WHY do NOT Farmers Keen Bees !.

At the late meeting of the Northeastern
Beekeepers' Association, Mr.. NJ. Qumby,
of St. townsville, n. y, read paper on
the above subject. He thought that bee.
keepers should present inducements to
farmers to engage in the business. Most
of the inducements have been presented
unskillfully. The main object has been to
get some patent hive generally introduced.
Practical knowledge of management can
not be bought, but must be learned by ex-
perience. Nine out of ten of these patent
hives can be found piled up in lofts and out
houses, instead of containing bees. Sue
cess is certain even in limited localities.
Two years ago, at a discussion at State
Agricultural Society meeting, it was shown
that one man had secured in one season
| %, 900 lbs of surplus honey and saved his
| bees for another season, his sales amount
| ing to over s. ,000. The object in making
this statement was was to show that the
| most of the bee pasture in the country is
| lost. There is room enough for all the en-
terprise likely TO he enlisted for the next
| one hundred years. There is no lack OF
| honey to gather there Is q lack of knowl-
edge and information on the subject Far
mers will not embark in any enterprise un-
less there is some certainty as to the average
pecuniary profit.
The two last winters have been calamitous
in the loss of stock, and as yet no satisfac-
tory remedy therefor has been given.
| Among all the theories advanced, only a
| small part az yet seems probable. No two
beekeepers agree exactly a to the cause of
what is called dysentery. 4 thorough ex-
animation and diagnosis of this disease
would no doubt result in some generally
successful remedy. II bees can be made ts
pass the winter as safely as cattle or horses

wards advancing the interests of bee.

Protection Against Frost

some time ago, says the Pal Nal Ga
zette, we alluded 10 experiments that had
been made at the instance of the Societe
des Agriculteurs de France as to the prac-
ticability Of creating artificial clouds
which would protect the vines from frost.
These experiments were conducted in the
neighberhood Of Suresnes, and NJ. Con-
STAINS de Saint-f5auveur, a well-knoWn VII
ticulturist in the south of France, now re-
lRtes the result ofother experiments which
he has himself tried in the department OF
the Tarns Writing 10 NJ. DrOuyn de
Lhuys, nc gays I'VE have long been in
the habit of making fires of green wood
and damp straw 10 protect our vines du-
ring the Spring frosts but this method
rarely proved etfieacious, as the changes OF
temperature occurred too suddenly, This
went on for some time, until one even
ing, when the weather was fine
but rather chilly. we noticed a thich
cloud suspended over the Tarn, which
prevented US from seeing its waters
This cloud was produced by the smoke tina
| issued from a cauldron OF coal-tar, which
farmer was using TO bedaub some palings
| The idea struck me that this would be al
| excellent substitute for straw and wood
and, having now had IL in use for fv
years, j can state most confidently that tn
remedy is easy ofapplication aud far from
costly. We place small cauldrons Of coal
tar, each holding from ten 70 fifteen litres
at intervals Of about fifty yards from eacl

Time and Manner Of Breeding Swine.

Let me give few hints on that subject.
So far as l can control the time, my pigs
come in April and May; and hereafter /
will raise but one litter year from each
breeder. In order to get two filters, thefirst
one must come too early, and the second
too late in the year, and both are liable TO
become stunted. / believe that one good
litter in the right time of the year, is worth
any two litters that can be raised, for
breeding purposes. Another gain for the
one litter system is, that the sows, after
weaving their pigs, in June and July, may
be turned out on stubble fields Or clover,
and require no more feed until late in the
fall. If desired, they may be prepared for
winter market. A SOW goes sixteen weeks
or from IL to lis days. The time when
pigs shall come in is readily controlled
AS much as that OF any other live stock, II
is important to pay great attention not on
~ 10 the breed, but also to the choice Of
individuals. The SOW should produce s
great number of young ones; and sh;
must be we'll fed TO enable her to sup
port them. Some sews bring forth ten
twelve or fifteen pigs at birth; but sever
and nine is the usual number, and sow
which produce fewer than this, must b
rejected. 1t is, however, probable tina
fecundity depends also upon the boar b
should therefore be chosen from a rae
which multiplies quickly.-Sun.

The reports of Maine State Board of Ag-

acre of carrots equals ten and one-seventh
acres of oats, Mr.. Curnen, distinguished
English farmer says an acre of carrots sup
plies food for working horses equal to Is to
20 acres of oats. A Northern farmer, writ.

Turkey Culture.

II does not cost any more, or much more,
10 raise pound of turkey than pound OF
hen flesh. In the summer they require TO
be fed less, being mastery eampaigners on
their own account, while in winter very
likely their nervous disposition demands
somehat more stimulus than other fowls.
If well fed, they do not require nearly a.
careful housing as the hen, although 1t IL
good policy TO make them roost indoors
but left TO themselves, they prefer TO wealth
er out the widest storm in the tree-tops
Finally, when brought to market, Their
fiesh Is worth much more than that Of the
hen, so that, other things being equal, il il
economy 10 keep them instead. Also, and
this Is well worth considering, even allow
ing that the percentage Of loss of young
turkey chicks under the most perfect nan
agement is greater than the loss Of cbicks
of the common fowls, still, the turkeyi
that survive reach such a great weight
that given number Of pounds OF turkey
tiesh may, perhaps, be raised with less la
Dor than the same quantity of flesh Of thu
common fowls.-POultyY World.

FIELD AND FARM.
NOTES FROM A FARMER.

\ Lyons Bend Farmer (knox coun-
ty) gives us his observations on the sub
ject of raising thoroughbred horses in
preference to common or scrub y stock.
He speaks from experience. He raised
colt sired 10y Mabry's Helmet, which he
sold, when nine months old, even in these
hard times, for one hundred dollars. For
another he was offered one hundred dol
lars when nine days old, 1t is now about
the season when farmers are thinking of
breeding colts, and he speaks as on the
subject for this season. 1t costs no more
to raise a thoroughbred than common
colt, and they can be sold much more
readily for higher prices. The writer
has had eighteen years experience as a
stock raiser and has been quite successful,
especially in raising good horses. Address
ing the farmers, he concludes with this
sensible suggestion: "Let US hear from
more of you farmers and stock raisers
through the CHRONICLE, the farmers pa
per, for, as a farmer, I claim it to be the
best in this country. As proof that 1
think so, take two copies"
We trust our agricultural friends will act
on these suggestions, and that in each num-
Der of the WEEKLY CHRONICLE we may
make up at least a column of "Notes from

How TO Destroy NOxiOus Insects.

\ small black flea, in great swarms, eats
the leaves of cabbage plants after they
come up from seeds sown in the open
ground, and also early cabbage plants after
being set out in the open ground from hot
beds. 4 slight busting of fresh Stacked
lime over the plants in the morning, while
wet with dew will drive them of or kill
them. Dust the plants one morning, and
again the second morning after that; then
the Job is finished. The Flea is more
fond of pepper cress y than cabbage, so
that if the cress is sown thinly along with
the cabbage seed it will save the cabbage.
4 greenish mealy louise in vast numbers
attack cabbage when nearly full grown.
Two dustings of fresh lime will kill them.
\ black grub, which lodges in the
ground, eats through the stems of young
cabbage after being transplanted, causing
the heads to drop off. Whenever that is
observed, search around the plants, cut of
and find the grub and kill it. 1t is only a
quarter of an inch under the surface. At
ter it gets off one plant it gets to another,
SO that you must search around the neigh
boring plants, if not found where it has
been devastating,
They are always in pairs, so that after
finding one search for its mate. II may bt
several plants from the other.
The wire worm lodges in the ground
and is destructive to the seeds Of Lima anC
pole beans, aud Indian corn, Plant twice
as many seeds as you want plants. When
they begin to push through the ground
draw the soil from the seed gently, and se'
that there be no worms in them. If thu

he had quarreled with her. After talk

was shaved. On returning 20 his house
he heard for the first time of her death.
