Tho Sumatra coffee crop of 1874 will
not be much larger than last year-that
is, say 100, 600 piculs and it is doubt
full if the government sole reaches 3d.
600 picnls. Not many years ago this
sale used to consist of 90, 900 or GO, 600
piculs. The agency of the Dutch
Trading Company are experimenting
with a coffee plantation near the Lake
Singkava, which will cost 800, 900 or
400, 600 guilders, perhaps more, before
any results ore obtained.

w DOL and Corn.

In all the United States, according
to the census report, there are only So
600 persons of all ages employed in the
manufacture of wooden goods. The en-
tire product OF manufactured WOODEN is
valued at $155, GOO, 600, and the entire
capital invested in that business is but
$780, 100000, much of which is nominal
in the shape of watered stock. The en-
tire wages Of the persons employed in
the manufacture Of wooden goods are
about $50, DOC, 900 a year. The relation
which wool has to corn may be seen in
the following statistics. The farmers
OF Illinois, for instance, have invested
in cultivated land 1914, 900, 900, and
the working of this land gives employ
ment to BIG, 900 hands. Two counties
in that State have an annual surplus of
breadstufts more than sufficient to feed
every man, woman and child engaged
in the manufacture of iron, WOODEN and
cotton goods. In view of these statis-
tics, perhaps the farmers have some
reason for finding fault with that sort
of Legislation which encourages home
manufactures, but fails to help them q
single dollar.-Boston Globe.

The bees say they cannot tell how they

BY the Sea.

Boys who have been born and
brought up by the sea wonder what
sort of fun those brought up inland
can possibly have. TO be sure, there
are the woods and streams to give Them
some sorts of sport it is true, thew
have squirrel and rabbit~hunting, the
delights OF cunning, the pleasures Of
"going in a swimming" where the
miil-pond and the pebbly streamlets
sparkle in the sun or glide under the
cool shadows of tho willows; but as q
boy, I used to think that the Door fell
lows who never knew salt water, nor
saw the furious breakers dash on the
rocky coast ofNew England, were much
to be pitied. And when once, while l
was little chap, I was taken on q visit
to Bucksport, 1t seemed as if I should
stitie in the close air of the country
town, which had no water near it but
q contemplate river flowing past. The
sea seemed 80 far away that I thought
l should lose my breath before I could
get back to its salt air again. But
perhaps 1 was homesick.
When the gale was high and the long
rollers came laundering on the beach,
Aunt Rachel used to take me by the
hand and lead me along the lonely
shore. 1t was almost terrible to look
over the immense waves as they came
piling over each other, and to see far
out on the stormy sea the dancing
fishing.boats, now riding on top of the
sea and now disappearing in the watery
trough of the wind-swept sea. Some.
times bit of broken spar would come
tumbling in from the far-off waves to
tell its story of wreck and disaster.
Once, while the gale was bowling and
the breakers were rushing along the
shore, Aunt Rachel snatched from the
foaming wave piece of q ships rail,
with part of q child's night-drese
clinging to it. Where was the little
one who had worn that garment : And
in what dismal wreck had some dis.
tressed mother tied it to this floating
wood9 Nothing ever came from the
sea to tell us.
But all was not sad and tragical by
the sea. Such larks as we used to have
by tho Back Cove shores! On Satur
day afternoons we tore mussels from
the rocks at low tide, or dug clans
rom the Watery san0, anu roasted them
in fires of drift-wood. Or we built
RATS of the loose wood along the beach
and padded about the broad cove. If
the frail craft fell to pieces and let the
half-naked youngsters into salt water,
there were enough swimmers to save
those who could not swim. Ther there
were joys of bodybuilding and sailing !;
and how eagerly we watched the rude
little crafts us their birch bark sails
faded away in the blue waters of the
bay. In the drift, along the beach, we
found all sorts of curious things not
only bits of wreck, but fragments of
clothing, curious and unknown shells,
foreign nuts; and once the whole shore
was strewa with big russell apples, lost

Taking Away aQneen.

When the queen bee is forcibly taken
away from tho hive, says the American
Bee Journal, sthe bees which are near
her at the time do not appear sensible
of her absence, and the 1abors of the
hive are carried on as usual for time.
It is seldom before the lapse of an hour
before the working bees begin to man
ifest any symptoms of uneasiness.
They are then observed to quit the lar
vn which. they had been feeding, and
to run about in great agitation to and
fro@; and on meeting such Of their
companions AS are not aware
of the. disaster which has be-
fallen them, they communicate
the intelligence by crossing their an.
tennm, and striking lightly with them.
The bees which receive the news be-
come in their turn agitated, and spread
the alarm still further. Ali the inhab-
itants now rush forward, eagerly seek
ing their lost queen but finding
search useless, they appear to become
resigned to their misfortune, the tu-
multi subsidies, and if there.are worker
eggs or Larvae in the cells, preparations
are made to supply the loss by raising
new queen, and the usual duties OF
the hive are resumed.

TlAAtchcS.


Many farmers do not feel able to
build large barns or places to shelter
their stock, fodder, Implements or even
all their hay, and it occars that a loss
is sustained as consequence. This
fault may be easily remedied by the
use of sheds with matched roofs. &c.
lect a convenient spot about the barn,
one that is dry, and lay off the ground
plan of tie proposed building; instead
of a frame put up stout posts of the
desired height and with the lower end
firmly imbedded in the earth. On the
tops of the posts set mp place scant-
ling for rafter rests, the scantling de-
pending on tho size of the building.
When those are firmly spiked down on
the posts, cut aud fit the rafters, which
may be of small poles, then lath and
thatch in the usual way. Rye straw
10 the best for this purpose, but
long, straight wheat straw answers
for the purpose admirably. This will
be an excellent shelter and feeding
place for stock, especially if the sides
are matched down just outside of the
reach of the cattle. If not needed for
stock, such structure may be used
to store hay, grain, fodder, or imple-
ments, or anything desired. It often
happens that corn cannot all be husked
before cold and rains set in, and then
such place offers many advantages
as protection to the corn, the husk-
ers and the fodder. If the posts are
made of oak, cedar, locust, red elm, or
such imperishable timber, the struct-
ure will last for generation, and q
hundred times repay the original out
lay. Thatched roofs have given place
to shingle and metallic roofs, but there
is good reason to believe that, for the
purpose indicated, they would fill q
want of every farm.-B,sckeye Farmer.
