

and all politely backing out of her
way. to give her a clear path when
she moves over the combs. So strong
is the feeling Of the worker for the
queen, that IL for any reason she is
removed, the whole colony is filled
with CONSERVATION and dismay. Her
death, when 1t is too late in the sea-
son to raise another queen. means the
fiLal extinction of the colony. A good
queen viii sometimes lay from two to
three thousand eggs day, or nearly

CBy M. NJ EASTMAN)
When the harvest Is completed. cul-
ovation of bush fruits should cease.
The sowing Of some cover crop with
the last cultivation is a most excellent
practice.
Oats and peas, either separate or
in combination. answer this purpose
admirably. The benefits derived from
cover crop are manifold
The greatest of these benefits, per-
haps. comes in the protection afford
ed by the growth to the surface of the
ground.
II is well known among those who
have made study Of soil physics that
when left unprotected by growth of
some kind there is a loss both in
plant food and in the humus content
of such soil
Hence In so far as is practicable
the wise husbandman will keep his
land covered with a growth of some
sort.
II is not practical to keep cover
crop growing among small fruits
through spring and early summer. for
the best interests of such fruits re-
Quires intensive cultivation through
this period OF their growth, but with
the fruiting season over such neces-
sity ceases.
Unless drought conditions are un-
usually severe there will be a suffi-
Gent amount Of moisture in the soil
of bush fruit plantation that has re-
ceived intensive cultivation through
out the spring and summer to start a
vigorous growth Of oats or peas, and
under ordinary conditions OF fall pre-
cipitation such grains will attain con-
siderable growth.
The protection afforded by such a
growth prevents teaching of intrates,
that are continually being evolved
through identification processes con-
stantly in operation among soil
agencies.
Such growth also prevents washing
of soil by fall. winter and early spring
