shaking Bee, from, Cop,b..

Mr.. J. M. Marven, in the American
Bee Journal, gives the following way to
prevent irritating bees in brushing from
combs, in subdividing:
Use more care in subduing bees, in
long, deep or large hives. 1t is gener-
ally best to manage hives, extracting
honey, making swarms, etc. during a
yield of honey, and before 1t is sealed
with wax, that all the bees may fill their
sacs with honey; which they viii do if
there is enough ncapped, and they are
distributed properly. If the honey is
not in tit condition, or OF sufficient
quantity, food may be given to subdue
the most vicious stock. The brush is
one or more plantain leaves rolled
loosely, sometimes the end trimmed.
Weeds, grass, broom, feathers or brush
as may be used and If the articles are
scarce, or only one at hand, dip occa-
sionally in water TO wash Off the odor,
which emages badly managed bees.
Use the old-fashioned native or black
bees with your deep frames, that drop
of the comb like shot off shingle, ri

gests that, if some person Of the requi-

coed to South America-the home Of
the potato-and, seeking the healthiest
locality Of the plant, and the most Wig
orous specimens to be found in wild
state, bring them by good cultivation
to proper degree Of perfection in their
native habitat, he might be able to
transplant to our climate seedlings of
original health and yigor of constitu-
ton. The species which now exist
among us have suffered so many changes
of condition durin5 the years they have
been under cultivation, they have lost
their vitality, and are hopelessly debih-
tated and diseased. The only hope of
recovering the crop seems to be 10y
importing fresh stock direct from

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms.

The new terms offered By the Mason
& Hamlin Organ Company, for the sale
OF their celebrated instruments, create
dissatisfaction with many dealers, who
declare that they win greatly iniure the
business Of selling other organs. espe-
cially by peddler5. BY these terms a
person is allowed to hire an organ, pay
ing only IA reasonable rent for it-hav
ing the privilege, Of course, of returning
it at any time after six months, or of
purchasing it at any time. If the pur-
chase is completed within a year, the
whole cost Of the organ is only five 10
ten per cent more than if all cash had
been paid At the beginning.
Dealers say his is much too small a
difference for the accommodation in
time, and privilege Of returning, given.
The Mason & Hamlin Company are
determined to try the experiment thor
oughly at least, being confident that
their organs will prove 50 attractive and
satisfactory in use that scarcely any will
ever be returned to them. Circulars
with full particulars can be obtained b.
