superstition About Bees.

To cure eSbee stiDgs hundreds of reme-
dies b6ye been offered, some of them
very old. Pliny says rule will cure
bee stings, hornets and wasps. He al
so declares that tea made out of bees
themselves will cure the sting when
drank. Pauline and saureH, both leaf,
bark and berry he says will cure it.
These Inay be good, but old Pliny goes
still further. For the sting of bees,
he says, sthe oHlet is counted sover.
eign thing, by certain antipathy in
nature. Moreover, as many as have
about them the bill of a woodpecksr
when they take honey out of The hive,
shall not be stung.'
An almost universal superstition Is
that bees must not be sold. This super,
stiti0n takes various forms in different
localities. In Ireland an old saying re-
verses the rule: (: Bees must not be Civ
en- away, but sold; otherwise, the givel
nor taker will have no luck In Dew
onshire, England, when bees are sold,
payment is never made in money, but
in corn, &C., and the bees are always
tmoved on Good Friday. In portions
OF Pennsylvania it is believed that the
seller must not be at home when the
bees are taken away; if he is the bees
will not thrive.
A common superstition in England,
France and Germany is, that, il the
master Of the house dies, the bees must
be Immediately informed Of it. In
North Germany they say to the bees,
THE master il dead, the master is dead.
They believe the bees will die, or fly
away, or do no good, unless so inform
ed and portions Of England, the hives
are dressed in mourning for the same
reason. In Lithuania, the bees are in
formed of death in the family by rat
ttling the keys at the entrance. In
Bradfeld, England, bees are.zalways
invited tnsthe funeral. A worse super
stition stiIl, is, that all the hives must
Re Immediately removed to another
stand, on the death of a member of a
family; and another, that at the mo-
ment the corpse Is taken out of the
house, the hive must be turned over.
They don't have movable frames, or
they could not do it.-Cor. Bee Journal.

Feeding Cows.

AT the Eastern Experimental Farm
in Pennsylvania, experiments in feed.
ing were made as follows: Five pounds
of cut fodder, and 81 pounds of cut hay,
81 quarts,of corn meal, and 81 quarts OF
wheat bran, were given to each COW in
two feeds. From fourteen milkings
they gave 1852 pounds of milk, yielding
III pounds OF cream, and 573 pounds of
butter. From similar feed with buck-
wheat bran in place OF the wheat bran
they gave 1864 pounds of milk, 121 fbs.

wetting the feed with hot water twelve

Was obtained, more than enough to pay
