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.

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!"

That's a favorite attitude of the small

not essay to walk through life on his
hands but he creates for himself a king

into day. He eats re
gardless of time and

He makes a pleasure
of his business aud a
