It gathers honey from the many fragrant flowers of spring and summer, and stores away in its house called a beehive a good shnre of its collection for winter use, but man often robs them of their collection for his own use, and if it is not too late in the warm season they go to work again and refill their hive. Worms, too, often destroy their supply of food for winter and then the busy insects die ol starvation, man and worms l>eing their worst enemies. Bt N58 assembled in great numbers having a king and queen is called a swarm.- Bees that will not work are called drones, and the industrious ones sting these to death and carry them from their midst. A bee farm is called an apiary and the man who?. keeps this is called an apiarist. It is interesting to hear the keepers toll about bees. Carrie J. Gallman. Hocky Creek school, April 14. the rainbow. The rainbow is usually seen in the east during a thunder storm or just after the rain is over. It is caused by the sun shining on a brook or creek which throws the bright colors on a cloud. The seven bright colors composing the rainl)ow arc as follows: Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. These arc called the primary colors. If we take the first letter of each of the above seven words and put them ^;ether they spell the following word: v-i-b, vib, g-y, gy, o-r, or, "vibgyor."

Jonesvillc, April 17th.?The freeze this morning was destructive to vegetation. There were many nice bean patches that were killed potatoes also suffered badly, peas and other garden truck came off better, while fruit is not much damaged.

Cheraw, April 8:?Special: The facta C below will give the readers of the News and Courier an idea of what fai mere > raise in this section. \ At a dinner a few weeks ago at the ( home of Mr. and Mrs Francis P. B. Pegu?s, in Northern Marlboro, notice was taken by a guest that nothing hut s.ilt - had been bought, all else having been ? raised on their own farm. ( The dinner consisted of tomato soup, turkey, chicken, beef, ham, chicken salad, rice, beans, Irish and sweet potatoes, peaa, corn, pickles, vinegar (home made), celery, molasses, pre> serves, tomatoes, tea, nuts, fruit, nut cake, pig foot jelly, bread and biscuits. The tea and sugar were both home made and in fact all the above?with the exception of salt?was home made. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Pegucs is alway open to their friends and relatives and many enjoy their hospitality. J. H. G. The above was clipped from the : Charleston News and Courier. The j farmers all over this State can do the j same thing thin farmer did, with a few I exceptions. Until the farmers produce everything consumed on their farms reducing cotton acreage will do them but little good so far as making and saving monev goes. There is not a fanner in Union county who can not raise nearly everything that he noeds for bis table and stock, and have sonicthing to sell every month in the year. And not until they do this will thoy be independent. forage Plants for Sesert Lands Luther Bur bunk, who is called the botanical wizard, l>ccause of his development of stoncless plums and other fruit freaks, has just produced , after ten years' work, a spineless cactus, which is half nK nnlrilmia as alfalfa, and will yield more forage ? to the acre. By a series of crossings and recrossings ?j>f different varieties from ( different parts of the world, Mr. Burbank is aiming to make the 1 plant hardier and to produce more fruit and leaves, He has at his Santa Rosa experimental grounds specimens of a cactus which he has robl)cd of thorns, having brought tnc leaves to a state of perfection in which a man can rub a leaf across ; his face. The surface is found soft { as silk. The creation of a spineless cactus 1 is of world-wide importance. The : plant will grow luxuriously on the 1 driest desert. In this and other countries its leaves and fruit are food for man and beast, and it will ' mean to SQinc regions more than the introduction of the potato meant 1 to Europe.?Sel. Beautiful Answers. i A Persian pupil of the Abbe i Sieord gave the following extraordinary answers: What is gratitude?" "Gratitude is the memory of the heart." "What is hope?" "Hope is the blossom of happi, ness." "What is the difference between hope and desire?" 'Desire is a tree in leaf; hope is a tree in flower; and enjoyment is | a tree in fruit." ''What is eternity?'' "A day without yesterday or tomorrow ; a line that has no end.'' "What is time?" "A line that has two ends; a path which begins in the cradle and ends in the tomb."
