(By DIR. ]. s. WARD. Tennessee.)
Outside of the beekeeping world the
great majority of people think that
the only benefit humanity receives
from bees is the production of honey
and wax. 1t is not generally known
or even understood that bees were
created not so much for the purpose
of gathering the delicious sweet for
mankind, as for carrying the pollen
grains from one flower to another, so
that these may bear fruit and seed.
The real economical value of the bees
is to be found in the work of fertil-
izing and cross-fertillzing seed and
fruit-bearing plants so valuable to
man; the honey and wax is secondary.
The pollination or fertilization of
plants is brought about in two ways;
first, by the wind; second, by insects.
Plants whose flowers are small and
inconspicuous, as the willows, pines,
oaks and birches, have very light and
dry pollen, which in favorable
weather may be blown about and pol
Innate many flowers, but often the
wind Is ineffective on account of the
pollens being sticky by reason of
moisture in the air in the form of
rain, heavy dew or fog. Most of the
flowers, however, are not Of the wind
bearing" type and require some other
agents than the wind to carry the
pollen, and these agents are the in
sects. Insects go from flower to
flower gathering pollen or nectar for
food, and in crawling over the sta
mems and pistils they get their little
bodies covered with the pollen grains
and easily, effectively transfer them to
the stigmas of other blossoms, result
ing also in the cross-fertilization that
nature demands. Observation and ex-
periments teach that without insects
there is but little pollination and with
out pollination the blossoms with their
pistils wither and die without fruitage.
Investigations made in Germany
show that out of 6,291 visits of in
sects to flowers, 3,481 were made by
honey bees.
The bees need protein as well as

Europe Loses Sweet Tooth.

The girls they left behind them
when the British Tommy, his French
colleague and his German enemy went
off to the war suffered a good deal
more than has been supposed up to
this time.
The candy export figures from this
country prove it. Europe curtailed the
bean supply Of the United States when
Austria's exports were stopped. Now
America has retaliated by reducing
the quantity of candy sent to the old
world.
The first five months of the war
caused decrease Of $153,823 in value
of candy exports from the United
States, as compared with the same
period of the year before. The value
of the total exports Of candy for the
calendar year was $1,1S5,S94.

Far removed from simplicity and re-
boicing in picturesque lines and mate
trials are the fashion tendencies that
predominant in millinery. Flowers and
fruits, ostrich plumes and ribbons in
every variety, are assembled and
shown on hats large and small. The
new millinery modes are charming and
IN variety they are fairly bewildering.
But however much we are distracted
by the great number of styles, of one
thing we cannot fail to be assured.

Now that Fashion allows us to
choose between the coat suit and the
frock with separate coat, the separate
coat is matter that must be serious
ly considered. Hardly any wardrobe
but must possess two separate coats
of some kind. One Of them will take
the place of the suit coat, while the
other, according to the needs of its
owner. will be chosen for dress occa-
sions for which the suit coat is not
quite elaborate enough. or for hard

in.

pie product. It's relatively imperish-
able nature also adapts it to long dis
lance shipment, rough handling, and
keeping for considerable time even
under unfavorable conditions. 1t is
thus an important article of food in
mining, construction and lumber
camps, and other places remote from
sources of food supply. 1t is also used
extensively on the tables of all classes
Of people, and its use is rapidly In
creasing. The former aversion to
onions--on account TO their offensive
odor is being overcome as the knowl-
edge of their healthfulness and paiat-
ability increases. Whether raw or
cooked, alone or in combination,
onions are appetizing and healthful.
Onions grow best In relatively cool
weather and require an abundance OF
moisture during their early stages OF
growth. However, they will stand con-
siderable heat after they have made
good start, and ripen better If the
weather is relatively dry at the time
they mature. This makes them an i'm
portant crop in central and northern
ATTITUDES, where the weather of spring
is cool and moist, and a dry period
normally occurs in August or in early
September However, the season must
be sufficiently long for the onions to
mature before the autumn rains set in,
or they are likely never to ripe prop
erly. Unless properly ripened, onions
will not keep. For northern localities
it is sometimes necessary to use only
the earlier maturing varieties.
The above statements refer to the
growing of ripe onions. Green onions
reach edible size in a comparatively
short time, and can be grown during
the normally cool and moist weather
of early spring in central and northern
ATTITUDES. AS commercial crop, they
are of minor Importance compared
with ripe onions.

carbohydrates to make well-balanced
ration for the young growing insects.
The honey, which contains the sac
charm or carbohydrates, is stored in
large quantities, but the pollen, which
contains the protein material, is not
stored in any appreciable quantity; it
is practically gathered from day to
day. Nature thus compels the bees to
use every opportunity to gather pollen
for the maintenance Of the colony
for self-preservation, and thereby in
ducing them to pollinate the blossoms,
which would otherwise be unproduc-
tive.
Doctor Fletcher, in paper read be-
fore the Ontario Association of Bee
keepers, said: 1T can be shown that,
owing to its size, weight and habits,
no insect is so we'll calculated to in

SONS as the honey bee, which flies
rapidly from plant to plant, and, by
running over the flowers in search OF
pollen OF nectar, brushes off the pollen
and carries this vitalizing element
on the hairs Of its body to the next
flower visited. 1t will be found that
not only are flowers absolutely neces'
sary to bees, as the source of theiI
food-nectar and pollen-but that bees
and other insects are no less neces
sary to most flowers, so that theiI
perpetuation may be secured.
This fact should be recognized by

get no fruit at all.

Tmf QUESTION or ETHICS.

The controversy over the ship ment of arms abroad goes merrily on. From the standpoint of moral obligation this country would be far better off if ammunition and guns were never permitted to leave the factories in which they are made. If we could have our desires grati- fled, it is quite likely that the American people would abolish the production of all implem ents of warfare. But we cannot have that wish fulfilled. As long as nations are filled with the lust of gain which promotes war, mursderous weapons will be made. and we must keep up with the proces sion. We must prepare for peace by being ready for war, or words to that effect. We have, it is true, furnished arms to the European belligerents. Men are being killed every day by bullets in the New England states. But it is not an innovation. Americans were killed In earlier 1wars by bullets made abroad. Federal soldiers fell in wlndrow when Southern soldiers, shootT lg with guns and exploding bulls'ss made in England and France, opposed us in '6l. Span ls.l soldiers did not kill as many Americans in o8 as they wanted to, but it was not the fault of the guns made in Germany. And, so far as we know now, our government did not complain because the enemy bought arms from neutral powers makers. It seems to be the point of view again. As we say, morally it is wrong, but the time has come, 1 apparently, when the ethics of war 1 can be adhered to in time of war as it seems possible to do in time of peace.
