and carries ii along to another thus carrying on
her part of natures plan. The value derived from
the cross fertilization of blossoms in this way is
probably much greater than that of all the honey

the country.
1t is practically impossible to grow cucumbers
in the greenhouse unless bees depended upon
to fertilize the blossoms. and the market gar

insect. Even in the dead of winter, with
drifts six feet high outside, thousands of bees are
be found flying around in the great glass houses
where cucumbers produced for the exclusive
winter trade. 1t is true that the bees get but lit
tie nectar from the blossoms and have to be fed
sugar sirup, but they accomplish the purpose
of transferring pollen from one flower to another.
OF course this work might be done artiiciay.
That is, man might go from one blossom to an
other with small brush and transfer the pollen,

the winter Strawberries sell for a dollar two

Perhaps It may be said without getting anybody
into trouble that the free use of water by spray
ing makes possible some of the remarkable ex-
hbitions which bees occasionally give. Water Is
not always used. by any means, but when it is the
bees are rendered surprisingly tractable and doc

not stung at times. Indeed they may be
stung very often, but they are Injured to the eXpe-
rience and do not vince. And, of course, an
experienced beekeeper learns how to handle bees
without making them angry. Furthermore, some
Lees much gentler than others. Many times
1t is a good plan kill the queen in cross col
ony and replace her with young queen from a
quiet colony Yet the cross bees are likely to be
among the best honey producers in the apiary.
Many farmers fail to succeed with bees simply
because they neglect learn anything about their
management Ii is that bees do not require
a great amount OF attention and do best when
left alone of the time. Yet there are GER
tain things which have to be done just at the right
time and in just the right way. These the few
things that the farmer should know about. In
early spring. for example, the bees may easily
starve to death for lack of stores, although they
may have come through the winter safely. In that
event they must be fed sugar sirup if no honey
Is available. Equal amounts Of sugar and water
may be used and it is best to have the water
warmed but the sugar should never be melted on
the stove us it is likely to be burned. The sirup
may be given in of several different kinds of
feeders, but few better than shallow pan

taking honey out Is trouble at all, when bee
escape is used, for the bees do not ever know
what is going
The best way to begin beekeeping is to buy
colony two from some upto-date apiarist in the
neighborhood, but a hive full of bees can be
shipped by express the insects may be bought
by the pound If already has an empty hive
Indeed, this is practice which is becoming very
common, for experienced beekeepers often
invest in one, two three pound packages Of
bees in order to build up weak colonies. 1t is not
an unusual thing for bees to be shipped all the
way from Texas to Canada.
Sometimes wild bees may be captured in the
woods and brought home Although called wild
bees, these honey makers which are found in logs
and hollow trees have escaped from captivity at
some time for there were honey bees in this
country until they were brought here by the Pill
grim Fathers.
II the farmer owns more than half dozen colo
nies of bees it will pay him to get extractor.
This is simple device for separating the honey
from the combs, the latter being placed in
frame which revolves at high rate of speed
the liquid honey being thrown out of the wax cells
by centrifugal force. just cream is separated
from milk. Then the combs may be put back in
the hives for the bees to fill again. The farmer
usually get more honey this way and will
have less swarIning.

BY JOHN BARRETT, in the Review of Reviews

These the times when everybody should
be studying the twenty American republics lying
south of the United States. These are the days
of unprecedented and legitimate opportunity in
Latin America for the commercial and financial
interests Of this country. This present year
should be the beginning Of new epoch in the
material, social and political relations of North
and South America.
The next ten years going to be "all Ameri-
can" years. All America is to attract the atten-
ton of all Americans. This new development Is
inevitable. The cause is found in the natural
wealth. resources and potentialities of Central
and South America, their actual commerce and
trade. their remarkable progress during recent
years together with the unceasing propaganda
of the Pan American union. which vas at first
ridculed and little appreciated, but is now
generally valued and recognized The occasion
of this interest at this moment is the Euro
pean and the emphasis it has placed upon
the geographical segregation and commercial soli-
darity of the nations of the western hemisphere.
Consider Latin America in any phase one pre-
fers and 1t Is worthy of keen interest. Let us
first look at 1t geographically and physically. We
see twenty countries ranging in area from little
Salvador, with less than 5000 square miles, or
smaller than Vermont, up to mighty Brazil with
8,2oO,OO square miles, or greater than the United

ALLOWS COAL TAKEN

ATHENS. Jan. 26. - The newspa- pers announce today that Great Bri- tain has given her consent to the i'm portation into Greece of British ana American coal for industrial and na- val needs. The shortage of coal has been alarming since the allies having been practically blockading the coun- try in an effort to enforce their deV mands, and the first relaxation came when England allowed some coal to be brought into the country for domestic use, because the extreme cold in parts of the nation and the shortage of fuel was working a hardship on the poorer classes. This new allowance is taken to mean that the allies are approach ing an understanding with Greece as to the program to be pursued in the Balkans.

Mir.

BRITISH UNIONS ENDORSE WAR
 POLICIES

BRISTOL, Eng, Jan. %. - The British labor conference which is meeting in this city, has devoted most of it's time so far towards discussing the attitude that organized labor should take in regard to the govern ment's war policies, particular atten- ton being given to the compulsory enlistment measure. The delegates vote the full strength of the bodies they represent. The first vote today occurred on the question of endorsing the position taken by the House of Commons members of the Independent Labor party, whose representatives had cooperated with the other parties in the Commons during The national recruiting campaign under the plan evolved by Lord Derby. The confer ence by a vote of 1,147000 against 100000 voted to unqualifiedly approve the action of the labor members. The matter of the compulsory enlistment bill is now under discussion. the de bate being opened by William Ander- son, who is the president of the con ference, and a prominent member of Parliament. Anderson delivered vio- lent speech, attacking the measure, and it is thought likely that the con ference will, in the end, vote to dis approve conscription.

DEMAND RI ID BLOCKADE ALL
 GERMAN PORTS

LONDON, Jan 2G. - Both Sir Ed ward Grey. the British foreign min ister, and Lord Lansdowne exceeded themselves today in the debate in the House of Lords over the commerce of Germany. The two noted statesmen were in conflict on the matter, and they made the sparks fly when the sharp points of their eloquence clashed Grey is taken to have given the government view of the question, and the intimations in his speech were that the cabinet was unlikely to re- sort to an absolute blockade of Ger many through neutral ports. Lans- downe demanded that this be done, and criticised the government severe ly for it's lack of firmness in this re spect. The same matter was under discussion in the House of Commons, several of the members airing their views. The concensus of opinion in the Commons was that the govern ment should enact and enforce more stringent measures to prevent food stuffs and other conditionally contra band articles from reaching Germany and Austria.
