Special NOTICES.


FL vino Catal1na.-lne announcement
that has been so generally heraded Throughout
the country that an American company has again
commenced importing this celebrated Wine
Tonic is a matter of no small Importance, and
will be hailed with joy by all those seeking q
pure and invi gorating tonic; also, those VINO
need pure, pleasant and refreshing stlmulant
will find in the FL Vino Catalina or Brown, =, $
Catalina Wine Tonic, what they want. 1t will
be remembered that importations were made in
1866 Of this noted brand, but in consequence OF
the high duty then demanded by this govern
ment the enterprise ceased, to the regret OF
thousands who had learned its value. 1t Is the
oldest tonic in the world, and doubtless the most
inygorating, the purest and best, and if impor-
tation continues at the rates now started, it will
take its place in every family in this as we'll as
in the old countries Its merits will make it
household article, and we hope that every one
who has ever used any Bitters or common patent
tonic, will at least try one bottle ofthe Catalina,
and then decide for themselves whether they
will use this Tonic, prepared from the pure
Juice of the Catalina grape, with Calisaya and
the spices Of Ceylon or bitters mado OF com
mon whiskey and bitter field herbs. This is an
invaluable preparation for weakness ard debiil-
ty; it relieves morning languor and gives fresh
ness and appetite, not followed hyan unpleasant
reaction.

which thousands believe themselves to have
been cured by its USE We do no: claim that it
will cure Consumption, but we are sure that It
will prevent it if taken freely in time

INTRODUCING QUEENs.-To introduce
Italian queens to colonies OF native bees
proceed as follows. r move the native
queens. Cage the Italian queen, and il
the weather be warm, and the bees are
gathering honey freely, lay the cage on
the top of frames. Thirty six hours after
wards release the queen and she will, as a
general rule, be well received But in
cool weather, and especially if honey be
scarce, the case is different, and greater
precautions must be used. Move two Of
the central frames sufficiently apart so as
to admit the cage and push 1t down be
tween the brood At the end Of thirty
six hours open the hive and sprinkle the
bees we'll with sweetened water, wei
nted with essence Of peppermint. The
queen cage should also be well Sprinkled
AS soon as the bees have filled themselves
iberate the queens While there are nu
merouS methods Of introducing queens to
tuII colonies, we consider the last method
as not only the best, but safest, of any
that has come to our notice. All persons
who intend to Italianize their bees should
bear in mind that ohe introduction
queens is attended with much less risk
when the weather is warm and the bees
are gathering an abundance of honey.
