DrOncs and SVvarming.

Mr.. ]. G. Christian, Roanake, Ind,
writes: g When bees kill off their
drones in early spring, before they are
out of the cell, as we'll as after, will
they then swarm before you see any of
the second crop of drones fly out {?
Should honey become suddenly abund-
ant, and keep favorable, my opinion
is that they will swarm about two
weeks after the second crop of drone
eggs is laid. Am [ right 2" To this
MIR. QuinOy answers: A strong colony
of bees, with a fertile queen, and
abundance of honey on hand, will rear
drones at the commencement of warm
weather, usually in May. Yet but few
swarm then in this latitude If honey
should become scarce between fruit
blossoms and clover-it does some
hmes-the mature drones are destroy
ed, and even the cbrysalis is often drag
ged out and sacrificed When honey
is again abundant in the flowers, more
eggs are deposited in the drone cells
The swarm may issue before drone
appears. When stock has too little
honey to afford to rear drones until the
flowers yield it, they will occasionally
swarm before drones appear.
The appearance of drones is not a
certain indication of swarming. But
when they are destroyed it indicates
that honey is scarce, and no swarm
need be expected at such time. If it
occurs late in the season, they may not
swarm, although they may rear drones.
A hive that has not reared any drones
until the flowers yield honey is much
more likely to swarm than one that has
destroyed them once. The queen does
not lay drone eggs exclusively at any
time, but a number of both drone and.
worker eggs daily for month in some
seasons. Drones do not appear to con-
troll the swarming. We consider so
many of them a useless horde of con-
sumers, and take measures to prevent
the bees from rearing SO many. We
find that if the queen lays her eggs in
drone cells, they hatch out drones, if
in worker cells, they are workers. Act
ing on this hint, we cut out all the
combs from box hive, transferring
them to movable frames, rejecting
drone- combs, and without them they
can raise no drones. We think that
we know better than the bees when we

Lice on Cnffle.

It is often noticed that cattle droop
from some ineXplicable cause, aud after
losing flesh day after day become so
Frustrated that death ensues Upon
examination it is found that the hide
is literally swarming and perforated
with lice. In cases where the ailment
is discovered in an early stage, oils,
acids and snuffs are applied, sometimes
with success, but oftener without. A
farmer who often had occasion to test
the applications in vogue was not sat.
istied with the result thereof, and de-
Tised means of totally eradicating the
vernlin, and which he gives to thepub-
lie. He describes it as follows: )
& In applying tobacco smoke to Kill
lice, use blow-pipe that will hold a
gill. 1t is made of copper, in the form
of cylinder, with tube on each end
about two inches long. The tube on
the lid is made little faring, so that
it will fit on the pipe of hand bel
lows. The tube at the other end is
made tapering, with a small hole l. the
lower end. A piece of copper pu Led
full of small holes is placed in the wer
end of the pipe to prevent the cube
getting stopped up. Fill the pipe
nearly full of tobacco that is cut fine
and thoroughly dried put some Goals
of fire on the tobacco; put on the lid
and insert the nose of the bellows in
the tube, and blow steadily. and
the smoke will be driven out of the
other end; place the small end of the
tube in the hair of the creature to be
smoked and blow steadily, moving the
pipe over the body until the animal is
sufficiently smoked. The smoke will
kill every louise that 1t hits, but if there
are large numbers of lice on the ami
NAL second application of smoke may
be necessary. When the smoke is to
be used, the hair OF the animal must
be dry. The animal should also be
where the wind does not blow. House
plants that are lousy may be smoked
with this pipe. First cover the plant
with cloth or paper to confne the
smoke, and then blow the smoke under
the covering, and let it remain until it
disappears.

AYrSh Tres Played Out.


George Hammond writes to the Mir
ror and Farmer in the following radical
way, which some people may take ex-
ception to-:
I notice that friend Buffum, OF the
New Hampshire Board of Agriculture,
commends the use of Thoroughbred
bulls in the raising of stock for the
dairy. If you can get bull whose
damand grandam, ETC., were great milk
ers, I also would breed. But I cannot
advise any one to use an Ayrshire.
They are played out here. They are
small and have small teats-both strong
objections with the mixer. They are
not first class animal to turn for
beef in case of accident or age. Our
neighbors of the Oneida Community
owned few years since a good
dairy of common grade COWS, many of
which would fill the pail. 70 improve
this dairy, they made purchase of a
thoroughbred Ayrshire bull and heifer,
CtriStocrots, from the herd of well
known breeder of the fancy at South
boro, Mass. In one time, to follow
this bull, they purchased another of
equal merit from the famous New York
Mills herd, and they now have dairy
of sixty or seventy little beauties-full-
bloods, one half and three-fourths
bloods !. some of them with teats so
small that they can only be MIXED by
stripping. Their hired men detest
them, and tell me that not one of them
would half fill pail the past summer.
Ayrshires would not sell well here
now. We like pretty rangy COWS. They
are generally the best mixers. and we
don't want to lie down to milk. Our
best diaries show plainly that the Dur
ham has been around. We do not,
however, choose the very meaty tanks,
as such are rarely good at the milk
pail. IF had one of the poorest New
Hampshire farms [ would not go to
Shetland for my stock horses, nor to
Kerry or Ayrshire for my bovines, for
[ could dwarf a large breed soon enough
myself.

The Multiplication OF Wealth.

The industry of this age is productive
to an extent hitherto unrealized, even
in the most prosperous communities.
Gladstone tells us that the wealth
which England produced in the inter
val of 70 years, between t looo and ISlO,
from the invasion of Julius Caesar to
the year 1900; and he further estimates
the wealth produced during the SO
years previous. This gigantic result is
the achievement of steam. The domes-
tication of animals-the use of the
horse and the ox-added tenfold to the
productive power of man. But the
utilizing of steam as motive power
increases the products in industry one
thousand fold. The aggregate amount
of productions that outlast the use of
one generation and are handed down to
the next, is thereby increased one hun
bred fold.

Wisdom from HMIddlemarcb

Mlddlemarch," like all of GEORGE
Ellot's works, is full of brief paragraphs
connected with the story, yet convey
ing independent lessons of truth
worthy to be remembered. For exam
pie:
We are on perilous margin when
we begin to look passively at our fu-
ture selves, and see our own figures
led with dull consent into insipid mis-
doing and shabby achievement.
There is a forsaking which still sits
at the same board and lies on the same
couch with the forsaken soul, wither-
ing it the more by unloving proxim-
lty."
"There are natures in which. if thew
love us, we are conscious Of having a
sort of baptism and conservation: thew
bind us over to rectitude and purity
by their pure belief about us : and our
sins become the worst kind of sacrilege
which tears down the invisible altar of
trust"
Who can know how much of his
most inward life is made up of the
thoughts he believes other men to have
about him until that fabric of opinion
is threatened with ruin?"
In courtship, every thing is regard
ed as provisional and preliminary, and
the smallest sample of virtue OF accom-
pI1shment is taken to guarantee de,

OF marriage will reveal. But the door

1887, the first year in which bones came
into general use as fertilizer, the for

custom-house at 81, 500, 900, since which
time 1t is estimated that the amount
paid forimported bones alone amounted
to $150,000, 900. Since 1871 upward of
800, 600 tons of guano have been used.
Mr.. Wall believes that the English
farmers rotation of root and grain
crops comes nearly to perfection, and
that the care which had been bestowed
on root cultivation had been the saliva
ton of England. -s -a 81 81 Id oei .
tits certainly true that the culture of
root crops has been the salvation of
English agriculture. The cultivation
OF these crops may as truly be the
means OF improving the soil in our
Eastern States. We had once hoped
that the manufacture of beet sugar
would enable Western farmers to avail
themselves of this root as fallow crop,
but we fear that this will prove not to
be the case just yet; perhaps time may
give us cheaper labor, by which it
may be done. Fortunately, we have
Indian corn, which enables our farmers
to clean their land in an admirable
manner if properly attended to. Still
it can never take the place of tap-rooted
plants. The turnip crop will probably
never be available in the West, even if
we could afford to make it take the
place of corn as feeding crop, for the
reason that our hot summers are no
suited to the plant.

A New Tanning Material.

Michigan is happy among the States,
for her inquisitive sons have just dis
covered that tens of thousands of her
acres, hitherto deemed worthless on
account of the dense growth of sweet
fern, are really valuable, for this lux
urlant vegetable is found to be much
more powerful astringent than hemlock,
and far superior to that substance for
tanning purposes, yielding forty per
cent extract where hemlock yields but
fourteen. Tanneries will soon spring
up quickly in the vicinity of these vast
astringent fern plantations, and Mich.
lgan will be placed in position to ex-
port leather as well as saw logs.

When a Policeman May Use a Weapon,

A case was before Judge Gilmore in
Baltimore on Monday, where police
officer fired two shots into a man guilty
of a breach of peace, but the testimony
was conflicting as to whether the man
did or did not resist arrest. The court
in deciding this case remarked that a
police officer armed with deadly weap-
ons ought to be careful and reflect seri-
ously upon the necessity of using
them. It was difficult question to
determine at what point an officer is
justified in using deadly weapons. It
should not be- resorted to except in
cases of high felony, where it is neces-
sary to secure the arrest of the party.
This should be the rule. In this case
the man had committed no offence
which deserved death, although he had
beaten and disabled the policeman
from whom he had escaped. In view
Of the large powers vested in the Police
Commissioners, where they could cor
rect an uncalled for or iniudicious use
of deadly weapons, and also locking to
conflict of evidence, he would give
traverser the benefit of the extraordin-
airy evidence and direct his acquittal
