A Cheap Bee-HOuse.

A correspondent of the american Be-
Journal writes the following description
of a cheap winter house:
Two years ago l was without proper
bee-h0use, and not having a great
amount of capital to invest, | studied
upon the subject, and the result is the
construction of house upon the follow
ing plan: We first dug down about foul
feet into the ground in place that could
be drained, and removed the earth from
space Is by II feet. We put six posts
ten feet long, on each side, and united
by girths, seven feet from the floor. We
covered the whole interior with matched
boards, and filled on the outside with
dirt, removed from the interior. As we
dug down four feet, the three feet above
ground was built up with stone and dirt
making a thickness of four feet all
around. The space directly over the
bee-room was filled with sawdust one
foot thick. To the projecting ends OF
the posts we built roof that covers all
it covers space of about 80 by 30 feet
In the centre there is ventilator; there
is but one entrance, with double doors
We have wintered eighty swarms in il
successfully, and use it during the sum
mer for extracting and in which to store
honey during the hot weather. 1t is 6
delightful place in which to work, being
charming and COOL"
The outlay in cash on our house die
not exceed SIS. We have, in addition
to our wintering room, loft in which tc
store various utensils. 1t is well to have
such house built early in the season
that all moisture may dry out before
storing the bees therein. A house on
the same plan can be made much smaller
for small apiaries. We think a house s
by II would accommodate IS swarms
but it is well not to crowd too many into
one room.
We have lately seen many testimonials
from apiarists, in various portions of the
country in relation to chat packing, and
our experience in that direction teaches
us to discard indoor wintering. We in
tend to give both plans a trial during
the coming winter. We go INTO winter
quarters with 100 swarms-enough to
try various plans, but none to try hazard

Dickens, Little Folks.

Nothing has given the writings of
Charles Dickens so strong hold upon the
hearts of parents as the well-known excel
lence of his portrayal of children and their
interests. These delneations having re-
ceived the approval of readers of mature
age, the different child characters have been
detached from the large mass of matter with
which they were originally connected, and
presented in the authors own language, to
a new class of readers, to whom the little
volumes will be as attractive as the larger
originals have proven to the general public.
A series of twelve volumes has been pre-
pared, presenting, among others, the follow
ing characters: "Smike," from Nicholas
Nickleby; "Little Nell,' from The Old Gu
riosity Shop; "The Child Wife," from
David Copperfeld "The Boy joe" from
Pickwick Papers, &C., &c. A new edition
of the first volume of the series, "Little
Paul." from Dombey < Son, has just been
issued, illustrated by barley, and attract
lively bound. The other volumes will
shortly follow. Sent postpaid for $1.00; or
any volume will be sent with years sub
scription to the New York Tribune weekly,
for $500; or any two volumes with year
subscription to the independent for $500

" Madam, there you must stop! / cam

"Noi She never speaks against her

" Sir, your are too plain"
Widow Thorn, was always called
plain, and the wig is too big for me-
Then she laughed at him. aud what

Cows Holding Up their Milk.

1t Is a common complaint among
dairymen that cows will not give down
their milk, and it would appear from the
way in which the matter is discussed
that there are some COWS of a contrary
disposition that persistently and stub
bornly refuse to part with milk supply
on demand. There is nothing more
fallacious. Cows have no more the con-
troll of the matter than we have when we
sneeze. Some COWS are more nervous
than Others, and in consequence more
easily excited. If they are worried by
dogs, or chased by boys, it will be OBJ
served that they are fractions and
tidgety, and will not let their milk down.
This is none of their fault. They are
suffering from natural nervous causes,
and it is not that they are unwilling to
give up their milk, but, in fact, its form
ing process in the cow is temporarily dis
turbed and they have no milk to let
down. The same thing frequently hap
pens when the calf is weaned. If the
COW shows much distress at the separa.
ton, and means and grieves for her off
spring, it will again be discovered that
she falls off her milk yield. We have
known instances where perfectly fresh
cows have ceased to give milk entirely
from having been dragged long dis
lance behind a wagon, and worried and
excited by cruel driver. The nervous
temperament of the COW is one of the
first things to be CONSIDERED in selecting
one for the dairy. A quiet, easy-goine
animal, imperturbable and careless as to
surroundings, will stand and chew her
cud, and it requires something very ex-
traordinary to disturb her milk manu-.
facture; but find one that runs off upon
the approach of any one, and has q
chronic, wild, and startled look, and in
nine cases out of every ten she will be
very unsatisfactory in the dairy.
If you wish to avoid the excitement
consequent to weaving the calf, remove
it from the Cow when two or three
days old and raise it by hand. The
mother will make much less fuss about
it at that age, than if allowed to run
longer with her.-J0unal Of agriculture

Ice-HOuSes.

Now, my agricultural reader, how
many farmers of your acquaintance have
an ice-house? The bare suggestion
brings up thoughts of an expense which
cannot be afforded, or of a complicated
structure which could not be constructed
without careful study of obtruse scien-
tifc principles; yet there is not farmer
in the land where water freezes four
inches thick but that he can provide
himself with an abundant stock for sum-
mer's use at a very little outlay of labor
and little or no expense. A very cheap
house, if, indeed, it can be called one,
may be constructed by excavating a pit
eight feet square and eight feet deep
into gravel bank, or in a spot with a
porous subsoil for easy drainage. Line
the sides of this pit with plank and cover
the bottom with a layer Ga foot deep) of
straw or fine hemlock boughs. { pom

feet on all sides, filing in all the inter.
