This amounts to loss to the york

the fertilization of blossoms in this way is
probably much greater than that of all the honey

to fertlize the blossoms, and the market gar

three times the connected area Of the United
States They contain mountains higher, rivers
longer and navigable, valleys wider and
more fertile and climates more varied than those
of the United States.
Noting the population we find that Costa Rica
starts the small end of the list with 100000 in
habitants and Brazil tops it with 20OOO,O0O. All
Latin America supports today approximately a
population of 75,O00OO0, which is increasing by
reproduction faster than is the population of the
United States. When the new emigration from
Europe starts in after the war, and when the
Panama canal is in full use by the shipping of
peaceful Europe, this total may overtake and
pass that of the big sister nation Of North Amer

We are almost astonished by the figures of
Latin-American commerce. They make respect
if some other influences may not be favorable.

United States, through sheer strength and capac-

huge sum of nearly $1,000 100000. This was
divided almost equally between exports and inn

Evan B. Stotsenburg, attorney general tells a
story concerning the early days of the telephone
in New Albany
A character of the town, who operated an Office
in rooms just above the livery stable was i'm

had one placed in his Office.
Meanwhile the new-fangled instrument also

sive to be feasible. It has to be done in green
houses where strawberries are grown, for when
bees are used the fruit is always misshapen, but
the winter strawberries sell for dollar or two
pint!
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-
hibitions which. bees occasionally give Water is
not always used by any MEANS but when it is the
bees are rendered surprisingly tractable and doc
lie. There are no bee tanners, however, who
are not stung at times. Indeed, they may be
stung very often, but they Injured to the expe-
rence and do not even vince. And, of course,
experienced beekeeper learns how to handle bees
without making them angry. Furthermore, some
bees are much gentler than others. Many times
it is good plan to kill the queen in cross col
ony and replace her with young queen from
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 to learn anything about their
management 1t is true that bees do not require
great amount of attention and do best when
left alone most 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 are the few
things that the farmer should know about. In
early spring for example, the bees may easily
starye to death for lack of stores, although they
may have come through the winter safely. In that
event they must be fed on sugar strip 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 as it is likely to be burned. The strip
NAV be given in one of several different kinds OF
feeders, but few are better than shallow pan
from the ten-cent store with a little excel-
sior in it for the bees to walk on. Ii this pan

BY JOHN BARRETT, in the Review of Reviews.


These are 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 a new epoch in the
material social and political relations of North
and South America.
The next ten years are going to be "all Ameri-
can" years All America is 10 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 was at first
even ridiculed and little appreciated, but is now
generally valued and recognized. The occasion
of this new interest at this moment is the Euro
pean war and the emphasis it has placed upon
the geographical segregation and commercial soil
darfty of the nations Of the western hemisphere.
Consider Latin America in any phase one pre-
fers and it is worthy of keen interest. Let US
first look at it 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
100000 square miles, or greater than the United
States proper with Great Britain thrown In! In

taking honey out is no trouble at all, when a pee
escape is used, for the bees do not even know
what is going
The best way to begin beekeeping is to buy
colony or two from some up-todate apiarist in the
neighborhood, but hive full OF bees can De
shipped by express or the insects may be bought
by the pound If one already has an empty hive
Indeed, this is a practice which is becoming very
common, for even experienced beekeepers often
invest in one, two threepound packages OF
bees in order to build up weak colonies. It 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 brought here by the Pill
grim Fathers.
If the farmer owns more than half dozen colo
MES of bees it will pay him to get an extractor.
This is simple device for separating the honey
from the combs, the latter being placed in
frame which revolves at a high rate of speed,
the liquid honey being thrown out of the wax cells
by centrifugal force, just as cream is separated
from milk. Then the combs may be put back in
the hives for the bees to fill again. The farmer
can usually get honey this way and will
have less swarming

nave sought TO get TlQ OF the
bees on the ground that they damage the ripe
fruit. The crop so quickly decreased in size how
ever that the fruit were glad enough to
have the bees back again. There is Well-es-
tablished belief that bees puncture grapes in
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 it has not been
moested. 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 are so made
that it would be unable to bite into otherwise
make holes in fruit 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 few bees are to be
round and many apple growers are now
tablishing apiares 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 adj
joining field if the orchard is to be cultivated as
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.
Beekeeping is not to be recommended to hostlers.
To the orchardist the honey and wax which he
gets from his bees merely by-products. An
extra yield in fruit is what he is after. And he
gets it, as may be judged from an instance cited
by of the state experiment stations. It seems
that two orchards situated in the same part of
the country cultivated in exactly the same
and had the same kinds of trees. Yet one
prolific and the other failure. When the
experiment station was appealed to, the trouble
was diagnosed as lack of bees to pollinate the
flowers. "You are wrong" the answer was flashed
back "fOr there no bees in either orchard"
The inspector not convinced, however, and
after search he found very strong colony of
bees in a fallen log in corner Of the bearing

interest on investment of SIS or $40 in bees.
Most people do not know that apple blossom
requires to be fertilized several times in order
to produce the best fruit, but this is fact More
over, the blossoms of some trees must be pollinized
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, 2,586 apple blossoms were
covered in order to keep the bees away, and only
three apples matured. OF course, the bee does not

 People talk about the comfort and quiet of writer's life. We'll, just as soon as you hear it. you can put 1t down that they don't know anythins about it. Some day, they doubtless figure that they will take a little time and write a little story. I've heard it all, but it won't go.''

 In relating her experiences of the last several months, she spoke of re- ceiving letter from Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in which the writer men, toned that she had contracted for the photoplay production of 52 of her poems.

 As the congregation stood and sang the "Venite" Mrs. Claybrook sank quietly in her pew, which was inn mediately in front of the pulpit. The rector and nearby friends, including physicians, hurried to her side She was still breathing. The choir finished the 'Nenfte" and Dr. Claybrook read a prayer and pronounced the benediction. It was not until later that the congre- gation realized that death had come among them.
 Although she had been in poor health for several years, Mrs. Claybrook had retused to reltnquish any of her work as the wife of the pastor of St. Mary's, ana sunday morning, as usual, she taught her Sunday class of little girls, and her death, caused by a bursting plood vessel, came as a complete sur prise to her family and friends.
