Miss Holmes, who is a qualified engineer, has a number of other Inventions to her credit.

There is a very common saying among experienced orchardists which sums the matter up la a few words." It Is: "No bees, no fruit." The failure of orchards In certain parts of the country, the Indifferent fruiting which Is often blamed on the season, might very often be traced to the absence of bees. It does not make much difference, so far as the orchard Is concerned*, whether It is tame bees or wild bees thst perform nature's method of fertilization of the bloom. It does, however, make some difference to the orchard owner In that tame bees will give him a yield of honey and sure pollenizatlon without the consumption of excra ground. The same land can be made to yield two crops just as well aa one. Orchard Failures. The discontinuance of the keeping of'tame bees on many farms, and the additional destruction and disappearance of the wild bees In the 6urroundlng woods have all had their hand In the so-called "failure of orchards." Bees are one of the most profitable side lines which the farmer can carry. He can well afford to consider their possibilities, not only for their own aake but for the sake of the orchard. Under modern methods of handling bees, they are not half the bother and the trouble that they used to be. Swarming, the old-time bugaboo of the beekeeper, has been practically' eliminated, because we have learned Its cause and by practicing precautionary methods, by getting ready In advance for the "fun," bees can he hived In a very few minutes. Indeed, beekeepers now have ways of preveptlng swarming if they so desire. Modern Appliances, Modern appliances such as hives, supers and the uniform pound frames all aid in encouraging the modern bee to produce more than his earlier ancestors did. Ten to twenty pounds per hive used to be a fair average production for one season; now it Is not uncommon for Iowa beekeepers to receive as much as 200 pounds of honey from one hive In a favorable season. An average of 40 to SO pounds can ^e had from each hive under ordinary conditions per season, so Iowa beekeepers report. The finest quality honey- comes from whga dover, alstke clover and sweet clover. It is clear and golden. Buckwheat If often a desirable late feeding ground for bees, but tt falls short of premium prices on the market because It Is darker In color and a Uttle ranker In flavor. Soy Hay Beans Produce Best %. When Planted Thick Thickly planted soy beans produce hay of greater feeding value than those that are thinly planted, according to preliminary results of testa which are being made by the college of agriculture. University of Illinois. Soys seeded with a wheat drill at the rate of one and a fourth bushels an acre yielded hay with fine stems, only alx per cent of which was refused hy dairy cows, la contrast to this, Imwv that were seeded thinner produced coaraei hay, a.larger proportion of the stems being left uneaten. Hie plot seeded at the rate of about a half bushel an acre produced very coarse hay, 16 per cent of which was refused, according to Dr. W. B. Nevens, assistant chief of dairy cattle feeding at the college. The difference In the feeding value of the fine stemmed hay as compared with the coarse hay, therefore was about 12 per cent, or about 240 pounds for each ton of hay fed. For one thing the thinly seeded plots contained more weeds, an Important factor affecting the quality of hay. Larger plots of soy beans are being grown In the test with the object of making further studies of the effect of rate of planting on the quality of ***• • • Red Mites Disposed of / With Very Little Work the common red mites which often infest the hen house and kill or stunt chickens may be disposed of effectively with a little labor. These suggestions are offered by the poultry extension men at Iowa State college. 1. Clean up the filth around the hen house, ventllste thoroughly and let plenty of sunshine Into the house. 2. Construct removable roosts and dropping boards, allowing as tew cracks as possible. 3. Paint or spray the roosts, walls around the roosts, dropping boards and nests with a full-strength solution of two parts oil to one part stock dip, or five gallons lime sulphur to 40 gallons of water. Applications should be made four to six times In spring, summer and fall, and In pairs, one following the other In five or six days. Different Kinds of Pood When Hen Is Confined When the hen Is confined to the poultry house and Its Immediate surroundings, perhaps a small yard, the only way that she can make eggs Is to receive from the caretaker the various different kinds of food that she would obtain on free r$nge in summer, or their equivalents. On most farms there Is a reasonably good variety of grains. Including corn, wheat, oats and barley, and these form sufficient variety so far as they are concerned. In addition there should be ground grains, Including wheat, bran and cornmeal, to use In dry or damp mashes. To take the place of the bugs and worms of the summer season beef scraps, such as are furnished by dealers In poultry suppUea, or cat fresh bone should ha given. * Grain for Cattle *1't»iP*cattIe a grain ration o^oiethird bran, one-third middlings and one-third oats would be very suitable. While for the hogi. a ration of 00 per cent middlings and 40 per cent oats would make u suitable ration for sows or older pigs. For the youiyt pigs st weaning time a ration of 45 per cent ground oats, 45 per cent ground barley and 10 per cent tankage Is recommended as a more suitable ration. SILAGE FROM SOFT CORN CROP c ^"Easily and quickly made Chop line and Pack Tightly ^ Is Plan Urged*./ , Hier* 1s a lack of silo room te ttany places for the whole corn crop should it be frosted or Immature. Because the ears are the mofet valuable part they should be saved in any event. It Is difficult to save the ears of a soft com crop by storage In cribs. In 1917 the Iowa experiment station demonstrated that soft ears In the late roasting stage could be husked, run through a silage cutter, and tightly packed Into silos with very good result* The sllsge resulting sfter 12 days of fermentation was of surprisingly good quality and held Its flavor so well that at the end of two months It was in excellent feeding condition. Silage can be made In ten or twelve days snd will .probably be ready to feed two weeks after filling. "It Is not necessary to husk the corn In order to make soft-ear silage," says Andrew Boss of University Farm, St Paul, Minn. "Snapped corn can te handled Just as satisfactorily as the husked corn and the husks give the sdvantage of greater bulk and additional feed. "The Iowa station urges chopping the corn finely in making ear-corn silage and packing it tightly In the silo by tramping, especially near the walls. SHage made from ears that are partially matured may require the addition of water to Insure proper packing and prevent overheating and molding In the sllsge-maklng process. Silage made from ear corn should b^ covered wfth a layer of finely cut corn fodder or stover. If such a cover Is not provided there will he too much waste of valuable corn. It Is not advisable to make silage of mature or nearly mature corn. The cobs prevent packing and they do not contain sufficient sugar to permit the fermentation which is necessary for preservation. "Ear corn silage should be fed ss a concentrate, not aa a roughage." they need to be steadied by a moderate pressure on the bit. Whipping Is worse than useless. The experience of practical teamsters proves conclusively that no pair of horses can or will exert their best efforts when fearful that they are about to be whipped. Fear Interferes with the deliberate, eareftfl placing of feet and legs. Quite Profitable Plan to Apply Lime Dressing Once a soil has been given a dressing of two to three tons of lime per acre, additional lime will most likely not be needed for the next eight or ten yesrs, so the cost of liming Is smsll when considering the length of time the lime will do service In the soli. Three tons of alfalfa per acre Is s lot better than two tons of red clover. Similarly, 65 bushels of corn per acre is a lot more profitable than 40 bushels.

Hm4 ip Bring Afcoof Thereto nothlhgMWMlar the sunt anti-weapon hwt have heoa tried before--in 1162, for instance. A gnedy and witieai king of rtance, VI, attempted to retmpoee on the people of Pacta what would now be called a sales tax. The people of Paris arose in their might--armed, as it happened, with mallets. The insurrection Was quickly put down by the disciplined forces; tut, to prevent further of the kind, s rigorous disarmament law waa passed and very strictly enforced. Paris was regarded as the pivot of the kingdom; it must not be spilt by internal fighting; and obviously--to the feeble mind of Charles VI--fighting would be absolutely prevented by the removal of the Inhabitants' weapons. • Time passed, about 80 years. A generation of Parisians arose which knew not weapons. Then under circumstances It is not necessary to detail, a certain duke of Burgundy wished to. have command of the city. It was politically impossible for him to take It by force of anus; but it was possible, ss it would be nowadays, for him to engineer the election of a friend of his to the captaincy of the city. Had ail the inhabitants been armed, this move would have been without effect; a captain can only command; and to order the whole tody of the citizenry to fight against its own Interests would be useless. But, under the circumstances, the count de St Pol's course was clear. One class of citizens had of necessity been exempted from the disarmament procests--the butchers. The butchers had knives, axes and bludgeons galore --Just as after modern disarmament plumbers would still have lots of lead pipe, and miners plenty of dynamite; And one class of citizens can usually be Induced to betray the other classes for its own benefit. So the duke of Burgundy controlled Paris, much against the desire of the Parisians at large, by means of a Parisian militia. The powerful, but unarmed, university ; and the indignant, but weaponless, population, protested violently. But It has not been recorded anywhere that their protests ever did them any geod.--F. R.
