FARMERS COLUMN,
UIEING BEES.

In May and June bees are expected to
swarm. At this time the hives should be
IN sight from ten to one O'Clock. In
good weather the swarm comes out at
about ten. The new hive should be ready
tor them, and il the boards are new and
clean there will be no need of daubing
the INSIDE with any matter whatever.
Liquids OF all kinds are decidedly bad,
as bees are always ON their guard against
an! !thing wet.
AS to hiving, the best mode is to set
the hive right side up in all cases, where
it Is possible. On high trees this is not
an easy ma'ter-but bees seldom light
high when there are low trees near the
hive. We know that many turn the
hive mouth up 20 collect the bees. but
this is wrong. Set the hive upright on
table or other platform and place little
blocks under, that the bees may enter.

Reform of the Constitution.

Mr.. RIcKErTs,-Dedr Sir:-In compll
ance with the invitation of sSassafras" in
Your last paper proceed TO give my
views ofthe proprlety of one Or two OF
his propositions.
l would respectfully suggest property,
either real or personal be the legitimate
subject of tax, and the soul source ofrev-
enue. Property "looks to Government
for its fostering care and protection"
The intrinsic value of land, is as the
intrinsic value OF all other property, reg
u'ated by the demand and supply, or by
the value of other property--hence its
value is relative-and notwithstanding
'its value without labor'' may be "only
relative," can Sasssfras show why the
relative value Of land should be increased
at the expense Of the relative value of
other property since this, in my opin-
ion is the direct tendency Of his propo-
sition. Reduce the tax on land and the
tax for State and county purposes must be
raised from the balance of property,
equally '.valueless without labor
Shall the implements of labor, or its
proceed alone be taxed,
If the fitst, real and personal estate.
the Landlord will bear the onus-if the
latter, the tenant and professions. Which
are the proper subjects of legislation
+ or which class is legislative protection
required For neither one to the ex-
clusion OF the other, but for all. Then
why ask for special provision limiting
the tax on land If land constitute the
bulk of property, let IT pay the bulk of the
taxes, if manufactures or incomes, the
principle is the same.
Our Constitution should be oppressive
10 more. let it BE- equal in all its bearings,
let every thing constituting property pay
It's proportions and nothing more nor
less; then would the poor proportional

TO DESTROY MOLES,

The Michigan Farmer gives the follow
'ng-A lady farmer said the mead ow
mol's annoyed them greatly, and had
destroyed two fine pear trees. She tried
an expedlent for them with triumph and
success. Their suttcrrancan passage
was uncovered, and two cows horns,
with the large ends from each other;
placed on it, so that the moles, coming
either way enter the horns. Such is the
"natur Of the crltur" that it never backs

FREE TRADE AND THE PRICE OF
GRAIN.

Extract from the June number of the
Plough, the Loom and the Anvil
The effect of free trade in that coun-
Try, (England,) is described in the May
number OF the Farmers Magazine OF
London" We wish we had room for
the whole article The editor SAYS:
"Ihe more rational of the free traders
have long since discovered that to lower
the value Of agricultural produce in this
country below The cost OF production, bv
lmpor'at'ons Of foreign corn, is not likely
to be SO advantageous to themselves as
they at one period anticipated. They
nave ALREADY found out, that the falling
off in he home demand for manntacturc
IN consequence of the altered position OF
our of our farmers, has lessened their
trade, and curtaled their profits far n ore
than 1t has increased an export demand.
A change is therefore gradually taking
place IN public oppinion; which would
certainly manifest itself plainly in case
OF general elrction.-Meanwhlle, her
maiesty's ministers seem determined to
stick to their places as long as possible,
and farmers need look for no relief from
the present government"
After quoting the last accounts OF New
York prices for -four, the editor says:
"lt is considerably higher than at Mark
Lane; and it would almost pay 10 ship the
article from Liverpool 10 .Tep York"
Now, as has been the effect of free
trad" in England, so is the effect Of the
diminution of the duties since 1916 in
this country. 1t not only diminlshes
the power to consume, by persons enga-
ged in the iron, the coal, the cotton, and
the woollen business, but it drives the
labor employed in them to the plough
making rivals in place of consumers.

MY Ulster An hour ago l stood hv
the little yard gate, and as l leaned upon
ii the fragrant breath of May swept my
cheek, and sent sweet rev,vlng thrill all
through my veins. A little bird sat upon
a tree near by, and as its joyful notes came
to my ear, | felt longing TO wander away
to the woods. Opened the gate, passed
through and was soon tr-ad.ng the path
leading down through the meadow With
q. quick step AMI light heart I csrae
along, singing little song you taught me
so long ago, and thinking OF hours, when
children, we wandered along this path as
we went in search OF the early flowers.
When | reached the grove of old naples
heard the ripping Of the little stream, and
soon the we'll known log with the green
moss creeping ovec it came in sight, and
now
In sitting on the grsen old log
Where oft I've sat with thee
When the sun stone brightly down
And the birds sung nerrily.
And now, the sun is shining,
The birds are singing near,
Yet ! see not the sunshine
The birds do not hear;-
For | listc to the waiting
or the srcamlrt flowing hy,
And the trees al around mo
Seem to moan, and sob and sigh
Ny spirit heaving, answers
With a moan and with Il sigh
!! is thy birthday, sister,
And were near thee now,
I'd ;Wine NY arms about thee,
"a press upon thy brow
A KISS; SO fond and gentle
I'd strive in words 10 i"ll
How very much miss 'I"o,
My sister; and how well
] love thee; how my spirit
Stll clirgs around thu own;
How, oft, it sadly murmurs -
OF thee-thc absent one.
Oh. sadly now remember
The last time Hc sat hero
Close iwied your arms about mey
Your heart, Won drew ne near;
You strove To still my weeping,
You strope To soothc '"y woe
My hear, refused to listen,
Our tears did mingling Cow.
Long We wep, aud fingered
On the spot we loved so we'll,
Here we had been happy,
Hero, oft had loved t. tell
OF bright dreams of the future
When our hearts beat glad and high;
And here we came in sadness,
10 weep, and say 'Goud-bye."
And since that day, my sister,
I've never sat me here,
Till now came to look on
The spot, to us dear;
But from my side miss thee
! look in vain TO see
Its brightness and lis snnshine-
They've fed away with thee;
And shadows dark aud gloomy,
And murmurs sad and low,
Are all that now are left me
To tell f"long ago.
