Profits Of Bee Keening.

The following letter from a New York
school teacher to Col B. P. Johnson, Sec
retary of the New York State Agricul-
tural Society, illustrates how profitable it
is, and how easy too. for a professional
man, to say nothing of farmers with broad
acres of teeming fields, to indulge in this
kind of husbandry:
"You expressed wish for a statement
of my success in Bee Culture. | have

or more. my number of hives usually

NutrltlVe qualities Of The Onion.

The onion deserves notice as an article
Of great consumption in this country, and
it rises in importance when we consider
that in some countries, like Spain and
Portugal, it forms one of the common and
universal supports Of life. Il is interest
ing, therefore, to know that, in addition
to the peculiar favor which first recon.
mendsit. the onion is remarkably nutritious.
According to analysis, the dried onion
root contains from twenty-five to thirty
per cent. of gluten. Il ranks, in this re.
spect, with the nutritious pea and the
grain of the East. It is not merely as a
relish, therefore that The wayfaring Span.

TeSt Of AbOlitiOniSm,

All is not gold that shines, and the
loudest mouthed philanthropists and re-

Il had brother.in-law," said Nose

EyerbIOOming Roses.

There are no flowers like roses, and no
roses like the perpetuals. One never sees
too many of them, and il is pity that
every man, who really appreciates fine
flowers, should not be the owner of a
whole acre of them; what a glorious acre
it would be though-a field of beauty and
fragrance. Even the choicest of these
roses are now tolerably cheap, and abun-
dant in the nurseries, so we take it for
granted, that many reader of the Pra-
irie Farmer can, with most pardonable
pride, boast Of a few such gems as Pho
TX, Geant des Battailes, Hermosa, Sc
sc. If they received the proper aten-
ton early in spring they will now be full
of bloom. The Remontanis should al-
ways have their first crop of buds picked
of as fast as they appear; if this has
been neglected you will only get few
scattering blooms during late summer and
autumn. The rose likes a deep, heavy
soil, and high culture, with the exception
of the Nolsettes and other fine wooded
sorts, for which lighter soil is preferable
Burnt sod forms an excellent fertilizer for
the rose, and pounded charcoal is also good.
Liquid manure applied just before rain
will be productive of the happiest results
while leaf mold from the woods is often
one of the handiest and best fertilizers
that can be applied. Stir the surface soil
frequently, and in time of drouth give an
occasional copious watering, taking care
to stir the surface soil next day to keep it
from baking. Keep all the roses picked
off as fast as they begin TO fade they
look unsightly and take just so much
nourishment from the young buds. Some
of the more delicate growers like the
Noisettes will be murh benefited by being
projected from the hot glare of the midday
sun. Il it has not before been tended TO-,
there is still time to put down layers, and
such floral treasures are well worth in
creasing; besides, if any of your speci-
mems are budded or grated, it will be
wise to get them on their own roots as
soon as possible. Recollect, that the latest
idea in layering is to notch the upper in
stead of the lower side of the branch, they
are not so apt to break, and slight twist
to one side leaves the tongue in the right
position. You may increase your favorites
by budding on any thrifty, free growing
stock. The Manneti is the best, the
common blush rose will do, and even the
wild wood rose. Select we'll ripened and
prominent buds, and do the work as quick
ly and neatly as you can. Both layerlng
and budding are simple operations, pleas
ant accomplishments that every body in
the land should understand both in theory
and practice Prairie Farmer.

of any kind. This can be said of no other
live stock, and yet it is demonstrable that
no other can equal this in profit. The
wonder is that bees are not more exten-

Ringing the Grane Vine.

This process we find is obtaining not a
little note among grape growers. A year

ed to US some interesting experiments and
their results. BY this process, it is claim

be increased, and the period of its ma

the following description of the process
"a narrow ring of bark is taken from
the bearing stem near its junction with the
main stock. 1t must be as deep as the
liber, i. e., penetrating the two barks.-
The effect is to check the formation of
leaf, and to accelerate the growth and
ripening of the grapes by at least fort
night. Specimens from vines treated in
this manner have been shown at the ex-
hibition in Paris. The fruit was larger
than that of the unringed branches Of the
