Ridging.up" the Kitchen Garden.

In large gardens the plow is almost nec-
essarily employed as the chief instrument
of tillage-but the spading fork does 50
much better work that it should be used
wherever possible, with due regard to
cost. In private gardens it should always
be employed The benefit the frost may
work in heavy land is almost always I'M
derestimated, if we may Judge by the gen.
eral neglect Of ridging We see very little
of it nowadays compared to what would
be advantageous. This is tolerably well
done with the pillow, by turning two fur
rows, one from each side upon an unplowed
strip lying between them, of about the
width of one furrow. The operation is,
however, much better done with the fork,
and good spader will work SO rapidly -
to astOnish one unfamiliar with the work.
Manure may be spread and forked into the
ridges as the work goes on, and it may b
followed day after day until the ground
nure being spread, the spader first thrus1s
in his spading fork as deep as he can,
where the centre of the ridge is to come,
and inverts the ground, then he throws
two "spits" from one side, then two from
the other upon it. He takes care not -
knock the Jumps to pieces, but to leave
the ground as lumpy as possible.
The frost will do the pulverizing, and
besides, the more the soil is exposed 10 it,
action the better. He passes from one
ridge to the next, working in the same
way, and thus all the ridges are carried
along even and parallel. The direction
they should run is very important. II tho
land Is ridged east and west, the north sids
will remain frozen hsrd most of the win

and thawed almost every clear day. II
however, they 60 north and Gouth, each
side will be equally exposed to the action
of the sun and frost, and the greatest good
gained, Sometimes the slope of the land
Is such that If the ridges run up and down
the hill, heavy rains would cause the land
to wash badly. This may be guarded
against by making cross-ridges at intervals
OF 20 or 30 feet, and packing them solid
on the lower side. If the rainfall meets
with any check in good soil, it usually

Winterlng Bees.

THE american Bee Journal considers
the following method of wintering bees
out Of doors as the most successful and
least troublesome Of any yet devised:
1t is settled beyond doubt in my own
mind, by the experience of others and by
my own experience for several years in the
apiary, that bees, to winter we'll, must have
sufficient ventilation to carry off the ex-
cessive moisture which accumulates in
we'll stocked hives. This moisture arises
partly from the exhalations from the
bodies Of the bees, but mostly, think,
from the surrounding atmosphere, which
constantly holds in suspense greater or
less amount of moisture, according as its
temperature is higher or lower. The warm
atmosphere Of the hive is capable of hold
ing considerable quantity, until 1t is con.
densed by coming in contact with the cold
walls Of the hive. at some distance from
the cluster of bees. There 1t. condenses,
first into minute drops Of moisture, and
afterward, If the cold increases. into frost
The constant accumulation of the quantity,
by repeated thawing and freezing in hive
hat has no efficient means Of ventilation,
gradually encroaches on the space occupied
by the bees, finally reaching those on the
outside of the cluster. These grow be-
numbed, cease TO eat lose their vitality,
grow cold, the frost forms on their bodies,
and they die where they stand The frost
continues To penetrate the cluster, If the
cold weather is prolonged, until finally the
last bee dies covered with frost. The warm
days Of spring then melt this frost, and on
examination, tho whole mass Of bees are
found dead, and as wet ~ II just dipped
from a basin Of water. found one hive
in that condition last spring. The entrance
TO this hive was left open, but the honey.
