Profits OF nce Kccpiug.

Mr.. II. IL. Davis, practical farmer,
and one of our subscribers, who has a
large and well managed farm at Laronc,
in somerset county, furnishes us with the
following notes relating to the profits OF
his small apiary during the year lS60:
In the Spring Of that year. Mr.. DAVIS
had four swarms, which being wintered
through, he valued at five dollars cash,
or twenty dollars. These four swarmS,
sent out during tho season ten new
swarms. eight of which were worth, in
the Fall, four dollars each, or thirty two
dollars. The other two swarms, had net
honey to Winter on 1t was, therefore,
strained and sold (hirty pounds), at ten
cents per pound, which omounted to
three dollars. From the eight new
swarms, Mr. Davis sold two hundred
and fifty eight pounds OF box honey, at
twelve and half cents per pound,
amounting to thrty.two dollars and
twenty five cents. There was also some
wax made, not taken into the Account
The old stocks of bees were rcckoncd at
four dollars each in the Fall, the same as
the new swarms. This gives clear
profit of SCI 25, from four swarms in
one season. Who can give better ac-
count from a small lot of Uees?--Najne
Farmer.
