After Wild Honey.

The senses of the bees are very acute.
BY the aid of smell they find the sweet
est flowers, and thus the delicate clean
illness Of the hive is preserved. While
certain Odors are very attractive to
them, Others are excessively repugnant.
This fOndness for certain perfumes Is
used by bee-hunters in discovering the
nests of wild bees. When wild bees
are seen lettering around, an upright
stake, to the upper end of which Is at
tached a small horizontal platform, is
planted somewhere near on this plat
form is placed a bit of full comb, and
in front of 1t is suspended an open
phial Of annis, an od0r they particu-
larly love. To expedite matters, one
of the strange bees Is frequently cap
tured by inverting over the flower
from which 1t Is sucking q small cylin-
der with glass over the end. The bee
flies up to the lighted end the lower
part Is covered with the hand, and the
cylinder placed over the honey comb
on the platform. AS soon as the cylin-
der Is darkened, by putting something
over the top, the bee goes down to the
honey and fills its hOney-sac. When
fully gorged, 1t is released bee, with
its hOney-sac filed, always makes q
"bee-line" for the hive. When the
load of stolen sweets is deposited, the
little pilferer comes back usually
with q companIon,-guid by the
scent of annis; both alight on the
platform, and are held in mild captiv-
ity till they are filed. One is then
released, the direction it takes is noted;
the stake Is then carried to some dis
tance to the right or the left of its
former position, and the second bee
released. The point at which the two
"bee-lines" cut each other IL the posi-
ton OF the nest.-Scribner's MOnthly.

The American Grain Crop.
THE LARGEST YIELD THAT THE CoUN-
TRY HAS YET PRODUCED-FIGUREs
THAT PROMISE A GOLDEN FUTURE.

The grain crop OF the United
States this autumn is a vast increase
over any preceding year in the history
of the country. IT. amounts in the two
principal cereals, wheat aud corn, to
325 ,OO0, 900 bushels Of the former, and
l $50, 600, 900 of the latter, according to
the careful estimates Of Mr.. Walker,
the statistician Of the New York Pro-
duce Exchange. The movement Of
this enormous crop has just begun
to be felt,a up to the past eight weeks
the expectations were Of last years
crop; but the sudden increase already
noted gives good promise Of a
golden future. During the brief per-
Tod mentioned our exports Of wheat
from the ports of New York Montreal,
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New
Orleans and Portland have aggregated
IL, ,525, ,1SS bushels, against an exporta-
ton from the same ports dnring cor
responding period Of last year Of 8, 1885,
951 bushels, showing an increase of T.
$50, ,237 bushels. There has also been
an increase of 7OS, ,234 bushels In the
expectation of rye during the same
time, and in peas an increase of 81 400
bushels. Incorn alone has there been
a falling off to the extent of 1858, ,054
bushelsin that time.
The following table presents the in
crease of production and expectation
i'm the two leading cereals In the past
ten years:

How Selfish We All Are.

How often we hear persons say there
Is no great loss without some small gain.
We are prompted to the thought from
the fact that we hear so many people say
at this time, Somebody must be compeli-
ed to suffer a loss, while the public are in
so great degree the gamers, through the
immense sacrifice being made in the
great assignee sale of clothing now-tak-
ing place at the store No. 76 Woodward
avenue. We are liable to forget that
brains and hands have toiled long hours,
and perhaps years, ambitious for success
and distinction in q business point OF
view, and there in that store is being sac
rificed the fruits of life's labor in order
(it may be) to satisfy creditors, and pay
honest claims. But selfish human nature
says 1t Is a blessing to the many, while
but perhaps q single individual suffers,
and the anxious thr0ng rush in and carry
away the well made garments at tithe
OF what they cost to manufacture them,
and the public sentiment says that Mr..
Smith becomes public benefactor by
bringing the great sale iuto our midst just
at this season, and oh how opportune.
Since the goods are in the market, we ad-
wise all who need to go and secure the
bargains. We feel we are doing no in
justice when we step in and procure an
OvercOat, business or Sunday suit.

WHEAT.
'Estimated, not yet figured up closely
ESTIMATED,

To arrive at the amount of corn sent
abroad, 1t is proper to count in that
which goes in the compressed form of
pork. Our annual hog product ex-
portation Is about 1000, 900 hogs. AS
IL takes about fourteen bushels of corn
to fatten each hog, that will be equiva-
lent to about 90, 600, 0O0 bushels more Of
corn to be added to the exports annual
ly, as sent in the form Of animal food.
We also send great deal barreled up
in the shape of whisky. Corn meal is
included In the estimate, reduced to
bushels.
The receipts of wheat at Western
lake and river ports, Chicago, Milwau-
kee, Toledo, Detroit, Montreal, St.
Louis, Peoria and Duluth, during the
four weeks ending Oct @, from the new
crop, were 13,099,375 bushels against
7,157, ,597 for the corresponding period
of last year, showing an increase Of
5,941 ,77S bushels. The shipments from
those ports in that time were IL ,024 ,058
bushels, an increase of A, 800, $50 bushels
over the corresponding period Of the
year before. California has been this
year an exception to the rest Of the
country. Her crops have fallen off.
Between July I and Sept. "a OF this
year her exports Of wheat were 4,0l1,-
900 bushels less than during cores
ponding period OF 1879.

All readers will admit that thorough.
bred bulls frequently produce from
common native COWS grades that make
milkers superior even to thoroughbred
COWS. Our farmers should not be sat
isIied to keep inferior cows that are q
source OF constant loss.
A remedy for choking cattle is OPP
portube about this time when they
are more than usually exposed to the
danger OF getting an apple, potato or
small turnip stuck In the gullet. A
certain remedy Is said to be to open
the mouth Of the choking animal and
throw upon its tongue, away back, a
tablespoonful Of saltpetre, then letting
the beast go, and the obstacle will
either pass out or In In very short
time.
The season sales of shorthorns In
England indicate q strong feeling In
favor Of this branch Of stock raising.
The Farmer, speaking Of the sales Of
shorthorns by Hon. M. III. Cochrane,
rom Canada In August, says: "The
sale resulted In quite sensational pri-
ees, and throughout proved that there
stlll continues q great demand for
shorthorns Of certain fashionable
strains" The average for 81 COWS and
calves at Mr.. Cochrane's sale was E42O,
and Of eight bulls 400. ~.
Celery can be perfectly kept during
the winter In trenches; in fact, have
often taken 1t out In fine condition
while spading up my garden forspring
planting. But 1t Is often not 30 con-
venient to get at IL in the middle of
winter, with the surface Of the ground
as hard as adamant. A much more
convenient way of storing q small
quantity is as follows: Knock out
both heads of a barrel, and sink 1t about
three-quarters in the ground, vertical
ly; lift the celery carefully, and place
1t In the barrel In an upright position,
packing the roots as closely together
as possible. Draw up the earth In q
bank around the outside Of the one
fourth of the barrel that is above
ground, to keep out frost; throw little
light litter over the celery, and in
crease the covering of litter as the cold
weather increases. Finally, before
snow falls, put over the whole any
convenient covering Of boards, old
carpet, oil-clOth, ETC., to keep out snow
and rain. In midwinter It will be
found very easy matter to go out,
lift your board or carpet, pull out
hahdfull or two Of the litter free from
snow or ice), take up what celery you
wish, and replace the litter and cover
ing. A barrel will hold from 80 to rs
plants.

The Northern Pacific Railway

The Northern Pacific Is In fair way
to completion. The line operated for
the year ending September first was
554 miles of road-449 miles from Du-
luth west to Bismarck, Dakotah Ter
ritOry, on the Upper Missouri river,
and los miles from New Tacoma, on
Puget Sound, Washington Territory,
eastward to Kalama, on the Columbia
River. On this the road paid nearly
half a million of dollars clear of all ex-
penses. Besides this, the company
have nearly completed q branch line,
from Brainerd to Sauk Rapids, ga
miles, and have just opened an exten-
sion on the Puget Sound division of 81
miles to the Puyallup coal mines. The
company sold, during the year, &c, 1857
acres of land, for about q million and
q quarter of dollars. Much of this was
paid for in preferred stock, which was
retired, thus paying off 80 much in
debtedness. These land sales added
ten thousand settlers to the inhabit.
ants along the line. This during the
hard year, when the crops failed along
the line, and business generally was
almost dead. Few roads can show q
clear profit Of halt million dollars for
the year ending on the first of Septem-
Der hence the fact is very encourag-
ing to the Northern Pacific. Beside
the lands sold by the company, about
ten thousand additional settlers took
up Government lands along the line,
thus showing rapid growth Of the
country.
Thus encouraged, the company pro-
poses to Immediately construct. 205
miles additional, from Bismarck west
" ard to Lake Pend D'Oreille, in Idaho,
passing through and opening extern
sive coal fields, almost to the Yellow
stone River, and also to begin the
construction Of 200 miles additional,
from Lake Pend D'Oreille to the
Columbia River in Washington Ter
ritory, at the junction of Snake River.
This will practically open the line clear
across the continent, as the remaining
$50 miles will be supplied by steamboat
navigation of Columbia River.
