Left to himse'.'f, tlii- Ic-e will try to escape and continue his work. ! But ripht here is where most peop'ej who don't ki .-.v bees, get excited audi swing and swat. That tells the beo| that you are his enemy. The bee Ikv j lieves in preparcdne.is, but he never I attacks, he only defends himself. I If you take a .swing at a l)ee, tho charwes are 1,0(M) to 1 that you will be; stung, for the bea can dodj<t» faster] than you can nwat. I Don't fight the l>ee. You're licked before you start.

For DON'T RUN THE CAR WITH BATTERY OUT. t Never run an automobile engine after the battery ha.s been taken out, or even with the generator di.soonnect- •d from the ! attory. On some mag- neto-equipped cars whijie the battery i is only used for starter and lights, thlsl is easily prjS.siblc, and any attempt to do so will almost certainly ruin the generator. Under the circumstances,! 'â-  » current generai.v.'d must go some-; where and, unable to find an outlet,: it will back up and burn out the armature. If for any reason it Is nee- j easary to run tho engine of a mag-, ncto-^uipped car, or any engine with I tho battery out or disconnected, con- 1 nect a heavy insulated cable to thei binding post of tho generator and I carefuKy ground the other end to the! fr.^ime or other metal paa-t of the car, | making sure the connections at eachj end are good â€" *hat is, clenn and tight. The wire used must have a diameter of at least one-si. xteenth of an inch. (This means the wire insido tho cable! and not the entire cable, includin,'^ in- sulation and all.) Too lifcht a wire can not carry th<- heavy current and con«ie(|uently will boat. Busy Times at Nit^ara Falls.

Th'- romedy is seed disin- fection. Dr. Clayton t'^berts Orton, Prof. of Plant Pathology at Pennsylvania State College, Is engaged in research aloncT this line and has been able to trace the spread of plant diseases through seed distribution in many I cases. Through the sale and distribu- j tion of infected seed, parasites have . been widely distributed throughout the j production areas of the world. Some parasites, .such as the cereal smuts, I are known to be distributed wherever 1 these crops are grown. I Seed treatment of wheat, oats, bar- ; l'»y, etc., will control smuts and other I diseases and result in a yield increase I valued greatly in excess of the expense ] involved.

The Wee Bit Boxie.
