Spring grains cannot be sowed too soon
after the ground is fit to pillow. Prepare
the seed by winnowing out the light stuff,
and use only the plumpest grains. Soak in
strong pickle to kill smut. The ground
should be in good heart, and mellow.

BEANs.-Take an ordinary nail keg, MS
near water tight as possible, bore quarter
inch holes in every third stave an inch from
the bottom. Spade and pulverize thorough
ly circle of ground three feet in diameter.
Place the keg in the centre filled nearly full
of good stable manure we'll pounded in;
plant Lima beans end downwards, two inches
deep, SIX inches apart, and as many inches
from the key all around it; pour on pail
of water, or as much as the manure will
absorb, which may be repeated once week
in dry weather. Place five Or six poles
foot from the key, letting the tops meet
over it, and the work is done. Four hills
will be found to raise enough for any family.

heroism Of an engineer on the Erie road.

keen eye, his well trained hand, his advanced
position, and his responsibility Too few of

we tell him stories, we say he is good fell
low, as he is, but there is another on the
train in whose keeping we are when rushing
over the rails, and that is the engineer.
THANK God, they are brave, sober, earn
est men. They are undervalued, overworked
and underpaid; they are not noticed because
they do not dress we'll they are seldom

workingmen or mechanics, but who of us
all are better, Drawer, or more deserving

what Masonry Is Not.

It is not merely conviyial society. It
is not benefit society. 1t is OF a merely
secret society. And yet, paradoxical as it
may appear, Freemasonry is a society-so-
cial, charitable, and secret. IT eminently
pultiyates the social virtues, and affords am
pie opportunities for their exercise in the
hours of relaxation and refrcshment [
care not for the taunts Of those not Of our
Order who are opposed to, nor have I any
sympathy for those within our pale who
would dispense with the social enjoyments
attached to our meetings, which, agreeable
in themselves, tend, by the amenities they
encourage, to reconcile animosties and
smooth asperities which may have arisen
and which, fear, are inseperable from eve
ny society, however exclusive, owing to the
innate frailty and weakness of our humanity
1t is certainly not benefit society. assths
qualifications required in itg members at once
initiate against any such idea; and yet its
charities are noble and muni6ceat to a high
degree. 1t is secret society only in regard
to the means by which its members are
bound one to another, for the purpose of
recognition and the prevention of fraud and
imposture. its influence is widely extended !;
its usefulness coextensive with civilization !;
its sympathy and aid cordially extended and
cheerfully rendered, wherever misery and
distress are to be found.

Coal OH FOR BEE ST1NGs.-I have a

His mother applied coal oil to it, and the
boy Immediately quit crying. Some time

my house by high water. Two of the small
children went to the bee gums, commenced
fighting the bees, and were stung eli over

POLLEN FOR BEEs.-Give all bees tionr
for pollen as soon as they begin to fly in the
Spring it is as essential for them to have
it as honey. They will live on it and water
for weeks, if the weather is SO they can fly
out every few days, if they have no honey
Pollen and water constitute the chief food
the queen eats when she is laying eggs. A
queen in we'll stocked hive, as to honey
and bees, would lay but few, if any eggs if
she did not have pollen. Hence, the ne
cessity to supply the bees with it in early
Spring before they can gather from natural
sources. AS soon as bees begin to gather
it, they feed their queens on certain food,
which is constituted chiefly of pollen and
water. Bees do not feed their queens un-
less they are laying, or they wish tEem to.
They then tend her regularly, and offer her
food every few minutes. At other times
the queen helps herself to food as any other
bee Hence the necessity of furnishing
them with q substitute for pollen so as to
have them strong and populous early. For
herein lies the secret of bee keeping Take
oats, rye or buckwheat (either will do y get
it ground fne-it need not be bolted; feed
in baskets, as they are handy to set out or
take in at night, or if it should storm
they should be set in warm, sheltered place

PorAToEs AS FooD FOR HoGs-A cores
pendent of the Cincinnati Gazette says: The
price of potatoes here being less than one
half the price of corn, some four weeks age
l commenced feeding about dozen April
pigs with potatoes.
I simply take 25-gallon kettle, set it up
off the ground about six inches on small fiat
stones, fill it about two thirds full of pota-
toes, fill up with water to cover them well,
build fire underneath, and when boiled
soft, add mixture of shorts and bran or
meal andsbran. until the kettle is filled up.
Then mash the potatoes and mix well, with
a square ended stick. let boil for twenty
minutes longer, draw the fire, and let cool,
when I have as good food as any hog ought
to eat. Eight gallons Of this soup twice a
day is about all my dozen shoats will eat
up clean. They are rapidly taking on fat.
l think the mixture ought to be fed before
fermentation commences
