THE PAsTURAGE OF BEEs.-Next
to the situation Of the beehive IS the
consideration OF the bees pasiurage.
When there ispenly oflhe white Dutch
called boney-suckle
it is sure to be good honey year.
The red clover is too deep for the pro-
boscis OF The common bee, and is, there
fore, not so useful 10 them as is gencr-
ally supposed. Many lists have been
made of bce-howers and Of such as
should be planted round the apiary.
Mignionette and borage, and rosemary,
and burgloss, and lavender, the crocuS
for the early spring, and the ivy flow
ers for the late autumn, might help 10
furnish very pretty bee garden; and
the lime and the liquid amber, the
horse chestnut and the sallow, wolld be
the best trees to plant around.
DIR. Bevan makes very good sug-
gestion, that lcmon-thymc should be
used as an edging for garden walks and
flower beds, instead Of box, thrift, or
DAISIES. That any materiai goou now
ever, can be done TO a large colony by
the few plants that, under the most
favorable circumstances, can be sown
around bee-house is Of course, out Of
the question. The bee is too much Of
a romer 10 take pleasure in trim gar
dens.
1t is the wild tracts OF heath and
furze, the broad acres Of bean fields
and buckwheai, the lime avenues, the
hedgerow flowers, and the clover mead
ows that Furnish his haunts and ill his
cell. Sill j; may be useful for the
young and weak bees TO have food as
near az possible to their home; and TO
those who wish TO watch their habits,
Flat Of bee flowers is indispensable.

INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION
learn by the Cincinnati Commercial!
that an association Of about one hun
dred and fifty persons have located
themselves on the Ohio river, in Cter-
mont county, So miles above the city
of Cincinnati, with view TO carry
out the doctrine, of Association. as adj
vocated by Fourier, and his disciples

land which they have purchased, con-
sists Of $40 acres, about 800 acres of
which have been cleared and placed in
a condition for immediate cultivation.
Many houses are already in the course
of erection, and il is contemplated TO
produce sufficient OF agricultural pro-

tain the settlement over winter. The
tract Of land on which they have set
tied, cost $4,000, and il Is believed
that the timber alone which may be
cut from il will be worth that sum.

sequence Of the negro plot. Arrests

in fomeniing the recent negro con-
spiracy, TO murder all the whites. A

CENTRE OF POPULATION OF THE

CENTRE OF POPULATION OF THE
u. Sat injecting Of The National
Institute recently, DR.. Peterson, Dr.
rector Of The U. S. Mint at PhiIadel-
phia, presented The meeting with some
very interesting remarks on the best
mode of asceriaiuing The centre Of pop
ula,ion of . County or State, and also
that of the whole Union. According
to the plan adopted by Dir. P. it would
appear tha, the centre of population Of
the United States has heen regularly
travelling Wesfyard since the Gate OF
the first deceunial census. In 1870
the centre at representative population
was As miles North, and % miles East,
of Washington; in 1900, So miles n,
and 9m. f: in 1900, Gam. n, and SON.
W.: in 1890, Am. n and Tin. w.
in 1890, 43n. n, and SIM. w; and
in 1910, 36m. n. and l6o m. w. The
centre Of the tcholc population, (repre-
sentative and all inc.ude1,) in 1910
was 9 miles North and IT'S miles
West Of Washington. From this j,
will be seen that the centre of popua-
ton Of the United States has travelled
westward in fifty years zoo miles, and
of that distance more than one hall
within the 90 years previous to 1870
Its present centre is in Harrison coun-
~, Virginia, SO miiesc South of The
Pennsylvania line, and S miles due
South Of Clarksburg. On direct line
from Washington City, III miles.

great advance since then both IN Eu-
rope and this country. France in 1871,
produced of the grains, SAT, 55o,443
bushels, and The United States, $685.
9ss,s7o bushels. The population Of
France was then more than thir,y.one
millions, and the United States over
seventeen millions. Thus the proper
ton Of grain in the United States 10
person, compared with France, was
nearly two 10 one. Similar COMPARE
sons with other countries would be
greatly in favor OF our own, showing
that our surplus is the greatest.

How TO KEEP BUTTER FRESH AND
SWEET FOR YEARS Among the mass
OF information furnished by the repor,
Of the commissioner of patents, which
is highly interesting TO farmers, is an
account Of process, hitherto secret,
By which the butter may be kept for
years, fresh and sweet, in any climate.
Most kinds Of wood contain consider
able quantities Of pyroligcneous acid,
which decomposcs salt in butter kept
in such tubs. The linden, or bass
wood, is the only one which, il appears
by careful experiment, is free from il;
others. j, is stated, may be freed from
il. and thus rendered suitable. by boil
ing three or four hours, well pressed
under water. Good butter is 10 be
well churned, and worked and packed
hard and tight in kegs of seasoned
white oak; The head is then put in,
leaving small hole into which brine
is pored TO fill the vacant space; and OF
50 much importance il is deemed, TO
prevent any bad taste, that the pings
fur the hole must not be made OF cedar
or pine. but Of cypress or bass wood, as
otherwise il would be injured. After
which, these kegs are placed in o hogs
head, wei. filed with brine of fall sou
'tion, that will bear an egg, whichis then
headed up light and close. This is the
mode pursued in Grange county, n. Y.
and the butter viii keep at sea and in
warm climates, and commands very
high price. The appendix TO the re-
port contains letter addressed to MIR.
