recommended the keeping Of bees within the
limits of large towns. where they would
find iunumerable sources of honey in culti.
waited flowers and other wasted sweets. la
San Francisco, as we see by . late Catifor-
mia Farmer. large numbers OF swarms OF
bees have been established. and are doing
remarkably well. In all the upper part of
New York City bees would be as we'll kept
as in the country. and in almost every mod
crate sig I'd inland town, every family own
ing garden might own a stock of bees, and
make the keeping Of them pleasant and
prof of.able.-TIibune.

II is rather remarkable that all OF Doug
