n PROFIT of Bees.

st. Louis Republican,
One of the arts in farming-and, in
deed, in everything else-is to manage
SO as to getthe profits on somebody else's
labor. 1t is the practicu of this delicate
art that makes men rich in other voca-
tons; they shake the tree at the proper
time, and the fruit falls at their feet.
The art is at the command of the farmer
no less than it is at the command Of the
capitalist; and Mr.. NJ. e. McMaster, of
Shelbyville, Mo-, in a letter to the
Western Agriculturist gives a hint about
the way to take advantage of it. There
are no harder workers in the world than
bees; they are honest, faithful, indus.
trious, economical and patient laberers;
and when they have a fair show, will
make enough in a season, to do them,
and a good surplus over, besides. One
Of the tricks a farmer should learn is
that Of encouraging bees to make as
large a surplus as possible and then
taking possession of it for his own benefit
taking care, of course, not to
rob them 80 severely as to leave them
not enough to live on through the win
ter. Mr.. McMaster's standard hive is a
simple box with a cover and a bottom
board, large enough to hold twenty
frames, with a movable division board
for enlarging or reducing the spaces. In
this box are fitted frames ten inches
deep by fourteen long. Last season, his
thirty-6ve stands yielded him the follow
ingproduet: June, 1894 lbs. July, 554 lbs. /;
August, l52 lbs; September, 1850 lbs /;
October, $50 lbs.-total, $500 lbs. This
is II pounds of honey and a little over
per stand. The value Of it at the low
rate Of l24 cents a pound was 1912, and
that Of the ten swarms of bees at $40
per swarm, produced during the season,
was 500, making the value Of the whole
product S4l2-a nice little sum to be
| had for so little trouble.

NorMnY.

In its general aspect, Norway pre-
sents the most unpromising conforma-
ton of surface for farming operations
that a well be conceived. Mountain
eanges, with plateaus whose altitude
precludes cultivation, and from which
rise mountains that reach an elevation
of 5000 feet above the sea, prevail gen.
orally throughout the country. Except
in the south, the mountain tops are
covered with snow for the greater part,
if not all the year, their slopes, when
not absolutely Inaccessible, are far too
rocky and abrupt for farming settlements.
The deeper valleys that intersect these
mountain ranges and which ramify with
the ~contortions Of the hills are channels
up which the sea sends its tides; above
the level of these fords are other water
worn valleys, which convey the overflow
of the mountain lakes, subsisted
by countless streams that in vary
ing volume leap from the hill as
waterfalls, or rush foaming down the
mountain side-the impervious print.

hitting the absorption of the melting
SHOWS or the summer rains. There ex-
lists, therefore, a very extensive super
fetal area that presents physical as we'll
as climatic difficulties of a character
not to be surmounted by the most enter
prising %cultivators. With few excep-
tons, the homestead Of the Norsk
farmer is built on the lower slopes of the
hills, where, in fact, the wash Of the
rocky surfaces, in broken stone and
silly soil, has accumulated to a sufficient
depth for the operation of the pillow, or
on the embarked levels of loamy soil,
the deposit left by ancient rivers, or
when rich lacustrine alluvium is met
with, or where moraines are spread out
at the embouchure of glacier grooved
and expansive valleys forming suitable
sites Of scattered hamlets and little
farms.

The secret of the social Queens.

l have often wondered at the singular
influence possessed by some women; and
| have always found that they we're wo.
men who looked up 10 themselves-not
necessarily brilliant persons, not neces-
sarily witty, but original fof course, a
person is original who takes great pains
to form his or her own convictions) and
then, as most women are very sympathe
tic, this combination of originality and
sympathy makes them the most charm
ing companions-more charming, OF
course, than men of the like self-respect-
ing nature, because such men may not
be sympathetic, whereas the women are
nearly lure to be so. You may depend
upon it that Cleopatra not only sym
pathized with Anthony, but had ideas
and views of her own which greatly in
terested and attracted him. And so with
the great ladies in France who ruled
certain sections of society. You may
take it for granted that they we're wo-
men who looked up to themselves. We
have had fewer Of such women in Eng
land-that is, ostensibly; but you will
find that in most circles, even in remote
country places, there are women Of the
kind | mean, who have immense power
in the form of influence .-["Social
