There was small loss in the original
number of the bees each day, but it
was more than made up by the recruits
of vagrant bees, who had PROBABLY
learned from the visitors of their hap
Ply and comfortable position. This had
been foreseen, and sixty-tive empty
hives had been placed upon the boat
for that purpose.
The Fraser slowly towed the colo
ny up the river, and all was going
we'll, when, on an unlucky day, the
shaft of the steamer broke, and the
fleet was obliged to lay up at a point
not particularly favorable for honey
making until messengers were sent to
New Orleans with the broken machln-
cry. Three weeks were thus lost. The
willow bloom died away, and the bees
began to suffer and many OF them
died. When the machinery was again
in order. all haste was made up the
stream day and night until the spring
bloom was overtaken. Good country
had lust been reached, n the bees
we've fairly at work, when the DOCTOR
a most important feature OF a boats
machinery, was hopelessly broken,
and another wait of two weeks was
enforced, pending the necessary re-
pairs.
The spring bloom had moved fur
ther north, and the boat was making
such slow progress with the barges
that Captain Perrine, in view of the
further fact that he had started a
month later, concluded to abandon the
barges' The beehives We're transfer
red to the boat proper, and then, night
and day, the little steamer travelled W
the river untilthe blossoms We're again
overtaken. Every few days the boat
would stop, the hives be taken ashore
and the bees released, and when the
vicinity was exhausted they would be
reloaded and the run made for another
garden spot.
Gwen with this delay the expert
ment has proved a uccess The bees
are all doing we'll, and are making the
honey with a facility gratifying to
their owner The trip will be made
through t. st. Paul, and then the bees
will be taken South for the winter.
Satisfied that he has struck a success

ensure the honey supply. Captain
Perrine will complete his arrangements
during the winter for an apiary on a
still larger scale, and will leave New
Orleans on April 1st. 1879, with two
thousand hives, towed by a boat of as

of the 18th of July says:
Captain Perrine purchased two
lar-es of ordinary length and the little
~Strrm-wheeI steamer James A. Fraser.
Whatever of failure has attended the
enterprise is due to the inferior speed
of the boat and a series of exasperating
accidents to her machinery. The two
harges were provided with shelving,
and four hundred hives of bees We're
placed upon each. All varieties of
h~oncy-makers were introduced, as the
~cnterprising captain desired to make
his experiment as broad and thorough
as possible. The hives We're painted in

The intensity of the late drouth in
Austrrlia may be Judged by the simple
calculation made by the inspector of
stock that in New South Wales alone
1000, 900 sheep We're lost last year from
the effects of the dry weather. At
least another million must be added to
account for the loss of this year, and
others who were for various reasons
omitted from the turns Thus we
have 5000, 600 sheep, valued at SIR
500, 600 at least, destroyed directly or
Indirectly, through tho lack of pastur-
age consequent on the drouth.
