Any one can keep bees profi;a-

- but when a person works with
bees be should use a protector, at

Every bee keeper should from
now on till apple trees bloom, feed
their bees every few days with su-
gar syrup, or honey diluted with
water. No matter if the hive is
fall of honey the feeding will slim
late the queen and cause her to
lay great deal faster, and by the
time the honey season sets IN the
hive will be full of bees ready for
it. Feeding with syrup should
only be done late in tue evening,
after the bees are all in the hive,
as there will then be no danger OF
robbing. A very simple way to
feed is to place an empty backing
box. or fruit can lid at the en-,
trance Of each hive into which
pour the syrup or honey. The
bees will carry it into the hive in
a very short time. In my next, |
will tell your readers how | man

The Proposed Plan of Settlement Finally
Adopted.

The adjourned meeting of the creditors of
Saturday and the plan of settlement proposed
at the former meeting adopted. The trustees
named are Messrs. Chas. Allen, VIM. B. Ba.
COD, and Willard p. Phillips. The scheme
must have legislative sanction, and commit
mittee of bondholders will present it to the
General Court of Massachusetts, at an early
day. Gen. Butler made suggestion that the
rate of interest for the first three years was too
large. He also told the stockholders that by
this plan there was prospect of keeping the
stock alive and of its becoming of value at some
future day, while bankruptcy would wipe the
stock out of existence at once
Speaking of the plan adopted the Boston
Journal says 1t is entirely in the interest of the
bondholders. The stockholders have small
show of having their rights in the franchise of
the road sept III existence. If the road should
net sufficient to pay the interest on the new
$15,0O0,O 900 bonds after a mortgage is secured.
then the stock will continue to have specula-
tive value. If the road again defaults the
stock will 60 cut Of existence. The property of
the road through gross msmanagement Is
held for debt which is iD excess of the value
OF the road. The bondholders therefore pro-
pose to secure by mortgage all there is. If the
road ever becomes so remunerative that the
earnings exceeds the interest on the indebted.
ness, the surplus will be applied to a sinking
fund to reduce the principal of the debt When
the debt shall have been reduced to ten mil
lions, which is the estimate value of the road,
then and not till then will the stock have a
show of receiving dividend
