tablished themselves in hive, and the
maggots begin 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-
mer evenings, by spreading mixture OF
sugar, home made wine and rum on walls
or the stems of trees.
"Do not have 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 quarter of an inch in height, and
from an incn In winter to four inches In
length in summer. But watch must be
kept on the entrance, as sometimes the
weight Of the straw hive viii press il down,
stopping the entrance altogether. / have
known many swarms destroyed from this
cause.
SHOULD wasps or robbcr bees attack a
hive the only plan is to narrow the en-
trance so that only one or two bees can
pass al the same time; this enables them
the better to defend their gates and gen
orally 10 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 1t into
the entrance of the nest, leave 1T there
for the night and the next morning every
wasp will be dead A wasp's nest, when
removed unbroken, is very extraordinary
and beautiful in its construction, and
curiosity quite worthy OF preservation.

Pulling nj the Halter.

A correspondent asks how he shall
break his horse from pulling at the hal
ter. The answer is very simple.
Don't use a halter! But instead pro-
cure a strong neck-strap with "A ring at
one end and a heavy strap at the other,
and a loose ring between them. To the
loose ring attach very strong leather
hitching- strap or rope. BE sure that every
part is so strong as to be beyond the power
of the horse 10 break BY this, hitch the
horse to an equally strong fastening and
let him pull. A few vain efforts will soon
convince him that he is conquered, and a
continued use of the neck strap n short
time will make the cure complete.
| had q fine horse that was addicted to
pulling, and was constantly diverting
himself by breaking up all the haltcrs and
brides that could be applied TO his head.
An application of the neck strap beat him,
and, after using it few days, tow string
would hold him ever after.
Another high-spirited horse acquired
the habit of rushing from his stall the in
slant his halter was removed, and II be-
came almost impossible 10 bride him.
The use Of the neck -strap while being
bridled very soon effected perfect cure.
Announcer uOTst Iuu u Hhblt va hiiohihE
his head so high that two or three men
were required to bride him, which be-
came serious matter, but was speedily
cured by tying his head down with aneck'
strap, so that a child could bride him
even in the pasture by simply throwing
the rein over his neck.
The neck-strap has still greater merit
The halter is fruitful source OF poll.
evil and other diseases of the head, and
to II charge large proportion OF such
cases. The horse is extremely sensitive
about the head, and an uncomfortable
halter often causes habits, blemishes and
disease that become serious defects and
materially depreciate the worth OF an 9th

accomplished without great deal of diff.
Guilty and suffering. After the fifth day
he became very sick, and it was with the
greatest force that he swallowed the sixth
bird. From Christmas Day to Jan. he
suffered great nausea, and each bird was
eaten with equal difficulty and disgust.
He said that If he hadn't 60, mad every
time he sat down to his bird he never
would have accomplished the undertak-
ing. Said the little Frenchman:
Ven / sit down re bird ne look good,
but feel 70 zick in re stomach think |
can't eat him no more, bur / go mad, /
chew him up bones and all !"
Mr. Bronnert further explained that
when he felt so sick of the eating that he
thought il impossible to refrain from
vomiting he would take glass of wine
and after while would get fright again
After the 9Th inst. he suffered no more
sickness, and has eaten his last seven
quails with great deal of relish.--Louis.

HONE, FARM AND GARDEN.

Popcorn pudding Is made by taking
four quarts of popped corn, cover with
sweet milk; let stand until soaked through
then add two eggs and tablespoonful OF
sugar Bake one-half an hour.
A correspondent of the English Me-
cIaaie gives the following recipe for an
ink, the permanency of which he says Is
perfect, even when bags filled with chem
ical manures have been in rain and sun
shine for ten days: Bell one pound OF
logwood chips in one gallon of water, of
boiling point, ten minutes; then stir in
the eighth of an ounce of bichromafe OF
potash. and boil this ten minutes longer ;
then add, when cold, one-half pound OF
common gum, dissolved, and stir well in.
This will flow well from the pen. and will
mark bags with either the stencil plate or
block. The cost of the above ink is
about twelve cents per gallon.
Good cupboards can be made of large
boxes. Put shelves inside, and nail q
strip around the top of the box so as to
extend three or four inches above the lev
ell; this will prevent articles from sliding
off. The whole is to be painted good,
dark color This, in the kitchen, II not
used for holding dishes, will hide so many
things that after while you will think
ii indispensable. Small boxes make nice
foot-stools. Stuff the top, which serves as
q lid to the box, thus making il doubiy
useful good for holding old newspapers,
rags, etc. A whole set of these will be
found useful. In the sitting room they
make good seats for children. Small box
es are also nice TO hold winter flowers.
Take them about twelve inches deep,
eighteen inches long by twelve wide
larger if desired), and paint them white.
The pure white boxes, with the green
leaves so fresh above them, make beau
tiful contrast. Keep them near q door or
window.
The following extract Is clipped
from very interesting address delivered
by Mai. VIM. j. Sykes, in Brownsville,
Tenn: ITO be a perfect farmer man
should combine reading, observation and
practice A man may work In the fields
all his life and be poor farmer. We
should gain knowledge by reading and
study, and also by what we see around
US, and then this knowledge must be
put into practice. Our views, II they
will not stand the test OF actual expert
ments, are worthless. All sound theory
is based upon practice, and all sensible
practice Is the result of well-grounded
information, whether learned by our own
observation or from the experience OF
others. That theory which will not stand
the test of experience is worthless, and
that practice which is not based upon
sound theory is equally worthless"

Profitable Management for Bees.

An English writer, J. w. Dagden, OF
Sussex, has published a book relating
how he made 1850 from bees, commenc.
ing almost without capital. He says:
|" -Four years ago recommended keeping
bees, and without any other outlay than
three dollars, excepting what has been
produced from the sale of honey, have
now nearly 100 stocks, remarkably strong
able balance of money In their favor.
In almost all bee gardens you will no.
tice that the hives OF bees are ranged close
under south wall this have found to be
the worst situation possible, the heat some
times being so great that all work IL en-
tirely suspended for some of the most
valuable hours Of the day, and, moreover,
they are exposed 10 all the storms of wind
and rain which prevail from that quarter.
| have made trial of almost every point
OF the compass, and find east, or point
north or south Of this, TO be the best. A
straw hive will last three times as long IN
this rs In the firsi-named position.
at il not at 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 nursery for all
their worst enemies, and generally in at
tending on one hive you cause annoy.
ance and confusion 10 the whole house
hold. II Is important In practicing the
depriying system 10 have every hive ON
lis own stand, detached from others.
Never put a new swarm OF bees In an
old hive, as there will almost certainly be
the eggs OF the honey moth deposited IN
the cre.ices 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 il powerless 10 expel them, al
though they will seize them sayagely at
the entrance. When moths have once es-
