bees on the ground that they damage the ripe
fruit. The crop so quickly decreased In size how
ever, that the fruit men were glad enough to
have the bees back again. There is a welles-
tablished belief that bees puncture grapes in or
der to extract the sweet juice but the fallacy Of
this belief has been proved beyond doubt. Ripe
fruit has been placed inside beehive, with thou
sands of the insects present, but 1t has not been
mOlested 1t is true that if hornets or birds make
holes in grapes, pears other ripe fruit the bees
will feed on the Juice which is exuded. In point
of fact, the jaws of the honey bee made
that it would be unable to bite into or otherwise
make holes in fruit, even If it had will to do So
Orchards in which bees are present in large
numbers are almost always much more productive
than those in which only a few bees are to be
found and many apple growers are now es-
tablishng apiaries in near their orchards. It is
not necessary to have the hives actually under the
trees and it may be better to have them in an ad
joining field If the orchard Is to be cultivated,
otherwise the hives might be in the way and the
horses stung. Bees seem to have an instructive
dislike for horses and will even attack the bee
keeper sometimes If he starts to work In the bee
yard when the odOr of horses is upon his clothing
Reekeeping is not to be recommended to hostlers
To the orchardist the honey ard wax which he
gets from his bees are merely by-products An
extra yield in fruit is what he is after. And he
gets 1t, as may be Judged from an instance cited
by one of the state experiment stations. 1t seems
that two orchards situated in the same part of
the country were cultivated in exactly the same
manner and had the same kinds of trees Yet one
was prolific and the other failure. When the
experiment station was appealed to, the trouble
was diagnosed as lack of bees to polnate the
flowers. "You are wrong" the answer was flashed
back, "for there are no bees in either orchard"
The inspector was not convinced however, and
after search he found very strong colony of
bees in fallen log in one corner Of the bearing
orchard. Bees were Immediately installed in the
other orchard by the owner and as result he
nettcd nearly $4,000 the next season-pretty good
interest on an investment of SIS or $50 in bees
Most people do not know that an apple blossom
requires to be fortified several times in order
to produce the best fruit, but this is fact. More
over the blossoms of some trees must be pollnized
from another source if fruit is to be set. The
work is done largely by honey bees, although wild
bees and other insects help out to some extent
Once as test case, 1856 apple blossoms were
covered in order to keep the bees away, and only
three apples matured. OF course, the bee does not
pollinize the blossoms purposey. She is in search

Colonies of honey makers

BY ROBERT II. MouLToN.

ARMERS in this country are just
, coming to realize the debt which
they owe to the honey bee. 1t
has long been understood, Of
course, that this busy little in
sect fertilizes the blossoms of ap-
pie and other fruit trees and so
helps to increase the crop, yet
the bee has seldom been credited
with doing so much good as is
actually the case: Indeed, in
times past some fruit growers

New England-and yet she fled from
Massachusetts to hide heartache.

kind and generous-its the way feel
How can I cure the ache and the
inconsistencies for things that may new

No answer came to her out of the
swiftly falling winter twilight.
Perhaps the knowledge that we'd
ding was taking place in Boston at
that very hour confused her reasoning
powers. The man had ceased to love
her and she had offered him his free
dom and he had accepted it, and so,
being without near relatives, Bernice
had found position out here in Mon
tana. This was her first Christmas in
Rocky Gulch.
After awhile she locked the school
house door, and with the children's
Christmas offerings in her lunch bas-

place, where she boarded.
It was showing hard now and the
trail was rapidly disappearing under
the white blanket. In the deepening
gloom dark shapes appeared, approach
ing and receding, but they proved to
be the pine trees fringing the steep
slopes.
Far below, the lights of the town
cleaned through the darkness and
then vanished, and Bernice, plunging
out Of the path to avoid a deep drift,

mountain in raging blizzard.
Hours afterward, she sank exhaust
ed at the foot of pine tree and drop
ped her head on her outstretched
arms.
Il will rest for few minutes" she
murmured drowsily.
Down in the town Mrs. Tucker
waited supper that Christmas eve un-
til nine o'clock. Then little Willie
Tucker sleepily announced that Mrs.
Halliday had invited teacher to spend
the night and eat Christmas dinner at
the Halliday ranch. Gliding Willie for
his tardy information, Mrs. Tucker
fastened to the telephone and called
the Halliday ranch; but the wires were
all down, and so the anxious little
woman decided that the teacher had
been unable to send word about her
change of Christmas plans, and went
about the trimming of the Tucker
Christmas tree with renewed activity.
Bernice opened her eyes in the liv-
ing room of warm log cabin. Gay
Navajo blankets hung from the walls
and covered the broad couch on which
she reclined before a blazing fire of
hickory logs.
Two men were bending over the fire ;
one was stirring something in bright
tin saucepan, something hot and
steaming which he poured into tum-
bier and brought to her bedside.

ess. It is, therefore, only partly q
parasite so far as dependence upon
a host for food is concerned, but ap-
parently none the less harmful on that
account. 1t secures from it's host only
what the normal shrubbery plant de-
rives from the soil, namely, water and
certain necessary mineral constituents.
Imagine a grapevine or Il trumpet
creeper, while retaining it's foliage, to
sever connection With the soil and to
thrust rootlike outgrowths into the
body of the tree to which it clings in
order to absorb from the tree what
before it absorbed from the soil. This
would represent the relation which
mistletoe sustains to it's host
1t is interesting to note that there
are points of difference between the
American mistletoe and the European
miStletoe, to which such a wealth Of
legend and romance attaches But the

identical with the European plant.

A great deal has been learned about
mistletoe by the botanists, and yet
there is much about the curious plant
which the WiseSt men do not know.
The variety with which people are ac-
quainted is parasite, yet it is not
altogether parasite.
William L. Bray, an investigator in
forest pathology for the Department
Of agriculture, has written this for the
Washington Star:
"The plant is a parasite. 1t fastens
itself upon it's host, the tree, pene-
trates it's tissue and draws nourish-
ment from it, reforming it and sap
ping it's vitality. Yet the mistletoe is
a green, leafy plant; that is, it pos

gives the green color to normal veg

OF mistletoe bear leaves as large as
those of the American elm.
