The second season would Weld 500
pounds, or S150-amounting in the two
seasons to 1888. 40. This gives more
/ than four times the cost in two seasons:
and the average for many seasons NAV

the results of actual experiment, hav-
ing received the average given from
four hives the first and second seasons.
+ they being the first two seasons in
which | placed swarms III the Eureka
hives. and the honey was SO white and
/ fine that it brought me 80 cents per
! pound.
Let me advise my farmer friends how
/ to proceed i'll this matter. Get from
one to four hives; according to your
/ honey field and faith; Ike them to q
bee-keeper, who will place good first
swarm in each hive; and remove them
nome. Or if the seller is pleased to let
1 them stand till fall, place boxes on
them and let them stand till then. At
/ the proper time in the fall remove the
/ boxes, and take all home. With hives
so constructed as to prevent the dispo-
sition to swarm, and the number linn
tied to the capacity of the field, L have
no doubt they would sometimes do bet
ter than this, as [ have had 200 pounds
from one hive III one season. On this
plan, there IS little to do but to place and
remove the boxes IN the proper time. If
the hive is SO constructed as to give ample
room in the breeding and wintering
apartment, feeding is rendered I'M
necessary. If proper means are used to
give room in the surplus boxes for all
the colony the whole season, before any
preparation is made for swarming, and
the hives are etfectually shaded from
the sun, no watching for swarms will
be required, and no time necessarily
devoted to them but to put Oh the sur
plus boxes in season and remove them
when full; and this may even be done
by neighbor accustomed to the bust
ness, if one is apprehensive of danger
In performing these, or any other opera
tons about the hive.
When / feel assured in my mind
that millions. of dollars worth of honey
is lost every year, of which the farmers
of the country might avail themselves,
and for their expenses and trouble get
two, three or four hundred per cent in
clear profits, | can hardly be satisfied
that this state of things should be con
tinued, or such trit1ing efforts be made
for securing such an advantage, both to
the farmers and the public. [ think [

Ten Rules for Farmers.

1. Take good papers and read them.
3 Keep an account of farm opera
TONS
3. Do not leave implements scatter
ed over the. farm, exposed to snow,
rain, and heat
T. Repair tools and buildings at a
proper time, and do not suffer sub
sequent threefold expenditure of time
and money.
5. Use money iudiciously, and do
not attend auction sales to purchase
all kinds of trumpery because it is
cheap.
6. See that fences are well repaired,
and cattle not grazing i'll the meadows,
or grain fields, or orchards.
7. DO not refuse to make correct ex-
periments, in a small way, of many
new things.
8. Plant fruit trees well, care for
them, and OF course get good crops.
9. Practice economy by giving stock
shelter during the winter; also good
food, taking out all that is unsound,
half rotten, or mouldy.
10. Do not keep tribes of cats and
snarling dogs around the premises, who
eat more in a month than they are
worth III life time.

There are two reasons why farmers
should keep bees: First, because their

a son who was rather fast, and to en-
courage him to do better the father
gave him an interest in his store. The
young man at once devoted himself to
business, and the success of the firm
WAS marvellous. At the end of two

dashed off these lines;

chickens as soon as out Of the egg, and
having experimental with a variety of
substances, understandings recommends

when they are from twelve to twenty

the oil to thoroughly wet down the
feathers, and never have occasion to re-
peat the operation.
Per contra. Prof. Riley says, in the
New York Tribune that these parasites
propagate by meaus of eggs, which, ut
the time Of their maturity, contain Gill
ated embryos, capable of active pro-
gression. This Is positively known,

the present species Is mere conlec-
ture.
Prof y J.. Nerrill, in the report of
the Connecticut state board of agrlcul-
ture for 1869, says, IN speaking OF this
gap--worm The history of the young
worms, after they are expelled from the
windpipeof the birds, is not yet known,
however. Possibly they may enter the
bodies of insects to pass their laryal
state, but it Is more probable that they
bury themselves IL the surface of the
soil OF other moist places, end are thus
picked mp directly by tie birds and
gain admittance to the windpipe by
their own active motions.

IndInm Torn n Food.

The difficulty that is found i'll grow
ing potatoes, together with the high
price of flour, suggests the question
whether the value of Indian corn, and
its proper preparation us food for human
beings, is we'll understood. Chemical
analysis shows that corn is rich in the
clements that nourish the body, while
practical experience, III some Instances,
seems to show doubt upon its whole
BOmeHeSS.
The truth is, that while corn is full of
nutrition, it is not practically very nu-
tritious. This seeming incongruity is
easily explained That portion of the
kernel which is hard and filthy, is satu-
rated with an oil which is not easily ex-
PEELED In the process of cooking, and
which is an element most difficult for
the stomach to digest Thus, while the
elements of nutrition are III the corn,
there is SO much vital energy wasted Ill
adapting it TO the wants of the system.
that the loss is nearly equal to the
profit.
This oil, which makes corn 50 diff
cult of digestion, and, therefore, SO un-
popular, IS easily expelled by klln-dry-
ing. Corn meal and hominy, after
being Kindred, may be readily and
thoroughly cooked III twenty minutes.
either by boiling OF baking.
The Indians long since made this dis
covery, and on journeys that taxed then
physical strength to the utmost, sub
sisted upon parched corn.
Every family should be provided witt
kiln adapted to this purpose, and a
the same time capable of being used fol
drying fruit.
What inventor enrich and immor
talize himself by giving to the public :

that will answer the purpose?

Memorial to Prince Albert of England.

The memorial to the late Prince Al
bert at Windsor Castle, erected by the
ROYAL Princess and Processes, is now
nearly finished The Illustrated Lon
don News says: The memorial is
formed within the wall of Cardinal VOL
sey's Chapel, a building once known as
the Tomb House, situated between the
Dearney and St. Georges Chapel Or the
Castle Hill. \ number of Mosaic pOr
traits of kings and queens, and other
perSonages connected with the history
of the Castle, have been placed in the
panals of the false windows at the west
end of the chapel. The panels Of the
ceiling are also filled with Mosaic work.
The late Baron Triquili was entrusted
with the work of covering the walls be
meath the windows with marble pictures
of scriptural subjects, and when these
were completed the sarcophagus of the
Prince, surmounted by white marble
effigy of Albert the Good" clad in
medieval armor, with the head repos-
ing upon pillow, which is supported
by two angelic figures, was placed upon
the polished plarhle floor at the east end
of the chapel, the face OF the eifigy be
ing toward the reredos. The latter is
a beautiful conception i'll white marble
of the resurrection, with gilded mar
bic canopy, the whole being enclosed
in chastely arranged frame of mosaic
and colored marbles. Between the sills
of the windows and the marble inlaid
work of Baron Triquiti there is a series
of white marble bas-reliefs, sculptured
by Miss Durant, who, like the Baron, has
not lived to see the completion Of the
chapel. Beneath the marble seats are a
series of bronze grills, consisting OF
monographs of 'V. A. devices of the
Royal arms, the falcon and fetlock, the
