GRATING WAX.

We would advise our farming friends
to prepare, in the course of this month,
when stormy days prevent work abroad,
quantity Of grating wax; as it is some
times inconvenient to allow time when
wanted, and the husbandry of time is one
Of the secrets ofsuccess in farming. The
following proportions of the usual materi-
ais have been recommended as good, viz:
twoand a half pounds otrosin. one pound
ofbees-wax, Some pound oftallow; or one
pound rosin, three pounds bees-wax, and
two pounds tallow: but the reel pc we use,
and which we know to be good, is as fol-
lows,-half pound Of tallow, one pound
ofbees-wax, and two pounds Of rosin,-
the whole melted together, and then WORK
ed In water like shoemaker's wax, into rolls
for use. Where the grating is to be per,
formed in the nursery, or on small trees OF
branches, the most convenient mode Of ap-
plying the wax is by having it on strips oil
muslin of a width proportioned to the size
Of the tree, from one to three inches
These strips of muslin are prepared, by
taking cotton cloth, cutting it into strips
and dipping them into the wax when mel.

best to apply the wax directly TO the cut

rubbish which gathers near the edges on
the bo,touo of the hive AL that can be
done to destroy these eggs is, to turn, the
hive M and brush it out every day with
wing, or little broom brush; and the best
way which have discovered to destroy
the miller, is to take vinegar and water,
about half and half and sweeten it with
uoIasses--then pour it into small bowls or
-tea.saucers, and in the dusk ot'the evening
place them around and on the top of the
hives. II is not unusual to find number
ofthe millers drowned in the liquid the
next morning, when these vessels must be
taken away or covered up to prevent the
bees from being drowned also, g. this must
berepeted so long as the millers are seen
about the hives. Another way to destroy
these millers is 10 examine the outside of
the hives every morning, for they general
ly rest there through the day, and may be
killed without much trouble. The eggs of
the miller being deposited in the hive as
above mention ed, the warmth created by
the bees will soon hatch them, when a
worm or maggot is produced They are
at first very small, and begin their opera
tions upon the comb. When full grown
they are an inch long, and of the size Of
the little end of pipe stale. The comb
and not the honey seems to be the food Of
these worms, and they often eat off the
comb where it joins on to the top Of the
hive, so that the whole body of the comb
| falls down into heap. When this is the
case the bees are discouraged, and beco me
inactive, and by this operation of the
worms are wholly destroyed. To save
the bees from being overcome in this way
have found the following to be the bes
mode: Take the sticks of the common
white elder, as large as mans finger, Gu
them one foot in length, scrape off the
bark, split them from end to end as nearly
as may be of equal parts, shove the pitt
out, notch them upon the edges, & slide then
under the hive. say four to each hive, with
the convex side of the stick upwards
When the bees contend with the worms
and drive them down from the comb, the,
will escape from the bees and hide them
selves under the elder-stick, which beins
drawn out in the morning will often con
tain dozen worms This seems to en-
courage the bees; at any rate it tends t.
keep the hive clean, and takes from it tn
web Of the worm, which is very annoying
to the bees, and generally is found as
shield to the worm With close attention
to my bees in the modes above pointed GU
l have saved every swarm for severa
years past. The hives should be place
on four blocks one inch square, and 1
least half an inch thick
In my next number l will show ho
FIVE swarms out of six may be draw

PROSPECTUS OF The


ITO all who note the signs of the times,
i it must be obvious that the character
and consequences of American slavery,
the plans proposed for its removal, and the
influence of those plans on the union and
prosperity of the nation, are to become
topics Of general and absorbing interest.
1t is natural and proper that the citizens
of free country should carefully investi-
gate the nature of an institution necessa-
riIy affecting the moral and political well
fare Of themselves and their posterity, and
should anxiously inquire what conduct
respecting it is required by duty and pru-
dence. Discussion has been excited and
will not and cannot be suppressed In
the social circle, and in the crowded as
sembIy, in the pulpit, and in the legisla-
tive hall, slavery is the theme of frequent
and earnest inquiry; and the press is
pouring forth Its multitudinous publca-
tons on the same momentous topic.
The subscriber fatters himself that by
collecting in cheap but neat form, the
most valuable and instructive works re-
lating to the great subject that is now ag-
itating the whole country, he will not on
ly crafty the prevailing thirst for inform
alton, but also promote the cause oftruth
and justice.
The Cabinet will comprise both origin
al and selected articles, embracing, among
othertopics, the history ofthe legalabolition
of the African slavc-trade-the history
and consequences of emancipation in the
British West India IsIands-the past and
present state of St Domingo-dlscussions
on the lawfulness Of slavery-the actual
condition of the slaves in the United
States, and an examination of the various
modes of emancipating them which have
been recommended.
The selections will from time 10 time
be made by gentlemen whose names will
be given to the public. and who will be re-
sponsible for the general character of the
articles, but not for all the opinions anc
assertions they may contain.
AS the Cabinet of Freedom will be de-
voted to subjects connected with slavery
its name may be thought singularly ina p
propriate to its contents The incongrui
ty, however, is only apparent, since the
subscriber trusts that the Cabinet will ex.
ert an influence favorable to the cause O.
immediate and universal emancipation.
The Cabinet will appear regularly eve
ry two weeks, commencing in March
1886. Each number will contain as pa
ges duodecimo, and will be sold in mum
bcrs, if required, at 6 IA cents, eNcep
when illustrated with engravings, tn

according to the expense of the engrav

up theological excitement, hitherto un-
paralleled in the city of New \ ork, COM
menced Nov. llth, 1885, and terminated
Feb. 18th, 1886. The substance Of the
arguments both of DR. Sleigh and his oppo

down on the spot, and has been carefully
revised, so that this publication will con-
tain the arguments and objections of both
parties. Moreover, DR. Sleigh will add
copious critical, historical, and explanatory
notes, and also numerous incontrovertible
arguments in favor of Divine Revelation,
