bees become numerous enough SO IS tc
occupy all their combs in the body of the
hive. AS soon as one box or set of
boxes are filed, remove them, and put
empty ones in their places. j have often
been told, If we manage in this way we
shall get no sEarms. think differently.
Supposing you do not get quite 30 many
swsrms-which I think you will, or near
ly as many-you viii get large amount
of surplus honey, which you can readily
turn into cash, and make Bookkeeping a
profitable and pleasant business. 20
Efforts are being made to introduce DIFF
ferent species of honey bee to this coun-
try. / have now an Egyptian queen,
which ! intend to thoroughly test the
coming season; they are somewhat smaller
than the Italian, but very active and
sprightlys In conclusion, / would say,
use the best movable comb hive. Procure
the italian bee, if you have not already
got them; have everything nicely arranged
shout your apiary; perfectly understand
your business, and you VIII find bee-cul-
ture both pleasant and profitable.
Persons afraid of bees, or subject to
great Inflammation or swellings from their
their stings, should use some protection.
The simplest is bag of Grape, drawn
over the hat and fastened around the
neck. A broad brimmed hat is best. To
protect the hands, put on gloves either of
wool, leather or India rubber.

uSEFuL RECIPES.

We CLEAN the following from the
american Stock Journal: iGpsFs
GAReRT.-Give your cow an ounce of
saltpetre in warm bran mash and wash
the udder thoroughly in strong soap suds
as hot as you can apply with your hands;
do not let the animal be exposed to cold
for several days. g-sea r9a
ExPELLINe WORMS FROM HoRsEs.-
Take one quart of alum, one part salt
petre, one part copperas, pulverize, and
mix with four parts salt; give three times
q week, tablespoonful at time.
KICKING Cows. Something little extra
by way of food given to COW while
milking will sometimes prove effectual.
A. confirmed kicker, however, is a bad
subject, and the cheapest way often is to
make beef of her. In hislbook on Ameri
can Cattle, Mr.. Allen says, that he has
MIXED valuable cows addicted to kicking
by taking the iron forceps, used for hold
ing cattle by the nostrils, and tying them
by rope or strap to beam over head,
and drawing up their nose at an elevation
and there securing them while they are
MIXED. SINE mixers are in the habit of
pressing sharp finger nails against the SEN
sitive teats, ard then abuse the cows be-
cause they kick. s.-4a.
IMMINENT FOR ANIMALs.-An excellent
liniment for wounds, bruises, sprains, and
swellings may be made as follows: A pint
of good vinegar, pint of soft soap, a
handful of salt, and a tablespoonful of
salpetre. Mix thoroughly and bottle for
use. This is very efflcacious, and is
cheaply and easily prepared.

Decay in shingles may be effectually

Charles Alden, of Newburgh, N. Y,
has invented an apparatus by which he is
enabled to evaporste the water from fruits,
vegetables and animal substances and re-
tain the original taste, flavor and color so
that they will keep in any climate. He
compares the process to natures laws in
ripening fruit. By this process onions,
pumpkins, cabbage, asparagus, sweet corn,
sweet potatoes, ETC., are preserved and
have the same taste when cooked as the
fresh vegetables.
Wood ashes is said to have no superior

Sheriff, that there WIS no necessity for
his being present, and hehad every reason
to believe that Ben. Layne would attend
and take the necessary steps to prevent
Judgment by default Layne had sent him
word that the debt would be paid, and
had instructed the sheriff not to trouble
complainant. L.syne did employ counsel
to plead for all the defendants. This was
sufficient to secure to complainant an OPP
portunity to make his defence at the next
term. But notwithstanding his knowledge
that compliments name was forged to
the note, and that he intended to rely
upon that fact, he took advantage of
compliments unavoidable absence, and
consented to withdraw, not only his own
plea, but that of complainant,
and allowed the plaintiffs to take
judgment. The plaintiffs knew that
the name of complainant was forgery,
and that he was not bound on the note,
they knew that they were not entitled to
Judgment at that term, without the con-
sent of all the defendants. Yet, with
this knowledge, they consent to take
judgment against complainant, knowing
that he was not present to waive his
rights, and Immediately afterwards an APP
peal is taken to the Supreme Court, as
well for complainant as for the other de-
PENDANTS. All this was done without the
knowledge or authority of complainant,
whereby he was deprived of all remedy
and an unconscientious advantage secured
to the plaintiffs.
These facts not only relieve complain
ant of all charge of negligence, but they
develope fraudulent contrivance to de-
feat compliments defence, which fully
justifies the interposition of Court of
Chancery. They show that the plaintiffs
in the judgment are now seeking to avail
themselves of an unconscientious adj
vantage at law, which equity will either
put out of the way or restrain them from
using. White VS.. Cahal, Swan, $50.
The judgment will be perpetually en-
Joined as to complainant. The defend
ants will pay the costs of this court and
of the court below. NICHOLSON.

HAYWOOD COUNTY.

A Brownsville correspondent of the
Memphis Appeal writes:
''The county of Haywood is one of ex-
traordinary fertility; the people are intelli-
gent and enterprising, and when they shall
determine upon that change of system
which will make the lands yield meat and
hay, butter and cheese, WOO. and live
stock, in place of cotton, it will be second
to no county in the Union.
"The finest and purest herd of Berk-
shire hogs in the country are in that coun-
ty. The prize winners from St. Louis
last year are there; and this season the
proprietor Col. r. H. Taylor, proposes to
import the best prize winners from Eng
land. He has immense fields of grass
clover, orchard and other grasses-and
barns filed with hay. Others can do like
wise, and ooiU do it."

IMPROVED BEE CULTURE.

VIM. W. Cary writes in the annals of
Bee Culture:
The subject of bee culture is very in
teresting subject, as well as remunera-
tive pursuit, if properly understood and
well conducted. In the first place, per-
SOD, in order to be successful, must under
stand the nature and habits of the bee;
and then, have hives and all their fixtures
so arranged that they can labor to the best
possible advantage. A very few days of
neglect by the bee keeper will often make
the difference between handsome profit
and an actual loss. Ihave had q single
colony of bees store away sixty pounds
of nice surplus honey in twelve
days. Now, if l had neglected to
have given that colony the neces-
sary arrangements for storing sur
plus for six of those days, the pro-
duct would have been only thirty pounds;
if the neglect had been continued twelve
days the result would have been no sur
plus, which would make difference of
eighteen dollars. There cannot be too
much importance attached to giving bees
plenty of room to store surplus, and that
at the right time. One man says he
wants his bees to swarm-he will not let
them have chance to store surplus until
they swsrm;-if that man gets any sur
plus, it will be but small amount, and
that of an inferior quality. 1t is very
obvious that more than one-half of the
surplus honey is lost by actual neglect on
the part of the bee-keeper in giving his
bees suitable chance to store.
Some may ask, when is the right and
proper time to give their bees chance
for storing in boxes9 In answer to such
a question-it is the right time when your

THE CULTURE OF TOBACCO
Mo- 2.

The Treatme mt of theYOung Plants.
Much skill is required in nursing and
tending the bed after the seed are sown.
The first thing is to surround it with
good fence, both as protection from
sock and TO keep leaves from blowing
on the bed. Oak leaves will always kill
the plants under them, unless picked off
Immediately. 1t is much easier and
much better to keep them off than to
pick them off by hand, which is tedious
job. The bed should also have brush
fence around it in addition to the ordinary
rail The farmer should visit his bed
often, and see that every thing is right.
Much maybe gained by judicious use of
FERTILIZERS.
Plants may be pushed forward very
much by these helps, and be Of fine size
much earlier, which is of vital importance
tJr many reasons. The only one of
ftbese reasons that we will give now, is
that it is the best and perhaps the only re-
liable way of making war on the bug and
vegetable flea, that are so destructive to
plants; for when they are in rapid growth
the bug can do but little harm.
When the plants are about half the
size of nickel, or even sooner, a coat
of manure may be put on. The best
effect we have ever seen was from new
house manure, prepared in the following
way: Spread the manure on planks and
let it get perfectly dry. Then beat it fine

could so influence any considerable number
of Republicans, but we have been repeatedly
assured that such is the case, and the Presi-
dent, in his very uncertain hold on
public favor, may think by this
movement to arrest serious disaffection in
his ranks. On the other hand, it is quite
clear that if the distinguished Senator is put
on the board, he will indubitably knock it so
high that nothing will afterwards be seen of
it. His systematic and well-known opposi-
tion to the treaty, as we'll as the perhaps un-
reasonable but undoubtedly sincere dislike of

answer very decidedly in the negative, but
there is such weakness in the management of
our public affairs that it is impossible to say
what may or may not be the result.
