How nnd ANhaiIn Feed Bees.

There are more than a dozen letters
before us asking us how to make sugar
syrup for bees There is no mystery
about this: Simple sugar-coffee A is
best-dissolved by pouring boiling
water over it. It really makes little
difference whether it is fed thick or
thin, when the bees can fly and get
water. We have fed sugar dry, sugar
simply moistened, sugar dissolved and
sugar made into candy; but if we must
give a rule for the syrup, we will say a
gallon of water to four pounds of sugar
is amply sufficient to winter colony
from November to April if they had not
pound of honey.-NatiOnal Bee

Gain i'll Pigs.

BY an experiment reported by j. ".
Zigler, of Laporte County, Ind, it APP
pears that he fed 1913 bushels 90
pounds each) of corn on the ear to 80
hogs; that they ate it up in 26 days;
that it was fed on the ground in an
acre lot, and that at the beginning the
pigs weighed 6, 400 pounds, and when
killed $3.50, showing a gain of $3.50
pounds, or at the rate of one pound of
pork from four and three-fifths pounds
of shelled corn. The corn was worth 35
cents per bushel, aud the hogs sold for
an advance over first value of S107 80,
leaving $40. % as the profit, or realizing
50 cents for the corn when fed, instead
of 30 cents the market value. In a
second experiment 10 hogs were fed 100
bushels OF old shelled corn, on the floor
of a close pen, in A. days, and gained
2,770 pounds, or Zone pound of pork
from three of corn" In the first case
one bushel made 12f pounds of pork
and IN the second 49,.
L. II. Weller, a Chickasaw County,
Iowa, farmer, sold in Nashau seven
hogs, dressed which weighed 2,SS0
pounds, the heaviest one weighing 572
pounds. Mr. W. says the secret of
fattenirg hogs is care and feed. Pork
at 7.65 dressed, can be fattened with 70
oats and 80 cent corn a profit of % per
cent over cost. He says he feeds one
third oats aud two-thirds corn, mixed,
ground, and soaked. Dry. warm beds
are indispensable.

Fink Culture,

This product Is attracting unusual at
tention just now, owing partly to the
to the fact that it appears to defy des-
structive insects of every kind, but the
present interest in its cultivation is
doubtless largely due to the recent ac-
ton of Congress in restoring the duty
Of Sc per ton on ''jute butts. Under
this law, the fax thread which has gone
10 waste will be in demand for the man
ufactUre of sacks and bags. We sub
join directions for its culture for seed,
sent by practical farmer in answer to
inquiries of a subscriber. only differing
with the writer as TO the quantity OF
seed which should be not less than a
bushel. or even FIVE pecks, to the acre:
Fall bresking is preferable for fax,
as well as other crops. The ground
should be as free from weeds possible.
Flax after the castor beans has furnish
ed the results. A light crossplowing
in the spring, followed by good har-
rowing. will leave the ground In a fine
state of filth. Sow or drill one half
bushel 70 the acre: brush or harrow
lightly, then roll. The time of sowing
must be regulated so as to escape frosts.
ANY first class reaper will cut flax, sue
cessfully. Cut when the seed is ripe.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DISEASE CURED.

Dir. PIERCE, Buffalo \. y:
Dear Su-AIy wife first became lame nine
years ago. Swellings would appear aid dis
appear on her hips, and she gradually be-
coming reduced. and her whole system rotten
with disease. In 1871 a swelling broke on her
hip discharging large quantities, and since
that time there are several openings. Have
had five doctors at an expense of S125, who
say nothing will do any good but a surgical
operation.
July 10th. 1873, he writes thus: My wife
has certainly received great benefit from the
use of your Discovery, for she was not able to
get off the bed and was not expected to live a
week when she commenced using 1t, a year
ago. She has been doing most of her work
for over six months. Has used twenty bottles
and still using it. Her recovery is considered
as almost miracle. and we attribute it all TO
the use of your valuable medicine. [ can
cheerfuly recommend it as a blood par1fier
and strength restorer. j. NJ. RoPINsoN.

The Source of Salt.

The sea depends on the disintegra-
ton of rocks OF land for salt. It does
originate III oceans and seas. Rains
wash it and hold it in solution as parti-
cles are liberated by violence, decompo-
sition, and gradual action of many nat
ural forces. All streamlets and rivers,
therefore, are constantly transporting
salt to the sea- If there is more than
can be held in solution, then it accumu-
lates in masses at very deep points.
Thus the salt mines of Portland and the
vast horizontal beds of pure salt in Tex
as, as well as that mountain of rock salt
IN st. Domingo, were collected at the
bottom Of ancient seas, which are now
dry land remote from water. There are
places in Africa where the process of
ularly going on, but there is not water
power enough to force it onward to the
sea- Hence the particles are spread
abroad and mixed with the soil TIE
negroes of Northern Africa having dis
covered it's distribution where there is
no water to dissolve in the ground leach
it. In that way they separate the salt.
Salt pervades the earth 1t exists in
the grasses and most vegetable products
on which animals feed. In that way
they derive enough In most countries to
meet the demands OF their natures
They require as much as civilized hui
mainly. With them salt is necessary,
as with ourselves, for keeping the or
gans of vision in good condition. Stop
the supply and blindness would ensue.
