AMONG THE BEES IN AUGUST.

In many parts Of the country white
clover is unusually abundant this year. In
our travels, wherever we went, fields and
commons and roadsides were white with
it's blossoms, and the bees were industri-
Ously at work on them. White-clover
honey stands No. in the market. None
other can compare with it either in beau
ty or delicacy of flavor. Hence it should
be kept separate from honey gathered
from other sources. A mixture of white
clover and buck-wheat, or linden even, in
jures the salei in the market. During the
harvest, see to it that the bees have room
to store all the honey they can gather.
If you have empty combs, put them in
the hives as fast as needed. If you have
no empty combs, use the extractor freely,
or keep the bees at work in the boxes.
Colonies should also be kept strong in
numbers, to enable them to gather the
fall harvest and to prepare for winter.
To do this, room for the queen to depos
it her eggs must be furnished. Weak
colonies in the fall very often date their
origin from the honey harvest of July.
The brood chamber is filled with honey to
the exclusion of brood, and certain deter
ioration results. In such cases supply
the empty combs in the brood chamber
either from surplus frames or by the ex-
tractor, exchanging an outside for an in
side frame. Keep honey in cool, dry
place, never in damp cellar, and paste
paper over all the cracks and openings Of
boxes, to exclude ants and other insects

TO KEEP SWEET POTATOES.

/ have found the following plan to be
successful in this part of the country
First dig your potatoes and lei them lay in
the sun until they are dry. Second,
have ready pit sufficiently large to hold
what potatoes you wish to keep over
Put IN the bottom Of the pit six inches of
straw, and then put in your potatoes the
same as you would pit Irish potatoes and
cover them lightly with straw, and let
stay three or four days, until they go
through the ''sweat," then put on more
straw and light covering of dirt. As the
weather gets colder, put on more cover,
enough to keep them warm.
/ have kept my potatoes in that way,
for number of years, and never failed.
The potatoes should not be allowed to
touch the earth Keep straw and chat
tucked around the sides of the pit.

Late. Mahaska-Late, but healthy. Tama
-Seasonable for corn. Jefferson-Rain
prevented working Monona-Injured

MISUNDERSTANDING well on fiat land,
but poor on rolling upland.
The spring wheat is given as follows:

injurious; some reports of Hessian flies.

crop from imperfect SD, and chinches.
Madison-Injured by drought. Mahas-
ka-Looks very badly; poor seed and 9th

OIL AND WATER. The good God and

seems to have placed their candidates
in an awkward position. Thus Mr.. Hard
Money Tilden finds its rather difficult to
frame letter accepting the Presidential
nomination which will "go down" with
the friends of Mr., Soft Money Hendricks.
Eastern Democrats are getting so touchy
upon the matter that it makes one ner-

ing in Presidential harness, for after all j..
the only things the party is really fight
ing for, are the control of public patron
age and the privilege of tramping on the
detesled "niggeP" without the fear Of the
strong arm of government being reached
forth to restrain them. But when we
contrast the awkward position in which
the two champions of "reform" find them
selves with the bold, straight forward and
manly letters of Messrs. Hayes and
Wheeler, the situation Of the former is
not very enviable, to say the least.

SAMUEL j. TILDEN, Chairman.

SOME time since Senator Davis of West
Virginia offered resolution in the Sen
ate calling for list OF deiaulters to the
government from 1860 to 1876 with the
amount of defaication. The purpose OF
the resolution was to furnish campaign
thunder for the Democrats. Some one
moved to amend the resolution so ms to
have Il list of dctalcatioGs. from 1896 to
the present time, and it was adopted.
After severe and long continued labor,
the expenses and the facts, would hardly
warrant publication by Democrats. 1t
proves, however, the following results {:
The losses on every $1,000 of disburse-
ments were, in the administration of
jackson, SOS Van Burcn S2l. Is !;
Harrison, $40 81; Polk, IS 81; TavIor and
Fillmore, 81 81; Pierce $780, Buchanan,
nearly 50 9S; Lincoln, 81 Al; johnson IS
cents; Grant, the first four years, 10 cents; !;
the second tour years, 26 cents. This is
exclusive of the Postotcc; which admin
isters its own revenue. In the Postoflice
the loss has gone down from Sll.lS on
the 81 600 in Jackson's administration,
and $50 10 in Van Buren's to l.59 for
the first term of Grant, and 81 0l for the
second, with an average OF SI3l for the
whole period.
