ordered to make out and report to the commander
Of the regiment list Of the Shareholders in the

We do not know where Secretary Stan

Wholesale trafiiicking in able-bodied male

slave property insecure.
As there has been no appropriation by
Congress to enable Mr.. Stanton to 20 into

The Apiary..Iale OF bees in March.
AS in February, disturb bees as little
as possible when cold, but keep the en-.
trance clear of dead bees. If in common
hives, turn the board over that they have
stood on. If this is not practicable, tip
the hive or gum and brush off all dirt,
(viz: dead bees, pieces of comb, &c) Do
it gently, and in fact, let all your move.
ments about the bees and hive be gentle.
Bees that have been in winter quarters
should this month be put out on the ex-
act stands that they occupied last sum
mer, for bees remember over winter -
Do this when the weather is mild and
warm; do it, if possible, between 10 !.
III. and noon. Take the super or capand
honey board off, that they may alf

worth anything will return IL - 4

or the broomstick may be forthconib
Bees that are in dark, cool, quiet Dlace,|
and they are still and no bad flavor sbont
the hive had better remain till the
weather is settled little. A bent wire,
two feet long, answers good purpose TO
clean the Langstrath hive. l prefer the
last of March or the first Of April, when
the weather is warm, to take an empty
hive, set it on the stand of No. |, take
all the frames, bees and all out and hang
them in the empty hive; place them in
the new hive exactly as they were in the
old hive. But few bees will remain in
the old hive. Lcok carefully for the
queen. If you find her in the old hive
gently brush her with feather, and the
rest of the bees into the new one. If the
comb is crooked make it straight with
knife, whether honey or empty comb
Take out all the drone comb and save it
carefully, and will tell, in future
number, what to do with it; one empty
hive will answer for one hundred colonies,

inches high, for 20 colonies, with a quart
