Arabian Laughing Plant.

In Palgrave's ''Central and East
ern Arabia" we are told some in
teresting facts concerning this sin
gular plant. The active principle
appears to reside principally in its
seeds. These seeds, when powder
ed and administered in full, Judi
cious quantities, produce effects
similar to those produced by the
celebrated laughing gas of Sir
Humphrey Davy. The person to
whom the drug is administered
laughs, sings, dances and conducts
himself in the most extravaganza and
ludicrous style. After an hour of
this intense excitement he falls
asleep, and, upon awakening, is
totally unconscious of anything he
said or did while under the infiu
cnce of the drug. In Kasscen it
hardly attains the height of six in
ches above the ground, while in
Oman it has reached the height of
three or four feet, with widespread
ing limbs. The stems are woody,
and when stripped of the bark have
q yellowish tinge; the leaf is of a
dark green color and pinnated, with
about twenty leaflets on either side;
the stalks are smooth and shining;
the flowers are yellow and grow in
tufts, and the anthers numerous
The fruit is capsule, stuffed with
greenish padding, in which lie en-
bedded two or three black seeds, in
size and shape much like French
beans. Their taste is sweetish, but
with peculiar opiate flavor. The
smell is overpowering and almost
sickly.

Beautifying Farm Homes.

A man owning two hundred acres
Of land should not suppose that the
chief end of his existence is to
make money. With family around
him, secured against want or en-
barrassment, he should give a por-
ton of his time and attention to
identifying his grounds, to render
his home more cheerful. A farm
house surrounded by shrubbery,
neatly trimmed vines, flowers and
shade trees, with n spreading green
lawn in front, traced by carefully
kept walks, the yard surrounded by
white fences in good REPAIRS ir-
resistibly suggestive of comfort, re-
pose, true indcdendcnce and solid
happiness. Why, the atmosphere
of such q place is conducive of
health, vigor of mind and body, a
sound morality and true piety; and
the farmer who, to crafty the re-
fined tastes Of himself and family,
takes enough time from the more
laborious routine of farm labor to
thus ornament his home is public
bencfactor, and the blessings he
freely ditl'uscs every day are rightly
appreciated by all who love the
beautiful.
Make home attractive, that it may
be more pleasant to yourself and
family, and that its charms may
ever dwell in the heart and mind OF
your son and daughter; to restrain
and bring them back to happier and
purer thoughts when i'll after life
and with other associations they
may for the time be laid away. 1t
is a duty not less than 4 privilege
to make home just as attractive as
time, effort, thought and ingenuity
can render it. There is no need to
neglect your blowing, ditchlng,
reaping OF harvesting. The indus
trious farmer, thoughtful for his
family, and seeking for the highest
and trucst enjoyment on earth, will
gladden. the hearts and elevate the
souls of wife, son and daughter

Late Keeping Fruits.

The peculiar season Of 1871, has
had the effect to advance the ripen-
ing Of all the Fall and Winter fruits
by at least three or four weeks,
thereby bringing our ordinarily
easily wintered varieties into season
during the fall. AS consequence,
it will hasten the maturity of the
late winter sorts so that they will
be in condition for use not later
probably than January or February,
unless extra precautions are taken
for keeping them. Rambos, for in
stance, grown in the latitude of 40 :
are almost out of season now
Swaar, Famcuse, Yellow Bellfower
and other sorts of the same season,
are past their prime or in perfection
now. Northern Spy is nearly at its
best, and all the indications 90 to
show that, by the first Of February,
at farthest, apples will begin to be
scarce and high. Added to this,
much Of the fruit is affected with
the work of the codling moth. and
this again Will enhance its decay.
The fruit crop in many portions
of the East is short, and those sec
tons are drawing largely on the
West for supply. Indeed, when
we were III the fruit region of
Michigan, we learned from some of
the prominent fruit growers there
they would have orders from points
East that would probably cover the
bulk of their late apples.
In view of these facts, we would
advise those of our readers having
late keeping varieties to use every
means possible to keep them intact.
Even the iron-clad, and so-called
"grindstone" apples, will be sought
after, with great avidity, for their
late keeping qualities. There is
undoubtedly much money in late
keeping apples and those who are
fortunate enough to have stock of
sound ones, and facilities for keep
ing them, will make the money
In this connection, We may note
that by keeping fruit nearly at the
freezing point and at the same time
in dry atmosphere, the ripcning
may be retarded for weeks and even
months las the conditions are more
or less perfect, but when finally
exposed they will keep but a short
time.
TO such an extent has the prema-
ture ripening of fruits extended that
a large dealer in Denver, Colorado,
who has just visited the Chic so
market to buy 1000 barrels Of APP
pies, went back with only five car
loads, he being afraid to touch a
large lot under the circumstances
We repeat, there is money in late
apples.- Western Ruroi.

Wintering Bees.

The apiary is becoming an i'm
portant adjunct to many Of our best
farms. While a few hives of bees
may successfully be kept with but
little care upon every place, how
ever small, where it is followed as
a special calling, it requires not
only unremitting care, but also a
thorough insight into their habits,
and an accurate knowledge of the
conditions necessary to success in
the manipulations which may assist
them in their labors. One of the
most important of these is winter
ing.
Much may be saved by provid-
ing proper place for this purpose.
1t must be dry, well-ventilated, and
of uniform temperature, never be-
low the freezing point. Many per-
sons winter them in cellar, but
this is Objectionable on account of
the dampness that is usually pres
cnt in such places. A dark room
is better, where the cold is not cx-
cessive, and where they will not be
easily Influenced by sudden changes
of temperature without. Provision
must be made, also, that if continu-
ed warm weather intervene, the
bees may be able to fly and empty
themselves, without danger of be-
ing SD chilled that they cannot re-
turn to the hives. The changeable
nature Of our western Wintcrs-ex-
IRENE cold, followed by warm,
pleasant weather-is one of the
most difficult features in wintering
bees successfully, and the peculiar
nature Of our prairie soils renders
it difficult to obtain cellars that
shall combine the three requisites
of freedom from dampncss, exclu-
sion of frost, and good ventilation.
TO secure this end, We would add
wise those who keep bees largely
enough to warrant the expense to
build doublc-walIed room, pr
TALLY or entirely above ground, as
secure from frost as possible, near
some smooth field, whence the hives
may be taken for the exercise of
the swarms when necessary. If the
conditions of temperature and ven.
tilation are good, the bees may be
preserved intact, sometimes even
till March, without exercise; hut
this will depend upon the weather.
If the bees are not sufficiently tor
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1871-12-08

pid to abstain from food, they must
be allowed to fly and discharge the
accumulated f@ces, or they will de-
file their hives.
One Of the greatest mistakes in
wintering bees is in not affording
ventilation to the hives. The per-
SEPARATION constantly arising from
the swarm, must be passed off from
the hive, else it will condense upon
the top or sides, and the conse quen-
ces be worse than if they were left
out Of doors, exposed to all the vic
issitudes of the weather. For this
purpose there must be an opening
in the tops of the hives, and for the
same reason it is necessary that the
Winter quarters be ventilated.
Some persons practice wintering by
burying in the ground, and with
measurable success, where the soil
is very open, dry and porous; but
we cannot endorse this plan of pro-
lection. We would much rather
trust, one year with another, the
old way of wintering out of doors.
If this is intended, the hives should
be placed under a close shed secure
from rain, the ventilators at the top
OF the hives opened, and about the
sides, bottoms, backs and tops Of
the hives good clean straw should
be literally used. This will pre-
vent the sudden alterations OF
freezing and thawing with each
change Of weather during the Win
ter. What is required is to keep
the temperature equal and at such a
degree as will keep the bees in a
torpid state; and any means that
will suggest this end and at the
same time provide for passing of
the constantly accommodating mois-
ture, will be the most successful.
Before removing the hives to
their Winter quarters, they should
be carefully examined to see that
the swarms are strong, and that
they have sufficient honey for win.
tering. If not, the pleasant wealth.
er in the Fall is the time to feed
them. Give them plenty of sugar
diluted to the consistency of honey
to forage upon, and store up fol
Winter use. The weak swarms ma,
be removed from the strong ones
and the artificial food saved from
the depreciation Of robbers by pro
tecting it with cage inaccessible
to outside bees. 1t is far better
that they be fed sufficient now anc
to store for Winter supply than te
leave it and depend upon Spring
feeding, when perhaps the swarms
will be too weak to avail themselve.
