. Economy of the Honey Bee. . ‘. | Contiuued fromlastweek.] ~ Huber, who is well known to have - been onerof the ablest apiarians of his _day, made some ‘splendid discoveries .in the physiology of the_ honey bee. ‘He saw ‘the need of some method of “muitiplying colonies which would be “more reliable thanTthat of natural swarming, and to supply this want he - constructed a hive containing twelve - frames, divided in/the center and con‘nected by-hinges, so that the hive - could be opened or shut ‘ut 'pleasure.’ He earnestly recommended artificial swarming, by dividing the hive and " giving to each half six empty frames. But, like’ many new inventions; this miethod proved a failure. The Rev. ~L;L. Langstroth adopted this plan, “but subsequépdy\declargd it to be: impractical and d_isastxloﬂs in its most essential object. Dividing hives has ' been and is being practiced by many _would-be apiarians in this country‘,i‘i " and while the principle seems to pos--55658’ veiy. many of’ the elewments of | _succgss,yet after practical experiments ‘in dividing hives it has proven to be worthless for the purpose of artificial s“jafg;iqg. " For, indeed, it is one of the-natural laws of the hive that. when the bees havé né queen they,’ build no cells. except such as ave designédfor storing honey. It may. “seem strange to some that bees should always build store comb .in the absence of a fertile fqueenl ~But -we _ should bear in thind that at such time. bees are,in an abnormal or unnatural ‘ “ndition, and in such a state seldom swarm uiitil the hive is full of comb. j ~The above method of artificial swarminf has led to the practice of dividing, stocks -equally, Uy giving each half ~four:or five frames. , This, of c-uurs‘e,"” ‘would ¢ause the same Dad results as . the dividing hive., - . 7 ok © Now, I venture 'to say that the .aboye :zetliodrof artificial S\i';u'ming,l _if: adhefed to for “a few' years, 'willl prove disastrous, and therefore should " be abandoned—the sooner the bettel‘:‘| - Then, the novice will ask, what rnoli}é; ‘of artificial swarming would be ad: ‘yisable, if the practice of equal division be so disastrous? - Well, for the benefit of my readers I will'now give “one or two modes that cannot fail t¢- - prove successful, unless it should be carried so far as'to weaken the stocks ‘too much. Now, if increase is your .object (and this is t6o apt to be the ] case in: these days of fast America) ‘ ~and you have say eight strong stocks with plenty of brodd,. select some pleasant day when many of the bees are'in the field. Take: one comb of Lréod from®ach of your seven stocks, brush off the adhering bees in front of the hive, and place tiiese Tombs ~containing brood in a new hive and close it up carefully. Then remove * your eighth stock to some otherlocality and place your new hive wliere-the eighth stood, when the bees that are out in the field belonging to the eighth hive will return to the new stock and ~take full possession.

Horticultural Society, is? authority for the statement that the - remedy for pear-blight recommended ~.by the Commissioner of Agriculture’ ‘has proved successfal in Eastern \'irw ginia. The remedy is anade gnd ap-. plied as follows: ' Take one pwuzi'dmfj sulphur te six or eight pounds of cat- | _ bolate of lime; reduce to the consist‘ency of thick whitewash and apply to -the diseased parts, and.where the bark is diseased remove the outer portion before' making the application“-Mr. L. says he has used this with magical effect.on blighted or diseased trees, but writes to the Americani Farmer that_ixkgf‘utqreb he will use the.formula recommendéd by the Hon. Wm: Saunders.xp%washington; who has charge of the 1 pblig grounds, as'being more economical than the above, on acecount | of the volatile nature of ¢arbolic acid: To half'a bushel.of lime add 4 pounds of 'Su-lpﬁgr—,slake to the consistency - of whitewash, and when applied add Iralf anounce of carbolic acid to each galloifgE wash, and apply as above di- - reeted.

. ¢ POULTRY IN THE ORCHARD.—Some farmers make it a practice to keep -, -their poultry in their orchards fron . . ‘early spring until cold weather sets in, -4 and they find that it pays them for so .-+ doing. A picket fence should be built: "=@rpund the orchard, high enough to ; iﬁlgﬂi:é,vént-tlr.efr flying over, with a spit- ! . able house or shed: in one corner of .. tiie yard to shelter .them at might. *+ “Thus situated, the poultry will.thrive ¢-* and: prosper, keeping.themselves. in * _good condition, and the increase in '/ eggs will be greatly angmented and < -their usefulness and value enhanced, ¢+ to their owners at least, on account of % “the thousand myriads of insects and %+ wopms which they destroy, and which . will more than repay the cost and Ja- <« bor of building the fence. By keep- + ing them enclosed in- this ‘manner a . large number of fowls may be retain- . edin an orchard: and the continual | scratching wjich is'done by them will L prove advantageous both'to the soil . 4 and trees themselves.—Massachusetts .

TUrRNPS WITH CORN.—An exchange -y tells of afarmer who is in the habit '»3 of sowing yellow Aberdeen turnips ' " among his corn at the last passage of . the cultivalor when the corn is about sfive feet: in “height.

: The Dloomer (ostume. - Mis. Amelia Bloomer several years ago made an effort to inaugurate a fe‘male dress reform. She set the exam“ple and put=on the proposed pattern, -which was a braye thing to do with all the world looking on. - The idea was to make woman’ physically. footlouse, typical of ‘the desired mental and moral and political -enfranchisement. ; This costume did not take. It would not become the.fashion. It was a flat failure. Muys. Amelia Bloomer tore off her trowsers, .ascended‘to the heaven of private life, and. her solitary mantle fell upon Dr. Mary \Walker. Mzs. Bloomer excited public comment no more. But if she had. failed as a reformer, she at least added a word to the Lnglish language; not a bad-thing to do—as a memorial of her public life. Worcester, in his big dictionary, defines “Bloomer,a woman’s dress, consisting of short skirts and loose trowsers; a woman who wearthis dress.” Mis. Bloowmer is not heard O‘Rz\my‘mbre, ‘and very few people know where she is. D. C. Bloomer and his wife live in Council Bluffs, Towa. He is‘a lawyer of twenty-five years practice, and ' a politician with aspirations. - They-are rich and childless, their only. posterity being the word they have given to their language. . ‘Mrs. Elizabeth ‘Cady.

¥We All Have our Sata'n‘s:, . -Each of us have a different:'Satan. Satan conres to man in ‘the form of idleness, and makes him. waste day after day. year -after year, until he has wasted” his whole Jife doing nothing. Satan comes to another man as work, and mal’ies him destroy himself in. the opposite way by wearing out. prematiirely his-brain and vbo,(_ly% _ He comes to another as Christian zeal, and the man_becomes a bigot; full of fire for the Lord; but the Lord he serves is a God of wrath, a God who cares for trifles, a God - who prefers to sacrifice to mercy. lle comes to another.as charity which tolerates evil and lets it alone, which ‘has noedge to it, no courage; an indolent charity; which is not love av all, but only easy good nature. So he disguises himself asan angel of light, calling himself, patriotism when he wishes to‘mdke ‘nations hate each other; calling himself Christianity when he wishes to make men - persecute - each’ other; .calling himself honesty when he wishes to encourage a man 1n his rude-and overbearing ‘ways; -and so on, changing himself into every wvirtue and every grace. o R i e = 7, ) Mormon KFamily Problems. : _«JIf the third-of-a-husband talks to one 'wife, then he is under obligation ‘to talk to another just as much; or if all talk together, the wives are liable to differ and bring in the husband: as umpire, and it is much safer not to talk at all.

THE French utilize chicken feathers in the following way, which is pronounced a decided™improvement on the old method: - The plume portions of the feathers are cut from the stem by means of ordinary Mand Scissors; These are placed .in quantities in a coarse bag, which, when full, is ¢losed and subjected to a thorough kneading with .the hands.. At the end of five minutes the feathers disaggregated are felted together, forming a down perfectly homogeneous and, of great lightness. Itissaid to'be lighter than natural eider down, because the latter contains the ribs of the feathers, which give extra weight. About one and six-tenths troy ounces can be obtained from one pullet, and it sells in Paris for about two dollars a pound.

It is the era for new motors. - Keely has two rivals in the field already, one ¢f whom proposes to. furnish a marvelous power from condensed air, and . the other-does not divulge his secret. Ile proposes, however, to produce a pressure of 10,000 pounds- to the square-inch by the employment of air and water alone. A ’'great many of>~the most important - diseoveries have been. made simultaneously by several inventors. * In fact.there is no invention of gny importance which has not had. rival claimants’ for ‘the honor of making it. There is, then, a fair probability that some motor has been discovered more powerful than steam, and it is quite possible that the principle underlying this invention has been discovered simultaneously, or nearly so, by several ‘investigators.

Prof, Marsh, who sometime since visited .

“v Giirl Babies and Matrimony.’ An unsophisticated magazine writer says: “When a young girl reaches the age of fifteen or sixteen years, she begins to think of the mysterious subject of matrimony, a state the delights of which her youthful imagination shadows' forth in the maost captivating forms.” If this writer were to sit down on the curbstone and listen, just after school is dismissed, he. would not only hear &?s less than nine years of age talking about marriage, but would actually hear them discussing the day of the week most auspicious for putting their absurd little heads into the yoke. There. never was a time in the history of the world when well-conducted convents were 80 necessary as now, and a very large proportion of all the female babies should be put into them three weeks after birth.—lndignapolis Herald.

During the early part of the late war, in the year 1861, shortly after our army moved from Washington, out beyond Arlington, Gen. Levi-S. Chatfield, of New York, went over to visit some Ohio regiments, when the following incident of the movement was related to him: As they went along on their way over, some of the soldiers stepped out of the ranks and “confiscated” a couple of geese, and at the suggestion 6f an ingenious fellow and a natural “bummer,” one: of tlie drummers unheaded his instrument: and put the captured birds in. Shortly afterward the Colonel came along, and noticing that the boy shirked his usual drum whacks, rode up to him and said: - “Why don'’t you beat that drum ?”. “Colonel,” said the startled musician, “I want to speak to you.” The Colonel -drew closer to him, and bending down his head, said, “Well; what have you to say?” The drummer whispered, “Colonel, I've got a couple of geese.in here!” The Colonel straightened up and gravely said, “Well, if you're sick and can’t play, you needn’t,” and then rode on; It is needless to say that the Colonel had roast goose that night. ol

{ A Nice Little Story. = = A young grocer in New Jersey became deeply in love with a school ma’am and ‘was honored with an apparently warm reciprocation. - But he heard that she was boasting how. she would live on his money after she had married. him. The young man consulted a friend who adyvised him to pretend that-he had lent his money on insufficient security and was ruined.— He followed the advice, the lady was cold and finally jilted him. ' She afterwards learned that it was only a little game to find whether she loved him, and now her ma is trying to reconcile the pair. The grocer won't reconcile, though." : ; i- B [ Yankee Robinson’s Circus “busted” in St. Paul, Mian., the other day. The proprietors claim that they have been losing money all the season, only four places were the receipts more than the expenses. i i =
