Kelsey's Alternating Bee Hive.
Patented Man on. 1915.

LIVERY family should be in possession Of
~ these hives; the only hive ever constructed
wherein success is certain in cultivating bees,
and obtaining rich reward Of honey for n little
trouble. Over 1000 bee culturists have then,
now in use, and every one that has adhered to
the directions which accompany the hive, never
have failed Of success; the hive can be placed
in small yards in towns and even be PLACED in
the windows Of houses and the bees can work
just as well as II they were in an open field,
the alternating principles Of these hives are
such that honey can be taken away without
disturbing the bees. The young swarm can be
taken away with their nursing bees and placed
in the ceAtre of new hives which prevents that
much dreaded trouble Of swarming in the old
way; swarms can be wintercd on s or lbs of
honey as well as 30 or 40 lbs of honey in the old
way. The Bec-moth and other insects are pre-
vented from disturbing the swarms, the exami.
nation Of these hives at once will convince any
man Of experience in the culture Of bees, that
they are the very ones that have been needed
for years, as they work with the nature Of the
bee.
J. s. NEGBY, having purchased the right Of
johnson county, is prepared to furnish all who
shall want an article Of this kind. model Of
the hive can be seen at Swans Hotel.

The MOrmOnS i'm the Salt Lake
Valley.

Messrs. Booth and Denniston have
recently arrived at Terre Haute, from
California, having made the home
ward journey Ia somewhat unusual
thing) across the plains. These gen.
tlemen stopped some time in the
Mormon settlement, and from them
the editors of the Wabash Express
learn that this singular people have
extended their settlements along the
base of the mountains Northward,
and facing the Greats Salt Lake, nine
ty miles, nearly to Bear River Ferry.
They are fast taking up all the good
land in the Valley. Each one claims
and owns whatever he is able to
enclose and improve. They are
satisfied with small tract each, say
from forty to one hundred acres
They are very industrious people,
and their Improvements are good and
substantial.
Their houses are small and neat,
being built of adobes made from blue
clay. They have mills in the noun
tain canons, and make fair lumber,
which is sold in the city at $50 per
thousand. Flour is sold in the city
SO to So per 100 lbs, butter Csc,
cheese 90. Money is scarce, and
everything is dull of sale Goods
have been very scarce and dear, but
vast quantities were going in and
met on the road this side-many
morethan possibly could be consumed.
The Mormons are engaged in
building a railroad to the mountain,
some seven or eight miles, on which
to transport the materials for their
great temple. The city covers a
great deal of ground, and is probably
the most rural city in the world, each
man being allowed one and a quar-
ter acres for his residence and gar
den. A late census taken by them
selves, makes the population of the
city and ajoining settlements, eigh-
teen thousand.

The Tariff.

This law of the country has period
icalspasms, not unlike Mr.. Webster's
hay fever. The Importance Of its
modific ation-of the introduction into
it of the protective Principle comes
and goes, like the old woman's soap.
1t is, perhaps, a singular coincidence
in the history of the Tariff, that al
ways preceding an election in Penn
sylvania, the country is seized with a
violent fit of depression-the manu-
facturers suddenly get the blues, the
horrors, and all sorts of inauspicious
devils, which disturb their equanimity
considerably more than one would
expect! The country then is in the
most terrible danger-ruin to its
great interests is impending over
them-money is becoming scarce
the Tariff must be increased a home
market must be created by excluding
foreign products, and above all a lit
tie excited public opinion must be
manufactured, or none of these things
can be done. The home market is
one of the prettiest little devices Of
manufacturers which has yet come to
hand, and it ougks to be patented by
the man that invented it,, So great
far1iscovery a. that which will con4Ael
a people to eat up their own surplus
produce ought not to go unrewarded.
Besides, unless you enlist the cupidity
Of some company in the extension Of
such an invention, the people of the
United States never will see or under
stand it, and consequently never reap
the fruits of the Great Discovery.
