VKANJU.IN tiitMiCAL ttiO Filbert Htrcet, I'lJUUelpUJa, i'» THE BEE AND THE GRAPE, J Be* May Tokr Flr»t hot There" Jniit the Snrne. When the bees were destroying my prapes this year, I had it in mind to write you in repard to It. but thought perhaps it was not worth while. Pro fessor Slingerland's article, however, has called it to mind, as well as some older memories. Some time early in the eighties. I do not recall the exact year, bees destroyed nearly all my grapes, somewhere from 10 to 20 bush els. When they were at work on the grapes by the thousands, I wrote my old friend and classmate. Professor A. J. Cook, the well known Bee expert, in regard to it. and he answered in effect that I must be mistaken. Bees were not built that way and could not make an opening through the skin of a grape. I was reminded of the old story of the lawyer who went into Ihe prisoner's cell and told hinj that he could not be Imprisoned on such a charge. '4iut," said the prisoner, "I am here." In spite of the impossibility of the bees doing such a thing I saw thousands of them destroying my grapes and knew that they ruined nearly my whole crop that year. I cannot say that they made the first puncture in the grape, and it makes no difference whether they did or not. If something else did it, they were on hand to take advantage of it, and finished up the work of destruc tion, doing practically the whole of it. That year the first step in the work I was a small round puncture through the skin, not larger than a pin prick. The juice was sucked out and the hole gradually enlarged, until several bees worked in it at once. The skin was finally split from end to end of the grape and -every last bit of the juice extracted, leaving nothing but the dry | skin and seeds and the hard matter of I the pulp. That was my first experl ! enee of the kind and the last until this I year. These two are the only years in the past 40 that bees have injured grapes on my place. This year they did not begin on the grapes so soon after ripening and did not destroy over half the crop. The destruction began in a different way this year from what It did before. Then it began with a round puncture like the prick of a pin. This year it began with a very small V shaped incision, such as might have been made with a three cornered needle. This was gradually enlarged, the cut or tear be ] ing extended and the point of skin rolled back until the grape was split ; from en i i > end and sucked dry. j 1 have ;■ -: n this work being done by ! swarms of bees and have seen it in all I stag" t \r-ept that I cannot positively ! state that I ever saw the first minute ! puncture made, and I know that the j bees did ihe work of destruction. For- I ty million instances where bees did I nothing of the kind do not have a j particle of weight with me against these instances where I knew they did it. This year and nearly every year they work ou my Abundance plums. As soon (is the plums turn a little red the birds pick into them, and then the bees step in and complete the work of destruction. Thus writes a Michigan man to Ru ral New Yorker. Full RmittnK of Wheal. It may be useful to call the attention of wheat growers to the rusting of wheat during the very warm weather of the present fall. This is conspicuous on early sown wheat, which may in some in tances owe most of Its chang ed app' arance (yellow color) to the rust rather than to the attacks of the Hessian fly. We find this rust, which is the red or uredo stage (the black stag" or teleuto spores not occurring, so far as we know, on living wheat In the fali), very abundant at the experi ment station upon the early sown wheat, < specially upon very early plots where dales of sowing are tested. Up on th" later plots there is a diminished amount, grading off somewhat accord ing to the relative earliness or the- rela tive proximity to th" earliest and most affected wheat. That the same condi tion i<= attested hy observations report ed by the entomologist and his assist ant and I > othe In this connection it i... be stated that the Puccinia ru bigo \ ra, or usual wheat ru.st, can live over winter in this uredo stage In the wheat plant which may become affect ed in the fall, writes Professor A. I>. Selby to Ohio Farmer. I'nlp In Ihe r.anl. Last fall l"young cattle were pur chas' d aud fed through the winter on nothing but beet pulp and refuse mo lassi s. one <; iart per day, the sugnr factory being near by. The stock did so well and f;:'teiii<! so nicely that it Is proposed to try dry cows this fall and feed them In the same way. The pulp costs $1 per ton at the factory. It is perhaps as nearly comparable to silagQ as any Hi ing, though a recent bulletin shows that it contains only about 40 per cent as much of solids as silage. It 11 believed to be good feed for those who can get It without too much ex pense. says a Rural New Yorker writ er. lfew» anil Noted. A special InvoKtigator claims It Altogether probable that the chicory Industry in America Is "on Its feet." During the past three years chicory factories have been established by manufacturers who have found that American grown chicory can be man ufactured more profitably than the im ported root upon which duty must be paid. Imports of chicory have fallen from $240,393 In 18!>7 to $13,414 In 1899. Peanut butter, as It Is called, is mar keted to a considerable extent. Authorities upon broom corn pro duction "stlmate the world's consump tion of brush to be about 30,000 tons, grown on 12,0'Ki acres, about 28,000 tons being produced in Illinois. Commercial estimates of the 1900 wheat crop of Siberia place It at 32,- 000,000 bushels. L. C. WICK, DyAI.HR IN LUHBER. kIADk TAfTS PHILADELPHIA A Y !

HE TRIES TO BE A BROTHER TO HIS SISTER EVA. Incideatally Brines tpon Hlm»elf Not Only Her VfHKcanof, bat th® Wrath of One of tbe Most Diftnifled Men In the Skyacraper. [Copyright, 1900, by C. B. Lewis.] The first I knew about Miss Mur fioek, the stenographer and typewriter, ' moving into our skyscraper was when she sent for me to call at room 23. I found her to be a woman of 40. and I couldn't say that she was a dream of loveliness. She was tall and thin and I scrawny, and her hair would have been ; gray if she hadn't bleached it. She , put on a sweet smile as she greeted me. j and of course I smiled back. "Eainmis," she began, "I have sent for you to say that I am all alone —ali alone in this big world." "Yes'm." "Which is a sad thing for a young girl, you know. I like the frank, hoi - est look of your face, and I hear good reports of you, and 1 have sent for you to ask if you wouldn't be my little brother. I once had a brother about your age, and I thought the world of him, but he died in my arms. Shall we be brother and sister, Sammis?" I told her I was willing. I think that every elevator boy who has the inter est of his employer at heart is always willing to be a son or brother to any lonely hearted tenant. "You are so good!" she said as she kissed me on the ear and then stood off and tried to blush and look coy. "I shall call you Brother Samrnis, and you can call me Sister Eva, and we will both have more to live for. Broth er Satninis, do you think your sister a bad looking girlie?" "You are a dream!" I replied. "And how old would you say I was:' "About 20." "Ah. you young rogue, you must not flatter me. lam almost 23. And how's my walk, SammisV" She rose up au<l wriggled and tip toed back and forth and smiled and Simpered, and 1 told her It was the gait of a 16-year-old maiden. Slie kissed me on the other ear for that, and then she told me in sisterly confidence that if any one sent her bouquets or invited her out to lunch I mustn't say any thing about it. If any one asked her age, 1 was to put it at 23. and 1 was tc be very, very dis< reet ill case of little T'otes or theater tickets. Sister Eva aud I had a thorough understanding before I left, but I can't say tliat I was highly delighted to have found her. She didn't offer ine a cent extra to help pay off that mortgage on the widow's home, aud it seemed as if all the bene fits were to go her way. A week pass ed, and no one inquired her age, sent her bouquets or invited her to lunch. She sent for me to know the reason why, and I felt obliged to lie to her. It is no harm for a boy to lie to his sister 1 told her that Mr. Jumper, on the floor above, was casting sheep's eyes at her; that Mr. Johnson, on the floor below, had praised her walk; that the gentle man in room 48 said that her face had reminded liiin of a Grecian goddess, and the cotton buyer in r00m.54 was dying to ask her out to lunch. She kissed me on the forehead and patted my shoulder aud blushed, and the fam ily conference broke up in great good fet-ling. Now and then "Sister Eva" had a caller who wanted some work done. S»nt the days passed, and the bouquets didn't shower down. I kept lying to Iter In a brotherly way, as it seemed my duty to do, but there came a day when I saw that something must be done or there would be a family row. I bought her a big bouquet and wrote the name of Mr. Saunders on a card and banded it in to iter. Mr. Saunders was the gas engine man on the same floor. He was GO years old. as dignified as a knot on a log, and few men dared to speak to him. "Sister Eva" was de lighted. When I told her that an invi tation to lunch would speedily follow, she blushed and simpered and looked so coy and shy that I was really proud of her. I hoped to get out of It with the bouquet, but she kept asking me every day if Mr. Saunders had said anything snore, and I was finally driv en to say that he would call very soon nnd ask her to honor him with her com pany to lunch. I was wondering bow many more lies I would have to tell to get out of the scrape when a sudden climax came. At noon one day Mr. Saunders called at her room with some work he wanted done at once. She had her Sunday clothes ou. aud as he en tered she simpered and tiptoed around and put on her hat and said she felt so honored. He wasu't over two minutes destroying that poor girl's illusion. What he said or how he said It 1 don't know. I saw him go In, and, knowing that all was lost, I hid under the stairs. I heard him talking about light headed women and she answering back about fool beaded men, and three minutes later 1 was a discovered elevator boy. "Sister Eva" hauled me out of my hid ing place, and the way she did thump me around left me an almost helpless wreck. She hauled me Into her room by the hair of the head and said I was no brother. She boxed my bead from side to side and sajil the family had been disgraced She led me about by the ear and cast me out Into the cold world without a slater, and three hours later she had moved out of the room nnd disappeared. 1 hoped that was the end of It, but It wasn't. Next day Mr. Saunders called me up to his rooir. nnd, after giving me a shake which* loosened my teeth, he said: "Boy, you play another trick like that on me. nnd I won't have a whole l»»ne in your body!"

And in this again " the child is the father of the man." The man does not essay to walk through life on his hands but he creates for himself a king tdom of topsy-turvv dom. He turns night into day. He eats re gardless of time and physical necessities. He makes a pleasure of his business aud a business of his pleas ure. In fact, he ef fectually reverses the order of natural liv ing. The result is physical disability generally introduced by " weak " stomach.
