spot in which to begin their labors. In
the Spring Of the year large females
may be often observed exploring every
cavity, hole or crevice in banks or on
the ground; they are seeking fit
site for their operations. We will now
suppose one of these queens to have
formed and established herself in her
chamber; she begins to collect honey
and pollen, and constructs cells in which
her eggs are to be deposited. SO rap
idly are the latter built, that to make
cell, fill it with honey and pollen (the
food of the young), commit one or two
eggs to it, and cover them in, requires
a little more than half an hour Her
first and most numerous brood consists
only of workers, which are as soon ex-
cluded from the pupa, assist their parent
in all their labors. Her next consists
of large and small females and males
these appear in August or September;
but if Huber be correct, the male eggs,
or some of them at least, arc laid in the
Spring with those that have to produce
workers. We have now and then small
and large females, males, and workers,
the produce of the original queen who
singly began to found the establishment.

CORN.
ORCHARD GRASS.

W. F. Tullant, Montgomery Co., Va,
who has furnished, heretofore, the
RURAL New YORKER with his estimate
of the value of orchard grass, thus
writes the COUNTRY GENTLEMAN:
Orchard grass is ready to cut by
the first of June, and can all be cured
before wheat harvest commences, and
the second crop will keep until harvest
is over. Now | know orchard grass
cut at the right time (and there is no
reason why it cannot always be cut at
the right time) is better than timothy
cut at the wrong time. There is no
time more convenient for cutting hay
than the first of June, and no time more
inconvenient than the first of July
Hay buyers will do well to remember
this and look at the quality of the hay
and not at the kind only
For my part, ! prefer orchard grass
hay to timothy hay. as it has more
blades. Timothy dies out in course of
a few years, while an orchard grass
sod Gf not pastured too close) will not
only never die out, but will continue to
get better and better each year for
many years. | have ascertained bv
experiments that orchard grass will
root out all other grasses. Even our
common bluegrass and the small blue
wire-grass have to give way to it where
the land is not pastured but moved
When land is to be pastured, nothing
can excel a good sod of common blue
grass, but it takes years for a good blue
grass sod to form, even here. where it
comes naturally, while orchard grass
forms sod at once. l think, therefore,
that orchard grass should have the
preference, even as pasture grass
One acre of orchard grass will afford
as much pasture as two or three of
clover or timothy | am confident tina.
orchard grass will make two pounds
of hay on the same land that timothy,
clover, redtop, or any other that know,
will make one. | might except one
kind, tall meadow oat grass, which
makes an immense amount of hay, but
for reasons, l have not space to mention,
orchard grass is to be preferred to it.
Bluegrass on bottom lands will some
times make nearly as much hay, but on
uplands orchard grass will make four
time as much as bluegrass | believe
timothy to he an impoverisher of land,
while orchard grass forms such an
immense sod that believe turning a
sod of it under is equal to any clover
sod. There is one thing all must
remember, that orchard grass will make
but little hay the first year, but the
second year one will have to tear down
his barns and build greater ones, or do
as had to do-il the barns and stack
the remainder out of doors"

PLASTER ON MANURE PILEs.-No
farmer who pays any attention to the
collection of homemade manure-and
what farmer deserves the name who
does not attend to this important mat
ter ?-should be without barrel or two
of ground land-plaster to sprinkle over
his manure heaps from time to time, to
prevent the evaporation of their am
monia. The cost Of plaster is very
triflng, and is compensated five fold by
preventing the waste of manures from
evaporation. A very tidy but IMPROVE
dent friend Of ours, who kept large
number of fowls of ali sorts and paid
considerable attention to their cleanli-
ness, had his fowl house thoroughly
swept every week, and in short time
collected a large pile of most valuable
manure. BY leaving it exposed to the
sun, wind and rain it became practically
worthless, having lost nearly all its
ammonia. Had he sprinkled it with
land-plaster, at a cost of few cents,
he could have fixed the ammonia and
preserved its value. The same is true
of all heterogeneous manure. Its loses
heavily by exposure unless plaster be
used to stay the waste.
1t is bad farming to leave manure
uncovered. 1t should be kept under
shelter where the wind and rain cannot
injure it, and even there plaster should
be used but where it is uncovered, plas-
ter is essential to preserve it.

The Humble Bee.
From the american Stock journal.

From the american Stock Journal
The common humble bee, which all
the Summer long we see wandering
over clover fields and through gardens,
busy with every flower and assiduouslv
trying nectary after nectary with its
proboscis. If one of these bees be
watched with little patience and some
tact, it will lie traced to its retreat,
where it has labored in constructing
cells and laying up store of honey
The domicil of the humble bee is "a
simple excavation in some bank, a little
chamber of about six or eight inches in
diameter, to which leads long winding
passage, capable of admitting of the
lngress and egress respectively of two
bees at the same time Some species,
as the bombus muscorum, select a shall

STIRRINGTHE SoIL.-The great object

STIRRINGTHE SolL.-The great object
in stirring the soil among growing crops
is to allow the air to enter and circulate
through it. This air has several fav-
orable influences on the soil but the
most important matter is that the air
thus coming in contact with a large
surface of pulverzed soil imparts its
moisture to the soil which in turn i'm
parts it to the root of the plant. The
root of the plant which are adapted to
take moisture from the soil cannot take
it from tie air, nor very well when i'm
mersed in water. Grains of wheat
suspended over water will sprout and
send down into the water large num-
Der of roots, and grow for some time
finely but if these roots are taken and
put into the earth, they are not we'll
adapted to sustain the plant, and in con-
sequence, these roots must perish and
give place to others before the plant
can go on growing. This accounts for
the fact often observed that severe
dry spell after very wet time is so
hard on plants. The plants have, dur
ing the time when the soil was loaded
with moisture, adapted themselves and
their roots to this wet condition of the
soil, and when it suddenly turns dry,
they are not in a condition to stand dry
weather. The only remedy for this
difficult is to keep the surface well STIR
red and in time the plants will adapt
themselves to the new condition.
