The precise distance that bees will fly in
eeach of forage I ant unable to state.
Some consider three miles to be theeexes
trenae-limitrhile-oth-e-resplace it as high
as twelve miles. The most Satisfactory
results may be expected if abundant stores
can be found within two miles. It is evie,
dent that they work more freely upon the
blossoms at some little distance than whea
these are very near the apiary. If I were
to sow a,nything with a view to a supply of
honey I should prefer that it should not
be in the immediate vicinity of the hives.•
Their flights are evidently modified by
local conditions. - During the large yield
from basswood in 1874, as the blos-
soms failed iu the valley, the bees con-
tinued bringing in the same quantity,
of honey, following the basswood day
by day, as it opened on the hills until
the first week in August, :when they
still came in henvily loaded, but very tired
from a long flight. I drove to the heights,
six milendiatant, and found that basswood
was there just coining into bloom. I imme:
diately moved 48 swarms to this location,
an d_in-the_f ollowin geese ek_thes e_48eraoloni
gave me one ton of surplus honey, while the
71 swarms left at home did not secure one
half the amount, yet they continued work-
ing upon the same ground during the same
period. This is a fine illustration of the
advantages of obtaining forage within a
reasonably short distance. I have never
had direct proof of the effect, yet there is
ground for the belief that if honey could
not be found nearer, bees would not iv
the distance named without being gradually
led along by newly opening blossoms, as in
case mentioned.-Quiniby's New Bee•.lieepr.

Row Best to rut Down the Peet.
Mr. Wm. Saundere, President of the,
Fruit Growers' Association of Ootario; in
his Opening address at the recent meetteg
in Leaden, thus alludes , to the repressive
measures, suggested by practical experience
to he adopted against that pest of the
wheat crop known as the H'essian fly:
Vaiioue measures ', have been recom-
mended for the destruction of this ineect.
Some have advised the immediate thresh-
ing rat the' *heat and the burning of the
etre*, but since most of the ineectssare
left in the stubble this would be labor lost.
Tearing up the stubble with a cultivator
immediately after harvest, and raking it
into heaps and burning it, is another Bug-
gestion, but this involves such labor at a
time when the farmer is extremely basY,
and duringthesprohess many of the insects
would necesearily be shaken out of the
stalks and eseape. Burning the stubble in
field where practicable is a much wiser
course. but it must be borne in niind that
this process involves the destruction of the
friendly parasites which feed upon till)
enemy, as well as the enemy itself. In my
address to you two years ago, I "expressed
the opinion that we were almost wholly
indebted for stegheirumunity_as-we-enjoy-
--from,destructive insects to the insect pars -
sites which destroy them; subsequeutly•
experience has confirmed this view, and -
any measure which involves the destruction
of those useful friends should be
adopted with caution.I am happy
to- state that .frona sPecimeas reared
within the , past few days I
find that a large proportion of the Hessian
fly is" being destroyed by:parasites this
season. Late sowing has been much
recommended, and the results seem to
prove that on the- whole this fa the- most
practical _remedy -to defer sowing until
about the 20th of Sept„ by which time
most of the flies will have "disappeared ;
late sowing, however, has the disadvantage
that the plants not being so well established
are not so well fitted to withetand the
severe weather of the winter. High culture
is advantageous, as the luxuriant growth
which the young wheat .makee snider such
cireuinstances will enable it better to
withstand the weakening effects of the
grubs. Among other naeaseree recom-
mended a,re pasturing the wheat fields with
sheep,' and the application of lime to the
young wheat th kill the larva).

Ant,. Next to Igen.
Sir John Lubbock believes .that ants
deserve to rank next to men in the scale of
intelligence. It is rather astonishing to be
told that the characters of "these insects'
differ from each other as much as do those
of human creatures. There are timid ants
and ants audacious, ants of original ideas
and ants which follow the crowd, brilliant
ants, generous ants, bra.ve. ante, ecovear_dly
ants, thievish ants, greedy ants, phlegina-
tie ants and industrious ants. Moreover,
there are cruel ante andante whickpossess
sympathetic and feeling hearts. Sir John
immersed a number of ants in water and,
when they were to all appearance drowned,
he put them near -the nest in a place where
their former companioe§ were censtantly_.

by and took no notice till, after a while,
another ant came, picked up the inatnersed
one and carried her off to the nest. This
experiment was repeated again and again,
until the observer arrived at the conclusion
that there are priests, Levites abd good
Samaritans amongst ants as well as
amongst men.

ONTARIO tietois "REPORT.
Information the Bureau of Statistics

The September report of the Ontario
Bureau of ludustries shows that through-
out Western Ontario the harvest season
was an unusually long and. tedioue one.
The east fared somewhat better. The crops
throughout are net so good eel those of pre-
ceding years. Generally speaking, the fruit
crop Of the year is a f eilure---apples decidedly
so, owing to the -,blight " referred to in
previous reports. -The trees, though show -
nag some signs of recovety, have still an
unhealthy appearance, tub, leaves being
dark in color and shrivelled rip as if -they
had been touched by fire. The
fruit is small, diseased and-- e worm-
eaten, ,except in the case of a few
hardy varieties, notably the russet. The,
only part of the Province reported free
Irene the "blight" 8) the St. Lawrence and
Ottawa counties, _where there will be an
average crop though the fruit is small in
size. Peas are a fair crop", except in the
Georgian Bay counties, where they are
reported to be a worse failure than the
apples. Plums are -considerably- below
an average yield, owing mainly to the
ravages of the ourculio, and in a small
degree to the effects of black -knot. Peaches
where grown at all are scarce and prices
high. Grapes are a faircrop. ,
Roots are fairly good ine all sections of
the Province, excepting the counties of
Grey and Sinaooe, on Georgian Bay, and.
Eltildimand and Welland, on Like Erie.
The local droughts of June and July in
those counties were very unfavorable to
potatoes, carrots and mangolds, and the fly
hes been 'a troublesome enemy to turnips.
But the rains of August have greatly im-
proved the general prospect, and farmers
are hopeful. There are many complaints,
however, that potatoes are affected by rot,
but so far PG serious damage has been done.
It was, doubtless, due to the heavy rains.
A large breadth of fall wheat will be
sown this year, but, owing tothe-prolonged
harvest season, seeding will be fully two
weeks later than usual. The rains, too,
interfered with the cultivating and harrow-
ing so necessary to keep falloevs in good
condition for the reception of the seed. ,

Ditty of the Locomotive Engineer.
A railway man predicts' --that-before-
many years every locomotive drawing a
passenger train on a busy railroad will have
a pilot whose sole business will be to watch
the signaler, switches, bridges, crossings.
and soon, while the care and control of
the engine will be the exclusive work of
the engineer.- At present, he says, the
engineer may be trying his water gauge of
doing any one of half a hundred necessary
things when he taught to be looking at a
signal. When trains were fewer and the
-
speed lees, an engineer was all that was
needed '• as the speed is increased and the
demandS upon the engineer's attention are
multiplied, babas more than he can do. He
must be relieved by a new, man, in front of
or over the engine, who will have nothing
to do with the engine; but will watch the
road and -direct the engineer, as- the pilot
ofa steamer does, by a System of eignals.

Lucy Hooper Writes thus of Mrs. Lang-
try : "She has a fine brow and eyes, a
camelia-leaf skin and a beautiful figure, but
the lower part of her face is too large and
heavy and the enaooth, dead whiteness „of
her complexion le hardly a' telling' reality
on the stage." ,
- Herbert Spencer in a recent conversation
said that Oscar Wilde is an "outlandish
person, who attempted to reconoile idiocy
with art, and namby-panabyisna with senti-
ment." •
The Englishman who resembles Artonaus
Ward in person and 'speech, and has been
delivering the dead humorist's lecture on
Mormons, with the original panorania, is
