Winter management of Bees.

About the first Of November bees should
all be examined, aud brought into winter
quarters. Those that have not enough
honey should now receive especial care by
the apiarian, as he is prepared to know
their exact condition, both Us to quality as
well as to quantity.
If You are going to leave them out of
doors, they should be placed on stand
one foot high, and place them within one
foot of each other They should be COW
cred with a good tight root, IA tight wall on
the north, east and west, ventiate well,
place boards in front of hives, down so far
that the sun will not strike them during
the winter, place straw between the hives,
and this will serve to keep them from
being affected by the changes of the
weather.
They being we'll ventilated, will need no
further care during the winter, except to
occasionally look and see if they are af-
fected with dysentery. If so, they will
show it by their dark. colored fnces
around the hive. Numbers of them also
fly out and leave their mark, and many of
them, il they be all right, and being in the
shade, will not and have no occasion TO
come out at all. If they do they are
warm enough to return without much loss.
Better leave them IN this position until
spring-November, December, January,
February, and frequently March. In the
Northern climate bees will keep quiet, and
begin to increase about the first of March.
SELECTING STOCKS FOR wINTERlNG.
Every bee keeper should examine his
stock late in the fall, or as soon as they
are done gathering honey. Some stocks
are inclined to breed TOO late and too
much for their means Of supplies, and if
left to themselves will exhaust all their
honey long before spring, and then die.
They should be carefully examined, and
if the bee keeper finds too much brood, 1t
would be better to change one or two of
their combs with another swarm that may
be destitute of bees, giving in exchange
frames having more honey from swarms
that can spare it, This is very easily un.
derstood, if you will examine the inside of
the hive. In doing this, you should deem
it advisable, you can unite two or more
swarms together as recommended in fall
management In uniting swarms we
strengthen them, and ma Ike respectable

Beauty.
RY THOMAS HOWARD.

Not on the earth
Hath beauty bloom, hath beauty power ;
This is alone its natal hour
The chamber of its birth /;
Here the germ dwells,
And, prone to silence and to night,
1t bursts to love and life and light
As daisies in our dells.
But not on earth
Hath beauty growth beyond the flower
The life that, in day or hour,
Goes to another birth
And all we see
OF beauty is n ghmmer bright
Is but the promise of a night
The glory that's to be,
When, in the skies,
The spirit doth unfold and find
Lite's hopes grown perfect to the mind,
For beauty then it signs;
And beauty there
Compares with beauty here below,
AS mornings golden skies aglow
With murkiest CLOUDS compare,
The forms we love
And cherish for each faultless line,
But shadows are of those divine
That we shall know above;
SO let us live
In love Of Nature. not of Art,
That each may then. with reversnt heart,
Fit homage have to give.

Best Time for Painting Houses.

Best Time for Painting Houses.
The best time for painting the exterior of
buildings is late in autumn or during the
winter Paint then applied will endure
Just twice as long as when applied in eal ly
summer or hot weather. In the former
it dies slowly and becomes hard, like a
glazed surface, not easily affected ait or
ward by the weather, or worn oil by the
beating Of storms But in very hot
weather the oil in the paint soaks into the
wood at once, as into sponge, leaving
the lead nearly dry and nearly ready to
crumple off. This last difficulty however,
might in measure be guarded against,
though at an increased expense, by first
going over the surface with raw OIL By
painting in cold weather, one annoyance
might certainly be escaped, namely, the
collection of small flies on the fresh paint.

Pathological Phenomena,

Apples are found which are sweet on
one side and acid on the other. APP.
pies are also grown without seeds,
though not very frequently. Over and
over again these statements have been
questioned at horticultural meetings as
being impossible But both facts were
demonstrated at the American Insti-
tute last season. Nearly peck of APP
Piles of the first description were sent
from Georgia to convince doubters of
the possibility of such an anomaly
Next came batch from somewhere at
the North, without seeds or even cores
or seed cells.
Now for an explanation of the phe-
nomenon. One theory is that the de-
velopment of the seeds was suspended
at an early period of growth from an
unknown cause, not unlike the arrest
of growth of child, which constitutes
a dwarf. In the the next it has been
supposed sap tubes, running side by
side from the roots Of the tree, pour
their secretions on the two sides of the
fruit, which present a sort of Siamese
connection, although they are really
two distinct apples--a sweet and sour
one-in luXtaposition.

How TO Shin Poultry.

DR.. Ziremde, OF the Illinois Humane
Society, makes t he following suggestions
to shippers of poultry;
Inasmuch as poultry is plenty in our
market, commission men and grocers
arc again called to their shipment and
coping Coops for two dozen chickens
must be at least two feet wide, four feet
long, and one foot high, with ii light bot
tom, the sides and top t. be made of lath,
two and a half inches apart, the first lath
close to the bottom, to prevent the toes OF
the chickens from being broken when
coops are ,jammed together. A coop as
described above, three feet wide will
hold three dozen chickens. Coops for
one dozen turkeys or geese, mast be at
least twenty inches high, made in other
respects like the one for two dozen chick
ems, All poultry, while in coops on the
sidewalk, must be supplied with the nee.
essary food and water in troughs, placed
alongside the coops. Any dealer in poul-
try who keeps his stock as above recon
mended will act as a gentleman and Chris
tain ought to, and gain enough in two
shipments to pay for the coops.

Curing Pork

=
Some thirty years ago lodged from
Saturday to Monday with an innkeeper in
the country, who was also a farmer. On
the table for Sunday dinner, there was a
nice piece of picked pork, boiled the day
before. On tasting it, thought il was the
most delicious | had ever tasted. re-
qrested mine hosto to give his receipt
for curing pork. He replied as follows:
GAS soon as my hogs are dressed and
cool enough to be cut, | pack the sides in
a barrel or cask, with plenty OF salt on all
sides of each piece, and when my barrel
is full immediately roll it to my pump
and pump in water until ! can see the
water cease to sink in the vessel, or to
moisten the salt on top of the cask. |
then lay fat stone as large rs the vessel
will receive, on the contents, so as to teep
the pork always under salt or pickle. l
ut it in my cellar, covered so as to ex.
clude the flies, and there it remains until n
piece Is wanted Care must be taken to
keep the meat under the pickle, otherwise
it will rust"
Here is the whole secret of making good
picked pork for family use. We have
used the above method, and we want no
better, easier or more economical plan.
1t has often happened that when we
wanted to put down fresh pork there re-
NAMED some of the old in the bottom of
the cask. In that case we poured off the
pickle, took the undissolved SALT packed
the fresh pork on top of the old using the
salt winch had been in the cask, with the
al IS I'D
then poured out the old pickle or water.
In this way we have had pork three or
four years in the bottom of our pork bar
rel, and when used it was as free from
rancidity as it was three weeks after
put down. Indeed we seldom emptied
our pork barrel. except when it wanted
hopping. We believe that boiling pickle
is useless, if not injurious, Pork ought
not, if it can be prevented, to be frozen
before it is put down.
The best pork that we ever saw was
that from pigs under the charge of lad
who took as much care of them as some
people do of their children. Every day
he used to give them dinner of hot pota.
toes, for he said he didn't see why his
pigs shouldn't have their Eaters hot as
| well as himself" Then he used to scrub
them several times n week with brush
and soap, rinsing them well with clear
water. The animals seemed to enjoy
their lavation, and used to press quite
eagerly toward him as he came in sight
with his pail and scrubbing brush. Their
stye was also kept perfectly clean, and
their troughs washed ont frequently. In
consequence the pork was perfection.
As IL general thing it is a good plan to
reject pork made from hogs that have
been kept by dlstilers or butchers; but if
possible get pork that has been bred and
tod by & dairvman and finished off with
corn.-COr. Country Gentleman.

Lines to a Modern Doll.
BY L. s. PALFREY.

n Little lady so complete!
AsI behold tonight
Thy rosy lips with smile so sweet,
Thy little dainty slppered feet,
THY hair so golden bright,
pack from the days far distant DOW
Nv memory recalls
The happy hours / used to know
When TWAS years and years ago
Was Young, and played with dolls.
An attic chamber low and broad,
Roof sloping to the floor,
Rare beams and rafters overhead,
An apple-tree that greenly spread
The window small before.
In soft spring days, when to and fro
The busy birds would pass,
When the white blossoms fell like snow,
And when the ripened fruit below
Dropped on the fading grass
Twas there we happy children played
Together merriiy;
Our treasured playhouse we made,
With our own hands our dolls arrayed,
Anumtrous family.
Not like thee, rosy-cheeked and fair,
With eyes in sleep to close,
But wooden-featured, bald, and bare
And one, dreadful blank was there
Where once had been nose
And one. that remember yet
loved her best of all
Ny youngest child, my special pet,
Ny dear rag-baby Margaret,
She had no face at all
How far away that happy dayl
Long years rise up between.
The house has fallen to decay,
The apple-tree is cut away,
The dolls no more are seen.
and the companions of my play
That merry, rosy band,
One s grandmother, wrinkled, gray,
And Two long since have passed away
Into the happy land.

Plaster OF Paris as Manure for Vines

have large quantity Of grapevines
planted in the open ground, and trained
on poles and wires along the gravel walks.
In planting these | had the holes dug
about twenty-five inches deep; | then
threw into each hole five or six Jumps Of
plaster, about the size OF my fist. threw
II little earth over these Jumps, and then
planted the vines in the usual way. The
result has been wonderful the vines which
were not half an inch thick when planted
three years ago, are now two inches and
more in diameter, and bear finely. The
grapes are also freer from disease. Other
vines, not so treated, are mnch smaller
and produce less, the fruit being also
more liable to disease. To try the effect
of this plaster, IN planting two American
black walnuts, we put the plastar to one
and not the other. The former grew twice
as fast as the other, Last year we dug
about the roots of the one to which no
plaster was put and we threw in seven or
eight large Jumps of plaster among the
roots the trees are now both of the
same size, and though only four years old,
are sixteen to seventeen feet high.--P. p,
