PEOPLE generally will be glad to know
that charcoal has been discovered to be
a sure cure for burns. BY laying small
piece of cold charcoal on the burn the
pain subsidies Immediately. By leaving
the charcoal ON for AZ hour the wound is
healed, as has been demonstrated on sew
eral occasions,
JUST in proportion to the successful
cultivation of the soil, is the aggre-
gate prosperity of the human family
augmented. As agriculture is the foun-
dation of all success in every depart
ment of business, how important then
that it should be studied and understood
by those engaged thereinl 1t was the
first vocation to which man was called
by the voice of his Maker, to till the soil
and it is yet the highest and noblest
profession on earth among men. tits
not only above all Others; but it under
lies and sustains all others, and all
othsEs acknowledge their dependence
upon it.
MANY persons are troubled to get
their trees to range in the rows properly !;
even after having the ground staked off
in good order they still find their trees
stubbornly refusing to range in straight
lows This difficulty may be obviated
by the following continuance: Take a
board four inches wide and eight or nine
feet in length; near each end have an
inch hole, and saw triangular notch
two inches in the middle. Make two
wooden pins or pegs one foot long, and OF
size that they will easily pass through
the holes. The stake being set in the ex-
act place where the tree is to stand, lay
the gauge down so that the stake will
stand against it in the center of the
notch now drive the two pins through
the holes to half their length in the soil,
lift off the board, leaving the pins stick
in the ground, dig the hole and put the
tree in its place, replace the gauge, and
having the trunk of the tree in the notch
just as the stake stood before, hold it
there till the filling in and packing is all
done, and the tree will stand in the exact
place that the stake occupied. Proceed
in this manner with all the trees, and il
the stakes were properly set at first
the trees will range as a matter OF
course.
The comb, which is fatty, solid sub.
stance produced by bees, is first excreted
from row of pouches along their sides
in the form of scales. This being masti-
Gated and mixed with the saliva becomes
whitened and tenacious, and the sub
stance is employed in the construction
of their cells, the repositories for their
honey and eggs. The bees consume
about three-fourths of their time in con-
structing their comb, while gathering
the honey only requires one-fourth. In
this age of progress apiarians take a
sharp knife and skim off the tops of
cells, and with The extracting machine
throw the honey from the comb by CEN
trjfugal force. The comb is then put
back into the hive, the operation being
repeated frequently during the season.
This enables the bees to gather three
times the quantity of honey by relieving
them of the necessity of building their
combs, thence the reason why there is al
ways SO much more extracted by
strained honey ON the market and its
consequent cheapness. The honey thus
extracted possesses most delicious
flavor, and can be eaten without fear of
sickness. 1t is eating the comb that
makes one sick the bees never eat it,
and physicians say that there would be
just as much propriety in drinking ale
from bottle and then eating the bottle
as in eating tie honey and comb Also
They consider the bottle about IS degesti-
BILE as the wax.
