NYE'S STUDY OF THE BEE

His Subject as His Subject Did

love to study bees, and once kept
bees myself. / often think of what a
late writer has said, that within so
small body should be contained an
apparatus for converting the various
sweets which it collects into one kind
of nourishment for itself, another for
the common brood, glue for it's carpen-
try, wax for its cells, poison for it's
enemies, honey for its master, with a
proboscis as long as its body itself.

during the propagating season, lays
as high as two thousand eggs In a
day, and I have given much thought
to the grating of the queen bee upon
the Plymouth Rock hen, with view
to better egg facilities, but so far met
with but little success. My expert
ments have been somewhat delayed
by the loss of time in taking the swell
ing out of myself after each perusal of
the bee character in his or her home
life. A writer says the best way to
ascertain the location of the queen is
to divide the swarm, after which it
will be noticed that the one having
the queen will quietly settle down
again, while the other portion will be-

this myself, and noticed that they
were very restless. They also com
municated their restlessness to me.
All of us got restless. The drones are
the male bees of the hive. They do
no work, except to act in a parental
capacity and vote. They have no
singers, but in it's place they have a
good appetite and a baritone voice.
They are destroyed by the workers
soon after the honey season, and the
widows have 1t all their own way.
About nine-tenths of the hive are
workers, or females, say, twelve to
fifteen thousand. These are the busy
bees referred to in books. They get
up early in the morning, eat a hasty
meal, and go out looking for honey
They fly with great force, and as
straight as bullet. Sometimes they
try to go through man on their way
to the hive, but only get part way

Anticipation aroused by HarvaId'e
announcement of new degree, that
of Phi. d. in business economics, are
already being rapidly dissipated. In
stead of being a sign of proficiency in
standing Wall street upon its head,
the new degree turns out to be meant
for teachers rather than practition-
ers of business. The academic trail
as usual, is over 1t all. There are
ominous remarks about the free use of
books in French and German, and
something about being well ground
ed" in European and American his
tory. The fields" listed for the gen
eral examination of the candidate for
the new doctorate are more to the
point, although economic theory is
required for everybody instead of for
those only who do not intend to go
into business, and there Is nothing In
the description of the courses in mar
keting, foreign trade, industrial man
agement and labor problems, and
money and banking, about laboratory

Potatoes-The situation is still in
clined to be a strong one, although
most dealers are well stocked up,
and the demand is limited. There
are very fair offerings, although, If it
were possible to secure cars, all could

Wheat-While there have been no
further radical advances in the price
of wheat, the market is still a strong
one so far as the Pacific Northwest
is concerned. A very considerable
proportion of the crop has passed out
of growers hands upon the recent
bulges that have maintained, although
much of the wheat remains to be
moved, awaiting the availability of
rolling stock. There is still much
talk of an embargo upon exports
while a feature of the situation is
reports of actual imports from AT
gentina and Australia.
Flour-The flour market shows a
strong undertone in sympathy with
the price of wheat, with mills gener
ally busy caring for local and export
!. requirements.
Feed-No changes as to prices have
been noted since the sharp advances
of last week. Market holds firm.

The Villa troops attacked repeated

the force of their blows was spent

the de facto forces and his efforts to
capture the city are growing less and

Assault on Wide Front.

The battle Saturday started soon
after the telegraphic communication
with Juarez was cut. The wire went
down at 10 o'clock a. M, and the bat
tie started shortly before IL a. m. The
bandits attack covered the entire
southern front from east to west, with
thanking operations to the east and
west.
Most desperate fighting occurred on
zarco avenue within the city. The
bandits threw their best equipped
forces against the entertainments
which had been thrown up across this
street. The Villa forces made every
possible efofrt to take these entrench
ments.

battle ragged back and forth in this

Villa bandits were driven out of the
mouth of the avenue onto the plains,
where they were raked with machine
gun fire.
