Young men are in general, but little

they keep. The character of their associ-

Easq method Of hiving Bees.-Nr.
Moses WnsIow,. of Westbrook, has des-
scrbed to us his method of hiving bees
WHICH he has practiced with complete sue.
cess for fifteen years, and has never known
his bees 20 pitch on any other place usah
that prepared forthem.
D,;v,. down two sakes, about four feet
apar., fifteen feet in front of the bee house;
;e pole across these stakes about three
feet fronfthe ground then take board
. about one foot WIDE and twenty feet long
and bay one end on tue ground at the front
aofths bee house and lay the, other end on
the pole between the stakes. Put up this
board its the beginning ofthe season. The
6ess vii piseh son the under part of this
! board, and that end which lays on The
erosaa salloessal Be raised 70 a level with the
ether end on barrcb box or something
else. Then turn the bo I'd upside down
and place the hive over the bees and fasten
irwin props 10 prevent the wind from blow
ing i, down. By having board not more
than foot wide, The hive will extend out
over the board and the less likely to kill the
bees when it is placed over them, and it
will leave room for the bees that may be
outside of the hive to pass into it. MT.
Wnslow observed that he has sometimes
fonnd three swans at once pictched on
one board in different places. When he
frs. puts up the board he usually rubs it with
some honey or salt water, herbs or the like,
but this may not be necessa y.
We think that this method of hiviDg beos
is a great improvement, as it saves time
and trouble. and danger Of being stuug. and
injury Of trees frequently occasionei by cut
Ing them in hiving bees. Another great
advantage, the timorous can be S we'd the
misery of being frightened half to death lest
they should be stuug while on ladder or
tree without the privilege Of running from
