The FARMER s WIFE lis there
any position a mother can covet for
her daughter, more glorious than
to be the wife of an honest, indie
pendent. happy farmer, in a coun-
try like this ? To be the wife of
one who is looked up to by the
neighbors as one whose example
may be safely folIowed--one whose
farm is noted far and near as q mod
ell of neatness and perfection of cul.
tivation? To be mistress ofaman-
sion other own, that may be the en-
Wy of every passer-by, because it is
neat and comfortable--a sweet and
lovely home?
To be the angel that fits through
the garden, bidding the flowers
bloom, AMI twining roses and hon
ey suckles around the bedroom, or
sweetcning their fragrance with the
sweetest smile; or spreading the
snowy cloth beneath the OAK at. the
door to welcome her husband as he
returns from his toll; or even tip
ping the cradle with her foot as she
plies the dasher with her hand, or
busily moves the needle, at the
same time humming joyous song
of praise that she is a happy and
beloved wife of an American far
mer --one of the true noblemen of
this free country--one that should
by right, rank as the pride and glo-
ry of AmerIca.-RardI World.

CRITICISM.

Editors Fayette County Herald;
/ notice that ga Young Teacher
has favored us with q few excellent
criticisms. l am much pleased with
his criticisms and the spiritin which
they are made. !, therefore, glad
ly accept the one he made on my
article, and thank him for 1t; not
because / did not kno,o better, but
because | carelessly and hastily did
not do better. The use of qUiU in
stead of shall in the indicative, FIJI
ture, first person, is a common but
reprchcnsible error; because these
auxiliaries should be thus used only
in potential sense. 82E
l shall return the compliment,
as | do not wish to be thought un-
grateful for a kindness, and give
the critic the benefit of a "sugges-
ton" In his article, l find this
Trusting that the writers will ac
cept Of criticisms in the SAM spirit,
&c" We doubt not the writer, on
reviewing it, would omit aof''
would also submit, if it would
not be better to substitute, in the
first sentence, ian Increasing inter

Also, "The sentence, as we under
stand it, is simply tndicativo, DC"
Should not "Seutence" read mode? ?
We have decIqrative, interroga-
tive, imperative, explanatory, and,
perhaps, conditi 5nal sentences but

From the Ohio Farmer
Bees Killed by Hornets.

Having noticed in several of tht
agricultural papers, lately, the in
quiry, "What has become of the
Bees p I am induced to say some
thing on the subject
| see that the death of the bees
is attributed by several writer's tc
the cold, wet spring of 1868, whicI
prevented their laying up an early
store of honey; consequently they
died of starvation, or if they sur
vived, were too weak to resist the
rttack OF the moth, etc. We have
had many springs as wet and cole
as the last; still our bees have no
died. Now can you tell us why thC
bees should be so inconsistent ?
Perhaps the writers have not watch
ed the bees closely.
Now | want to tell you what kill
ed the bees of Ross and Pickaway
counties last summer. The assas-
sin was the hornet! Did you ever
hear of such a thing before? VIZ
never have; but it is nevertheless {
fact. | saw it done myself, and
scores of my acquaintances testify
to the same in regard to their bees.
Last summer l had eight stands
of hnoe. Kept them in the common
box hive at some distance from the
house. They seemed to be doin-
very well, and sent off sgvera
swarms, until the latter part ot
June, whtn | noticed them behav
ing strangely. They were in great
commotion, flying all about the
hives, sometimes leaving the hives
and settling on trees and bushes
near by, from whence they would
return again to the hives. Upon
paying some attention to them, l
found hundreds of hornets flying
about, killing the bees and entering
and returning from the hives
This continued several days, during
which l found my bees rapidly de,
creasing in number. | concluded
they would do no good, so l killed
seven stands, from which ] got a
reasonable quantity Of honey
The remaining stand, which appear
ed to be quite strong yet, l remov.
ed TO a spot near the house, where
| could conveniently watch it. The
hornets followed the hive. | stop
ped up the holes in the hives so that
only bees could pass. Still the
hornets would come to the hive
each morning, remain duling the
day, and kill every bee that ventur-
ed out. | frequently kept my eye
on one hornet while he would kill
half dozen or more bees.
This continued some time, and as
l could not TRACE the roymintS to
their holes nor prevent their com
ing, l killed the few remaining bees,
and got about forty pounds Of hon
ey from the hive.
Almost every bee-kceper within
an area of several miles around me
has been treated in the same man
ner, but never until last summer
During the winter, since the leaves
fell from the trees, have noticed a
greater number of hornets nests
than ever before.
Now / would like to know if the
'avages of the hornet have been
to my immediate vicinity,
Dr. has the like occurred in other
parts of the State, or in other
States? And how can we in the
'uture prevent the evil. Respect
