g Ii Is not ut all necessary or advisable
to place the hives under wall or hedge.
The most convenient plan is to range them
two or three feet apart with the back of
the hives to garden path; this much
facilitates all operations that are required
to be performed, such as putting on or re-
moving superior hives, feeding, etc.
Bee houses are worse than useless, as
they afford shelter and a nursery for all
their worst enemies, and generally in at
tending on one hive you cause annoy
ance and confusion to the whole house
hold. 1t is important In praCticing the
dcpriving system to have every hive ON
its own stand, detached from others.
Never put new swarm of bees IN an
old hive, us there will almost certainly be
the eggs of the honey moth deposited in
the crevices of the hive, which will hatch
out and probably destroy the swarm.
Nothing is more to be dreaded by the bee
keeper than the moth, and when they
once gain an entrance 10 the hive the bees
appear as if pOwerless to expel them, al
though they will seize them savagely at
the entrance. When moths have once es-
tablished themselves in hive, and the
maggots beg in to eat their way through
the combs, the sooner the bees are fumi-
gated and put into another hive the better,
as for them to remain with the moth mag
gots will be certain destruction to them.
Moths, as well as the large slug, may
be taken in great numbers, late on sum.
mcr evenings, by spreading a mixture d
sugar, home made wine and rum on walls
or the stems of tees.
"DO not have a large round entrance
to the hive, making the admission of mice,
large slugs and other enemies an easy
matter; but have an entrance of only
about a quarter of an inch in height and
from an inch in winter to four inches in
length in summer. But a watch must be
kept on the entrance, as sometimes the
weight of the straw hive will press itdown,
stopping the entrance altogether. l have
known many swarms destroyed from this
cause.
"Sheuld wasps or robber bees attack a
hive the only plan is to narrow the en-
trance SO that only one or two bees can
pass at the same time; this enables them
the better to defend their gates and gen
orally to hold their own against all inva
ders.
"a very simple and easy plan of doing
this is to saturate piece of wooden rag
with spirits of turpentine, and put it into
| the entrance of the nest, leave it Their
| for the night and the next morning every
wasp will be dead. A wasp's nest, wheI
removed unbroken, is very extraordinar.
| and beautiful in its construction, and
curiosity quite worthy of preservation"

Outing the session Of the bayopet
Legislature Of january, 1873. his
conduct became SO extravagantly
and unbearably brutal that even
the miserable body Of which he
was member had to cast him out
rs a ruffian too degraded for them
to endure. Aud now that Ward
has been unloaded by the Repu5-
iicans. driven ;orth for crime and
infamy greater than they are will
,ng To be responsible for, it does
seem that we might let the 6end
remain. IN The obscurity to which
the Republicans have righteously
consigned him.
We are told that Ward will re-
veal the secrets Of the Colfix TRACE
d, and that he will inplicate Gov.
Kellogg. Suppose that he does.
Viii anybody believe him, aud
will MT Wards testimony recoil
IN Us far more than it will injure
Gov. Kellogg? We think 50.
Party traitors can sometimes be
turned to valuable account in IN
exciting campaign, but We have
no hesitation i'll saying that the
| El.rty which takes up Ward will
accomplish nothing more than its
ows reproach. We certainly can
not afford to countenance this
creature Ward. We cannot afford
to incar the odlum of forgiviug all
criminals however dab, lical, in
consideration of the crllpe being
clothed IN Democratic ral,nent or
the criminal lending his hell-born
energies to Democratic end.
There is nothing but shame aud
dlsrepute to be gained by convert
ing Ward into speaker to
our clubs and u witness for our
party. The infamy emanating
from such an irreclaimable brute
~ he is kno u to be must fall
solely on those who father him
not Oh those whom he denounces.
Let it hot he inferred from this
that We wish to state or to imply
that our committee or any re-
sponsible element Of the Demo-
crate party has conceived the idea
Of At plying Ward to campaign
purposes. We regard his appear
',nre. Tuesday night, as the
result of mere thoughtlessness,
and are sure that on reflection the
Democratic voters, either of the
Fourth or any other ward, will
realize that 1t is impossible for
tileln to hold any sort Of relations
With snch AL utter fiend as Ward.
There it but one style Of treatment
which Ward deserves at the hands
Of civilization and that is to be
furnished with a hempen necktie
aud made to dance ON nothing.
Even then no wuuld not have ex-
phlied the unuumbered and meal
culabie crimes with which he is
literally saturated.
