SURPLUS HONEY.

The object of Bookkeeping is to obtai
honey, either for home use, or in som
good form for market, yet many person
keep bees from year TO year without eve
obtaining any OF any account, unless IL y
by killing off swarins in the fall-a Ptac
tice which can not be too strongly con,
demned, and one long since abandoned
by our best apiarians.
With strong swarms and goou seasons
there are three principal reasons why oees
do NOT workIin boxes. The first is, that
majority of bee-keepers use large hives.
They are often made so large that the
BODY of the hive contains ample space to
hold all the stores that the stock can gath
er. and as bees never work in boxes when
the breeding apartment is sufficient Tor
their accommodation, no surplus IS Cd
tanned from stocks in such hives. Second,
hives are often made so tall that the bees
have to climb long distance to Obtain ac-
cess to the surplus boxes. l use hives
thirteen inches high and consider those
faeen too tall for profit; for If very tall
hives are used, we shall fail in getting
boxes filed that are PLACED on top. Third,
the foregoing conditions being complied
with. there still remains an important con-
sideratiou not to be overlooked, to make
the communication between the breeding
chamber and surplus boxes so free that the
warmth of the hives will readily as
cend into them, and the bees meet with no
obstruction to prevent their success.
Movable frame hives are more valuable
on account of the facilities they give the
bees of access to the surplus boxes, and
I think the best results will be achieved
only by their use. Still, good results and
fair profits may be realized from proper
" constructed box-hives, and let none be
discouraged because their bees are in
such hives. If their hives are low, not
too large, afford free access to the boxes
boxes well made, pieces of comb Sc
cured in the top, and well protected
against sudden changes Of temperature,
good stock will certainly store surplus in
favorable seasons.
If the surplus honey is intended for
home use, large boxes may be used. The
sides should be made OF glass, and the top
and bottom of pine or other light wood,
one-fourth of an inch thick. with corner
posts of same material five-eighths of an
inch square. For market, a smaller box
is found to sell best, and use one made
of two sizes of glass, 4x5 and 5x6 inches,
made in the same manner as the above.
Bees will generally commence much
earlier in the boxes if small pieces of comb
are fastened to the top of the box. Small
pieces, an inch square, will answer the
purpose, and they may be fastened with a
cement made of rosin and beeswax, three
parts of the former to one of the latter.
Do not put on boxes too early, for dande-
lions stain the combs and furnish unpleas
ant honey. Neither put it off till too late,
for very few swarms will be retarded by
the room thus afforded, and it is very i'm
portant that beginning should be made
before swarms issue.-Cor. Rural Home.

WORDS.

If words could satisfy tie heart,
The heart might find less care;
But words, like summer birds depart,
And leave but empty air.
The heart. n pilgrim on the earth,
Finds often when it needs,
That words are of as little worth,
AS just SO many weeds.
A little said-ana truly said
Can deeper joy inpart,
Than host of words that reach the head,
Bnt never touch the heart;
The voice that wins its sunny way,
A lonely heart to cheer,
Has oft tile fuwest words TO say,
But oh, those tew-how dear.

BEING GENTLEMAN.-Onc very

when our reader next hears this ex-
preston made use of, let him call to
mind the following.
"He who 'can be gentleman when
he pleases,' never pleases to be any
thing else. Circumstances may and
do, every day in life, throw men of
cultivated minds and refined habits in
to the society of their interiors bnt
while, with the tact and readiness that
is their especial preiogative, they make
themselves welcome among those with
whom they have few, if any, sympa-
ti,ies in common, yet never by any ac-
cident do they derogate from that higl
standard which make them gentlemen
So, on the other hand, the man of vul

of society, speaking with practiced iii
tonation, and bowling with well-studiet
grace; yet he is no more a gentleman
in his thought than is the tinselled &C
tor who struts the boards the monarcl
his costume would bespeak him. Thi

RULES TO KEEP A FARMER Poor
/. Not taking a good Agricultural pa
per.
.. Keen no account of home opera
tions. Paying no attention TO the
maxim, ga stitch in time saves nine,'
in regard to the sowing Of grain and
the planting of seed at the proper sea-
son.
g. Leaving the reapers, plows, cult
vators, etc, uncovered from the rain
and heat of the sun. More money is
lost in this way than most people are
willing to believe.
4. Permitting broken implements to
be scattered over the farm until they
are irreparable. One of the seven wiso
men of Greece said only this to prove
his sense-"The time to mend the plow
is when the pillow breaks"
5. Attending auction sales and pur-
chasing all kinds of trumpery, because
! in the words of the vender, the articles
are Every cheap"
6. Allowing fences to remain upre-
paired until strange battle are funnd
grazing in your fields, and braising the
fruit trees.
z. Planting fruit trees with the ex'
pectation of having fruit, without giv.
ing the trees half the attention re
quired to make them produce.
8. Practising false economy by de
priviug stock of proper shelter durin:
, the winter and giving them unfoun'
food, such as hcl.-rotten and mould,
fodder. Exchange.
