BEES EASILY MANAGED. Bee keepers do
not yet seem to understand that bees may be
made perfectly subseryient to their master s
will. They can be rendered as harmless IS so
many flies. An application of the axiom,
" Bees when gorged with liquid sweets never
volunteer an attack" is all that is needed in
order to handle them with perfect impunity,
even to tearing their hive all to fragments BY
pecemesl. When the bees have plenty of
stores, close the hive so that no bee can es .
cape. Rap smartly on the hive few times
After two or three minutes repeat the opera
ton. In the course Of ten or fifteen minutes
the bees will have filed themselves with hon
ey. You can then open the hive and perform
any operation you wish without danger of be-
lug stung. If you have a bar or frame hive,
remove the top quietly, and sprinkle the bees
with water made quite sweet with sugar. Az
ter allowing them time to fill themselves, you
can proceed to remove the frames, or perform
any manipuations necessary. But the easiest
way to manage them is to quietly puff little
smoke into the hive (tbat from tobacco is the
BEST, and they are at once rendered perfectly
tame and agreeable. The easiest way is to
have apipe made on purpose 20 blow through,
instead of by " suction, as in common smok-
ing. BY means of this pipe, any one, though
not smoker, can subject his bees to the
soothing effect of tobacco smoke and deprive
them of all disposition to sting. Combs can
be removed, worms destroyed, artificial
swarms made, surplus honey removed and all
operations performed without tie operator
having on any " bee hat" or other protection
to guard against their sting. If no bees are
injured by squeezing or otherwise, no resent
ment will be shown. Do not use too much
smoke, as it will stupefy the bees. Bees seem
to forget all about what you may do when
they are under the influence Of smoke, and
will manifest no anger when afterwards APP
preached, as they would do if you operated
upon them without first subjecting them to
this tanning process.
EGGs IN WINrER-We have noticed that
mild winter, with little or no snow a sea-
son in which the ground is much bare and
wsrm; is the season for eggs. Last winter,
hens were laying in all directions merchants
we're largely stocked with fresh eggs. Will
not our friends take hint here, and convert
all winters into egg-laying winters that is,
by artificial means, make a mild winter for
your hens.
Slug-worms are said to have invaded Aus

A joker, on hearing that certain persons
were mutilatng the copper cent, by cutting
out the head and wearing it as a breast pin
