P. Brisrht, H FARM BEES AND HOW BEES COLLECT POLLEN Important Part Played by the Auricle In the Process-Dust Gathers on Body Hairs. The pollen dust gathers on the body hairs of the bees as the result of the visita paid to the flowers. These hairs, as seen under the microscope, are branohed, and therefore are admirably adapted to hold the pollen, writes F. W. L. Sladen In the Gleanings in Beo Culture. In the bumble beo (and probably also the honey bee) the pollen dust In the hairs on the thorax ls collected on brushes on the Inner sides of the metatarsi, or basal joint of the foot, of the middle pair o? legs, which axe Fig. 1-Junction of tibia and meta tarsus In hind leg of worker hone) bee, outer side. Fig. 2-Diagrammatic section of th? same, showing^ mode cf conveying pol len. a, metatarsus; b, tibia; c, comb; d, receiver for pollen; e. auricle; f, fringe of hair on auricle. moistened with honey from the tongue to make the dust cohere. The pollen dust in the hair on the abdomen is col lected on brushes on the inner sides Df the metatarsi of the hind legs, and this is probably moistened by rubbing the hind legs together. After this the pollen is transferred to the corbicula (or pollen-basket) on the tibiae of the hind legs, where, as every one knows, it accumulates into a great lump as the result of repeated contributions from the metatarsi. But how does it get there? It is evident, as Cheshire observed, that the pollen on the right metatarsus is transferred to the,left corbicula, and the .ollen on the'left metatarsus is transferred to the right corbicula. Cheshire sup posed ("Bees and Beekeeping," 1886) that the metatarsus discharges ks pollen on the corbicula by scraping its brush on the upper side of the tibia; but I And that this is not the case. The pollen is scraped off the metatarsal brush by a comb (c) situated at the end of the tibia on the inside, and it passes into a small concave receiver (d) that joins the comb; then, when the leg is straightened, a projection on the metatarsus called the auricle (e) closes upon the receiver, compresses the pollen, and at the same time forces it out to the lower end of the corbicu la, which is here slightly depressed and almost wholly devoid of hairs. The compression of the pollen in tho receiver ls an essential part of the process; for loose pollen grains such as occur on the metatarsal brushes would not hold together in the corbic ula. In the bumble bee the anglo between the surface of the receiver and that of the corbicula is obtuse, and the compressed pollen easily passes from, the one to the other; but in tba honey bee there is a sharp angle at the corner, and the auricle bears a fringe of hair3 (f) to guide the stream of pollen to the corbicula; also the honey bee's auricle ls evidently pressed back by the pollen, for it has no other means of escape. POST PULLER SAVES LABOR Implement Can Be Made of Strong Tongue Taken From Some Dis carded Farm Machine. When a fence must he moved a good post puller saves an unmerciful lot of back ache and time, writes Gilbert F. Parrish in the Wisconsin Agricul turist. Such a lifter can be made of a strong tongue from some discarded : farm machine. A strap of five-eighths iron is made into a heavy claw at one end and bolted on the tongue so that the claw projects beyond the end of the tongue. A heavy ring with a stout chain attached ls also a part of the outfit The ring is put over the post down to tho ground. The claws are caught under a link of the chain and a block put under the pole as a J fulcrum. This leverage will raise the peat with very little effort Every . farm ought to have such a lifter. Tho . parts should bo solid and strong, for the strain ls tremendous. A Post Puller. fl Flagged Train With Shirt Tearing his shirt from his back an Ohio man flagged a train and saved it from a wreck, but H T Alfton, Raleigh, N. C., once pre vented a wreck with Electric Bit ters. "I was in a terrible plight when I began to use them," he writes, "ray stomaoh, head, back and kidneys were all badly affected and my liver was in bad condition, but four bottles of Electric Bitters made me feeWlike a new man." A trial will convince you of their matchless merit for any stomach, liver or kidney trouble. Price 5Uc at Penn & Holstein's, W E Lynch & Co.
