There has been considerable talk in the
legislature on this subject and considerable
action taken on the subject. The various
substitutes offered were disposed of, and
then was offered in the House bill re-
repeating the bill establishing the Board
of Agriculture, which passed the House.
but was defeated in the Senate. This lett
the old board as it stood, but on Monday a
bill was introduced in the Senate, to APP
point superintendent of agriculture, with
a salary of fourteen hundred dollars pei
year with expenses, the whole not to eX
ceed twenty-five hundred dollars per year
This was considered in the House ant
referred to the committee on agriculture
who recommended an amendmCnl,m making
the number three instead of one. with sal
airy each Olive hundred dollars, which was
not agreed to, nor Amendments fixing thu
salary at one thousand dolla+e, and the bill
was finally passed as it came from The
Senate, by II vote OF one hundred ant
thirteen to seventy-four.
SO now we are to have superintendent
of agriculture for two years, and we thinE
the gentleman who receives the appoint
ment will have difficult position, ant
will need the support and hearty co-opcra
ton of every true friend of intelligcn
agriculture and progress in the state, an'
no one should withhold such support be
cause they were friends to "a board, an'
thought, rs we have, that to be the bette
and more effective mode of operation.

KEELING GRAErS III

KEEPING CRAFTS THROUGH THE WIN
TER,--Nurserymen who cut large ouanti.
ties of gratis late in the autumn keep them
in cellars packed in damp moss: but
farmers and others, who wish to preserve
II few for spring grating, may not have
these appliances ut hand. For such. II
simple and perfect mode is to bury them
in IL dry place out of doors, in an inverted
open box. FIJI the box partly with them.
nail two or three strips across to keep
them in place. and then place the box in IL
hole dug for the purpose, with the open
side down, and bury them half foot or
so in depth. They do not come in contact
with the earth, and remain perfectly
clean; and The moisture of the earth keeps
them plump and fresh without any danger
Of their becoming water-soaked. Crafts
which have become shriveled by exposure
are thus restored and will grow. 1t is
often advantageous to cut gratis in au-
tumn, as there is then no danger of their
vitality being lessened by exposure to in
tense cold, and it is often more convenient
to cut them or procure them from dis
lance at this time. In making the labels
with lead pencil, remember that if the
wood is wet before writing the names will
last ten times us long as if written dry

WfNTERING BEEs.-In regions where
the ice-garb of winter remains unbroken
from fall till spring the consumption of.
food may be lessened and the safety of
light stocks better secured by wintpring
them in dry cellars, or even in houses
But in this changeable climate. where the
bees are frequently aroused to activity by
summer weather in the middle of the win
ter, and impelled to fly out to discharge
their fnces, it is not SO necessary to guard
against cold as it is against the great con-
sumption of honey in warm weather, or
the filth and disease caused by combining
the bees where they can be affected by
changes Of temperature in the atmosphere.
Hence. unless II dark, dry cellar can be
had, the mass of bee-keepers, ut least, will
succeed best by properly preparing their
stocks and leaving them upon their sum-
mcr stands.
1t is always best to see in the fall that
each hive has sufficient stores for winter
ing, varying from twenty to thirty-fve
pounds of honey, according to climate or
mode of winterng. Rather more honey
is consumed on the summer stands than ii
wintered in the cellar. 1t is good plan
10 set away some full combs of the dark
and least salable honey in the summer to
give to weak stocks in the fall. But ii
this has been omitted, they should be fed
sufficient stores for winter before ii gets
too cold. a syrup made of Two parts by

and to prevent robblng. Feed regularly
until The necessary amount is given. Stop
tie hotes in tie cps Chi'st tceding, espec-
tally if honey is used. Contract the en-
trance, and be careful not to drop honey
or syrup about the hive, as much loss is
sustained when bees rob and kill each
other. This caution is necessary whenev-
er feeding is resorted to. In sprinG all
colonies should be contracted by close fit
ting division boards, the combs being re-
moved, except so many as the bees cover

A physician says very simple relief
for neuralgia is to boil small hand
full of lobelia in half pint of water
till the strength is ont of the herb. then
strain it off and add q teaspoonful of
fine salt. Wiring cloths out of the
liquid as hot as possible. and spread
over the part affected. Change the
clothes AS soon as cold till the pain is
all gone; then cover the place with a
soft covering till all perspiration is
over. SO as to prevent taking cold.
Rheumatism can often be relieved by
application to the painful parts of
clothes wet in weak solution of sal
soda in water. fthere is inflammation
in the joints. the cure is very quick !;
the wash needs to be lukewarm.

HOW TO LOCATE MINING CLAIMS.
An Important and Interesting Item
for Mimers.

for Mimers.
The Nevada City, California, Herald
says if parties wishing to claim their
mineral discoveries would pay strict at.
tention to the following directions they
would be saved much expense in the
courts aud great deal of trouble
generally:
The claimant should. prior to record
ing his claim. unless the vein can be
traced upon the surface. sink shaft,
or run tnnpel or drift, to sufficient
depth therein, to discover and develop
a mineral bearing vein, lode or crevice;
should determine, if possible, the gen.
eral course of such vein in each direc-
ton from the point. of discovery, by
which direction he will be governed in
making his boundaries on the surface,
and should give the course and dis
lance as nearly as practicable from the
discovery shaft on the claim, to some
permanent. well-known point or OBJ
jects. such, for Instance. as stone monu.
nents, blazed trees, the confluence of
streams, points of intersection of we'll
known gulches, ravines or roads, prom
inent buttes, hills, etc.. which may be
10 the Immediate vicinity, and which
will serve to perpetuate and fix the
locus of the claim and render it suscep-
tible of identification from the descrip-
ton thereof given in the record of loca.
tons in the district.
10 addition to the foregoing data. the
claimant should state the names of ad-
joining cllims, or if none adjoin, the
relative positions of the nearest claims |;
should drive q post or erect monu.
meDt of stones at each corner of his
surface ground. and at the point of dis
coyery or discovery shaft should fix a
post, stake or board. upon which
should be designated the name of the
lode, the name or names OF the Ioca-
tors, the number of feet claimed, and
on record. in addition to the foregoing
description. should state whether the
entire claim of $500 feet is taken on
one side of the point of discovery. or
whether 1t Is partly upon one aud part
ly uDOn the other aide thereof and in
the latter case. how many feet are
claimed upon each side of such discov
cry point.
Within a reasonable time. say 20
days after the location. notice thereof,
accurately describing the claim in the
manner aforesaid. should be filed for
record with the proper Recorder of the
district, who will thereupon issue the
usual certificate of location.
