ing 50 bad for the farmer-lor instance, hav-
ing too much work to do, calling for his
help in all directions, overpowering him at
last, so that much of the work must be left
undone, or but half done. Is not this the
case, oh my friends? You know it by a sad
experience-and you are going 10 continue
the thing? You think, at is hard TO get
out Of il; have the land on my hands, and
] am so situated that the work-has me-"
And so you keep on.
Now, If you had little home, where you
could look at everything with full attention
time to think it over, and time do il, and
then 20 do il right-would not that make you
happier The very thought Of snugness-
everything in its place, and place for eve
rything-would give you such a refreshing
sense, that you would be contented and
happy almost before you were aware. Then
you could live; then you would have time
10 live, with little time for other purposes
visiting, recreation, etc. And while the
writer would curtail too large farms, he
would have them so arranged as to have a
good and proper place for everything and
everything 10 have room. The farmer
should have room for everything; nothing
be crowded. Crowded cattle will hook each
other will propagate disease. Hens hud-
died together will not lay-but viii gather
vermin. So with grass, grain and vegeta-
bles; crowded they will spindle, and shrink,
and never fully mature, because their full
energies were not permitted to develop. They
lack elbow-room they lack sun; they are
crowded, stunted.

These large profits are not to be expected
from every strong family; they are what
sonstimes occur; but il we take the apiaries
Of a whole State, or a section Of State, into
the account, we shall find that s. per family
is as much profit as is obtained generally,
including the increase by swarms, and what
surplus honey they could store up. For in
stance, il you have 20 families in the spring,
and sell 500 worth Of surplus honey in the
fall, and keep the number Of your families
good, by increase in swarms, it is about as
much as you can expect, taking one season
with another.
There are always more or less losses in the
number Of hives Of bees kept These losses
occur generally in the winter season. Ere
quently one-half to three-fourth of all in
the apiary perish by severe cold weather,
OF from lack of honey TO feed on. But
when bees perish by cold weather, it is gen.
orally the fault of the owner, in not pro-
tecting them.

THICK AND TuIN SEEDING


We need further andaccurate experiments
TO prove the precise amount of advantage
which may result from n thicker seeding
than usual Any one who walks across
field Of clover and observes bare patches in
every part, will be convinced that a loss is
sustained from want Of more seed. He
will estimate the loss according to the
amour. of bare surface; in doing so, be will
invariably make it too small, as Struggling
plants may cover and hide the earth with
a growth not half so heavy and dense as it
viii actually sustain. For this reason valu-
able information TO every farmer would be
derived from series Of exper hents with
varying quantities of seed, and weighing the
products. The quantity of hay raised an
nually in the United States has been esti-
mated at 10000, 000tons, worth $500, 900, 900.
An equal amount of pasture would make
the whole grass crop worth about
S400,000,000. If this annual growth could
be increased above It's present amount, as
three is 10 two, 1t would be an annual in
crease equal 10 the cost of six or eight such
canals as the great Erie canal between
Buffalo and Albany.
The subject is, at least worthy Of investi-
cation. Our own observations and expert
nents have satisfied US that, on the majority
Of the farms in this country, a greater in
crease than here stated could be reached by
an addition in cost in seed equal TO one-tenth
Of the increased value. In other words, il
would be quite safe 10 estimate the value of
this improvement il generally adopted. at
500, 1000 900 year. A series of careful ex-
periments, widely published, would prove
great public benefit. What Agricultural
Society or ten individuals will undertake the
task? But there is another advantage in
thickly seeding grass. When the growth is
thin, especially upon rich land, il is coarse
and harsh, and disliked by domestic animals.
This is chief reason why old pastures are
regarded better than new ones. But il close
ly seeded, the growth viii be fine and soft,
and the objection will be in a great measure
removed. When we come 10 apply this reas-
oning to grain crops, there are other consid-
erations involved The fineness of growth
Is not here anobject, but large product alone.
On the land which is poor, or which posses
- moderate fertility, strong and vigorous
plants cannot be produced. They will not
grow so tall nor branch nor tiller so much.
The deficiency must, therefore, be made up
with an increased quantity Of seed. This is
the reason of the fact frequently observed
that farmers whose land has been raised TO a
higher degree Of fertility, do not ind it ne
cessary 10 SOW 50 many bushels of wheat or
oats per acre, as those who possess poor land.
II IL worthy Of experiment TO determine
where the limit should be in both instances.
In raising grain the amount Of the product
in seed is alone TO be taken into considera-
ton, and hence thinner seeding for rich
soil may prove the most profitable. But in
raising grass thick seeding is absolutely
necessary 10 give fine quality to the fodder.

BEES AND THEIR PROFITS.

The editor Of the Rural American, T. B.
Miner, is authority upon bees, having writ
ten work upon those interesting little in
sects. The profits they return for the care
bestowed upon them, are thus alluded 20 in
late number Of his journal
When honey bees are properly managed,
the profits derived from them are large, in
comparison with she capital invested, IL the
location be good one for white clover and
other bee pasturage. There is, however, a
greater liability 20 suffer losses by bee-keep-
ing, when large number of hives are kept
in the same place, than when few are kept
Such losses are not in consequence Of the
bees not being able 10 obtain a supply Of
honey, where viii te clover is abundant, but
but occur by families of bees robbing each
other, and from the fact that small apiaTy
sends of more swarms, in proportion to its
numbers. than n large one does. The owner
of a few hives Of bees can easily attend 10
the weaker families, and prevent robbing;
but when one has from so TO 200 hiFes, he is
more apt to allow some Of the weaker fami
lies TO be robbed Of their stores, by the
stronger ones and when robbing is fairly
initiated, where many weak families exist,
il is very difficult 10 proven. wholesale de-
struction Of them, and thus it is that the
profits on a large apiary are seldom in pro-
portion 10 a small one Now, we will come
to the point-the profits ordinarily obtained
on honey bees.
One has, for instance, 10 TO 20 hivesin the
spring of the year, all in good condition,
strong in numbers, and not short Of honey.
The surplus honey that is stored in caps for
market sale is about Is lbs for each family.
Some viii store up 80 or 40 lbs, and others
may not produce over 10 or 10 lbs; or per-
haps none at all, 80 that the average will be
about Is lbs each. This honey may be val
ned at 20 cts. per pound, making the profit
Of each hive SIS, which is 100 per cent. on
the capital invested.
But there is profit also in the increase of
families; every swarm is worth S. that fills
its hive with combs; and frequently, each
early swarm stores up, on an average, % lbs.
Of cap honey, which gives a profit Of SIS to
$25 sometimes on a single old stock, as be-
low stated:

CULTURE OF THE PEANUT IN NORTH CARO-
LIMA

CULTURE OF THE PEANUT IN NORTH CARO-
LIMA.
The North Carolina Advertiser gives these
facts regarding the cultivation of this nut,
which is the chief delight of news-boys and
country railroad travellers:
For many years past the ground pea has
been a most important element of commerce
in the Cape Fear country-the annual eN-
portation 20 the Northern States and Cana
ada considerably exceeding 100000 bushels.
A single planter in one Of our eastern coun-
ties obtained from il a yearly income Of
$4,000. He raised from 80 10 75 bushels 20
the acre, and cultivated FIVE acres TO the
hand, which at 81 10 the bushel-the ordi-
nary price, though 81 IS was frequently re-
aliEed-yielded an income of $3.50 TO $500
10 the hand. No such result under the old
system Of labor could be obtained with
staples on similar soil Our cotton planters
oontented themselves with a crop yielding
from SD 90 SIS per acre, and il was sum
ming up on n large surface that gave living
result. The cultivation Of no crop is SO easy,
and only the simplest implements are re-
quired; at first, the pillow 60 break the land,
and then simply the sweep and wedding hoes.
The average erDp, as we have stated is from
hfy 20 seyenty-fve bushels 20 the acre, be-
sides which there win be enough left in the
ground 20 fatten one hundred pounds of
pork.
The vine. when the pea is removed, makes
an excellent forage for cattle, said TO be
equal 10 the best Northern hay. From the
nut IL expressed valuable oil. During the
war Just ended, this oil was extensively
used in our machine shops, and lis luttics-
tory properties are pronounced by compe-
tent authority 60 be superior 10 those Of
whale oil, for the reason that il does not
gum al all. One Of the qualities Of the oil
i extensively employed in the composition
Of medicine; another Is used for burning
purposes and possesses the virtue Of not
smoking, while third makes really ex-
ccllent salad condiment. Such, and so va
ried and important are the uses 10 which
this simple product can be devoted uses
which the uniformed, who have, perhaps,
regarded IL only in the light Of an indigesti-
BILE bulb, would never suspect TO proceed
from, ia cultivation.
