A NOVEL BEE-HIvE.-About two
years ago a swarm of bees settled up
on the residence of Thomas Il. An
derson, at Second and =. Streets, and
directly afterward commenced pass
ing through the Notwithstanding of
the house, through sundry knot-holes,
and established themselves between
the weather-boards and the cloth lin
ing Of one Of the rooms. Anderson
attempted to prevent their doing so
by stopping up the knot-holes; but
the bees discovering his object, made
it so hot for him that he gave up the
design. He then placed box about
a foot wide by two foot long against
the wall, on the inside of the room,
and cut away the lining so the bees
could enter the box, and make a hive
of it, but this they declined to do
Some months ago he removed por-
ton of the lining and found that the
bees had filled the space between the
studding on the side of the house for
a distance of several feet with honey
comb. The bees found themselves
possessed of so much room that they
did not swarm the first year, but did
last Sunday, when a great number
came out and lit on the house. An
derson, not being an adept at catch
ing bees, sent for 4 friend to come
and hive them, but before he arrived
they had left the exterior of the
house, and passing through their old
quarters, took possession Of the box,
which for nearly two years they had
sighted, and now, through pane of
glass in the back of the box, it can
be seen that they have commenced
work.-Zachange.

A luxuriant growth of young, fresh
grass in meadows during the fall
usually tempts farmers to turn in their
stock and feed it down. This prac-
tice is far too general for the good Of
meadows. and the "running out" of
the best species Of grass for hay is
due in great measure to this fall
pasturing. Timothy, in particular, is
grass that is greatly strengthened
by an unchecked fall growth. AS is
well known, the root is a sort of a
bulb, which can scarcely be consid-
cred more than an annual production;
new stem springs from the side Of
the old bulb every season. Soon af-
ter the old stem is mature, or is cut
away, a new one starts from bud
near the base of the bulb, growing up
in the form of few leaves, gathering
sustenance from the air and earth
during the autumn, preparatory to q
more vigorous growth the following
season, when the flower stalks APP
pear.
If we desire to kill any plant
known, we have only to prevent the
production of leaves, for life is en-
tirely dependent upon the assimilated
sap returned from the foliage to the
roots; therefore it may be readily UNI
stood how meadows and pastures may
be entirely destroyed by too frequent
and close removal of that portion of
the grasses which appears above the
surface.
Where meadows are composed OF
mixed grasses, or, as is very common
ly the case, red clover and timothy,
stock will always eat out the best,
leaving the poorest. They will sell
dom touch the clover SO long as a
spear of grass can be found, and of
the latter the very best species usual
ly suffer the most from late pastur-
ing.
Upon very rich soils, where the
aftermath appears vigorous and thick,
pasturing for while in the autumn
may not cause any considerable in
jury to the next years crop, but there
are very few meadows, and especial
ly in dry seasons, that will long
withstand the cutting Of crop of
hay and close pasturing the same
season.
As a general practice it would be a
far preferable system to top-dress a
meadow as soon as the hay is remov-
ed, and then cut the aftermath, if suf-
ficiently strong, instead of pasturing.
If dry weather follows haying, the
second growth will be none too Wig
orous for giving strength or protec-
ton to the roots in winter, and if wet
weather follows, the tramping Of cat
tie will be more or less injurious ac-
cording to the nature of the soil and
kinds of grasses cultivated.
Thousands of acres Of good, prof
liable meadows are annually severely
injured by the greediness of their
owners in trying to secure little ex-
ira food for their stock in autumn.
If pasturage is likely to fail during
August and September, better sow
corn, Hungarian millet, or some sim
liar plant to come in at this time than
to resort to the meadow for supply
of food.-N Y. Sun.

HEAVY Corn CRop.-Thc Practi-
cal Farmer thus notices the corn
field of Alexander Scott, Of Delaware
county, Pa. Ninety bushels to the
acre of shelled corn is common
crop on this farm, which will no
doubt be exceeded this year, as it is
variously estimated by different per-
sons at from 100 to 100 bushels to
the acre. This field of thirteen acres
was managed as in other seasons, a
tough green grass sod of about ten
years. standing being first plowed
down to the depth of from six to
eight inches. On the upturned sur
face fifty bushels of lime was spread,
and seven hundred pounds of bone to
the acre. The soil being naturally
Of the best quality, it is difficult to
conceive of a moro appropriate pabu-
lum for a heavy corn crop. The corn
crop was planted AKA, and when we
saw it was of a rich, dark green col
or, uniform in size, many stalks hav-
ing two ears on. When this corn
field is husked and gathered, we
shall give the results to our readers.
