As spring is here our care must be
more vigilant, for when our bees are
wintered out Of doors on their summer
stands, the change Of weather affects
them at once. The warm days stimu-
late the queen to laying eggs, and as the
young Larvae are voracious feeders, and
in the case Of light supply Of honey,
the first thing we may know is, that the
store is exhausted and the swarm dead.
We must, therefore, look the swarm over
once week, in order to know their precise
condition, and if short of honey, to give
them new supply in the frames il we
have a surplus in others hives; If not, We
must fall back on melted sugar, feeding
it daily, or we may give rock candy.
An apiarian who is wintering nearly one
hundred swarms out doors, nearly Of
which have short supply of honey, is
feeding horehound candy. He has been
able to obtain a quantity of broken
candy at Is cents a pound, which he
thinks quite as cheap as sugar, and thus
far, he is highly pleased with the expert
ment. 1t requires much less labor than
the sugar, as ii appears that they do not
store much, il any, of it in the combs.
He thinks the aroma ofthe candy just
suits the taste of the bees.
1t would be wei, perhaps, in this con-
nection, to guard the bee-keeper against
discriminate use of broken candy, as it is
well known that the coloring matter of
candies is very poisonous, such as arsen-
ite of copper, and other similar pigments.
The horehound and rock candies are free
from these poisons.
/ have some doubt as to the value of
rye -four to supply the place of pollen.
There is no doubt that it will assist in
forcing the brood, but the propriety Of
this might well he questioned, as we have
plenty of time for this purpose in the
order of things. In seasons of drought,
when there are few late bees, it might be
more admissible, but even then it is
questionable, as | have shorn on former
occasion.-ERd, in Chicago Tribune.

NuIfum I'm ParyO.

The following twelve paragraphs from
an old horticultural publication, are
worthy of place amongst the most val
ued rules that should govern a well reg
ulated home:
l. When fruit trees occupy the
ground, nothing else shouH -exoept
very sha<t-
2. Fruitfulness and growth of the tree
cannot be expected the same year.
3. There is no plum that the curculio
will not take, though any kind may
sometimes escape for one year in one
place.
4. The only way to get rid of the boer
in peach trees, is to cut them out with
the point of knife blade or wire,
5. Pear blight still puzzles the great
est men. The best remedy known is to
plant two for every one that dies.
6. If you don't know how to prune,
don't hire a man from the other side of
the sea, who knows less than you do;
Z, Don't cut off a big lower limb un-
less you are renter and don't care what
beromes of it when your time is out.
5. A tree with the limbs coming out
near the ground is worth two trees trim
med up five feet, and is worth four trees
trimmed up ten feet, and so on until
they are not worth anything.
o. Trim down, not up.
10. Shorten in, not lengthen up.
IL. If you had your arm cut off, yon
would feel it at your heart-a tree will
not feel, but rot to the heart.
~. When anybody tells you of gar
dener that understands all about horti-
culture and agriculture, and that can be
hired, don't believe word of it, for
there are no such to be hired. Such a
man can make more than you can afford
to give him, and if he has sense enough
TO understand the business, he will also
have enough to know this.-FarmerS Ad-
UOcate.

Keep Planting.

Many seeds can be planted-parsnips,
beets, carrots, celery, oabbagos, kale,
peas, beans, lettuce, squashes, cucumbers,
radishes, thrnips, melons. These are
healthfhl vegetables-eost some labor,
but in your garden they lesson expense
greatly in supporting a family, We

thriftless 10 cultivate a good garden, who

that come from their neighbors. - Fara.-

The Gypsies--!Thcir Origin Rad
History.

The first appearance of gypsies re-
corded in history was in the middle
of the fifteenth century. They were
then known as Egyptians. aud recog-
nized as such. Whether or not they
were entitled to the name is still a
disputed point, One :hing. however,
is certain, that considerable numbers
of them entered Europe by the way
of Egypt hundred years afterwards.
The subjunation Of Egypt by Sultan
Selim gave rise to scenes Of blood
and terror. The conquered inhabi-
tants, rather than submit to the
claims of the merciless conqurer, re-
vOlted and set up temporary gov
ernment under Quingauus. The re.
volt. as was naturally expected, prev
ed to be unsuccessful. The leader
was put to death aud his followers
dispersed. They were soon joined by
others Of different nationalities. who
instructed them in the arts Of chi
romancy. fortune-teiling, aud the
kindred sciences Of begging, pilfering
aud knavery in general.
In different countries the Gypsies
are known under different names for
instance, in France they are called
Bohemians. ia Portugal Citanos, in
Spain Gitanos. in Germauny Ingener,
aud so on.
In course Of time their numbers
sweIled until at length they began to
assume formidable proportions -
Such was the fear Of the English du-
ring the reigh of Philip and Mary
that it was enacted by Parliament
that if any Egyptian. 1 Gypsy. was
imported into England the importer
should pay fine Of f40, and if any
Egyptian soould remain month in
the realm, or a stranger should be
seen or found in the company Of any
Egyptian, or should disguise himself
or herself like Ole and should remain
in such disguise, at one or several
times, it was pillory without clergy.
1t is somewhere stated, on reliable
authority, that under the provisions
Of this Infamous act fourteen persons
we're executed on one occasion at the
Suffolk assizes.
In Scotland they Jared better and
were more kindly treated Indeed,
they were encouraged and patronized
by the Scottish monarchs. Their
history, during the last century, is
more or less familiar to American
readers. 1t varies but little in mate
rial facts from their early story. Un-
der the benignant rays Of civilization
and the influence of the Church they
have been reclaimed and in not few
of the conversions have they made
useful citizens.
The Gypsies have stood the roman
GERS and poets in good stead. Every
reader OF Scott remembers Meg Mer-
rifles, AMI thousands to whom his
name is unknown remember her
through the powerful acting of Miss
Cushman. The heroine Of Victor
Huso's "Notre Dame" Esmeraidd
is a Gypsy, five remember rightly.
