Combs

The first horn combs manufactured
in this country were made in West
Newburry, Mass, just after the Rev
%clutionary War. A Hessian settled
there who was accustomed to the
working of horns into buttons aud
combs, aud from him the art-if the
rude workmanship of that day was
worthy to be called an art-was
taught TO the native population.
West Newbury has continued to lead
in the business ever since, and to-day
it is one ofthe largest comt-making
towns in Massachusetts.
Forty years ago ladies' combs,
which were lar er than ladies' bon.
nets are now, used to be made in
Newburyport for the South American
market. They were often two or
three feet wide, encircling two thirds
OF The head, and from six inches to a
foot high Oh the back, the top being
wrought in open work and to the7a
the Spanisb-American ladies attach
ed their wells. Oue comb consumed
three horns, OF an equal quantity of
she'll; and as much of the work was
done by hand and with tie saw. andtbe
polishing was entirely manual labor.
the prices were high-from twenty
to fifty dollars.

Bees.

The California A~gricuHugiSt
saws there are two million beehives
in the United States, each hive Weld
ing a little over twenty-five pounds
of honey in a year. The average
price at which honey is sold is esti-
mated at twenty-five cents a pound,
from which it appears that bees, after
paying their own board, present US
with a revenue of about SO, 900, 900
a year. Or, it may be said, that
they give a pound of pure honey TO
every man, woman and child ia the
United States. The g~ricuHurist
estimates the profits on the sale of
surplus honey at from City to two
hundred per cent. on the capital in
vested. But all bees are not as well
educated as those of California.
The honey that to US from Cal
ifornia, when not cut up and bottled,
is contained in little square wooden
frames, probably six by six inches,
10 which the bees deposit it ready for
transportation. Tue upper side of
the otherwise fat frame is made of a
thin piece of wood shaped like a V.
The bees begin building on the low
er point Of the V, and are thus made
to keep their wax structure in the
middle of the frame. After the hon
ey has been deposited the frames may
be packed closely together, aud each
layer is kept separate from the others
by The projecting sides of the frame.
California honey usually reaches
eastern markets ID ibis way, but for
retail sale il taken :ros, the frames
and packed in glass bottles or jars.

With the increasing cost Of fencing
material, II becomes a more interest
ing question TO the farmer. How can
| economically build new and repair
old fences? A western man sug-
gests the use of sods, and writes:
"In England and Ireland they have
the sod fence | have seen il in
this country occasionally, haJ think
if our farmers knew il, practical
merits We should see it o@:seIer. 0hly
dig two ditctes two feet apart, three
feet wide, and two feet deep; throw
the dirt from the bitches ol the space
between, beat it down Till it has some
hardness.and give it enough Slant to
prevent 'caying,' and you have a
fence for a lifetime. In most cases
here we need no turf or 'whin bushes
as they do, for in a year the bank
will be covered by a luxuriantgrowth
of blackberry bushes, answering
every parpose. Even where timber
is plenty, We can make this fence
cheaper than almost any other.
