WINTER IN CELLARS. In perusing
your valuable journal, | find many ad-
vocating keeping bees in dry cellars, or
dry and well-ventilated rooms, and mt a
temperature above the freezing point
This is as it should be. have tried many
devices, but never found any that comes
so near to perfection. The winter of
1869 was disastrous to bees ia this State,
many losiu., their entire stock. My bees
were SHELTERED ia cave built in the side
of dry hill: all came out ia good order,
while other aQiarians in this section lost
nearly all, and the cause generally as
cribed was bad honey. | would just say,
if there if any stock that need sheltering
in winter, 1t is bees.
There is nothing on the farm that
seems to give life to all around rs well
cared-for stock of bees The question
is often asked What makes your bees
so smart and make such lots of honey?
We don't get honey from our bees" If
the bees are allowed to nearly all die
through the winter, it will take nearly
all summer to reeupeTate, and then be
weak. The plan | take is to keep my
bees strong in numbers, remove the hon
ey board, put straw mattiugs over the
comb frames. see that they are well ven
tilated at the bottom, place them in
winter quarters before hard freezing, let
them remain quiet until it comes warm
and pleasant in spring, and not get them
out too early. The longest time or latest
period of bees being kept in cave. was
till the 4th of July. They were then ia
ken out, and have done finely This
goes to show that bees will live long
time, if kept quiet and still in dark
place. | consider noise or occasional
light disastrous to bees in winter quar-
ters. They will eat double the honey
and bee bread, and dirty up every part
of the hive. | doubt whether bees can
be wintered where there Is great
amount of noise, successfully. Build a
place for your bees; it is money well laid
out.-COT Practical Farmer.

Always Liberal.

We have a German farmer IN this
neighborhood, who sets us all a good
example. He commenced life as hired
man. He has now one of the best farms
in the town, and is adding acre to acre.
Whatever he does is done well. He
never seems TO be in n hurry. But he
commences to plow in the spring before
some of us begin to think about getting
the plows ready, and he has ten or TWEEN
ty acres of barley sown before some of
US have plowed a furrow. He is always
ahead. Everything is in its place; every
thing in good repair and ready for use at
a moments notice His land is getting
cleaner every year-and l was going to
say richer, but j am not so sure on this
latter point. have sometimes thought
he was running his land rather hard.
But there is certainly no diminutiOn in
the crops His farm would sell for fifty
per cent. more than he paid for it, while
other farms nave not increased in value.
The secret of success, in hIs case, is first
in the man himseIf-in his industry, So
briefly and good judgment. And in the
next place, think it is due principally
to the fact that he plows early, and
plows late and plows well, and pIows
often; and he uses the harrow and the
roller until his soil is mellow and in good
order for the seed. Then he cultivates
his corn AID potatoes aud beans the mo-
meet he can see the rows and he suffers
not a weed to grow and go TO seed.
ought to add that he has ffYe energetic
sons to help him, aud, while he hires lit
tie or no labor, there is a large amount
of work done on the farm In fact, say
what you viii there is, never has been
and never will be, good farming without
the expenditure of considerable labor.

WOMAN AS A MASTER FARMER. -
Would it not be source of pleasure to
a sensible young college educated farmer
that his future wife had studied all the
principles that apply to his occupation,
and would thus understand and appre-
ciate all his plans? There is a silly
squeamishness about American ideas of
woman's sphere, that does not obtain in
educated classes In England or on the
Continent. A friend related conver-
sation between himself and an English
lady of rank, while on a railway train.
Passing a field of wheat where the plant
was only high enough TO show well, he
remarked that the rows seemed too near
together, when she replied: mo, they
are ten inches apart, the approved dis
tanee," and then went into an explana
ton of the different modes of drilling. -
Shortly they passed a herd of cattle;
when he remarked upon them as Ayr
shires. she replied, ''No. they are short
tloras, and very fine animals, too" She
then explained the characteristics of the
breeds. He was surprised TO find so &C
eomplished lady far in advance of him
self ia the knowledge of agriculture
Sach examples are numerous there, but
surprising TO find here. Lady Pigot is
accustomed to take her prizes at the
fairs. aad is new proposing TO write n

Mechi, ''iron wire fences. iron sheep

Garrett, thirty odd years ago, but all

poultry appear to be nearly everlasting,
while the water in them is always ac-

troughs very convenient in the sheep

their being upset by the sheep, and the
water lost. The temperature of the wa

such frames, for 1 should never grow up
enough to fill my Eew, great barn. We

an American naturalist, in the CLEAN

ally of the most malicious nature.
Cats have the same look when irritat-

seen to whirl round and round in
circle, near the ground, not in the u.s.
ual manner Of flying, but with a short,
frightened, tluttering motion, till 1t

in the mouth OF the snake. Now, we
believe a cat is the only quadruped
that will face snake. We have
watched big tomcat stare at n large
snake for an hour together, puss all
the time with his back up, his hair on
end and his tail gently waving to and
fro ; the snake, at the same time,
gazing just as intently on the cat.

DROSPECTUS FOR 1876 OF THE

WE friends of healthy literature have, by

other means could he do so much for the fu-
ture of neghborhood us by placing good
reading in every family.
Successive attacks upon the WITNESS
during each Of the past three years, culminat-
ing in what has been called "The Ban" of the
Roman Catholic Bishop of Montreal, although
not otherwise desirable circumstances, have
done great deal to concentrate and intensi-
ty the zeal Of the friends ofTempcrance and
religious liberty in favor Of the WITNESS.
Indeed, the fact tn at the last assault has been
followed up Tor six months with the most un.
firing efforts to break down the paper on the
part OF the most powerful moral opposition
that could be organized on earth, and has re-
suited in cutting us of from some, at least, Of
those Roman Catholic readers whose good

freedom Of religious belief. The actual di-

The following effuson was written as
the address of letter sent from San Fran
cisco to gentleman in Jacksonville, Ill. :
In the middle of the backjacks, in the city
of the plain.
On the creek called Mauvaisterre, where the
bull-frog's sweet refrain
Lulls one to sleep at evening and wakes at
morn again;
Where the bilious-looking women and cad
averous-looking men
Take quinine all the daytime till the bull
frog croaks again;
Where the Shiny. looking reptiles glide
whenever you appear,
And with croak jump off the log into the
Mauvaisterre-
Lives my young friend, ----, who has
as much renown
For wit and bubbling humor as any man in
town.
Therefore, P. NJ. of Jacksonville, observe if
he's about
You'll know him by his curly hair and
little turn-up snout,
And if you chance to see him out there
among the boys.
That l have left behind in the State of
Illinois
Pleaee hand to him this letter and say to him
for /:
That everything is lovely and the goose
hangs high.

Rest.

The following lines were found under IL
How of soldier who was lying dead in
'spital near Port Royal, South Carolina:
| lay me down to sleep,
With little thought or care
Whether my waking find
Me here or there.
A bowling, burdened head,
That only asks to rest,
unquestioning, upon
A loving breast.
My good right hand forgets
It's cunning now
To march the weary march,
| know not how.
l am not eager, bold,
Nor strong-all that is past
l am ready not to do
AT last, at last.
My half days work is done,
And this is all my part
Igive patient God
My patient heart,
And grasp his banner still,
Though all its blue be dim;
These stripes no less than stars,
Lead after Him.
