FARMERS' COLUMN. flic Vnluo ot Ituc (u Agriculture, American Beo Journal, A German society publishes tho following highly Interesting entlitistlc.il data referring Ui the Indirect utility of bees: "H has ever been ono of tho objects of nil agricultural fO' cicties to prove the great importance of bees to agricuUnro generally. It' appears that the society named possesses 1T,000 hives, from each of which 10,000 bees fly out rial ly,'Whlch represent a total of 170,000,000 of bees. If wo suppose that each beo under takes but four journeys per day, unci that this lakes place only on 1 00 days out nf the 385, then wo obtain n yearly total of 0,800, 000,000 of bee-journeys. It Is not loo much to.supposo that fifty flowers aro visited on each journey, and wo aro certainly justified In supposing that five out of theso fifty nro fertilized; then wo get a grand total of 356,000,000,000 of fertilized flowers per year, Let the Value of fertilizing 5.000 blossoms bo but on? pfeuning (or 500,000 for 25 cents), then tho work dono by bees of the 6icicty represents a vnluo of 08,000,000 pfennings, or $170,000. It results from thefo calculatio s thi t oich liivo lencfils nr.ricul lure o the amount of $10 annually, a value hitherto totally overlooked." Tho fertiliza tion of plants by the bees presents a very Interesting field for study. But for the oft repeated visits of bees mvriads of beautiful flowers would in ashortllmo ceaie to bloim, aye, and coaso to livo also I Many plants absolutely require tho visits of bees or other Insects to remove their pollen-masses, and thus to fertilize them. Hence Darwin wise ly remarks, when speaking of clover and heartsease: "No bees, no seed; no seed, no Increase of the flower. Tho moro visits from tho bees,the moro seeds from the flow ers, Ihe more flowers from the seeds." Dar win mentions tho following experiment: "Twenty head of white clover, visited by bees, produced 2,900 seeds, wliilo twenty head so protected that bees could not visit them produced not ono seed." Thus Is wis dom displayed by naturo on every hand. Nothing is created in vain; each has its proper sphoro, nnd each its appropriate work to perform. Selecting Ilalr)- Com.

A yellow skin and a yellow (inside) is almost universally re garded as present m a cow that gives rich yellow milk; but after you find the indica tions mentioned above, you may admire as many other point as you please such as first class escutcheon, a long, slim tail; a beautifully turned dishing face; a droop ing, waxy horn; a small, straight, slim log; or any ether fancy points; but do not look for theso till you have found tho essentials.
