GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



August, 1919 



-The fleftiic automoliile witli a luad of potatoes ready to take to market. 



the vane of the mill that the electric wind- 

 mill is manufactured by the Wind Electric 

 Corporation, Wyndmere, N. D. This electric 

 outfit is intended for lighting farmhouses 

 and outbuildings. The outfit put up for my- 

 self at Bradentown, Fla., is the first one 

 where they have applied their invention to 

 the running of an automobile. I have esti- 

 mated roughly, that every hour of good wind 

 will give about a mile of travel. 



No. fi. — A single hill of dasheens growing just north 

 of one of the poultry-houses. 



This hill of dasheens is uot yet dug. I 

 feel sure there will be a bushel of tubers if 



not more. Since the dasheen is now grown 

 by the acre down in Florida, and shipped 

 north by the carload, I have not given as 

 much attention to it in my garden as when 

 the plant was first introduced. 



THE ST. REGIS RASPBERRY NOT SO BAD 

 AFTER ALL. 



On page 381 for June, 1918, I suggested 

 that, altho the St. Regis raspberry gave 

 beautiful fruit in only 80 days after put- 

 ting out the little plants, the berry was so 

 very prolific that it seemed to want the 

 «'hole garden, and did not seem to bear 

 \erv much unless considerable work was 

 done to keep it within bounds. I am glad 

 to say, however, that during this present 

 season we had beautiful berries just as 

 strawberries began to disappear; and we 

 have had then on our table now almost 

 daily for three or four weeks, and have 

 greatly enjoyed them and have found them 

 quite wholesome. These berries this yeai- 

 also came from a perfect swamp of bushes. 

 I ran the plow thru the middle of the patch 

 about a year ago and grubbed out the mid- 

 dle of the bed. This, very likely, contribut- 

 ed towards giving us the excellent crop 

 of this year, Avhen they are selling here, at 

 l)Oc a quart.
