Nearly every farmer keeps hens and cows, but very few have one colony of bees, notwith- : standing the fact that honey is one of the most wholesome, appe- ‘tizing and valuable dishes that }ever graced the table. The young |city lady who joyfully exclaimed, l“0.h! I see you keep a ‘bee’ ” when she saw honey on the table, doubtless had a ridiculous con- ception of what a Lee looked like; but she had a VlVid recollection of the inimitable sweetness of the lnectar which the industrious little insect stored up for food. It is really remarkable how ignorant the great majority of farmers are concerning the vastly important part the bee plays in the economy of nature. They may readily laugh at the city girls who ask 5.2) see the cow that gives the butterâ€" Hwy Wu-- milk, or the bee that produces the I honey, but how many of the far» mers know that without the bee there would be no apples in the orchard, no cucumbers on the vine, no peas in the pod, no pumpkin-3 m the cornfield, no seed on the buckwheat? In short, how many are aware that if every bee Were destroyed, our country would be almost, if not entirely ruined? The iertiliaaticn of the flowers de- pends principally on the bees. It is true that other insects, and the! wind, contribute considerably tow- i ards reproduction, but the hairy little bodies of the bees are the chief pollen distributors of plant “life. A writer in the O.A C. Review ‘coniirms what I have just stated. IHe tells us that in a certain sec- tion of Ontario there is an apiary of 100 colonies where seed-alsike is grown. The seed close to the , apiary was a splendid yield, while one and a half miles away, it was not worth threshing, showing that Classic City Chronicles. the bees had not found it nc-ce-a- sary to go that far for nectar, and- the fertilization of those blossoms had been neglected.” Surely then it is profit-able to keep bees from the standpoint of fruit and seed production alone. But bees have. a double value, for while they are fertilizing flowers, they are gath- ering thoney, which furnishes one of the most palatable and whole- some foods that ever was eaten. From the apiary referred to, the proprietor gathered 8000 lbs. of honey, and “the farmers within a 1.] radius of one and a half miles had hundreds of dollrars’ worth of al- sike seed which those outside did not get.” It would pay the farm- ers to procure dependable litera- ture on bee culture, and then put the information obtained into practice by investing in a colony 'â€"â€"- or tWO of bees. Then when they found out by experience how to handle them‘ properly, they will be ready for more extensive opera- tions. I was tanlkfmg recently to an odd man (83 years), who has been keeping bees for many years, and he told me that if he were young again ,he would take up bee-keep- ing as an occupation. He believes it is one of the most interesting and profitable industries connect- ed with agriculture. It may not be wise, however, to turn one’s Jarm into an aptiary, but I am con- 1 tident that it would pay any farm- er to keep say 10 or 15 colonies. after he has learned how to take care of them. The hot, dry spell we are hav- ing is causing some anxiety, but so far, the crops in this district have not suffered any, owing to the heavy clay soil, which sustains the moisture much longer than lighter land .Fall wheat promises to be a bumper crop, while spring cereals and hay are rapidly ,torg- ing ahead. v'---â€" the best preparation of Beef.
