GETTING Bees out of Boxes.

To get bees out Of boxes, and yet save
all the young bees, is quite an item to the
bee keeper. I have seen a number OF ways |
recommended whereby one would lose half
or nearly so, of all the bees in the boxes.
There is one that has been going the rounds
Of the papers, to take the boxes when TAX
en- off and put them into an empty barre.
with the entrance of the boxes so that the
bees can get out, and then spread black
cloth over the barrel, leaving small open
ing on one side for them to crawl out
Now half of these bees are so young that
they know nothing where to go, having
never marked their location. This is not
a mere theory it can be proved. Step
this way to this hive Twenty-eight days
ago, introduced an Italian queen into 1t.
There are none Of the bees as yet over sew
en- days old, and none have been seen to
fly out to play, and mark their location as
they will in few days, yet you see half of
all the bees in the boxes are Italians.
If you take these boxes off now, and put
them in barrel as spoken~of, where will
those young bees go to? They will most
of them undoubtedly be lost. 1 have tax
en- off box before now by way of expert
ment-taken it away from the hive and
drove the bees out with smoke, and part
Of them would stay around there and starve
to death, whilst others would try to enter
other hives and be killed. The best plan
that 1 am acquainted with for taking off
boxes, is to raise one edge just enough to
blow a little smoke under, and the bees
will leave the holes which you can cover
up, and put on an empty box. Commence
just at night, time enough to take off as
many as you wish before dark, as the box
es may bother the bees, going out and in,
if taken off earlier and as fast as taken of
rap them gently four or five times to alarm
the bees, then set them on half inch blocks
six inches from the hive, and by morning,
if the weather is usually warm, they will
generally be clear of bees. BY this meth
Cd you lose no bees whatever, as they all
return to the hive-Cor. qt Am 1gricul-

SEWING MACHINE FOLKS
LOOK HERE!

The American Button Hole Overcoming and
Sewing Machine Company, Philadelphia. have
prOduceu anew Shuttle Sewing Machine which is
SIMPLER THAN ANY SINGLETHREADER
Anybody can run it. The feed can be raised
or lowered for light or heavy work.
No more bother with the old style shuttle
with Its crude, incOuvenient and difficult tension
adjustment produced by threading through q
row of holes, attended with veXirg uncertainty,
great expense of ume and breaking thread.
The Improved Shuttle admits of being instant
ly adjusted by the inexperienced with any de-
gree Of tension required for sewing anything
from LKATHER to ONE THICKNESS OF
TISSUE PAPER, (see samples.) These Ma
chimes make the Lock Stitch alike on both sides
of the york, are large, strong and roomy, and are
supplied with extra cloth plate and leather nee
dies, for sewing leather, if desired.
Their superior workmanship, style OF finish,
durability, speed, and power, running stilier ana
easier than other shuttle machines, attract the
attention and elicit the admiration of machinists
and mechanics everywhere. This, and the fact
that it is almost impossible to make them break
the thread or miss a stitch commends them to
the general favor Of all.
Ifyou desire to secure the best Shuttle Ma
chine in Market don't fail to see them before
purchasing.

Sturgeon Urges Christian Activity.

Young man, is itthy morning? Art thou
just converted? Is the dew of penitence
still trembling on the green blade? Hast
thou just seen the first radiance which
streams from the eyelids of the morning
Hast thou heard the joyous singing of
birds? Up with thee, man, and serve thy
God with the love thine espousals Serve
him with all thine heart! Or hast thou
known thy Lord now so long that it is
noon with thee, and the burden and heat
of the day are on thee? Use all thy dill
gence, make good speed, for thy sun will
soon decline. And hast thou long been a
christian? Then the shadows lengthen, and
thy sun is almost down. Quick with thee,
man, let both thine hands be used. Strain
every nerve, put evey sinew to the stretch.
Do all, at all times and in all places, that
thine ingenuity can devise, or thy zeal can
suggest to thee, for the night cometh when
no man can work.

How Wool makes Its Growth

The growth of wool is probably more
entirely under control than any other part
of the body, and gives more permanent in
dication of any influences which operates
upon it. Its mode of growth and its source
of nourishment are so completely under
the system of management adopted, that
we can, with care, improve its quality, and
regulate its general character.
The manner in which wool makes its
general growth is exceedingly simple. We
find beneath the skin a series of simple
cells, from one ofwhich each fibre of wool
emanates. 1t may be compared to a mi
mute onion, with its rising stalk. This
fibre of wool, after commencing its outward
growth, has to penetrate through the pores
of the skin it then becomes visible to the
eye, and by its extended growth clothes
the animal with a covering, varying in
character according to the circumstances
of its growth. Like every other organic
structure, it needs suitable nutriment, up
on which it may feed, and from which il
may extract the materials required fol
building up its frame work. This nutri-
ment is secured by the small cells, by which
the wool is rooted beneath the skin, which
absorbs all that the wool requires from the
blood circulating beneath them. This viii
tend to show how the nourishment of WOO
is so much under our control. If the blooc
does not contain the materials required tol
the wool, it is simply impossible for any
growth to be secured. The cells carfno
absorb the necessary supplies ifnot present
ed to them in blood. 1t therefore becomes
evident, that unless the animals food is o
such a character as to supply the nutri
ment required, its growth must cease. Oh
the other hand, liberal supply of prope
matter promotes rapid growth, and give
it strength of texture considerably great
er than is obtained from inferior food
whilst its softness is preserved.

Little by Little.

'Little by little" the torrent said,
As it swept along in its narrow bed,
Chatting with wrath and pride;
Little by little, and day by day.
And with every wave it bore away
A grain of sand from the banks which lay
Like granite walls on either side.
1t came again, and the rushing tide
Covered the valley far and wide,
For the mighty banks were gone;
Little by little, and day by day.
A grain at a time they were swept away,
And now the fields and meadows lay
Under the waves, for the work was done.
''Little by little" the tempter said,
As a dark and cunning snare he spread
For the young unwary feet
Little by little, and day by day,
/ viii tempt the careless soul astray
Into the broad and flowery way,
Until the ruin is made complete"
Little by little" sure and slow,
We fashion our future of bliss or woe,
AS the present passes away.
Our feet are climbing the pathway bright,
Up to the region Of endless light,
Or gliding downward into the night,
Little by little and day by day"

The Inner Life.

In proportion as the inner life is vivid,
the outer life will be effective. St Paul
was naturally man of vigor. His very
faults were those of energy. When he ap
pretended or rather was aPprehended by,
Christ he did not lose vigor; he became
more intense, more earnest, more executive,
than ever. The inward life does,not dis
tract, it concentrates not enervate,
il emphasizes-the outward. While 1t
gives repose, it also gives force.
You have seen the inyigorating infu-
ence of a human passion. You have OBJ
served how love will make timid woman
courageous; how it gives rush and flow to
a desultory, purposeless man, to have with
in himself the consciousness Of a virtuous
affection. for the sake of which it is worth
while to be brave, and necessary to be pure.
You have said sometimes of one and anoth-
er among your friends, q can scarcely rec
/ ognize in him the same man." and you
have found the explanation afterwards in
some secret kindling on the altar of his
soul of fire of human devotion. So is il
in that one higher region still-that hidden
life, that death to the world, of which st.
Paul tells If you wish to move hearts, il
you wish to influence minds-if you wish
to be statesman where before you have
been politician, an orator where before
you were a rhetorician-if you wish t
warm where before you shone, to kindlt
where before you dazzled- learn to liv,
the life unseen, to come forth from God
presence into the communion and contac
of men. The life hidden with Christ il

ence inwardly felt, and manifested, with

True Wisdom,

brilliant career, is quenched in eternal
night; a man may know all about the sea,
and his soul resemble its troubled waters,

to rule the spirits of the elements, yet know
not how to rule his own; man may know
how to turn aside flashing thunderbolts,
but not the wrath of God from his own

Chalk for Calves.

When an animal is found licking It's fel-
low, it is proof that uEeasiness is present
in the stomach, and the licking Of his
ncighbor Is a habit contracted by instinct
with d view Of removing the unpleasant
ness. Unfortunately instinct is not at all
times sufficient to avoid dangerous practic-
es, and if we take for granted that the
stomach is at all times fully charged with
acid matter, we shall without hesitation
find remedy. It is only necessary to
place within their reach shallow troughs,
in which is kept supply Of common chalk,
If an animal has a superabuadance of acid
secretion, it viii most certainly swallow
some Of the chalk, which viii as certainly
neutralize the excess Of acid. If an ami
NAL has not acid in excess, and partakes
Of the chalk, it will DO no harm. It's Oft
en- too late to administer remedies 10 young
stock, and the placing Of chalk within their
reach cannot be made too early.-Eag. 4g-

Decoration IIay.-Last Monday, tie day
set apart for tic decoration Of he'Ea~es of our
deceased soldiers, was generally observed
throughout the land. Wo are pleased to hear OF
this demonstration as it shows that the 10y;
American people are very kecuIy alive to the
meaning Of the war in which those brave men
sacrificed ,heir lives. They see mnve clearl,
every day that Antietam, Gettysburg, Ficksburg,
Atlanta, the Wilderness and many other battles
were trials which tested nothing less than the
actual existence of the United States. Patriotic
us all true Americans are, loving their country
with an unquestiouing devotion which no ether
people have ever surpassed, it is not surprisngl
that they should cherish with warm personal
affection the memory Of those wlo gave up al
that the country might live.
We are not sorry that the Senate Committee
on Military affairs hare decided TO report against
The resolution of the House, making tie 3OIh of
May to be observed as a national holiday or
Decoration day. A purely spontaneous express
sion of feeling, as Witnessed on last Monday, is
FAR more expressive than any honors which could
be granted by Acts of Congress.
We regret that our citizens here, on this occa-
sion, took no steps. to commemorate the day.
Several citizens, some Of them from Toledo, vis-
ted the graves of their friends ut the Cemetery
and deposited thereon flowers and wreaths pre-
pared for tire occasion. AS far as heard from
in this county, the citizens Of Buwiiag Green as,d
Webster Township did honor to themselves n
this occasion. Hon. ASHER Cook was The ora
tor OF the day at Bowling Green, and p S. AB.

The Cash System.-A movement is on
foot am0ng the business men in many Of the
towns of this State to inaugurate the cash sys-
tenn in all transactions. 1t is accomplished by
the leading men of each locality siguing a coa7
tract to force cash payments after acertAin date.
The plan works we'll, and we hope to see it uni
versaly adopted, as the credit system is curse
to the business off any place. In our large cities
purchasers are always expected to pay down for
what they buy, hence merchants can afford to
sell ut smaller margin. The inducements Of
buying cheaper attracts from the smaller towns
the best customers, and country merchants are
credit, of necessity he must charge higher
price for his goods. II also has good eff, CT on
that class of individuals who believe "the world
owes every man living" whether he gets it by
the sweatof his brow or ast-
The following from the Kenton RepuJlicon on
this subject is we'll worthy the attention Of buy
er and seller:
Always pay cash for whatever you buy and
yuu will make money by it, YOU deceive your
self If you think a merchant, manufacturer or
producer can afford TO sell as cheaply for credit
as for cash. On the contrary you pay from Ten
10 twenty -hve per ccnt.fcr the privilege OF being
trusted, for perhaps three or four months. No
man can afford to sell anything near as low on
credit as for cash. The consequen % is that peo-
pie are paying too much for their goods. The
credit sy ystem, in truth, is gradually eating out
the very vilals of trade. The merchant who
trusts must necessarily buy on credit, and he in
turn pays for the privilege Of trust. This all
eventually comes off the consumer, sooner or
later. Our people have this one great lesson to
learn, to buy only as they can pay, and pay
cash. They will be hundred per cent better
of in the end and 80 win the dealer and manu-
tacturer. Pay the cash for what you buy. II
NAV pinch you a little at first, deprive you of
many things you would like to have but remem-
ber that the proneness of the American people is
to extravagance, and anything that will p, owe a
curb on that will prove benefit in the end, The
cash system will not only make healthier state
Of trade but a more steady and more perma-
nent one, The adoption Of strict cash system
in not to be expected from the merchant and
manufacturer, but II must come from the con
| sumsr, for on him are they dependent for their
trade, and they must guage their business TO sat
isfy bis desires, though it Is made TO his pecun'
iary loss as well as TO theirs. With the consum-
er then rests this great and much needed reform,
aud with them we leave these few casual hints,
as food for betmes consideration.
