TRANSFERRING BEES.-As IL practical
bee-keper, l will give my experience in
regard to the transferring Of bees. In the
first place, have II box the exact size of the
bottom of box hive; now blow q little
smoke into the hive you wish to transfer,
then turn the hive bottom up, place the
box on top, be sure all holes are firmly
closed between the two, then with light
stick rap against the hive, and the most of
the bees will ascend into the box. If many
bees are at work when the work is com
menced it will be necessary to place an
empty hive on the old stand, with little
piece of brood-cOmb placed in one corner,
to receive the returning bees. Continue
the rapping every few minutes for about
half an hour, then take the box off and set
it on the old stand. Taking the box away
the bees will all 90 in it, providing the
queen is in it. Do not have other hives
TOO close Now carry the ole stock to
some convenient place and pry> apart the
hive, cutting the combs rs you take them
out, AS near the right size as possible,
which should be laid on table that has
been got ready, with several thicknesses
of cloth on. When all cut out, then have
light, tough sticks Just one.h half inch long
er than the frames are high. These sticks
should have notches cut in to receive

CAMPHoR FOR GAPEs.--As soon as we
discover any symptoms of gapes among
our chickens, we know that there are
worms very small red worms-in their
wind pipes, and we give them camphor, in
their drinking vessels, strong enough to
make quite taste of camphor. Then, if
any get the disease quite badly before we
discover it, we force a pill of gum camphor
down the throat about the size of small
pea. and the fumes of that dose will kill
the worms. No kind of worms can live in
camphor, hence, camphor must be a pow
erful vermifuge. Poultry World.

Mr.. Henry Cleveland thought one trou.
bic why butter WAS so low, is the numbers
of people who are out of work, and can
not buy butter. Those who are able to
buy, buy the best. The trouble is with the
consumers falling off. A revival of bust
ness will bring up this branch of produc-
ton rs well as others.
Some people seem to think there is
something very mysterious about butter
making, but he believed any intelligent
farmer knows enough to-day, and has
patents enough to make good butter
There is more butter spoiled before the
milk gets to the house than from any
other cause; good COWS. good feed, good
water and neatness, these are the things
needed. lie discovered by accident last
season, that one pan Of milk yielded only
one-half the cream by not being cooled
with ice. Dirty milking always makes
poor butter. The sooner cream is churn-
ed after ii rises, the better. He had ex-
perimented in keeping butter by surround
ing the vessel holding it with brine, and
it could be kept so long time. He want
ed no fine spun speculations, but some
common practical system that any one
could understand, and every one could
adopt.
Mr.. Beedle gave little of his early ex-
perience when he began poor. and had
sold butter and cheese us low rs "nine-
pence a pound for butter and four for
cheese.

AFTERNOON.

The afternoon session was taken up by
Dr.. Greasy in remarks on The diseases of
the dairy COW, speaking of milk fever,
puerperal fever, and black leg chiefly,
which we have before given our readers
in reports of his lectures at Burlington and
elsewhere. At the close of his lecture
questions and answers were in order,
which brought out that garget was an
Election of the cows bag, and sallpelre in
ounce doses was pretty sure cure-Dr
ilnskins had never known it to fail
Stringy, ropy milk was often the result of
COWS taking cold in her bag, by lying
rut on the cold, vet grass. Some cows
milk hard from structure of the teat which
IS in feet like rubber band around the
milk tube, This could be remedied by
cutting in one or more places, and for
his pen knife may be used but an in
>lrument made for the purpose WIS
preferable. Curded milk often came
from COWS not being MIXED clean; then
he milk curdles in the bag. and driving it
through the te;tts, if the trouble con
tnues, Iii will create an inflammation of the
milk tubes. Sometimes there were Oh
Structions in the teat which could be work
ed up into the bag, when the COW could be-
MIXED There were fibriod tumors which
might be cut away-or the milk syphon,
or silver milk tubes might be used, which
would allow the milk to flow out without
any pressure. These were of great SER
vice for use with cows having sore teats
or in trouble with the bag. but they are
advertised as milking machines for con-
slant, general use. and used in that way
would do great harm. One gentleman
said he had known of cows being ruinet
by their use, so our dairymen should figh
shy of milking machines.
The question of whether COWS coult
voluntarily hold up their milk was raised
IS it had been asserted in some agricul
tural papers that they could not, The
opinion expressed was without exception
that they could do so.
