BEES ARE VERY PROFITABLE
Common Honey Gatherer Is by Far
Best Carrier of Polen-Scatter
Through Orchard.

The common honey bee is by far
the best carrier of pollen and it will
pay the fruit grower to keep bees,
even though he may not care to go
into the honey business. Bees, how
ever, are n very profitable side-line
for the Orchardist, especially if al
falfa fields are available to work on
after the blooming season of fruit
has passed. About one hive of bees
to an acre of bearing orchard should
be provided.
Preferably the hives should be scat.
tered as widely as possible throughout
the orchard during the blooming sea-
son. Experiment and experience have
shown that little reliance can be
placed on the efficacy of wind and Of
insects other than the honey bee in
effecting the transfer of pollen from
tree to tree, or in fact from flower to
flower.

Little EthePs Brave Attempt to Con-

Little Ethel was an only child and
one day, when the minister called she
was told to entertain him in the par
lor until her mother could see him.
A few minutes later the mother,
on her way downstairs, heard the Wis
itor ask Ethel how many brothers and
sisters she had, and, to her surprise
and CONSERVATION, the little miss an
swered, Seven"
Although somewhat perturbed, the
mother made no comment upon the
remark of her little daughter, but sent
her out to play.
After the minister had left, the
child was taken to task and asked why
she had said there were seven children.
Ethel replied:
Because l didn't want that strange
gentleman to know that you were SO
poor that you didn't have but one
child. "-EverybOdy's Magazine.

Joined the Victoria police, and was
largely responsible for the capture of
the bushranger "Jewboy." He was then
appointed secOnd-in-cOmmand of an ex-
petition that set out to find traces of
Leichardt (another bushranger), and
he used to tell that one day the party
was surprised by 200 natives, with hos
tile intent, whereupon one Mcintosh
yelled: 1.-THE pipes, Charlie, the pipes
while we retreat" The old adven-
turer played the pipes-and the natives
were so mystified that they stood
open-mouthed while the party marched
off.

Planting cover or green manurel
crops Is matter which requires at
tention in September in most parts of
the United States, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Glover, vetch, and other legumes
serve the triple purpose of adding
humus to the soil, accommodating nj
trogen, and preventing soil erosion.
With some tender berry and fruit
crops they also serve to protect the
roots from severe winter weather. Out

rye Is largely used as a cover crop
sown in the fall and plowed under in
the spring to add organic matter to the
soil. The cover-crop problem varies
largely with locality, but for over

is universal, and that Is to get the
crop in the ground in time to secure
good growth before freezing weather.

discovery that legumes store up nitro

clover was a valuable improver rested
first on experience, and later expert

legumes and the nodule bacteria.
Other legumes, as the coWpea, the
Japan clover and bur clover In the
South, and crimson clover on the At

territory, not well adapted to red
clover. The various vetches are held
in widespread favor, different varie-

SUCKERS ON CORN HARMLESS
Many Farmers Have Mistaken Idea
That Earless Stalks Are Hin
drance to Growth.

Many farmers are possessed with
the idea that the suckers or earless
stalks which grow from an ear-bear-
ing stalk of corn, are hindrance to
the best growth of the latter;
and valuable hours are sometimes
spent removing them. But expert
ments during two successive years on
Nebraska farms demonstrated that
corn with the suckers left undlsturbed
outyielded that from which the suck
ere had been removed. Their leaves,
like the others, would seem to per
form useful office in absorbing nu-
tritlve elements from the atmosphere
for the benefit of the ear on the main
stalk.

my friend" said Emerson, "gives
me entertainment without requir-
ing me to st0op, or to lisp, or to
mask myself" Further, friend
ship needs tenderness to tide 1t
over rough roads and hard fare,
which are bound to come. The end
of friendship is for aid and COM
fort through all the relations and
passages Of life and death. With
out Truth and Tenderness, a
friendship cannot survive such ex-
perience.
This kind Of friendship seems
OF necessity to be limited to two
persons. With the presence Of
third, f-consciousness enters In
and the fine sincerity Of the for
mer relation is lost 1t is difficult
enough to find two persons whose
interests and personalities so COM
plement each other as to make |
real friendship possible. A third
would compllcate the situation
Some one will say: What Of the
clubs and lodges where men grow
Intimate with each other? Such
exist in numbers, 1t is true; but
real friendship as defined by
Emerson cannot develop In the
midst Of a group. The whole of
each members personality could
not be gr2sped by the others. The
aw of one to one, as Emerson
sums it up, is the practice and

MORE IMPORTS FROM u. S.

Tokio-Japan's exports to
America, up to 1917, always ex-
ceeded imports therefrom, the eX-
cess in that year being 11S,S29,-
600 yen. In 1918, the balance
changed, America, taking goods
valued at 95,S96,000 yen in ex-
ports to japan. In 1919, there
was balance of 61,716,000 yen
in favor of Japan but in 1920 the
balance in favor of America
jumped to 3OS,165.0OO yen, ac-
cording to figures collected by
japanese financial papers.
In 1921 this balance dropped
to 7Sa17,000 yen and for the
first seven months of this year
it was 19,5S4,O0O yen. This
moderation has been due to the
