BEE KEEPING PAYs.-A colony, if properly
managed, will every year give another colony
without injurng itself; indeed, it is really bet
ter, because it exchanges in swarming its old
for new queen. The capital invested in the
hive is thus doubled every season, giving one
hundred per cent. on the money, whether the
hive be worth five dollars or twenty-five. In
average seasons, from thirty to fifty pounds of
honey may be obtained also from both the old
and new colonies When the number increases
too much, part may be sold or, if it is pre-
ferred to have less increase and more surplus
honey, they may be easily managed to secure
that end. Does anything pay better than
this?
In almost every country village in the land,
to say nothing of the cities, honey is high
priced luxury, while at The same time, rich
honey harvests all around are unappropriated.
This should not be- While we do not advise
any to go bee keeping on q large scale, unless
sure they possess an aptitude for the business,
we would urge every dwcler in the country,
and many in the towns and suburbs of the
cities, to keep bees enough to furnish honey.
Only one rule is necessary to be observed to in
sure success, whether you have few hives or
many; Keep every colony always strong in
numbers When in this condition they are
prepared to winter we'll, to rear broods to keep
their numbers good, and if adverse seasons
come, wait without injuy, until better times

THE ToMAro.-Dr. Bennett, professor of
some celebrity, considers it as an invaluable
article of diet, and ascribes to it very I'M
portant medical properties:
l. That the tomato is one Of the most pow
erful aperients of the materia nledica, and that
in all those affections of the liver and organs
where calomel is indispensable, it is probably
the most effective and least harmful remedial
agent known to the profession.
2. That chemical extract pill can be OBJ
tanned from it which will altogether supersede
the use of calomel in the cure of disease.
8. That he has often successfully treated the
diarrhea with this article alone.
4. That when useii as an article of diet, it is
almost a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia and
Indigestion.
5. That the citizens in ordinary should make
use of it either raw, cooked, or in the form of
catsup, with their daily food, as it is a most
healthy article.

A DANGEROUS PLAcE.-The Walhalla Cou-
,,ier comments in this wise upon the dangerous
and responsible character of the Office of County
Commissioner, and the necessity of selecting
good men for the position:
The office ofCounty Commissioner is one in
volving tho most important and responsible
duties of .any position in the County. The
proper discharge of it's duties requires the pos
session and exercise of sound Judgment, prac-
tical common sense good business ,qualifica-
tions, firmness. integrity, energy and activity
While many may possess some of these leadl:S
reouisites. very few combine them all. There
is no office which so nearly concerns the inter-
ests of the county rs that of County Commits
sioner. They are both judicial and ministerial
officers. Their jurisdiction extends overroads,
highways, ferries, bridges and to all matters
relating to taxes and disbursements of money
for county purposes, and to every other case
that may be necessary to the internal improve
ment and local concerns of their respective
counties. Many matters involving largely tho
necuniary interests of the county are left who'll
fv within their discretion. Notwithstanding
their extended and complicated duties, a very
general impression seems to prevail, that this
office can DO filled by almost any person. AS
consequence in many counties, ignorant ana
incompetent men have been elected, and wheth-
er criminally in intent or not, they have COM
mitted acts which have led to their Indictment,
conviction, punishment and disgrace. Ihere
being no Office, capable ofgreater good or evil
to the county, according as its dutles are dls,
charged, the very best men should be selected
In fi1l if.

THE Moon AS FARMER.-A farmer tells
lis that he does not doubt that fully one half
of the tilers of the soil in this country believe
in the good and bad influences of the moon in
the development of vegetation, and year after
year they follow the directions that have come
down to us from far-of generations of men.
The same remark will hold good for agricultu-
raj communities the world over. Products that
fruit under ground, as potatoes, turnips, &c,
are duly planted in the dark OF the moon,
while those that fruit in the light are planted
or sown in the full of the moon. The same
rule holds they say, in the setting of fence
posts and the laying of shingles if set in the
dark of the moon posts viii, last longer, and
shingles will not curl up as they say they will
do if they are laid in the light of the moon.
Glitch your wagon to star" is a trancenden-
tai sentence of Emersons. Agriculturalists

a wagon this 'hitched" mules, oxen,
steers, COWS, heifers, &C., being. the usual mo-
tors but half the agricultural world seem to
take more stock in astrology than chemistry.

EXTRAORDINARY YGRAT1rUDE.-A number of
years ago. while the Tom Thumb troupe were
travelling through New York, the cash box,
containing several hundred dollars of the funds,
was stolen. Mr.. William P. Miller, who was
tlcn treasurer of the troupe, suspected a girl
who was employed at the hotel where they
were, and his suspicious We're further con-
frmed by her sudden disappearance. He man
aged, however, to get track of her, after some
time had elapsed, and worked up the case SO
we'll that she confessed to him that she had
taken the money to purchase wedding outfit,
and that the marriage was soon to take place.
She refunded half Of the stolen money, and Mr..
Miller decided not to prosecute her for the
balance Shortly after she married wealthy
English gentleman, who was engaged in the
lumber business in Chicago. Not many years
had elapsed when her husband died leaving
her all of his property. A few months ago
she also died, and in her will she left to Mr..
Miller the sum of $500, 10000, as an expression
of her gratitude for not having prosecuted her
when in his power. Mr.. Miller, who is now of
the firm of Miller, Morrison & Co., New York,
recently received letter from her admins
traitor, stating that he could draw on him for
100000 at any time.-M. Y Erprcss

PEAS WITH Corn AND OATS WITH CoTroN

PEAS WITH Corn AND OATS WITH COTTON.
As rule, one crop on the ground at time
is enough, and all crowding is unprohtable.
AS a partial exception, we advise peas with
corn, and in some cases the small grains with
cotton, as they make most of their growth after
the original crop has ceased to require, the soil,
and we repeat hero instructions given last year
on this point: Goats may be sown at the last
working of the cotton, no extra labor being
required except the broadcasting of the seed
between the rows, in advance of the plouighs !;
but oats sown so early in the season require to
be fed off before the final picking of the cotton,
to prevent them from prematurely throwing up
the seed stem. Sheep do this work, with great
benefit to themselves and with no damage to
the cotton, provided, of course, that they are
turned out as soon as the oats are we'll cropped
Wheat, sown later, requires to be covered with
the plough or cultivator. During the winter,
the cotton stalks must be broken down, when
the grain will have full possession of the field.
This plan has been found to work we'll, when
the land has been in good condition and is
worthy of more extensive trial, where labor
and mule-power are scarce; but it does not
permit that thorough preparation of the land
necessary to the best results in small grain
culture. ."-Rural Grrotinian for July.

Hope AND HELP FOR SOUTH CAROLINA
The cause of South Carolina is attracting atten-
t;on everywhere, and it is not impossible that
her condition will be ameliorated, very soon, by
outside pressure brought to bear upon that ele-
ment of power which is most ehectua'. Inc
e. + .onis Repu5lic says zone word from Pres
;Jsnt Grant will work the deliverance of South
Gsroj;na One word from him freed Arkansas
Sron, tbe whole regime of scoundrels who had
fasfened their beaks in her !vitals-changed an
archy irto paace, substituted liberty for oppres-
sion and turned disafection into contentment
Why has It never occurred to the President to
,,se the public patronage for the relief OF South
CarolinaY WHY has it never occurred to the
New York Times to advise it? If it were whls-
peyed throughout the State that Preslden Grant
had Withdrawn his countenance from the local
Republican party which supports Gov. Moses
and his accomplices, and if the rumor were
confirmed by the Peremptory dismissal OF
dozen Republican office-holders and the ap-
,,ointn,ent of as many nom Republicans in their
Erisces-the work would be begun and ended at
The ges same time. Moses aid his confederate
fh;ayes f esq and robbers would quail before tive un-
sxnected sv frown of the President, and the whole
fabric of South Carolina yillany would tumble
to the ground in day, as did the whole fabric
of Arkansas villany, in similar clFcumstan-
ees." ~
We have good authority for believing that
President Grant will, in due season, speak the
saving word called for by the Republican.
Meanwhile every good and true man IN South
Carolina should bestir himself for the redemp-
tion of his State, remembering. that God helps
those who help themselves. .----Aagusta Constifu-

THE RICH MANS ENTRANCE DooR.-That
passage from the New Testament which reads,
sIt is easier for camel" etc., is familiar to all
readers, and has perplexed may good men who
have read it literally. Yet the explanation of
its precise meaning is very simple. In Oriental
cities there are in the large gates small and
yery narrow apertures, called needles as we
talk of windows on ship-board as "bulls' eyes" j."
These entrances are too narrow for q camel to
pass through in the ordinary manner even if
unloaded. When loaded camel has to pass
through one of these entrances, it kneels down,
its load is removed, and then it shufhes through
on its knees; he must kneel and bow his head
to 20 thro' the EYE of needle that is, the
low, arched door of an enclosure; and, thus
the rich man must humble himself when he
enters the gates Of heaven.

The editor of a religious paper says, "In

Take sour apples, dig out the cores, place
the apples in deep dish or tin, fill the cav

We heard a man complain about the

your teams better, and will cost you less than
Northern oats and hay. 1t will enable you to
feed your COWS better, and they will give more
and better milk. Your calves will grow larger

all your barn yard manure, compost your veg
