WINTERING BEES.

Editor Watchmon-I am often en-
quired of concerning the best method of
wintering bees, and for the benefit of those
wishing information on that subject, I will
give my plan. Let the bees remain in the
Apiary where they have been during the
past season. Board up all around, so as
keep off the storms but not so tight as to-
prevent moderate circulation of pure air.
Place piece of board at the door of each
hive so as to break of the wind and ex-
clude light from the bees, but not so close
as to prevent free circulation of air.
Clean of the bottom board two or three
times during the winter.
1t is q very good plan however, to make
a hoop just the size of the bottom of the
hive, by mailing together four strips of
board about two inches in width then
place this hoop under the hive.
This gives clear space between the
comb and floor 50 that the rubbish and
excrement of the bees can drop down clear
of the comb, by which means the comb is
kept clean and dry, and supply of pure
air is ensured to the bees, a moderate
share of which is as necessary in winter
as in summer. Early in the spring re-
move this hoop from the hive, and clean
off the bottom board.

A WARNING TO EUcHRE PLAYERs.--A
young man of Milwaukee, who is very fond
of daughter of pillar in one of the
popular churches, was taking tea at the
house of his adorcd q few evenings since,
and had some fruit cake offered him.
Being somewhat confused on account Of
his situation as the cake was held out he
cried pass" The father hearing him,
and having played some in his younger
days, was horror-struck at the young mans
infatuation of the game, and thought he.
would teach him lesson, and said blunt,
ly, "You pass do you? then l order YOU
up, and there's the door," The Young
man sloped.

is to the owner. You might as well think
of having meal when you don't put corn
into the hopper, as milk and butter with
out plenty of fodder. There is nothing
like having good lot of flesh and fat to
start upon in the Spring, if you want to
make good dairy, and keep your cattlo
clear of disease. E
Yours to command,

get up to his room. However, when he
was there, he opened his box, and the
dwarfs all jumped out and cried -
Some work, Master; some work"
Garry me down into the yard" said
Nicholas, "I want some fresh air. and
my legs won't carry me-" So they took
him down and placed him on the ground,
saying again -
Some work, Master some work"
always that same accursed song p
said Nicholas "Well, pick up all the
chips that the stone-masons have been
making"
So the little redcaps filled every corner
Of the yard, and soon made heap Of all
the chips and then they ran back again
saying
Some work, Master some work !"
But Nicholas was snoring, and when
they had half awoke him, all he could say
was -
"Go to the Devil" "
At these words the little demons carried
off the unhappy tailor, and placed him
on heap of grt and chips which they
had collected, rolled him again and again
in it, and rubbed it into him till it had
reached his very marrow, and he became
stone. And then they placed him under
that turret where he stands to this day.

From the American Agriculturist.
FIN BUNKER ON CATTLE DISEASE.

"Guess she's got the cattle disease, by
the looks on her." said Uncle Jotham
Sparrowgrass, as he looked into Jake
Frink's yard last April at one of the
sorriest COWS ever seen in Hookcrtown.
She was down and unable to get up, had
lost her calf, and was very much down in
the mouth.
e" What kind of disease is that ?" asked
Jake, solemnly, evidently prepared to hear
the worst.
"Cattle disease. you fool" exclaimed
Ben Jones. "She is one Of the cattle, and
of course, if anything ails her, she's got
the cattle disease"
II rather think it's the crow all, sug-
gcstcd George Washington Tucker, as he
joined his neighbors in the COW yard, to
sympathizc with Jake in his afliction.
" At any rate, the crows will have a meet
ing on her case fore long, see if they
don't"
"Dreadfui Gavin in for'ard of the hips,
remarked Seth 'rwiggs, a Lucifer on the
wall and lit bis second pipe 81 shouldn't
wonder ifit was the Gaze, disease they We
had in Hookertown this twenty year"
at looks to me like the cattle disease
they arc having up in Massachusetts,. The
eyes are CLASSY, the hair on end, and the
breathing is fast" remarked Dea. Smith
They call it the plcuro-pneumonia,
believe" added Mr.. Spooner, who reads
agricultural papers as we'll as theology.
"Has it killed many cattle ?" asked
Jake with a troubled countcnance.
at has taken off a good many hundreds
and is spreading into this State, said the
pastor.
"Then she's got it, said Jake, "and
l shall lose her in spite Of all doctrin
Salt wont save her"
1.-THE crows will, though said Wash
Tucker, who clung to the crow all
as the only theory that cleared up tho
mysteries of her case.
81 guess she's got the slink-fever,
suggested Kier Frink, who had stopped
his coal cart, to see what the trouble was
"They have had it good deal on fathers
farm ever since | can remember. Cows
lose their calves, grow thin with a cough
and die"
"Now Jest tell us, neighbor Frink, what
that are cow has been fed on, for don't
want to feed mine the same way" said
Seth Twiggs.
"Well, she haint been fed high at all
She aint pizened with oil meal, or any oi
them feedin stuffs they bring up from the
city. You see I'm rather short ont fol
fodder and stable room, and kept the ole
COW on butts and swale hay all the fore
part Of Winter and foddcred her at thu
stack. She'd alters wintcred count vel
enuf, and | thought she was so tuff, she
wouldn't mind it. put her on to oat
straw about the middle of Winter, and
have kept her in the yard ever since, but
nussin don't seem to agree with the ole
crittcr. She alters was kontrary, blame
her. Guess she'll die jest out ofspite

you'll have no means OF SettlnS your
daughter married"
WELL then, let her be an old maid all
her life; | don't care"
Yes, it's possible you don't care but
how about her ?"
Poor Laurent set himeslf to think.
" There's great sight o'work to be done
here and l shall easily employ him for a
year and a day; he'll be awfully cunning
if he contrives to do all shall give
him."
"Wcll," he said at length, /"
You refuse?" said Satan.
"No, on the contrary | accept"
"Well, then, master, what shall l do ?"
"Finish this ditch, while 1 go and
rest"
As long as there were fields to be plowed
and sown, grass to be cut, corn to be
thrashed, and wagons to be built, all went
on well, and they were quite at their ease !;
but after eight days of hard labor, there
was not much left to be done, and tho fear
of finding nothing for his workman to do,
began to torment the good man, who look
ed at his daughter with fear and trembling.
Day and night he racked his brains to
find some means of occupying the activity
of Satan; he lost his appetite, and he
daily grew thinner and sadder.
But one morning, when he got up, he
had quite lost his gloomy and morose
manner, and seemed almost beside himself
with joy, and when his workman came to
ask for work, Laurent in careless manner
took him by the shoulder and said;--
81 am very well pleased with you, for
you work capitally; but | don't like you
to be always toiling so hard, so to-day,
I'm going to give you something to do
that won't tire you. Just 60 and fetch a
fork out of the stable, and I'll meet you
in the yard"
So while he was gone to the stable to
fetch the fork, Laurent went up into the
loft, and emptied down into the yard a
great sack of wheat, and then coming to
the door when Satan returned he said -
"Just throw me up this wheat with
your fork and I'll measure it into youl
sack"
So the devil went to work, plunging his
fork again and again into the heap O.
wheat, without picking up single grain
"Confound it p he cried out, with al
oath, "what dogs work have you giver
me here ?' and he leaned upon his fork il
despair
"Well my fine fellow" said Laurent
"if you won't do my work, you can g
and get some elsewhere, for I'm not going
to feed you for nothing! DO you under
stand? ?"
Yes, yes, understand" growlec
Satan, furious at being thus outwitted
81 will leave you, but III have my revenge
some day. And he disappeared.
A short time after this, o foreigner hav
ing bought this land, which the devil hat
put into such good condition, built upor
it the Castle of Kerleau, the ruins O
which are still standing, and Laurent
now became rich man, had no Longer
any difficulty in marrying his daughter
Jeanette, and was making preparation!
for her nuptials with rich young farmer
He was anxious to have magnifcen
wedding, and determined that everything
should be in the best style; so he bough
the finest cloth that could be found ant

It will be, doubtless, remembered how 1t
Was discovered, several months ago, that
some CT the guns which Floyd could not
Garry oH, either because they were too
heavy, or he had not time, he succeeded in
having sold as old iron; how when the pur.
ohasers took them 10 their furnaces to
break them up, the tough old guns refused
to be put to such ignoble use before their
time, and they we're thrown aside; and
how at last they were discovered and re-
covered, and taken back again to some
navy-yard to be put to their proper SER
vice, 10 be heard from in due season.

the vessels carried the Dahlgren guns
which Floyd, with premonition that they
would be playing the mischief in some sucf
achievement as this at Port Royal, had con
demued as old iron, and ordered to th'

rCorrespOndence of the Cincinnati Commercially
There are two prisons at the camp, one tenn
porary, the other permanent. The temporary
prison is made by inclosing with high fence,
several soldiers huts or cantonfhents, in
which the prisoners are quartered About
one hundred now under guard there, will be
removed to the permanent prison as soon as
an addition to it being constructed, is made
secure. The permanent prison consists Of
double row Of connected rooms, aboct the
size, highth and style of the hC.s ct Camp
Denn;son, in yard not less thu, one hum
dred feet square, which is made by high
and strong fence, at opposite corners Of which
diagonally are guard-honse5 overlooking the
yard and huts, and the immediate country
round about The rooms are provided with
six or eight hunks, in each of which two
prisoners sleep. Most Of them hsve straw
beds to cover the boards which COMPOSE their
hunks, and all have blankets furnished BY
the Government In msjority CT the rooms
small stoves have lately been placed, but
though the boards of the hut have been bat
tened, there is an abundant chsncs for the
circulation of air, which becomes tainted
with the refuse deposited within ths iaclo-
sure.
The prisoners are furnished with camp ket-
Ies soldiers rations are served ont to them
regularly, and they cook their meals at camp
fires, which they are permitted to make on a
line midway between their hUts and the
fence which cuts off their view of the 'out-
side world. was in the prison when they
were taking their supper. They had potEtoe5,
pork, hOminy, good coffee with sugar, and
good bread. They have rice instead of hom-
my, if they wish Ii, and Occasionally are
served fresh OF corned beef Most ot them
wore one or more army garments, furnished
by the government-sOme shirts, others pam
falcons, and nearly all overcoats. Whatever
clothing is really needed the government
supplies; and almost without exception they
need something. They wash their own
clothes chiefly, and this exercise Is extremely
distasteful to many OF them; so much so that
few Of them need more of it than thsy will
take.
Regular medical attendance is provided for
the prison, and whenever one of the prisoners
is sick be is removed to the hospital, and well
cared for. Between twenty and thirty are
now sick there with the measles or chilIs and
fever.
There are now two hundred and seventy
stx prisoners in the quarters have described.
Nine were sent in this morning. Three have
died there since the prison was established.
