Honey Bees.

A well-known bee-keeper in New York
State says that he obtained last season
from l32 families or stocks five tons of
honey. Many of the statements in the
papers about the quantity of honey OBJ
tanned by different men are not reliable /;
but this man, | think, has not exaggerated
much, as he is skilled bee keeper. How
was it done2 In the first place these
were undoubtedly selected hives from a
much larger number Secondly, the bees
were in "non,swarming" hives, by which
the labors Of two or three times the usual
number Of bees were secured in one hive.
Thirdly, he probably used honey extract
or, by which he obtained considerable
strained honey. Fourthly, he resides in
very fine locality for bees This is sew
enty-five pounds per hive, worth, perhaps,
fifteen cents per pound, or sl1.25 per
hive, part being strained honey that sells
now at wholesale for ten to twelve cents
per pound in New York, and comb box
honey at eighteen to twenty cents. But
this Statements shows TINT bees are proiita.

WAS Failure Of the Hay CROP Mean

What faliofe OF the nay Urop means.
The report from Canada that the hay
crop there will probably be below the av-
erage yield is very different from any that
could be made by the farmers in the
vicinity Of this city, who are gathering a
heavy crop. So much attention is devoted
to cereals and to cotton, tobacco and rice,
all Of which are largely exported, aud are,
consequently, measure, to some extent,
of our commerce, that few people have any
idea of the relative value of the hay pro-
duct Of the country, norof the Importance
which attaches to reports of its condition
about this time. In 1875 hay was third
on the list of farm products of the United
States in respect to acreage, and second on
the list in respect to the value of the crop,
In round numbers there were forty-four
million acres sown in Indian corn, twenty
six million in wheat, and twenty-thrle
million in grass for hay, These three
crops alone occupied ninety-three million
acres out Of one hundred and twenty-three
million under cultivation, for the crops of
which reports are published, The value Of
the products for the same year are set down
as follows; Indian corn, $685., 445, $3.50;
hay, 1884,, 203, 445; wheat, 1924, $50, $3.50;
cotton, S272, 936, 400; oats, sl29, 499, $50;
potatoes, S65,0l9, APO; tobacco, $50, 342 :
coo; barley, $50 ,952,OS2; rye, s13,631,-
900; buckwheat, S7,166,267. Wheat,
cotton and tobacco all yield in pecuniary
value and Importance to hay, which in
1915 was worth 20 per cent of the value
Of all the farm products Of the United
States. From these views the readers Of
the Ledger will be able to estimate what
failure of the American hay crop would
mean. philadelphia Ledger.

{ Pulverization Of Soil.

Some farmers are in the habit of plow-
ing their lands when in an improper con-
dition, and the soil bakes in hard lumbs
which no harrow can pulverize; and often
the blowing is badly done, when the land
is in good condition to pillow, and the
narrowing isnot thorough; and the result
is that the growing crops find no room
among the. clods to take root, and is a
poor yield, while in the next field, per-
haps, neighbor has a splendid crop on
the same kind of soil If we could have
our soils pulverized just as they should be
to produce the greatest crops, they should
be as fine as meal; and it is very impor-
tant that lands should be well plowed, and
well narrowed, as good crop may often
be grown on poor land, merely from hav.
ing put it in the best possible condition
for crop. The beneficial effects of pull
verization are attributable to the increased
perneability Of the soil to rain and air;
the oxygen, carbonic acid and ammonia
Of the air, have a great effect in decom.
posing the organic and disintegrating the
inorganic matter of the soil and rendering
them available as food for plants, while il
allows the rain water to act on greater
surface.

Imposing Upon Farmers.

Il ought to be unnecessary to warn far
mers to beware Of travelling patent right
agents who are constantly "prowling
around for victims. But It seems that
many farmers are as easily tempted as a
boy with his first postal currency in his
pocket when he sees a confectionery, and
then fall victim to their own greed too
often. The farmer who has any sense
will never buy an article from strolling
agent when he can get all he requires
from a reliable hardware store, where he
knows the merchant aud is himself known.
At this season the rural districts are full
Of these patent right agents vending farm
ing implements. In no case should a
farmer buy Of these men, because no
farmer ever dealt with such hucksters
without being cheated The scamps, in
nine cases out Of ten, make pilgrimages
purposely to plumber unsuspecting farmers,
and where they can avoid it never visit
the same locality Bkice in the same season.
The safer plan is not to buy of stranger
what you can get at store where you are
known and know the merchant. The
local merchant, for all varieties Of supply
is the safest party to traffic with farmers,
and they must conide in him alone.
