Attend to Your Fences.

As Spring approaches everybody is
desirous Of fixing up the fences around
their houses and making them look as
we'll as possible. Nothing will do this
bette. and at the same time IS cheaply as
whitewash. Whitewash is one of the
most valuable articles in the world when
properly applied. 1t prevents not only
the decay of wood, but conduces greatly
to the healthiness of all buildings whether
of wood or stone. Outbuildings and
fences, when not painted, should be sup
piled once or twice year with q good
coat of whitewash, which should be pre-
pared in the following way:
Take a clean water-tight barrel, or
other suitable cask, and put into it a half
bushel of lime. Slake it by pouring wa.
ter over it, boiling hot, and in sufficient
quantity to cover it FIVE inches deep, and
stir it briskly until thoroughly Stacked.
When the Stacking has been effected, dis.
solve it in water, and add two pounds of
sulphate of zinc, and one of common
salt. These will cause the wash to harden,
aud prevent it cracking, which gives an
unseemly appearance to the work. If
desirable, beautiful cream color may
be communicated to the above wash, by
adding three pounds of yellow ochre; or
a good pearl or lead color, by the addi-
tic of lamp vine or ivory black. For
fawn color, add four pounds of umber,
Turkish or American, the latter is the
cheapest, one pound of India red, and one
pound common lamp-black. This wash
may be applied with common whtewash
brush, and will be found much superior,
both in appearance and durability, to CON-
mon whtewash.

THE CULTIVATION OF Flowers
DIRECTIONS FOR THE MONTH OF
MARCH.-Those who have tulip and
hyacinth buds may, as the warm
weather approaches, though it Is not
common to have much of it 10 this
month, begin to remove the prOtec-
ton which has been thrown over them
during the Winter. This, however.
should not be done too suddenly.
The protection around tender roses
may also be removed by degrees. A

early flowers. This should be effect

The Culture Of Bees.

At a recent meeting of the Farmers
Clsb of Franklin County, the Presi-
dent Of the Club made the following
just and sensible remarks
There is no branch IF rural econo-
my which is so much neglected and
so little understood as the rearing of
bees. The Importance will be appre-
ciated, when It Is made plain that,
with judicious and intelligent man
agemeut, they can be made to pay the
interest on cur State debt n010, and
the principal in a few years. There
are nearly forty thousand square miles
of territory IN the State of Ohio, each
square mile of which will sustain one
hundred and fifty colonies of bees,
which will make an aggregate of six
million colonies. Each of these colo
MES will produce an average of thirty
pounds of surplus honey, making one
hundred and eighty million pounds of
honey; taking the average price at
ten cents. per pound, it viii amount
to eighteen million dollars.
This is an important result when
we take into consideration that its
production does not diminish a single
iOta Of any other production. 1t is
claimed that one-third more could be
obtained by introducing the Italian
bee; but, In my opinion, this cannot
be done without concert of action on
the part of all bee keepers.
AS to che management of bees. it is
best to have a hive with movable
frames, and a convenient means of
feeding; then watch them closely, and
if it Is found that they are not work
ing properly, it is best to examine the
hiEe in detail, and the cause OF the
working will, in all probability, be
found to be either the loss of the
queen, or the presence of the worm
or moth. The moth must be removed,
and a queen furnished. But if per-
sons owning bees are disposed to neg
lect them, then such persons should
never NEEDLE with patent hives, but
should make a hive Of good clear ~
inch lum ber-make the hive, say, 20
inches high and 10 inches square;
place on a fiat rock close 20 the
ground; bore a II inch hole In the
top. put on a box with glass In the
end, and a slide to keep out the light.
1t will soon be filled; then replace il
with another. Give them plenty of
salt; the bees like it and the moth
don't.

TO the Editors ~ the Lexington (Ky)
StatesB5 AM
We have heard Of the great drouth
IN Kentucky this year, and it Is well
known that the tendency to droutE
increases yearly In our State and other
parts of America. The causes of this
are we'll known. 1t is the destruction
of the forests The forests not only
prevent rapid evaporation Of the rain
water creeks and ponds, but by the
fallen leaves hinder the waters from
rapidly passing into the rivers, and
thus allow time for the water to soak
into the soil and rocks, and to fructi-
fly vegetation
The large wastes in Asia, which
we're once well known to have been
very productive, and full of large
cities and dense in pOpu alton, are
evidently owing to this loss of the
forests. Mountainous ia illnesses, full
