Poison IN BREAD.-It is urged that Gquor
should not be drunk for the that most Of it
is adulterated with poisonous substances. This
reasoning can not be controversial; but what
shall We do when the same state Of facts is pre-
scented rs to breadf A writer in the Food Journal
says:
and examined by me, only three were positively
genuine, while sixteen were contaminated with
an actual poison. The quantity is not SO great as
to show immediate effects, but thousands are I'M
consciously consuming halfgrain of sulphate of
copper every day-a habit that can not be long
practiced with impunity.

When bees cease gathering surplus honey for
the season, which in many places occurs in this
month, they should have enough sealed honey in
the hive to winter them safely. Ii they do NOT
have il, they should Immediately be fed until
they do have it. Undoubtedly the best way to
do this is to give them sealed honey from another
hive ifpractcable otherwise they may be edliqui-
iel honey, q syrup made by boiling refined su-
gar in enough water to make it of the consisten-
tsncy Of honey, adding or two pounds of honey
tn each ten pounds Of sugar, to keep 1t from crys
| talizing
have fed barrels Of sugar in the fall, when
had a lot Of light q late swarms without sufii-
well as those that gather sufficient supplies ear
| lier in the srason. If then liquid feed must be
used, feed just as early as you decide it will be
lnecessasy-
I Bees get the dysentery in winter from eating
poor or sour honey, bad air, from perhaps imprc-
| uer ventilation.
Sealed honey rarely sours; unsealed sours very
easily ifkept in cellar or damp place, especially
if in comb uncovered with bees.
When bees gather supplies late OF are fed, there
is usually lot of unsealed honey. 1t would be
well to remove this with machine from the ont
side combs, and in all combs where the bees
will not cluster, it is wdfse than waste for the
bees to use it after it sours.
Those using machines to remove surplus honey
will sometimes have swarms with too little first
| quality honey remaining when the season Closes
especially when the fall supplies are less abnn-
| dant than usual. Liquid feed will not fully make
mp such deficiency.
For fall feeling, use plain tin feeders with mp
right sides, coated with wax on the inside, and
supplied with wooden floats. They hold about
five pounds each, and should be filed daily till
| the swarm is supplied. Set them inside the cap,
and feed just at night
have been thus explicit on this point Of un-
sealed honey, because believe it to he prolific
source of trouble afterwards, and because it is
point frequently overlooked.
If Mr. Gallup's directions for August have been
followed, the swarms will now all be strong, and
but little more now remains to be done, except
to remove surplus honey and contract the en-
frances to prevent trouble by robbing. There
is, however, little trouble with the Italians in
this respect-J L. Hubbard In Re- Eeepers Journal

luc ipdIia \CH) DeUd says:
ave understand that party of mountaineers
have at length been able to penetrate the great
basin of the middle fork of the Kaweah river.
This region has heretofore only been viewed from
the summit Of the Sierrss. The party referred to
procured the services of old Indian; he led the
party short distance mp the second north fork,
and then, instead of pursuing the course general
ly followed by parties making efforts in this drec
ton, he turned back around the edge of n certain
the party into a rolling country covered by the
most magnificent pinery in this portion Of the
State. 1t is said that there is evidence of an old
Spanish trail having into this region, but that
no one has been able to follow it beyond certain
point where q large slide has taken place in the
bluff. There is legend that mine Of the pre-
cious metals was once worked by the Spanish in
the region referred to, that the miners were muir
dcred by the Indians, and that an English COM
pany were left in possession of chart contain
ing diagram of this mine. 1t will be but short
time before the truth of this legend is tested.D
