The Season.


Continued warm weather and frequent
rains continue to push vegetation of all
kinds rapidly. So far as crops have ma
tured our anticipations have been fully re-
allied. Wheat is very nearly an average
crop. oats and hay much above an average
and there is every prospect of an unusual
ly good crop of corn and potatoes. Pas
lures have yielded abundantly, affording,
on the same extent of ground nearly
double the amount of feed obtained last
year.
From our exchanges we infer that this
Immediate vicinity has been more highly
favored; than almost any other section of
country. The only drawback npon our
prosperity is to be -apprehended from the
diseases generated by the rank growth
and rapid decay of vegetation. In fruits
we have less to boast of. Peaches are
abundant, but the apple crop is very
light one. The weather has been too wet
for ripening fruits or grains properly, but
is now more favorable. af.a

High Prices of Stock.

The high price of beef, about which ev-
cry body is complaining, is an Illustration
Of the trte remark, that the removal of a
very small quantity of any article from
the market, will greatly enhance the price
of that which remains. There is no doubt
for example, that the enhanced value OF
beef, apart from the general rise IN prices
of all commodities, from the increase in
gold, arises from the trade in stock, car
ried on with California by the Western
States. From Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
and even Ohio, immense droves annually
move off, across the plains, to supply the
Californians; many farmers following this
expectation of cattle to the Pacific Coast,
as a regular business, to the exclusion o1
every thing else. Before the discovery o1
the gold mines, there was no market fol
this Western stock, except at New Orleans
or here in the East.
These being the chief causes of the
high price of beef. there is no pros
pect of its cheapening while the causes
continue; and the best informed stock

to the amount of twenty-five dollars each.
Now it is quite probable that the horses
had strength enough to draw the load In
question, but they had not had sufficient
practice; they did not know how to apply
their strength, and did not work in con-
cert. They should have been made to
draw only light loads for long time, and
then, by increasing the weight gradually,
as their strength and experience increases
they can be made to do all the work they
are capable of doing, and will always
work kindly, and may be depended upon

Feeding Bees.

t- US . # q A4
In No. 40, Vol. 8,of pour valuable pa
per, | discover you again state that bees
make lbs. of honey from of sugar,and
! have seen it stated by scientific men
of note in the world, that bees wouldcon-
vert sugar .or molasses, &C., into pure
honey. Now wish to state that the idea
is wholly erroneous.
The best food for bees, aside from honey
itself, is thick syrup made of refined
loaf sugar, of which a middling sized col
ony will remove from 3 to lbs. in "a h..
Let this be done in the fall season, and 8
months thereafter examine the comb into
which it is placed, and you will find pure
grained loaf sugar instead of honey
and Just the same result will be found by
feeding your six cent brown sugar. -
Take lb. of brown sugar and make of
it syrup, and when taken into the hive
it will weigh lbs. heavier than it did be-
fore the feeding, but there is not 9 lbs.
more honey, but 2 lbs. of syrup placed in
the comb, and upon examination 3 months
thereafter it will be found to be grained
sugar; but the same colony will not re
move but little over half as much of this
as they will of the loaf sugar. But the
best feed is the honey itself. have known
large colony to remove from 6 to 8 lbs.
of honey from pans in 2 hours; thus you
may see from the quantity of syrup taken
up, it is impossible that it should undergo
any considerable change in the stomach of
the worker A bee will fill its stomach
from the pan in from 80 to SO seconds,
and empty it in less time, hence it is evi-
dent that the whole theory, with regard
to the capacity of the bee to change the
nature of the substance taken into the
honey stomach or sack, is false, and to
show you the confidence | have in the
truth of the above statement, will agree
to give 800 for stand of bees that will
convert sugar into pure honey, such as
they get from white clover or flowers
in general.

-. Cleanse Fine Wool.

There are few old-fashloneu inouses
from. which the spinning wheel is not yet
entirely abandoned. The inmates of such
do not always know how to cleanse the
gum out of merino wool, before sending
it to the carding machine. Let them cut
out and preserve this direction, by which
we have cleaned many a hundred weight,
some of which was almost as black as my
hat, with dirt and gum; characteristic of
all fine wool sheep.
For 100 fb of wool, take 4 gallons of
urine, and gallons of rain water, mix
and heat a little above blood heat until
the skum rises, which skim off. Keep ii
at the same heat in kettle on Goals or a
little fire out of doors. Put in what wool
the kettle will conveniently hold, and let il
remain about 5 minutes-take it out on q
board that will drain the liquid back into
the kettle, or else put it in a basket over 6
tub, SO as not to waste the liquid, for i
will be equally good for the last batch as
the first. When it is drained, put the
basket under stream of water running
on it if convenient, or in a running stream
it you can, or else with plenty of eleal
water in a large tub, it will wash very
easy, and be as "white as wool"
Don't forget to sprinkle the dirty hquio
upon the poorest spotin the garden, for i
is powerful manure.
The same kind of liquid is the bes
thing known to take the dirt and greas'
out of any kind of foul woolen cloths O

Charcoal for Sheep. ,

q One of the best medicine for human
beings, is finely pulverised fresh charcoal

half to teaspoonful with five times its
bulk of water, forming an agreeable and
excellent remedy for almost any kind of
deranged stomach, and i'm larger doses con-
stituting very mild and perfectly safe

same remedy would often prove of great
service to domestic animals. Although
we have never seen it tried, we confident

powdered charcoal, mixed with twot to four
quarts of water. would prove an admira-

Feeding Cattle around Stacks.

When a corner or knoll in the meadow
is found to be in poor condition, farmers
often attempt to enrich such places by
making stack of hay on the ground,
and foddering it out, expecting to reap a
double benefit of improving the land, and
saving the trouble of carting the hay and
manure. Let us examine the argu-
ments for, and objections to, this course
of procedure. e -.s
The ground in this climate is always
frozen in winter and covered more or less
with snow, and consequently the liquid
manure freezes upon the snow, and as the
snow melts before the ground thaws and
settles sufficiently to absorb the fcrtilizing
qualities of the manure, the most valua-
bic portion is lost entirely. The heavy
rains drench the solid part of the manure
and alternate thawing and freezing de-
stroy its strength, SO that the soil is COM
paratively little benefited.
Another prominent objection is, that
the cattle or sheep thus. exposed in some
bleak place, consume about one fourth
more food than would be necessary, if
comfortable stables were provided for
them, and they come out emaciated and
sickly in the spring. Thus instead of Sc
curing double profit in stacking the hay
a threefold loss is sustained--nameIy, the
better portion of the manure-a consid-
cradle portion of the hay, and in the CON
dition of the stock. Cows, kept during
winter in this way, require long time to
recover from the effects of exposure, and
frequently the season is far advanced land
the grass becomes dry and less succulent,
before they regain their fesh---thus very
much lessening the profit arising from
them.
True economy consists in keeping cat
tie in good condition with the least guam
tity of feed, and in making and saving all
the manure possible. Proper attention is
not given to composing manure, for
still regard it as the basis of remunerative
farming. it is the great thing to make
our farms fertile; for drouth or excessive
rains do not injure rich soil IS they dc
starved land. a7.F.lf

Fattening sheep.

It is sometimes an object to fatten sheep
rapidly in summer, and also to fatten of
old sheep which cannot be readily fatten
ed on pasture alone. In either case, good
pasture and the feeding of moderate
quantity Of grain daily, will generally eff
feet it very advantageously. One bushe
of grain fed to sheep in summer, viii
make as much fat as three or four fed IL
winter; hence they may be fattened of
most rapidly, with least expense, in sum
mer and fall.-Cdnfezd. s.

of new white wheat which has thus far

fine. The grain is richer, fuller, and bet

years. The quality offour manufactured
from it, must therefore be very fine.
