From the Boston CultivatOr
Bee Culture.

After the removal of the young swarm
to the stand, the hive should be elevated
upon the pins at the corners at once, and
if the swarm is a large one, and the wea-
ther very warm at the time, the bees will
be likely to lay outside of the hive, in
which case it should be. raised, by small
blocks at the corners an inch or more.
This will admit such a current of air that
the bees will soon enter the hive, and if
the season is a favorable one, will fill it
with combs in fifteen days.
The boxes for storing surplus honey
may be put on Immediately after remov-
ing to the stand, or may be left off until
the bees are seen to cluster down to the
bottom board, as they will not In anv case
enter them to work till the space below
is occupied and the objection that some
persons raise against my method of fur
nishing extra store room upon the top of
the bive, is without foundation, as in no
case have | known swarm of bees TO
commence storing honey in box or sup
er, until the main hive was filled with
combs and honey TO within two or three
inches of the bottom.
No surplus honey need be expected
from any but old stocks and first swarms,
as all after swarms will have as much
space as they can occupy the first season
In the main section.
The necessity of having very strong
swarms cannot be too deeply impressed
upon the bee-keeper's mind. With this
end in view, be should be governed by
certain rules, varying them according to
circumstances. The following is the
course / would recommend in uniting the
weak swarms. have remarked that as
a general rule, all third swarms should
be returned to the parent hive; there
may be an exception to this rule in cases
of early swarming, when the third swarm
issues by the 25th of June. Then they
may be hived, uniting with a second or
third swarm from another hive, issuing
at about the same time, or at the longest
within four or FIVE days. If longer time
elapse, they would not be likely to unite
tremendously. When issuing thus early
in the season, the old stock would not be
likely to suffer from over-swarming, but
would have ample time to recruit their
numbers, and by September, if prosper

AGRICULTURAL.
Utility of the Barometer.
From the American AgricuIturist.

"John Underwood, Esq. of Aurelia.
New York, secured his entire hay crop
this Summer, by consulting the baroml :
ter. The morning on which he CONNER
ced cutting his hay, looked cloudy and felt
like rain, still the barometer pointed un-
erringly to dry weather, and upon the
strength of that he sent in his moving
machine. The hay was cut and cured,
and secured, before any rain made its
appearance. Who doubts that the in
strument paid for itself by that item of
information i? The time is coming when
the farmer will as soon think of return
fng to his scythe, as to be without the
infallible weather prophet; the barome-
ter-.4uburn .AdUertiser.
Since we have commenced making OBJ.
servations upon the aneroid barometer,
we have been impressed more strongly
than ever before, with the great utility
and importance of this instrument to far
mers. During the dry weather, preva
lent here allthrough June and July, the
barometer index remained almost stead
lily at point above 80 inches, though
every slight shower that fell, was indica-
Gated by rapid declension of the index
hand, from two to ten hours in advance.
The other day we remained at home
writing until after dinner, and then went
down TO our city office. The sky being
clear, with no indication of rain, we went
thinly clad from head to foot. On reach
ing the Office, clouds had begun to gath
er, and the barometer had fallen nearly
half an inch, which ourassociate informed
US, had occurred within an hour. We
obeyed its injunction, and started at once
for home, and had scarcely arrived there
before heavy fall. of rain commenced,
accompanied with thunder and strong
wind. The barometer in that case GER
tainly saved US a disagreeable wetting
and perhaps a cold. This is only one of
several similar instances Of the positive
Indications of rain, which lave been CIV
en- by our barometer during Rfew weeks
past.
The contrary indicators have been
scarcely less marked. For several times
there has been every sign of rain in the
heavens, hut the barometer was unmoved,
and in no such case a rain fallen. Here
is one example. We had planned to
take our family to see the Great Eastern
early on tie morning of July 25. On
rising in the morning, the sky indicated
a rainy day. and we were in doubt wheth-
er to defer The visit or not. A glance
at the barometer showed no change in
the index for twenty-four hours, and we
determined to follow its Indication. The
result was, we had fine day, and amin
structive and pleasant visit to the "Big
Ship" AS it turned out, we could not
have gone on any subsequent day of her
stay, and but for our barometer, would
have lost The opportunity of inspecting
her.
We particui.ar!ze the alov, instances
to illustrate the practical utility of the
barometer. The truth is, science is con-
stantly contributing in thousand ways
not only to comfort and convenience, but
is also aiding in more successfully per-
forming the various operations of active
life.

FecunditY Of Rats.

Button, and others, state, that l,000,-
900 rats may be propagated in two years
from single pair. If this be true, then
there is no occasion towonder that dwell
lings, stores and Offices are infested by
these troublesome and destructive yer-
min. If what such distinguished natu-
ralists state to be true, then it becomes
all whose premises are infested withthese
quadrupeds, to enter upon the work of
Staying them as vigorously as POS ible,
for you see, if let alone, how quickly
they will fill every hiding place adapted
to their wants and necessities. 1t is with
them as with most other vermin and
weeds; if neglected, their patronage be-
comes perfectly overwhelming. Hence
the old maxim, "a stitch in time saves
nine"

WILLIE NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1860.

The aurora borealis affected the tele-
graph wires a few wees ago to such a
degree that messages were sent between
ROston and New York independently of
the galvanic battery. The wires run
ming eastward of Boston and westward
of New York were not affected much.
Eastward of St. John the wires were so
much under the magnetic influence that
it was impossible to work them.

BcginNingtO Reap the
Fruits

The newspaper paragraphs tell us that
the iournevmeu shoemakers Of Nat;ck
Senator Wilson's town. Lynn, Haverhill,
Marblehead, and other shoe manufacturing
towns have gone of in strike for higher
wages, and in the same connection Is an.
nounced the failure of one shoe -mGnufact
urer for $4,000, and other like failures
are expected This is the beginning of
the fruits of needless AN l slavery agitation
in Massachusetts. These shoemakers are
honest, upright, hard, working men. and
they are sincere in their anti slavery views,
which lecturers, preachers, and politicians
have hammered into their souls while they
have been hammering soles for bread
They have talked and voted hatred TO the
South and devotion to the n.gro, until they
have driven off custom and now, when
the employers begin to fail for want Of
customers, and cannot pay the high prices
which this anti slavery agitation has cut
down, the iourneymen strike and insists OH
more wages. The remedy for them and
their employers is not strike against low
wages, but a strike against the agitation.
What do the Natick shoemakers owe 10
their Senator Wilson for his course in
fostering sectional hostility between North
and South What b neh; have the Theo-
dore Parker and The Emerson and Phillips
lecturers conferred on them? How much
better do they live and thrive in their
families for having elected Mr.. Banks Gov.
and an anti slavery Legislature to pass in
sulling resolutions against the South and
listen to fanatics who propose to make II
State prison offence TO execute the law of
the Union in this Commonwealth 3? What
thrift has there been in the abolition poll
teal economy taught there by the black
republican press that has inci'ed them to
wrath and anger and uncharitablensss
against their southern customers Let the
laboring men of Massachusetts,. of sound
minds and good judgment, reflect upon
this state OF free labor among us. and SEQ
whether or not the plain remedy IS not 10

Extravaganza.

Extravaganza in dress is, says the
Troy Times. prolific cause of mischief.
This extravaganza is characteristic of the
present times. and especially OF the gentler
sex. Some OF our grandmothers. who
were content with homespun raiment, and
never dreamed Of jewelrv, would be as
tonished if they could come forth now
from their quiet resting places under the
sod, and behold the metamorphoses of fe-
male fashions, since their times. This
unreasonable extravaganza often eharac-
terizes those who should be most cautions
in expenditure and many poor thought
less girls are met with, who wear upon
their backs on holiday occasions, silks and
stuffs, furs and jewe'rj. bat have absorbed
months wages In their purchase. 1t Is
needless TO suggest in detail the score OF
evils resulting from this nlischievous hab-
it. Ifthe girls could know how utterly
every costly attire fails to increase the real
charms of a e and intelligence, and how
much it is calculated TO prevent thought
ful and prudent young men from marry
ing. we apprehend they would dress their
bodies less gaudify, and their minds more
richly. Taste, comfort aud beauty are al
ways admirable. Paste, gewgaws and
shallow displays are ever contemptible.-
The mistake lies in confoundilg the two
one with the other, as is too generally
done. 1t j. becoming the case that
young man, living on small lie ome. is
afraid to wed, because of the expenditures
in living would endanger his substance
and involve him in pecuniary difficulties
while men Of roguish impulses are very
apt to conclude it is cheaper to ruin wo-
man than to marry her. The prodigality
Of expenditure in dress opens the door to
numberless temptations, and produces
countless mistorLunes,
