Management of ANIMALS.

The skillful gardener understands
the importance OF giving ornamental
plants sufficient room, In order to
develop well the form of the plant, and
the size, beauty and richness OF the
flowers. But there are persons who SOW
seeds very thickly and fail to thin out
sufficiently. The farmer knows we'll
that il he planted fifty grains Of corn
in bill, and the hills foot apart, he
would not have 4 good ear; his crop
OF apples would be small il the trees
were only yard asunder, and cab
bage planted as thick as grass would
not head well. The same principle
applies 10 Towering plants. If they
stand i'm thick masses in the bed. each
plant will be feeble, and will bear COM
paratively few flowers, and those email
and imperfcctly developed. The con-
traSt between such flowers and those
growing on stout well branched
plant, with a rich profuse bloom, will
show any one the superiority of the
latter. Asters, for example, If OF the
larger sorts, should be about 4 foot
apart, in order that they become round
anG full headed; the smaller varieties
should be six inches apart. Petunias,
inthe best rich soil, should stand a foot
and half; DrummOnd phloI foot tall
larkspur more than foot and other
plants at corresponding distance, ac-
cording to their height and natural
breadth.
Some ANNALS grow in a handsome
symmetrical form others are stragglers
in greater or less degree. These NAV
b improved in appearance by pinching
in the longer shoots in time; not cutting
them back, which would be too late to
obyiate the mischief. and would tend to
check their growth. Such plants as
the asters DO not often need this shap-
ing, but balsams and many others may
be much improved by little timely
attention,

CONTINUOUS GROuTH.-Thc most
successful breeders OF horses, cattle.
sheep or swine, know from experience
that, although thoy may possess the
best breeding animals, they will not be
successful in breeding superior stock
If continuous growth of the young
animals is not kept up. In order to
begin in time at this indispensable
preparation for success, the brood
mares, COWS, ewes, and sows are most
carefully and suitably fed while with
young, and as soon as the young AMI
mails make their appearance, they are
taken the greatest care Of the dams
being suitably fed while sucking, ard
when the young ones are weaned they
are not supposed TO want for food or
Crink 4 single hour. BY this means .
rapid and continuous growth is kept
up, and the animals attain a large size
and heavy weight at an early age.
When breeding animals are not proper
ly fed and comfortably sheltered In
winter, the bad effect of such treat
ment is not confined to their own want
Of condition-it is shared by their pro-
geny, and can never be remedied.
When young stock are not well fed,
and comfortably sheltered in winter,
their growth becomes stunted and no
subsequent amount of good treatment
can repair the damage. Young ami
mails may suffer for want of suitable
prOyender In summer and autumn, as
well IS in winter, and when this hap
pens it stops continuous growth, and
prevents ultimate success In the object
of the breeder.

Facts In the Natural History Of the
Honey Bee.

There are three classes of bees in @
hive, the Ferker, Green, and Dr0nc
i Queens are raised by peculiar food
/ form and treatment from eggs thai
would otherwise produce workers.
The worker is an undeveloped fe.
| male. Workers in the absence of 8
queen sometimes lay eggs. These in.
variably produce drones. SAL 'f'1..
The queen lives from two TO five
years. The worker from two 10
three months in the working season,
and from six to eight during the sea-
son of rest. hi. ...r..- Te.sa. r
The queen is perfected in fifteen
or sixteen days from the egg, the
worker In twenty to twenty-one, and
the drone in twenty-four.
The queen usually commences lay
ing from seven to twelve days after
leaving the cell, and is capable of
laying from two 10 three thousand
eggs in q day rE-gaE tsFfsF
The impregnation of the queen
always takes place outside the hive
on the wing, and generally the fourth
or fifth day after leaving the cell.
Excepting In rare cases, one impreg-
nation answers for life. The drone
she has mated with dies immediate
ly. 49,,
The eggs of an impregnated queen
produce nothing but drones; and it
Is generally conceded that impregna-
ton does not effect the drone pro-
geny; consequently, the male pro-
geny Of pure Italian queen is pure
without regard TO the drone she has
matedIyith.
The queen and worker are provided
with stings; but while the latter
will use it upon any prOvocation, the
former will only use II on her own
rank. The dIones have no stiDgs.
One queen, as rule, is all that is
tolerated in a hive; but previous TO
throwing of LATER swarms," two
or more queens are permitted in the
same hiy. for 8 short time; but the
extra ones are soon disposed of. In
case of superceding queen, the old
one 10 preserved until the new one
is fitted TO take her place. Queens
have deadly hatred for each other,
and will destroy, If permitted, all
queen larvs or cells in 1.-THE hive, and
will fight each other until there Is
but one living one left.
A frightened bee, or ole filed with
honey, is not disposed to sting.
A good swarm contains about
twenty thousand bees.
A strong or medium hive, with a
good laying queen, is never seriously
troubled with the moth worm; but
a hive without queen or the means
Of raising one is sure TO be taken by
them.
Bees recognize each other by their
scent. .-.
The first one or two weeks of
young bees life is spent inside the
hive, as nurse or wax worker.
The range of bees flight for food
is generally within two or three
miles much greater range is of but
little benefit to them. - National

An Incident,

Some twenty years ago, a cashier
OfOne of our banks was well acquaint-
ed with a gentleman who made a
living by digging wells. About fif-
teen years ago the well-digger with
drew from society and moved to
California, and was entirely Loot
sight of by his friends. a few days
ago he called at one of our banks,
made himself known to the cashier,
who at once remembered him as the
well-digger. After some converse
ton on general subjects, the we'll
digger told the cashier that he need
ed some exchange on New York,
and asked the cashier if he could
supply him with it, to which he re-
piled: "Well, no, | don't think we
can: we don't sell any small bills
nnw-they are too much trouble. ~
Well-digger expressed his regret and
disappointment adding that he
would be compelled to go to Evans
vile or some other point to procure
lt-he thought he could procure ii
here, and he didn't like to submit to
the delay. WELL" said the cashier,
Il may be able TO Let you have a
small bill; how much do you want %
"Forty.fve thousand, gold,7 replied
the well-digger. The casherie's
eyes expanded to thfir utmost. but
are gradually contracting, and will
resume their usual dimensions in
the course of week. The welI-dig-
ger had made good use Of his time
in California, and had returned
among his old acquaintance, the
possessor of almost fabulous wealth.
FOrty-flye thousand dollars in gold
was considerable money for a we'll
digger, but he had just bought farm
for one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars, and had agreed to
pay portion of il in New York ex-
change. lie has quit well-digging
for the present. Paducah Kentuck-

Shying Horses.

y correspondent of the Scientific
American says Allow me, having
had a great deal of experience in
managing horses, to add another Bit
of advice to nervous hOrsemen,
Whenever they notice their horse
directing his ear to any point what
ever, or indicating the slightest dis
position TO become afraid, let them,
instead Of pulling the rein to bring
the horse toward the object causing
it, nervousness, pull it on the other
side. This will instantly divert the
attention of the horse from the object
which is exciteing his suspicion, and
in ninety-nine cases out ola hundred
the horse will pay no more atten-
ton to the object, from which he
will fly away if forcibly driven to it
by pulling on the wrong rein

How TO GET RID OF RATS AND
MEGA gentleman of large expe-
perience, and fully as humane as
most of us, says he gets rid of rats
and mice by putting potash in their
holes and runs. The poor wretches get
il on their feet, and over their fur,
then they lick it, and don't like the
taste of it; it burns them somewhat,
and the more they see of it the less
they like it: so they clear out almost
as soon as the application is made.
To get rid of mice the same person
uses tartar-emetic, mingled with any
favorite food, they take it, take sick,
and take their leave.

FEEDING HORSES TOO MUCH.-Oi
all our domestic animals there are
none that require more systematic
care in feeding than the horse. A
horse should be fed regularly and in
moderate amount, and when worked
be should be worked judiciously. A
horse fed in this way may be kept
al moderate cost and will be more
healthy and perform more labor than
if fed highly, or as high as many we
know OF are in the habit of feeding
their horses. Horses will certainly
eat hay enough to injure them il
they can get to it. When hay is kept
constantly before them, horses are
apt to spend time in throwing it
around topsy turvy in the rack ; they
soon become dissatisfied with their
food. The general practice should
be to feed them regularly three times
a dav.
