WE feel like congratulating our
readers upon the lull in the storm,
of political excitement, that has been
sweeping over The State ever since
the war. Two years of prospective
peace should be hailed with pleasure,
and whilst that period gives oppor-
tunity for calm and serious thought
upon the political duties of the citi-
zen to the State, it should, by no
means, be neglected rs n fit occasion
for considering and maturing plans
for fuller development of the mate
rial wealth, individual and collective.
The system of agriculture is far be-
hind the exigencies growing out of the
forced change in our former relations
to labor, and few have realized the
situation fully CROUCH to make ade-
quate preparations for that change.
Large farms must become the excep-
ton, instead Of the rule, and small
farms and improved culture become
the ruling idea with those who in
tend to live by filling the soil. This
is theme worthy Of the profoundest
thought because it is the productions
of the soil that form the basis of in
dividual and national wealth. 1t Is
true that farming is not the shortest
road to wealth, yet it is the surest, to
independence and happiness.
The farmer occupies the post OF
honor in the onward march TO gen.
eral prosperity, and it should be his
pride, as it is his interest, to improve
10 its utmost capacity, the product
i've power of the soil he cultivatcs.
TO do this, will require intelligent
investigation, close observation, un-
firing energy and rigid economy in
the preservation of fertilizers now so
thoughtlessly wasted. When these
and other important details, are
engrafted upon the system of agri-
culture its success will give vitality
to every species of industry essential
to the comfort, convenience and pros
pcrity Of this entire section of coun-
try. Among those essentials will be
improved commtr cial facilities, man
ufacturcs of various kinds, with re-
munerative patronage, a constantly
increasing demand for skilliul me-
chanics and reliable laborcrs, for
work that requires muscle rather
than brains. The farmers, who have
it in their power to produce such i'm
portant results, should never tire In
their Efforts to meet the grave respon-
slhillty 80 clearly resting upon them,
and that they may not fail. prompt
action, in the right direction, cannot
be taken ut a more fitting time than
just now.

Advice TO Young Bec-Aeepers.

Beginners in bee keeping should not.
when going into the business,b build cost
ly bee houses, provide high priced un--
tested patent hives, purchase a large
number of colonies, or buy "three- band
ed" italian greens at time when as yet
they can hardly tell drone from wor-
ker. Begin moderately and hasten slow
ly. The necdful experience in practical
bee culture Is much more easily and far
more efficiently acquired, by careful at
tention to a few choice stocks, than by
a hurried supervision Of alarge number,
even With the aid of manuals and text
hooks. Plain. ample movable frame
hives too, will be found better suited for
the requisite manipulaiions, than fancl
full and complicated contrivances devised
by persons really Ignorant themselves
of the habits and wants of bees. Aud
colonies placed in an open situation, with
their hives readily accessible from all
sides and somewhat sheltered or shaded
by trees or vines, will be much more
conveniently managed than when placed
in ordinary sheds or outdoor bee houses
Study first to know what is required for
success, and then extend your opera
tons when you are sure that you can
have the business swell in hand. .'---4m
