I,Iace for an ApiarN.

While every rural home is favored with
a suitable place for a few stocks OF bees,
| would advise the novice tcChoosc spot
agreeing, as near as possible, with the
shady trees, the limbs of which are not
so low or dense as TO interfere with the
flight of the bees, away from the
dusty roads, and from places where horses
and cattle are accustomed To stand, on the
southeast side of a gently sloping hill
near running water, with grove OF
trees or a high hill northwest of it. If
such a place can be found, il is the most
desirable place for that purpose. Hives
NAV have their entrances in almost any
direction; vet to have them face south or
east is preferable. The sun shining against
the entrance induces bees to begin their
labor early, and winds coming from these
directions are more mild. Plant trees, if
not already favored with them, and set
one or two hives under each tree. The
common MOrellO cherry is a good variety
for the purpose. Never set the hives
against old buildings or fences, as they
are generally infested with spiders, roach
cs. ants, millers, etc. The best apiarians
condemn bec-houscs as Improbable; the
cost of construction, and the loss of young
queens killed while attempting to enter
the wrong hive, on returning from the
meeting with the drones, caused by crowd
ing hives closely together, and the lack Of
a free circulation of air, are a few of TIN
many objections 10 bee-hOuscS. Be,

uin1s nI,oul StabIes.

In the greater part of the United States,
the stabling of stock in winter is neccs-
sitv and it would be a decided improve
ment in some other sections where it has
never been applied. Great improvements
have been made in the construction OF
stables within the last few years, especial
Iv in the manner of erecting feeding
trouohs. The high racks formerly erected
over The heads of horses and cattle, from
which they had to draw their food, scat
terinr hay. seeds, and dust over their
heads and into their eyes, have in great
measure been discarded No one thinks
of erecting them in newly built stables
at this day, and where they stu hold a
place in old ones, troughs should be sub
stituted. Besides the injurious effects
above named, the animal is obliged to as
sumo an unnatural position to reach Us
food, and after reaching it, must change
its position to maSticate and swallow II.
We advise every one who still retains
those racks in his stables to have them ne
moved and substituted by troughs of mod
/ crn plans, which are very simple and wei
| suited to the uses for which they are in
| tended: and 10 DO uns now, before III
! feeding season commences. If the i'm
provement is postponed until then, ther
are nine chances to one that it will not b,
done and the poor animals viii have +

Treatment of Hams.

Mr. Strphen Bowman, Rensselaer, county,
Now York. having in early life become
dissatisfied with ordinary ham and bacon,
tried to improve upon them, and at last
concluded lac could accomplish his pur-
nose by smoking the tub instead of the
meat. He is satisfied with his plan,
which he has practiced for fittytwo
wear. and communicates il substantially
a. follows Place the tub over small
lirr made of corn C0hs, green walnut, or
rock maple. and smoke for about four
hours. For one hundred pounds OF meat,
use four Quarts of salt, two ounces OF
saltpetrc, and two pounds of sugar. Be
fore the meat Is pun into the tub, rub a
little salt i'm near the homes, and place a
mart of the salt in the smoked tub; then
put i'm the meat rather loosely, cover with
cold water, and put in the sugar saltpetre,
aud the remainder Of the salt The hams
win he ready for use in three weeks. The
above is for cold weather; rs warm
weather comes on more salt is TO he adj
dad and if a stronger flavor of smoke is
rpuIirei remove the meat and brine, and
smoke the tub again. Beef may be put
in the tub with the hams, and in about
aiv weeks taken out 10 dry. Mr.. Il,
,Ioims that this method is easier, cheaper
ami hotter than the usual way, and tina
the hams are completely kept from III,

Preventing Damage 10 Farm Fields

. The ground is often injured, and the
season of blowing is often delayed, on ac-

fields there are considerable plots Of
ground which remain in a miry or soggy

Fouuanurinp oFIand.

\ correspondent of the Rural NcW
Yorker gives his experience, as follows:
Il drew large portion of my barn
yard manure, which had been piled in the
yard through the summer, on aclOver and
timothy sod which was planted this sea-
son. The manure was thrown in piles
from the wagon, and in November lhadit
spread over the sod. 1t lay thus until the
usual time May for blowing corn, etc,
this last spring. The effect of themanurc
was very marked on the crops grown dur
inc the past season on the field. These
were corn, potatoes and beans. Not hav-
ing enough manure to cover the entire field.
il was placed on the poorer portions,
Every load of manure made its mark on
the crops, to an extent far exceeding any
effect from blowing under coarse manure
in the spring which | ever saw. The seed
terminated quick, the plants grew with
vigor, and the crop matured early. This
experiment satisfied me that more benefit
is derived from manure applied in the fall
TO sod ground which is to be planted the
following year, than TO pillow under al
equivalent amount fresh from the yard IL
| the spring.
Let us consider the philosophy of this
effect briefly Manure spread on the
ground so late in the season as November
loses nothing by decomposition. The cold
prevents that from taking place. But the
moisture of winter and spring dissolve:
the soluble elements Of the manure, anC
carries them into the soil. These ele
ments are arrested and retained mostly
and probably wholly by the first siA
inches of top soil. When the seed il
planted, il finds, in its first growth, foo
in the precise condition it demands 1
need not wait till midsummer, as wOulC
be the case with fresh manure, for 1t t
! decOmpose and become available. Hence
the crop starts early and vigorously, Is
capcs the effect of the usual summe
lrouth, and natures in good time. Stecl
side-hilIS from which manure would b

economy of this method of manuring
but in most cases farmers win find grca

Hsafr Oil.

The frequent use of coils" "bcar's
| grease, " sarctusine, !" "pomadcs, g lus-
| trails, - rosemary washes, etc, etc,
upon the hair, is practice not to be
! commended. All of these oils and greasy
pomades are manufactured from lard oil
and simple lard No "bear's grease is
| ever used If it could be procured readily,
it should not be applied to the hair, as it
is the most rank and filthy of all the ami
NAL fats. There are many persons whose
hair is naturally very dry and crisp, and
| in nOst families there is a want of some
innocent and agreeable wash or dressing
which may be used moderately and judi
ciously. The mixture which may be re-
garded as tie most agreeable, clearly and
safe, is composed of cologne spirit
! and pure castor oil. The follow
ing is good formula: Pure
| fresh castor oil, or; cologne spirit (95
| per cent, y 16 OF. The oil is freely dis
solved in the spirit, and the solution is
| clear and beautiful. 1t may be perfumed
in any way to suit the fancy of the
| purchaser. The oil of the castor bean
has for many years been employed to
dress the hair, both among the savage
and civilized nations, and it possesses
properties which admirably adapt it to
this use. It does not rapidly dry, and no
gummy, offensive residuum remains after
taking on the chemical changes which oc
cur in all oils upon exposure to light and
air. 1t is best diffused by the agency of
strong spirit, in which it dissolyes. The
alcohol or spirit rapidly evaporates, and
does not in the slightest degree injure the
texture of the hair. This preparation, for
! dressing the hair of children or ladies.
will meet nearly or quite all requirements
A cheap and very good dressing is made
| by dissolying four ounces of perfectly
pure, dense glycerine in II ounces of rose
water. Glycerine cyaporates only at high
Temperatures, and therefore under its in
! f1uence the hair is retained in a moist con-
| dition for long time. As a class, the
| vegetable oils are better for the hair than
animal oils They do not become rancid
and offensive so rapidly, and they are sub
iect to different and less Objectionable
| chemical changes. Olive oil and that de
rived from the coacoanut have been
largely employed, but they are inferior in
every respect to that from the castorbean.

Darkness is injurious to the animals
health, which is easily proven by yegeta-
bles growing in dark places. Light is one
of the great agencies that imparts health
and Yigor to both the animal and vegeta-
bic system, and being 50 very cheap,
ought to be literally supplied. All stable
windows should be glazed in movable
sash, and of such size as to admit full
flow of light. The division of light and
darkness as measured by day and night,
should be the governing rule in both the
animal and vegetable economy.
Free VentildtiGos of pure atmospheric
air should be prominent feature in every
stable. Without this the best state of aniss
NAL health cannot be maintained There
are so many plans of accomplishing this,
that each farmer may choose the one that
best suits his views. The great question
