A WESTERN WEDDT<G FEE.-A min

Saving Honey by Destroying Drones

1t is a certain fact, demonstrated by
Huber, and proved again and again since
his time, that the impregnation of the
queen lasts three years; at least, this
being the case, there are seasons when
the apiarian will be enabled to secure the
greatest quantity of honey, by preventing
his bees from swarming, and at the same
time destroying all the drones. The
plan is simple and effectual. For the
first, it is only necessary to contract the
entrance to the hive to a space 5-32 of
an inch wide; this will allow a worker
bee to pass in and out, but will detain
the queen in the hive. This space will
also keep back the drones, and if it is
proposed to destroy them, las they GER
tainly ought to De, if the hive is prevent
ed from swarming, and as 1 shall pre-
sently show, then take box. say about
six inches square, and insert a wooden
tube half an inch in the aperture, about
! inches long, so that it shall be flush
with the outside Of the box, but project
inside about an inch, (if the box is half
inch stuff, the above length of tube will
/ Just do Place this tube in the lower
corner ofthe boz, so that it shall overlap
the entrance Just enough to let drone
enter the tube from the hive, The rest
of the entrance may be contracted to the
5-32 of an inch. Now, place a glass on
the open top of the box, covering it all
but 5-32 of an. inch at one end. The
drones viii endeaEor to go out with the
workers, but cannot. They will then
follow along till they come to the open
ing in the tube, and go through it into
the box. They cannot go out of the box
into air, on account Of the space being
only $50 of an inch wide, neither can
they go back to the hive, because the tube
projects inside, and is not accessible from
the bottom or side of the box. If a
worker goes into the box, of course the
slit will let hin, out or rather should
say Il, being neuter. ~ Il. 49, ~.
When large number Of drones are
collected, they may be immersed in wa
ter, and the box put back.

Scholars.

No one can be made a scholar almost
all persons can make themselves scholars.
Labor-saving machines do not apply to
the mental world in the same sense as to
the physical. 1t is not among vast libra
ries, surrounded by numerous teachers
and professors, that prodigies of learning
are produced. The person who in youth
learns to exercise his own powers of mind,
is sure to turn ont scholar, and a useful,
practical man, if he lives to the middle
period of life. If he does not learn to think
for himself, as well as to read books and
receive facts from others, he will never
become really learned. s-4-aftf
Who ever heard of a scholar made by
lectures, or by teachers in any form ? Has
not every scholar, who has yet appeared
in the world, become such by his own ef-
forts--by personal application-by the
patient and perseverins use of the ma
chinery within him ?--who ever heard Of
hereditary learning. or of ideas manufac-
tured like cotton cloth--by steam or wa
ter power?
The history of American Colleges. fol
the last ten or twenty years, fully proves
that students who perform the most men
tai labor for themselves, and not those
who hear the greatest number of profess
ors, make'the strongest and most valuable
men. A large library is another facility
in education. which by abuse is likely to
do injury TO students. A great reader,
and especially a miscellaneous reader, i:
seldom good scholar or useful man.
He may have large mass of material:
collected, but has no power to use them,
either for himself or his fellow men. Hi:
mind is q mere lumber yard, nd'himsell
an intellectual miser--a blank in beau
tifui and harmonious creation around
him. Ulf ITts $500

IMPORTANT TO AeRIcULrumsrs.--A
Gardener at Glasgow, Scotland, practices
a mode of destroying caterpillars which
he discovered by accident. A piece of
wooden rag had been blown by the wind
into curTant- bush, and when taken out
was found covered by the leaf-devouring
insects. He Immediately placed pieces Of
wooden cloth in every bush in his garden,
and found next day that the caterpillars
had universally taken to them for shelter.
In this way he destroys many thousands
every morning.-BePs Messenger.

IMPoRTANT TO SPoRTsMEN.-Not long
since, Q youthful friend of ours accidentally
swallowed lead bullet; his friends were
very naturally much alarmed, and his
father, that no means might.be spared to
save his darling boys life, sent post haste
to surgeon Of skill, directing the mes
senger to tell him the circumstances and
urge his coming without delay.
The doctor was found-heard the dis
NAL tale, and with as much unconcern as
he would manifest in case of common
headache, sat down and wrote the fol-
lowing laconic note:
Sir:-don't alarm yourself. If after
three weeks the bullet is not removed,
give the boy charge of powder.
