For the benefit of those who may wish
to engage in the exciting sport of bee
hunting, we give IA few directions for find
ing the abode of the wild bees. Go as far
from the tame bees as possible as wild
bees are seldom found in their proximity.
Your outfit should consist of some strain
ed honey, Il piece of comb and a box or
cup in which to catch the bees Place
the comb containing some honey on a
stand where the movements of the bee
can be seen, and then place upon the
honey a bee from some neighboring bios
som. When this bee has filled its sack it
will rise, describe Il few circles and take
a bee line for the tree, in few minutes
returning with rcinforcements. This OPP
Grafton is repeated, additional reinforce
mcnts arriving, until a hundred NAV be at
work The bee hunter estimates the dis
lance between the bee tree and the stand
by the time the bees are gone from the
latter and by the number of bees at work
on the honey After Il good line is estab-
liShed, obtain cross line by moving the
stand either to the right or left.
Later in the season, after the frost has
killed the flowers, the bees are attracted
by burning comb. For this a warm, still
day is best. Supply a tin pail with some
ashes and live hardwood Goals; on this
put bits of comb sufficient to make a good
smudge, which will draw the bees to the
stand in search of honey, when they are
lined as above. A few drops of the essence
of arnica, dropped upon the comb con
tanning the honey, will induce the bees to
work more rapidly and increase much
faster.-J. VI. Bee5e, in Bnfalo Lice Stock

Vegetable Growth.

IT is but about ninety days from the
time when these lines were written, Sep
TENDER - since we planted the kernels of
corn from which have sprung the enor-
nous growth of stalks, leaves and flowers
in yonder cornfeld. The kernels placed
in the earth weighed but few pounds
the products of growth now moving in
the wind would weigh probably six or
eight tons to the acre. What is the ma
ture of this organized material which has
so suddenly appeared, and from whence
has it come? Analysis of the corn-stalks
and leaves shows that water enters largely
into the substance as constituent, and
then we find a little sugar, and small
amounts of potash, lime, phosphates,
silica, etc, and the remainder, the vegeta-
bic fibre, is PRINCIPALLY carbon
During the warm days and nights while
we have been attending to business and
sleeping, the silent, unseen forces of ma
ture have been ceaselessly at work in our
cornficlds, and from earth and air have
been elaborated this immense product of
vegetable matter From the earth has
been pumped the water and the chemical
salts; from the air has been isolated and
appropriated the carbon; and all the com
pick vital processes, so wonderful, so in
comprehensive, have gone forward with
out any aid from us.
The farmer has much of his motive
power, and most of his manufacturing
skill gratis. He arouses the slumbering
forces of nature by dropping the seed
into the earth, and then increase and CON
struction go forward independently and
gratuitously 1t is difficult to form ade-
quate ideas of the Immense expenditure
| of force required TO mature an acre of
corn. Consider the number of tons of
water that have to be raised during the
season from one to five feet from the
earth, and also consider the large eXpendi-
ture of chemical energy or force, in the
decompositions and recompositions, con
stantly going forward day and night
The carbon, most of it, has to be torn
from its embrace with oxygen before it
can be assimilated, and then the birth of
new combinations is only accomplished
through the agency of force. We live in
Il world of wonders, and the farmer Ger
tainly possesses extraordinary opportuni-
ties of observing the processes of nature
in all their vastncsS and completely. a
new delight will be furnished him if he
will study what science has unfoldcd re-
garding the laws and mysteries of the uni
verse, which so often excite his attention
and wonder.-Boston JoufnaL Of Chem

The way that most farmers save their
winter apples is to hole them up, like
potatoes, or pile them up in cave or
cellar. BY this method you not only lose
much valuable time, but lose very many
apples; and what you do keep over win
ter are in bad condition. Apples may be
kept in barrels that are quite open; but
the best and cheapest way is to keep them
in crates or boxes, made in the following
manner: The ends or head pieces should
be ten or twelve inches wide by fifteen to
eighteen long. They can be sawed or
split. Nail your boards on the bottom
and sides, leaving places for ventilation.
Have your boards all the same length
about three feet. When you gather your
apples from the trees put them in these
boxes tbe careful not to bruise them and
lay the boxes on each other in your apple
house. Two men will handle these boxes
with ease. You can look your apples
over in these boxes at any time with but
little labor. When you are ready To ship,
just nail "A board over the top and you are
ready. In this way you get your apples
to market in good condition and handle
them but once. Keep your house as cold
as possible at all times without freezing.

among the elders, who, with the dcacons
and elderesses and deaconesses, formed
into two separate circles in the center of

the others, in double lines, marched round
them, in kind of slow dance, moving
their extended hands in time with the mu-

ence, was then dispersed.

The \. Y. Stock Exchange.

STRANGERS visiting the Stock Exchange
always express surprise at the youthful
ness of the men by whom the enormous
business of the place is transacted. Hear
ing so often of the money kings of New
York, and naturally picturing To them
selves solid-looking men, well on in mid
die life, as the bulls and bears of the great
stock market, they are astonishcd at find
ing merely IA multitude of young men,
most of whom have the appearance OF
clerks, and any one of whom will, on the
slightest provocation, yell at an unknown
visitor like Comanche or Apache saw
age The magnates of the street. who are
the men we all read of in the newspapers,
are hardly ever seen in the Exchange, and
some even are not members of it, They
generally remain in the background, con
coct their plans in little private offices,
and issue Instructions to their various
brokers, as a general issues orders to his
subalterns on the battlefield One OF
these magnates may have half a dozen
brokers employed in the Exchange at the
same time, without one of the six know
ing that five others are executing orders
from the same man that employs him. 1t
is by the secrecy of their operations that
the leading bulls and bears achieve par
ticular success; and, IN order that there
shall be no leakage of information, they
keep all IIiils PURPOSES 10
themselves. The whole number of brok-
ers who have the privilege of trad
ing in the Exchange is about one
thousand, while the number of oper-
ators recognized as leaders prob
ably does not exceed twenty-five or thirty.
These are the captains who organize and
conduct campaigns; the others are the
rank and file who do the fighting-bellow-
ing and goring, or growing and squecz
ing, according to their classification under
the SIT ns of Taurus and Ursus.
4 broker desiring to become member
of the Exchange is required to undergo
sort of inquisition before a committee, in
order that his qualifications may be de
termined. He must also make full
statement of his business affairs and
satisfy the committee that he is in a
proper financial condition. If he passes
the examination successfully, he must
then purchase seat in the board, or, in
other words, pay for the privilege of mem
bership. This privilege is an expensive
one. At the present time a seat costs
from eight to nine thousand dollars, which
must be paid before the purchaser can do
any business in the Exchange. A year
ago the price was from four to five thou
sand. The value of seats varies accord
ing to the demand If broker fails in
business, he can neither use his seat nor
sell it until his affairs are settled; the seat
is held as part of his assets, and may be
sold for the benefit of his creditors TAX
ing the number of seats in the board at
one thousand c'seat," by-thc-way, is a
misnomer, for seats would only be in the
way during the daily battles on the floor,
and the price of each at nine thousand
dollars, the total value OF membership in
the Stock Exchange is found to reach
nearly a million dollars-an increase of
one hundred per cent. within year.

Come On!

"Come on; let us march forward to per-
fection," is the inspiring cry of Radical
organ which has the temerity to assert
that .'the Republican party has always
stood as the champion of the poor and Ia
boring classes" Precisely. 1t gave birth
to the it-Mobilier, and afterward
treated the poor Mobilierites with tender
consideration; it inaugurated the back
pay infamy, and the poor Congressman
have been blessed with ple,horic purses
ever since as a compensation for their
heavy labors; it has placed poor place
hunters in positions of trust; and they
have defaulted and carried away their re-
ward for labor done in behalf of the party.

A MIDDLEFIELD farmer has "rastled"
severely, this year, with cabbage-worms.
When they first put in an appearance, he
gave them dose of slaked lime, followed
by lime unslaked, charcoal, pounded oys-
ter-shells, copperas water, hen manure,
carbolic acid, bromo chloralum, kerosene
ION the application of the latter they
wriggled their tails and asked for more''l,
magic oil, vermifuge, elixir pro, cough
syrup, anodyne llniment, sneeZing snuff,
several washes and dyes for the hair, con
dition powders, and various remedies of
the day, after which it was about "an even
thing" for the cabbage and worms. As a
last resort he gave them a dose of sperm
oil, which eXterminated every worm, and
he has this year the best lot of cabbages
he ever raised in his life.
