WISCONSIN TOBACCO.

The GAINESVILLE Gazette says: Careful
estimates show that not less than ten
million pounds of Wisconsin tobacco was
housed last fall, Which brings to the class
of people most deserving aud most In
need of the money, a revenue of $50, 900.
1t is true that their expectations III re-
gard to the profit to be derived from the
culture of the weed are not more than
half realized. but even at six cents 2
pound, tobacco pays better than any 9TH
er crop that can be grown in this latitude.
There are causes for the prevailing low
prices which cannot be overcome by pro-
ducers. In our State. last year, the hot
summer and drouth seriously impaired
the quality of the leaf and this added to
the experierence of those who embarked
in the somewhat uncertain speculation
combined to bring forth an inferior grade
oc tobacco. On the contrary, Connecti-
cut seed leaf never was better, hence it
has the preference in the market, while
we are obliged to compete with several
other States no better favored by the
season than Wisconsin"

APPLES.

n
At recent meeting of the Wisconsin
Horticultural Society at Madison, NJ.
Morrow spoke of the origin of the apple
as being one from the native or wild ap-
pler which was found growing over wide
extent of country, and By lis cultivation
the improved apple was produced. He
said IS varieties of which he hid traced,
20 were produced 10 North Carolina, and
ten 10 other Southern States, and the re-
mainder were scattered over the other
States; and that these 4S different varie-
ties were known in different localities by
l3S different names; one the Oick-a- jack,
having SO names. He said Mr.. Finlason
had taken a step in the right direction by
planting seeds of the crab, which was
known to be hardy, and by selecting
those which proved to be good and by
continuance of this plan he thought there
could be as good and hardy apples pro-
duced here as anywhere he spoke of the
fact that 20 years ago the South was des-
titute of home grown winter apples; that
the varieties which were winter fruit
when grown in the North, were summer
aud tall varieties when grown in the
South, on trees t'.om Northern nurseries
Bat by raising seedlings of their own.
Tie South ROW had good winter varieties.

BEES.

At recent Bee keepers Convention
in Wisconsin, MIR. Pierson said, il has
been demonstrated that an acre of white
clover. in average season, will produce
500 pounds of honey. Mostof tie hon
ey collected by hive is collected within
radius of little over mile. On every
three square miles in Outgamie county, L
estimate there are 100 acres of white clo-
yer. These would secrete 10000 pounds.
But while clover is but one of the many
honey-producing plants, [ estimate the
total secretion Of honey annually on three
square miles at 200, 600 pounds. Now
good hive will consume 60 pounds, and
will store tor the owners 40 pounds Thus
it would take 1000 colonies to collect the
honey ON three square miles-or 666 on
on one square mile. Reduce the number
now one-half; give ten families to the
square mile, each with thirty hives.
These 800 hives would collect as surplus.
II, 900 pounds. In one township the sc
square miles would give as surplus 432,-
900 pounds.
There is no serious disease among bees;
in twenty five years | haye had little
trouble from foul brood. Dysentery is
undoubtedly caused by foul air aud i'm
proper food. Ventilation of hives in
winter is essential. There is no danger
of bees freezing if kept dry: Don't let
the temperature get too high. Best in
a darkened room, where the temperature
will not rise above twenty-five degrees.
1t is good plan to cover room with
boards, as fat as viii allow the water to
run off Then cover the roof with snow
to the depth Of one or two feet.

REMEDY FOR PAINFUL WOUNDS.

In few minutes the pain will be allayed
and recovery proceeds rapidly. In my
own case rusty nail had made a bad
wound i'll the bottom of my foot. The
pain and nervous irritation was severe.
This was all removed by holding it in the
smoke for fifteen minutes, and | was able
to resume my reading with comfort. We
have recommended it to others with like
results. One of my men had a finger
nail torn out by pair OF ice tongues. 1t
became very painful, as was to have been
expected. Held in sugar smoke for TWEEN
tyy minutes, the pain ceased, and it prom
ises speedy recovery.

failures of this crop before; but unless We
except 1860, we have never had one sc
sweeping as this The past winter was very
peculiar as well as severe. The little snows
that came would melt and cover the ground
with water just previous to a singing freeze ;
so instead Of protecting the wheat, the snow
became the frost's most potent agent in des-
troying IT. At best, the wheat was feeble to
stand even mild winter, being sowed late
last fall on account Of dry weather; so, put
tiD- the two causes together, we have as the

localities in others there was little wheat

discouraged; they are sowing their fields as
though failure was thing unheard o.
But the scarcity Of money and the high price

The mania for stock-raising Is still on the

\ SCENE N THE SIERRAs.-Cllifornia
IS Il country unlike any other. Nature
here is as rude as incholte, as unfinished
as the life. The people seem to have
come here a thousand years too soon, and
before the great hostess was ready to re-
eeive them. The forests, vast, silent,
damp with their underground of gigantic
ferns. recall a remote carboniferous epoch
The trees are monstrous, somber and mo-
notonously alike Everything is new,
crude and strange. The grass blades are
enormous, and far apart There is no
carpet to the soil, even the few Alpine
flowers are odorless and bizarre. There is
nothing soft, tender nor pastoral in the
landscape Nature affects the heroics
rather than the bucoics. Theocritus
could have scarcely given melody to the
utterances of these Action herdsmen, with
their brierwood pipes and their revolvers
slung at their backs. There were vast
spaces of rock and cliff long intervals of
ravine and cannon, and sudden and awful
lapses of precipice. The light and shadows
were Rembrandtish, and against their
background the faintest outline Of hu-
man figure stood out starkly.-Bret
