Ree-Keeping in Ohio.

T. G. Carey, who has had good deal of
experience, SAYS that bee keeping in South
ern Ohio cannot be made profitable, and for
the simple reason that the time for gather
inc honey is so short Under the most fa-
vorable circumstances, and during the best
seasons; it does rot exceed six weeks, being
from the first or middle of May to the mid
die or last of June. When the fruit bios
SONS, locust, white clover and poplar are
gone, the bee season is over. And if there
Is a failure of the fruit, and the season from
July onward is dry. it viii require all they
store during those six weeks, to give them a
Fan and Winter supply, and many viii per-
ish of starvation unless fed during Septem-
Der; and bees, during most seasons, will not
hold their own, after the first of July, in
Southern Ohio. Where the buckwheat is
grown in abundance, they will improve some
upon it, but In this latitude, the buckwheat
blossom is without much saecharine matter,
on account of the heat during the season
that it is in flower. In neighborheods where
the linden tree fourishes commonly term
ed bass woody, the season viii thereby be
heightened some two weeks, and In such To-
calities, with this additional supply, bee
keeping win be far more successful aud prof
table With these facts before any one
about to establish an aviary in that particu-
| lar locality, or one of the same character, he
viii do well to inquire, not only of Mr.. Ca
rev, but every other one who has tried the
experiment, whether bee-keeping is profta-
ble. Bee feeding will not supply the def
cheney of natural bee pasture In any locality,
and it is nothing but a miserable cheat TO
feed bees dirty sugar and sell the product for
honey. 1t is nothing but poor sugar sirup.
The only profit in feeding sugar to bees is
to save their stores of natural honey. Oh
patent hives, Mr.. Carey says:
eve have tried some sixteen different
patterns about with equal success, varying
just in proportion to their departures from
simplicity; the simplest being uniformly the
best; and we now frankly say, we believe the
old straw hive or hollow log is as good as
any of them with but a single exception
The glass in the rear of most of our patent
hives enables US to discover more readily
| the condition of hive"
And this, after no little experience and
expense, we most fully indorse. Patent
hives are no protection against the bee moth
/ The bestprotection ever given is to raise the
common box hive half an inch from the
board on four little pebbles, and then Gu
some creases a quarter inch deep in a shin
gle and lay that, creases down, on the bencl
under the swarm, for a harbor for worms
1t is needless to say to any but an ineXperi
enced bee-keeper, that these shingles are t.
be frequently examined and the worms kill

Water for Stock.

To keep cattle on water that would give a
man the ague, is wicked. 1t is not only
cruel to the brute, but it makes the flesh and
milk unwholesome, and scatters disease
wherever either is eaten. On MANY farms,
we see a basin scooped out, where the wa
ter, In wet weather, can flow in, and be held,
In dry weather, for the use of the cattle.
Dry weather comes-frogs, toads, tad
poles, and leeches inhabit it; the former ma
king it filthy: the heat covering it with a
green scum; and the leeches, by being drank,
and fastening on the internal blood ves-
sells. producing bloody murrian And
with such water for drink, farmers expect
healthy cattlel As well may they expect
healthy children brought up in the ever
glades of Florida, with no drink but the
swamp water. in which, for ages, have been
stepped alligators, and other reptiles.
If farmers have no other water, they ought
to construct large filters ofehafcoal and grav-
el, and filter it before drank. They can be
made ike large leach tubs, sufficiently capa-
cieus to filter the water for large herd

FROM the London news, June Sf.
Renewal of the African Slave Trade
Conspiracy against Negro Freed ON.
When deputation of the West Indian
proprietary recently waited on Lord Pal
merston to advocate an extensive plan of
what they were pleased to term ''free emf
grafton from the coast of Africa to their
estates in the West Indies, they endeavored
to excite the Premier into the adoption of
that plan, by suggesting that France would
be beforehand with England, if the British
Government did not go into the enterprise
at once.
In this suggestion the deputation did not
if report speaks truly, err. The French
Government have, it is stated, entered into
a contract with a house at Marseilles, which
has been long engaged in the West African
trade, for the introduction of 10000 free
negroes, from that coast into their West
India Islands, and the first vessel of the
contracting merchants has, it is added, al
ready left Marseilles for the port of Why
dab. The Spanish Government too, have,
it is stated in Madrid journal, a great
scheme for supplying Cuba with African
labor, without infringing any of the slave
trade treaties with this country, which
scheme can hardly be other than some imi-
tation of this French example.
Of the truth of these statements we pro-
fess to know nothing, but following as they
do in the wake of the proposition of our
own West Indian body, and fulfilling, as
that relating to France does, the anticipa-
ton expressed to Lord Palmerston, we can
not reject them as incredible. If true, If 1t
be possible that France, Spain, England
and Brazil, are about to enter into hot COM
petetion for the transfer of negroes from
the coast of Africa to the West Indies for
the production of sugar in those tropical
countries, the friends of humanity must be-
stir themselves; for disguise and qualify
the scheme as the parties may, it has in ii
all the elements of the slave trade.
The enormous price to which sugar has
now attained, with the probability of its
farther increase, rather than its decline, is
In every respect very deplorable. 1t re
stricts the use of an article which has be-
come almost necessary of life among the
poorer classes, at a time when bread and
meat are both dear, and it has led, we OBJ
serve, at Leeds, to resolution amongst the
working people to abandon the use of sugar
until its price falls two pence per pound
The causes of this rise are plain enough
In the producing countries generally (thers
are of course special exceptions, such a.

Cows for the Dairy.

There are certain points in a mixer that
can hardly be mistaken. She should be de-
scended from the best milking stock her
head should be small, of medium size, muz-
zle fine, and nostrils expanded and flexible
eyes full, mild and prominent; horns deli
cate and waxy, and they may be either branch
ing, Topped, crunlpled, or hornless; long,
thin, lively ear, and the inside of an orange
color; neck thin, and small at its junction
with the head; deep chest, but not too heavy
before; back level and broad; well ribbed;
belly large, low fanked; wide thighs, but
thin; short legs, and standing well apart;
large milking veins, with loose, capacious
udder, coming out well behind; good teats;
loose mellow skin, of deep yellow; fine,
thick coat of glossy hair, and she must be
of good disposition and perfectly free from
tricks.
Yet, with all the skill of well praetised
taste in the selection of animals, the dairy
man will frequently find his theories and
times select fine animal, with every ap-
pearanee of good milking qualities, which is
but medium COW at the pail; another, that
hardly seems worthy of notice, and which
sets at defiance many established milking
points, and all pre-conceived notions of SYM
metry, may yet be good mixer. A COW
that runs to flesh, while In milk, is gener-
ally an indifferent animal for the dairy. Per-
fection in COW consists in converting all
she eats into milk while yielding it, and when
dry in turning all she consumes into valua-
bic meat

Hens and Eggs.

For several years past have spent few
weeks of the latter part of August, on the
Kennebec river, IN Maine. The lady with
whom I have stopped is highly accom-
plished and intelligent housewife. She
supports hennery," and from her 1 de-
rived my information in this matter. She
told me that for many years she had been in
the habit of administering TO her hens, with
their common food, at the rate of teaspoon
full OF cayenne pepper each alternate day, to
a dozen of her fowls. Last season when
was with her, each morning she brought in
from twelve to fourteen eggs, having but
sixteen hens In all. She again ands again
experimental IN the matter, by onitting to
feed with the cayenne for two or three days.
The consequence invariably was, that her
product of eggs fell off to FIVE or six per day.
The same effect of using the cayenne is pro-
duced in winter as well as In summer.-Bos-
ton Transcript.
