Angeles county met at Leck's hall on
Saturday, April 18th, J. P. Bruck pre-
siding.
The minutes of last meeting were
read and corrected, the President and
others holding that the amendment in
regard to payment of fees was lost, land
vote taken certified the same.
The Secretary gave notice that at
the next regular meeting he would
move for the adoption of the same
amendment, changing the time from
three to six months.
Mr.. Davidson read paper on the
comparative merits of black, hybrid
and Italian bees, which on request was
returned, Mr.. ID. promising to write a
better paper for next meeting.
The subject of cultivation of plants
that yield honey and pollen at the
foot of the mountains in Winter and
early Spring then came up for discus
sion.
Mr.. Davidson spoke of the Associa-
tion and recommended the same in re-
gard to honey. Soft maple was men,
toned by Mr.. Butler and others. Eu-
calyptus, pepper tree, alfalfa etc. were
discussed, but found unsatisfactory in
one respect or another. Mr.. n. Lev
erlng, the editor of the Bee Keepers
column in the Weekly HERALD, was
elected an honorary member Several
members spoke with praise and salts
faction of this column, and rendered
Mr.. LeverIng their thanks for the able
manner in which it was conducted, eX-
pressing the hope that it would help
to promote the honey interest in this
county. 1t was moved and adopted
that a picnic meeting be held in May
at the Los Angeles Apiary, the time
to be determined by the Secretary, ac-
cording to the moon.
1t was moved and adopted, that the
comb foundations now in the hands

members present at the meeting in
May.
The meeting then adjourned to meet

the Verdugo caflon, at one o'clock on
Saturday, the 9th of May, 1876.
VIM. MUTH RASMUSSNEN,

present are requested to be on hand
early enough to eat their lunch before

EDITOR HERALD: We present the
HERALD with a branch from a ten
year-old native peach tree, with the
cozy house of the disastrous fly that
hangs his house on the trees during
the Summer. You will at once see
that last years leaves have been dex-
trously fabricated into the abode out
of which the fly, or butterfly, emerges
during the early days of Spring. So
soon as the young leaves peer out this
fly begins to deposit eggs in vast
quantities, until the outer edges of the
leaves are filled. These puncturings
necessarily make the leaves abnor-
NAL. The myriad eggs, as they be-
come incubated, obtain direct nour-
ishment from the secretions poured
around them from the incisions made.
Very truly,
VIM. MCPHERSON.

take to restore the chevalier to his speech.
The King would not cast away an oppor
tunity. He summoned Beauregard t. his
presence, and told him that a physician
had come who promised to cure him; but
the chevalier bowed low in silent dis
credit. The King nodded to the fair
Granger, and asked her what she would
do.
" Beauregard, my tried and cherished, y
she said, turning to the chevalier, this
must endure no longer. Speak to mel"
The chevalier instantly recognized his
beloved Aurelia, who had truly loved
him, and whose heart had been deeply
touched by the proof of his constancy and
devotion, and lie pronounced her name in
rapturous tones as he flew to take her out
stretched hand
Francis was sensibly affected by the ro-
mantle event, and he presented his re-
stored tayorite with rich estate at his
marriage.

Suggestions for Moving.

ONE thing you can do. You can carry
soft black pencil, or piece of chalk,
and even in the last moment can label as
you pack. You need not mix the goods
beyond a certain limit, and you can try to
pack with some judgment 1t will be
found an excellent plan to make some
good, strong, big bags for all kinds of
odds and ends, for soiled clothes, for
patches and bundles, for everything that
will go into bag, and to be sure to mark
them. For the kitchen articles, use bar
rels, and for books and breakables, boxes.
All OF these mark plainly in this way:
" KITCHEN, pots and ,frying-pans.
" KITCHEN, tins. - 6 SITTING Room, books
for large b00k-case," etc.
OF course you will need boxes for
brackets, for ornaments of all kinds;
these you have in your bureau drawers
Under clothes, and most of the ordinary
contents of bureau, you can make into
neat packages, and SO save the drawers for
other uses. OF your books be careful. If
you cannot box them, do not allow the
carmen to pile them loosely in the wagon.
The china will generally 60 into washing
tubs and clothes baskets. Save old towels
and newspapers with a view to packing
the china. In one basket or tub ought to
be placed complete service for the first
meal in the new house, including knives;
then another should have the provisions,
and these should go by one of the first
loads. Of course, meat ought to have
been roasted, ham boiled, coffee ground,
and milk and groceries secured. The first
days of moving give but little time for
cooking, and there is no ignoring the APP
petite you will get, nor the strength you
will need.-ScrG6aaer for Nay

Keep the Stock Clean.

IT is fact that no domestic animal is
unclean from choice. Naturally they
have an aversion to uncleanliness, and if
their movements are noted it will be
found that they invariably choose clean,
dry places to lie upon. If stock are I'M
clean, it is owing to no fault of theirs, but
entirely to the neglect and carelessness of
their owners, or the persons having charge
OF them. In this country too little atten-
ton is paid by farmers in general to the
cleanliness OF their stock, the general ex-
cuse being that to attempt to keep animals
clean is of very little use, besides taking up
too much time. In England the case is
different; there particular attention is
paid to the cleanliness Of stock and their
surroundings and it is really q pleasure
to visit the stables and barnyards in that
country, and note the careful attention
paid to their cleanliness and healthfulness.
How often it is the case in this country
that on visiting farmers barn-yard, his
cows will be seen standing about with
their TANKS, bags and tails all covered
with fresh dung. Is it any wonder, then,
that the boys on farm, who generally
have most of the barn work 70 do, Or a
large share OF it, get sick and tired of be-
ing obliged to rouse up at an early hour
in the morning to milk lot Of COWS in
such condition? The day has gone by
for farmer to follow in the footsteps of
his forefathers, in many respects. If
they saw fit, or did not know any better,
than to erect low, damp and unhealthy
stables, there is no necessity of his follow
ing their example. This is an age of i'm
provement, and improved and well-con-
structed stables are as much of q necessity
as our improved dwellings are over the
old-fashioned farm-houses erected over
fifty years ago.
Cattle should be prevented from living
down in their ordure; that is the main Sc
cret in keeping them clean. In order 20
do this, they should have platform just
long enough for them to stand upon; be-
hind this there should be a trench about
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1876-04-27

six inches deep and two feet wide; be-
hind this trench there should be walk
wide enough for two cows to pass and a
few inches higher than the platform upon
which the cows stand. With a stable so
arranged, moderate supply of bedding
and cleaning it twice day, you will find
that there is not much trouble in keeping
cattle clean, and that you will not need
a pair o. thick boots to get between the
cows.
The pig pen should also receive share
of ones attention. The pen should be
built good and strong, with the sleeping
apartment dry, warm and sheltered; the
trough well secured and placed where it
will be convenient for feeding; care
should be taken to have it above the sur
face of the yard, for if it is placed on the
ground it will generally be flied with
dirty. 7. World.

Glover and Grass.

MANY farmers have correct notions as
to the value of clover and grass which
grow in sight above ground that may be
cut for hay or eaten by stock, who have
never considered the worth of clover and
the stems and crowns just above, nor of
the roots of grass from which mainly
rich turf is formed. A few scientific men
in Great Britain, Germany and France,
have investigated this matter, and find
that, while healthy clover plants in a good
soil are forming one hundred pounds Of
stems and leaves that will make hay, the
roots below, Invested of dirt, will weigh
f1fty-six pounds, allowing two years for
growth and three cuttings of the clover,
two the second year, and one the first.
Glover roots and stubble more than pay
the cost of production as manure to the
land, whether you fertilize for crop of
wheat, corn, cotton or tobacco. 1t is
good economy to SOW about one hundred
pounds of land plaster, to the acre of
clover, to augment the crop.
To make a good firm turf, on pasture
or meadow, is more difficult than many
suppose. To form a nice green sod in
lawn, one should SOW plenty Of grass seed
IN autumn or winter, with top-dressing
of manure, narrowing the ground we'll be-
fore seeding, and rolling it afterward.
For field grazing, mixture of blue grass,
red-top and orchard grass, yields excellent
feed on fair land. Prepare the ground
first-rate, and then SOW at least half
bushel of each kind of seed on the same
acre, and three pecks or bushel would
be better. The high price of orchard
grass seed is absurd. There is altogether
too much gambling in seeds. Farmers
should turn over a new leaf, and give
more attention to the production of all
needful Seeds From seeds to turf there
is but one step. A turf that has grown
foar years has been worth six tons of hav
for manure, or six good crops before the
sod was exhausted.
To cover the ground with firm, thick
sod, and fill the soil with mass of grass
and clover roots, is to make land that will
pay fair rent to the owner. Such sod
summer fallowed, brings great corn, to-
bacco or cotton. One must learn how to
make fertility grow on thin land; drawing
agricultural salts from the deep sub soil
in water that rises to enter the longest
roots of clover or COW peas. The water
evaporates from the leaves of the clover,
grass, peas and corn; but the fertilizing
salts do not. These may be used to feed
and fatten hungry soil. Poor land may
grow to become fat in sod and manure as
easily as a poor pig gains in flesh. Small
seeds, like those of clover and grass, may
do most of this work. See how easy it is
to make clover and grass labor for the
thinking husbandman. National AmaerS-
can.

The DenOuement of Dumb Court
ship.

AT the time that Francis l. of France
was taken prisoner at the battle of Pavia,
one of his officers, the valorous Chevalier
Beauregard, smitten by the charms of an
Italian lady of noble family named Azure
LA, declared to her his passion Azure
lla though tiattered by the declaration of
the gallant soldier, refused his suit on
the ground of the levity of the French
character and the natural indiScretion of
that people. But Beauregard was not to
be put off SO easily. The depth and fer
Nor of his love led him to propose to the
lady to put his constancy to any proof
she might think proper. Aurelia atlength
accepted the terms of the proposition and
agreed to marry him if for the space of
SIN months he would remain utterly and
entirely dumb.
The chevaher promised, and then, with
silent bow, withdrew from the lady's
presence, and from that moment he
opened not his lips with the sound of
human speech. He returned to Paris,
where his friends and relatives were
stricken with sorrow at the terrible in
trinity which had fallen upon him-for
his had been a voice musical and enter
tanning. Beauregard expressed all his
wants by dumb signs, and seldom smiled
The best physicians were sent for, but he
refused to see them
The captive King was at length set free
and restored to his people; but his joy on
his return to his capital was diminished
by the sad misfortune which had befallen
the chevalier, who had beer the monarch's
chief favorite Francis sent his best
doctors to the stricken soldier, who, out of
respect for his royal master, took the
medicines prescribed, but with no effect.
The King even went SO far as to employ
the charlatans and necromancers, who
then, as now, protested to hold specifics
Ior all sorts of diseases
lhe news spread abroad and great was
the sorrow. The court and the people
had become hopeless of his cure, when a
lar Italian maiden, protesting to be a
fortune-teller, appeared before the King
and informed him that she would under.
