FARM NOTES,
WHY FARMERS SHOULD KEEP BEES,
~The fact that bees are polien distri! «
‘utors is sufficient reason why a place
should be made for them on every farm.
If kept for no other purpose thau the
benefit they do to growing crops and
Truit-bearing trees and plants by spresa.
ing the pollen nmong the blooms, these
industrious workers would be a valua-
ble adjunet. Testimony is abundant
&rf gonelusive us to the desirable ef.
fects of bees upon grape vines, fruit
trees and frul -bearing plants generally.
Indeed one promiusnt aplarist goes so
far us to insist that a few hives of bees
Judiciously placed will revive a fruit
farm from a non-paying to a profitable
investment. Field crops, scientists tell
us and wide-uwake farmers know from
their own observation, are greatly as-
sisted by the honey bee's manipulations,
Indeed, their influence is required for
the pertect floral fertilization of some
of the cereal crops and the meadow
grasses. Where the farmer is too busy
to give his personal attention to the pro-
duction of Loney it is suggested that he
purchase a few hives and turn these
over te the care of his wife and daugh-
ters. They will ind the pin money ac-
cruing from the sale of the honey a
convenient and pleasant return for the
Jaber and time spent among the bees,
“The outdoor occupation, too, will prove
# welcome and healthful change from
indoor drudgery, which they can then
afford to hire done,

This is a matter of interest to steck-
men, It issald that Pasteur’s idea,
that Infectious diseases in animals can
be prevented oy inoculation, the same
as vaccination prevents smallpox, has
been carried out to some extent by the
Saxony Agricultural Society with the
approval of ths German Government.
Sixteen head of cattle were inoculated
for pleuro-pneumonia and subsequently
placed among a herd highly infected
To Revolutionize Sill Hanufatere.
A new proeess for tne manufacture of
salt from brine, which is described od
| himple, automatic snd continnons, has
| been invented. While requiring only
hbout two-fifths of the fuel at present
1ecessary for the manufacture of salf,
éhe process can be worked with a mini:
mum of noskilled labor. Tle system
of salt manufacture al present in vogue
is that of the evs rt of brine. in
open pans, heated by fires underneath.
he defects of this system are that it ls
very slow, and that tho ontput is come
paratively small in proportion to the
ares occupiod and the quantity of fuol
used. The life of a salt pan aversges
too, only three years, the lormation of
scale on the Lowtom of the pan causing
‘it to burn away, In the new process
‘tho evaporation of the “Lrine takes
!place in rarefied chambers, and the
liquid is Leated by steam. The new

(sisting of four main sod closely cone

chamber, the boiling chamber, the col:
lecting chamber and the flitering olism:
ber, he three seolfons are placed side
by side, a few feet apart, an they are
couneeted together by pipes. The first
section is in commupication with s
steam boiler or with the exhaust steam
fromwen engine, while the third seetion
is connected with an air pump and
condenser. Edoh of the three sections,
having been charged with b ive, steam
is admitted to the beating chamber of
the first section, heating the Lrine in it.
The steam given off from thas. brine
enters the steam chamber of tho second
saction and heats the brive in shalass
tion, the steam from which goes to the
Loating ‘chamber of tbe third svction
snd lieats tho Lrine therein. A vacuuin

by a pamp, boiling or evaporation is
carried on at the reduced temperature

BEET sUGAL.—There are at present |
I3 0 beet sugar factories in Europe,and
whey consume 24,000,000 tons of beets
avery year. Thelr annual output of |
sugar amounts to 2,000,000 tons, It is |
said that over $30,000,000 are expended
for labor and fuel, and that $10 1,000,000
are pald to farmers for beets, These
Ggures are probably too high, but they |
serve to throw light upon the magni-|
wide and importance of the industry.

A farmer labors hard, early, late per. |
