The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1878-02-28
SnriuS Mauarement of Rees

A F'reeport, ILL.,, correspondent of the
Bee Journal makes the following sugges-
ton to beginners in Bookkeeping in re-
gard to equalizing and building up a lot
of weak stocks. When spring opens con-
tract the entrances and make all tight
and warm over the bees. Guard all the
weak stocks very carefully from the
strong ones, and contract their hive
room to accommodate the Size of the
swarm. Remove extra combs, but leave
plenty of honey. During cold windy
days discourage them from flying by
shading the entrance of the hive.
1t is necessary that at least one-third
of the entire number of stocks should be
good and strong. When settled, warm
weather arrives (say about the LIST of
May, but not before for this latitude),
begin to equalize. Take from the centre
of each strong stock two combs of hatch
ing brood, bees with them, if sure you
leave the queen in her own hive, and
glue one of these combs to each weak
stock, placing it in the centre of the
cluster. Then make all warm again,
wait ten days, supplying the strong
stocks with good empty worker-combs to
replace those removed, and keepa record
of your operations. Always select the
oldest or Matching brood to give the
weak ones. If hives have plenty of
honey, / don't think it pays to feed
them to stimulate breeding in the spring.
The above is just what | practice
every spring. If | have poor stocks l
find it pays well, though it causes some
trouble.
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1878-02-28
Mt. NeSuNiuS.

Should an eruption occur in the vol
cano, and cause the destruction of one-half
OF the inhabitants who live in the vicinity,
the remainder, who barely escape with their
lives Immediately move back upon the
half-cooled lava, and there live in constant
fear of another eruption, foolishly fancying
that the only tenantable portion of the earth
rests within the shadow OF the great volcano.
This fairly illustrates the force of habit, and
the persistency with which people cling to
opinions when once formed. For example,
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery cures
incipient consumption, coughs, colds and
all affections of the liver and blood, yet some
still depend upon physicians and remedies
that have naught but repeated failures to
which they can refer. And although DR..
Pierces Favorite Prescription is sold under
a positive guarantee to cure those weak
nesses peculiar to women, and notwith-
standing that thousands of women bear
testimony to It's efficacy, and the truth of all
statements made concerning it, many yet
submit to the use OF caustic and the knife.
Again DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pei
lets, no larger than mustard seeds, will posi-
lively cure constipation, where it is depend
ent upon dyspepsia or torpid liver; yet
some still depend for relief upon the blue
pill or huge doses of drastic cathartic
medicine. In the face of such facts, can we
wonder at the blindness of the poor Italians?

know. learned from others part of
what have told you (for he never spoke
of his atrention), that George, as soon as
his broken bone had been reset, immedi-
ately commenced to nurse me, and had
absolutely watched at my bedside day
and night until my final recovery. l
have often laughed and joked with him
upon our many old tramps together, but
we never have adverted or even limited,
to the bear hunt at the Eagles Nest, or
our unfortunate return. He begged me
to give him Satan when | left M,
and l could do no less than comply with
his wish; and long the old dog-for he

till they were all exterminated, and then
degrading himself and canine family by
hunting the timid rabbits from the

Nest is now a cleared farm, and the
spot is sown yearly with wheat or other
grain, in which We foolish boys disgraeed
our humanity, and indicated our pre-
cocious sense of honor by fighting our
first duel ,"

Hints OH Feeding Horses.

In reply to correspondent who wants
to know how many pounds of frst-rate
English hay ought to be fed per day,
with two quarts of meal, to keep in flesh
a ten-year-old horse weighing nine hun
dred and fifty pounds, the Ne,C England
Farmer says: "Our rule for feeding
horses is to give them enough to supply
the wear and tear of the system, and to
