Wintering Bees.

Mr.. j. W. Hosmer of Janesville,
Wis, gives the following as his
method; gsas j.. .rs 4aa q
To prepare bees for wintering,
take your strong swarms, as soon as
the great honey harvest is over, and
divide them into as many swarms as
possible, aud have each contain one
Quart Of worker bees. kGive each
hive queen, and then let them
stand until cold weather comes.
Then examine, and sec that each
/ swarm has at least ten pounds of
honey and IF ftherc-is more than a
quart of bees, take ont of the frames
and gently shake off the bees, leav
ing only one quart in the hive ofthe
Youngest Then. set them into D
Cellar where it is perfectly dark, and
| 50 % warm that it will not freeze.
Close all under ventilation and if the
American frames are used, leave all
of the mortises through the top. op-
Ien;i at all events, give them full
vent at the top Of the A'hive. Now
YOU have ''put them to bed' for the
long night of winter. Do not dis
turb them from peaceful slumbers
by going into their bed room with a
light. If you have not cellar pre-
pare them as deserted, with bot
tom closed and top open, and rest
them in dry place close together.
Law sticks or boards upon the liives
slanting. towards the ground, then
cover them with straw one footdeep
when pressed down, upon this covs
ering place dirt TO the thickness-of
six inches, and smooth itdown, let
ting it freeze. Lastly, cover it with
litter to keep the frost in and the
work is done.

To Preserve Cider.

"A correspondent for whose opin-
ion we have n very high respect"
says the n. Y. World, "sends1us a
communication in which he recon-
mends the use of sulphite of lime as
means of preventing The fermenta
tion of cider. This material is now
used in large quantities by brewers
and also bwl sugar manufacturers.
Cane juice properly treated with it
may be kept for months without in
jury, and may then be boiled with a
certainty of producing excellent su-
gar. Knowing these facts by pract-
ical experience, we thought our cor
respondents idea might be good
one, at the same time we took the
precaution to ask a large dealer in
the bi-sulphate and chemicals gener-
ally, and were informed that the, ci
der manufacturersacould not use it.
He further said, the process they
use is to let the cider ferment once,
so as to clear, then rack off, and in
to each cask or barrel they throw a
peice of fresh RAG beef; by this
system of operation i the. cider lis
not only kept sweet, but some think
it is improved. We know nothing
ofits value except that 1t is very
generally used by large cider max
ers who have high reputation for
the excellence of their product.
Viewing in a chemical light, we
would say that it was preferable to
the bi-sulphate mode as the albu-
men of tlie meat has a tendency to
soften the acidity and produce mel
lownesss, while there are circum-
stances under which the lime might
unite with the acetic acid and pro-
duce acetate of lime, which, if not
possibly injurious, would not at all
add to the flavor Of the cider.

To Purify a Room.

and in a few hours it will have alb
sorbed all the respired gases in the

come purer, but the water perfectly
filthy. The colder the water is, the
greater the capacity to contain these
gases. At ordinary temperature 6
pail of water will contain pint Of
carbonic acid gas and several pints
of ammonia. The capacity is near
ly doubled by reducing the water tc
the temperature of ice. Hence, wa

Roots as Feed.

An English farmer puts in :
strong plea, for turnips, accounting
them considerably superior fol
milch COWS to carrots or mangel wIir
zels. The milk induced by man
gels is large in supply but of poorer
quality and not nearly SO produc
tive of cream as that resulting from
the use of turnips, and the taini
given by the former roots is more
Objectionable and less easy to OBJ
viate or overcome to passable de
gree. In giving carrots to milct
cows, the only recommendation
they have is the absence of all un-
pleasant taste in the butter, as the
milk is neither so rich as that OBJ
tanned in turnip feeding.
