To Bee CuIturists and Others.

K ELSEY'S Alternating Bee Hive, patented HA May 9th, 1S46. These Hives, the only ones of real value and utility to farmers and oth- CTS engaged in the culture of Bees now before the public, are constructed upon natural princi pIes, and combine the following advantages.
 The bees are easily hived in them; it never becomes necessary to kill off the swarms, and honey can at all times be taken away without disturbing the bees; the swarms are entirely pro- tected from robbery by neighboring bees, and from mice and insects; they can be handled with perfect safety, and always living and breeding in new honey combs, are kept entirely healthy, and young swarms are always fully developed; the eggs or embryo of the bee>moth or miller, cannot hatch or mature around these hives, therefore the bees are entirely protected from the ravages of that destructive enemy, while the alternating principle is such that the bees are kept industrious the whole season though, by always having plenty of room to work in; old honey-comb cannotaccumulate, nor will the bees s'run out or "die off, in these hives. They have been fully tested by actual use by upwards of five thousand extensive bee cultur ists.
 This patent gained diploma from the Mary land State Agricultural Society, held at Balti- IlOIe IOlI, l LII dHu NlI Oi OCtODtI, lO1J'
 Ample directions accompany each hive, giv ing full instructions for the management of bees. They are sold very cheap; and all farmers and other persons who keep bees, or wish to enter into that profitable culture, will find these hives all that can be desired.
 The subscriber, as attorney and agent for the patentee for the State of Arkansas, is now in Helena, and ready to grant individual rights, or to sell countless townships or districts to parties desirous of engaging in lucrative and pleasant occupation.
 According to an interesting calculation by a bee culturist, which is given in full in the trea- tise accompanying this hive, he proves how, in about ten years, any bee culturist may be worth nearly $3s,O00, simply by the sale of the honey, and swarms.
 The price of an individual right to make use of this patent hive is $5.

 Yankee Doodle. "Yankee Doodle!' Long ago They played it to deride us; And now we march to victory, And that's the tune to guide us! Yankee Doodle! ha! ha! ha!
 Yankee Doodle Dandy!
 How we made the Red Coats run
 Al Yankee Doodle Dandy! To fight is not a(pleasant game; But, five must, we'll do 1t! When "Yankee Doodle" once begins, Our Yankee boys go through 1t! Yankee Doodle! hal ha! ha!
 Yankee Doodle Dandy! 'sGo aheaG!" the captains cry,
 At Yankee Doodle Dandy. And let her come upon the sea, The insolent invader There the Yankee boys will be Prepared to serenade her!

Hints to Farmers.

Ij7lf you wish your orchards to bear yearly good crop, fork in around the roots liberal compost of charcoal, bone dust, common salt, soot, wood ashes and oyster shell lime. To this may be added brick dust or leaf mould. Keep your trees pro- perly cleaned and pruned, and we'll insure good yearly crop.
 DTDecayed grain of any kind is highly injurious to stock. It has a paralysing ef- feet upon the animal fed with it, oftentimes causing death. Where used at all, it should be done with exceeding caution.
 DFIn breaking a horse, always keep your temper. Patience and kindness always succeed better than haste and cruelty. If your horse is in the habit of running away. you can cure him by putting him to the top ot his speed, and keeping him at till he is thoroughly exhausted.
 DFIf you wish to make good COW of two year old heifer, let her have a calf. and then milk her three times day regular ly. This will increase Ter capacity to secrete milk.
 DTif you wish to avoid that arch-enemv to cabbage plants, the cut worm, set them at the bottom of trench some four or five inches deep.
 NBe careful that your cows are milked clean. The last milk is much the best. A lazy, careless miker will spoil the best COW in the world.
 O7lf you wish to prevent rats from burrowng under your buildings, lay the foundation in bed of rough gravel, from 6 10 IOinches thick.
 TWithproperm rmanagementth the manure made by pen of hogs, is worth as much as the pork.
 U4ou may cure gals in horses by the use of white lead ground in oil.
 0JTWash the bodies of your apple trees with strong soap suds.
 UPDrilled turnips always succeed best. Have you ever tried it.
 UTSoap suds is a good fertilizer for grape vines.

Yankee Doodle.

We have at last a true Yankee Doodle song-a genuine American song-a song that is like the glad echo of freedom to the derisive doggerel once sung to insult an op- pressed people. And it comes most oppor- tunely-in the July number of Cody.
 Our thanks are due to Cody for this sea sonable presentation. He has given us song of exultaton that will be familiar to millions of people for long, long years to come. The author of "Mena," and many other most exquisite poems, has perhaps written more elegant and elaborate poetry than that which follows, but we doubt that his pages contain any that will find so hear ty an echo in the bosoms of his countrymen.
