The lowly ~honey-bee, long since q

that more stands of bees are kept on

Fit In Farm Program.
Bees fit into the general farm pro-
gram in an admirable way. To those
who are unfamiliar with them a few
of their advantages may be probably
pointed out. In the first instance,
they require no special ground. A
small space in a corner of the orchard
will take care of them In excellent
shape. They do not require expen-
sive housing or equipment, although
they must be given proper hives to
work in for the best results. They
do not require any care. They feed
themselves and gather their honey
from sources which otherwise would
be lost. You have to buy no feed for
them.

masters Of the violin play this con-
ccSrto together. such as Ygayc and
Marteau number Of years ago, Ysayc
ana Elman about three Seasons ago and
various other thoroughly capable
artists. But they always do the same
thing: they start out bravely with n
hne balance Of tone, each yielding to
the other as the music requires. and be =
fore they are half way through the
first movement, each is playing against
the other with all his might.
Probably the perfect ''coicertantc"
TORN of the composition has something
to do with this. as each part has exactly
the same phrases as the other in each
m Ivclncnt. thus making it almost i'm
possible to say which is the chief part
and which, therefore. should be deferred
To-. AS Il matter of fact. there is prob
ably no composition for two instru-
ments in the literature of music where
the parts are so exactly equal in value
as in this concerto. The Mozart sym-
phony cOncertantc for violin and viola
with orchestra, played season or two
ago by Messrs. Rich and Verney, comes
about the closest TO 1t in this respect,
A MOTHER thing noticeable at the
a last performance Of the Bach con-
certo In this city was the fact that ut
the close of both the first and the last
movements, the chord of D major was
usc;l instead of that of D minor as is
written in the music.
This was an innovation which did not
sound well. The trend Of the music
throughout is distinctly toward n close
in ID minor and not u major. Bach
frequently used the major chord in
closing 1 composition in minor, and
that he knew how to do it effectively is
shown by the marvellous close of the
'Kyric' of the Mass in B minor, which
she Bach Choir sang at the Academy
n short time ago. where the device is
used with wonderful effect. But here
it belongs; It does not at the close of
the double concerto.
