MORTALITY AMONG BEES. From the
severe and long-continued cold of the
past W inter. which confined the bees
TO the hives and 10 one portion of the
hives, FOR long months together, and
from numerous reports, | am persuaded
that the past will add another TO the
list OF disastrous Winters experienced
by American beekeepers; especially
Will those suffer who are careless and
ignorant, Those who did not extract
the uncapped honey last Autumn. and
provide the requisite amount of good
food. will suffer loss from dysentery In
their apiaries, which, IL II has not kill

restore them TO health and yIgor.

apiarists have lost thousands OF colonies

Colonies suffering with dysentery, but
still active, should receive clean hives
and combs at once. If stores are absent
or inaccessible In any of the hives,
either feed or add combs containing
honey instanter. All colonies should
be confined to limited portion of the
hive, by use of the division board.
strong colonies should have about 1900
cubic inches; weak ones from half to
two-thirds as much. In changing or
handling the frames, caution Is requir-
ed not to separate combs containing
Droods. Great care should be taken to
cover warmly with quilt and cushion
during the cold days of Spring. Keep
colonies either in the cellar or packed
TIL flowers and gathering are at hand,
ana do not remove the packing until
the cold winds and nights OF April are
past. Feed sparingly till gathering
from flowers begins. Add empty combs
as fast as they are required for brood.
Those who have lost heavily need not
sorrow as those having no hope. With
the comb and honey in the hives now
tenantless, colonies can be built up with
surprising rapidity i'm May and June.
with these combs to aid and good
season, careful apiarists can safely
quadruple their stocks if little or no
surplus honey Is desired.

WIT AND HUMOR.

THE Boy WITH RED ARs.-Richard
Barry, boy of fifteen, with red ears
and sulky look, wanted his widowed
mother to anvance him thirty-five cents
with which TO organize Juvenile
Pinafore troupe. He had ARRANGED
Tor rehearsal in horse barn, and the
part" had been given out, but his
mothers refusal to hand over the cash
upset the plans. The heavy villain as
saulted the leading lady with "A club
and then fled from home and got up a
riot with the boys who were TO play
Juvenile man" and first old
woman
Richard, the second act Is now
about to OPEN" remarked his Honor,
after hearing the testimony. CAN
well-constructed plays have heavy viii
lains in them, and all heavy villains
must come TO grief 20 please the audi
ence. You are not very heavy, but the
vitlainy i'm you must be suppressed all
the same"
The boys mother remarked that
Richard was probably very sorry, and
that he probably wouldn't do so again,
and Richards ugly eyes were beginning
TO twinkle when his Honor said:
1T will be at least thirty days before
Richard will be himself again. He
looks to me like an ugly-tempered youth,
and don't believe he has earned an
honest dollar this winter. The work
house will be good place Cor him."
Young Pinafore didn't seem TO agree,
but he slept there that night for ali
that.

VERMONT PHOENIX, BRATTEBoRO FRIDAY,
Raise what You win Need Next win


There may be few farmers who devote
themselves to spocialties, such as producing
milk, who can make il profitable to buy west
ern grain, but, rs n rule, any man who has a
good farm can only make the ends meet by
producing his own breadstuGs. We do not
argue that n New Hampshire farmer can
raise wheat and corn to compete in the mar
kets with the products of the praries, but
that he cannot afford to buy them for his own
use and this is SO evident that it seems to
require little argument.
just imagine Il farmer, who, after harvest
ing is over next fall, can say II have enough
to fatton my beef and pork and carry me
round TO next year. l have wheat enough to
make all the flour we shall use in twelve
months | have potatoes, cabbages, beets,
and all sorts of vegetables beyond the posi-
bic demands of our table. l have beef and
pork and mutton and poultry enough to sup
ply us with meat, and fruit enough and to
spare. Except groceries and clothing, which
are cheap, Ihave nothing TO buy this winter :"
and compare him with man who says
"Well, l have got n good crop of potatoes
and oats and have hay enough to winter the
stock, but have got to buy all the flour we
need and all the meal we use, and beets, on
ions and that kind of garden sauce, If we
have any, and for the life of me | don't see
where the money to pay for them is coming
from"
Even if a farmer could get as much money
by raising one kind of produce as all the
kinds he might raise would bring, it would
still be better to plant and SOW with view to

erciscd that we do not become too saving of
the milk and liberal with the oil meal. All
ruminnntng animals are possessed of large,
capacious stomachs never intended by nature
for concentrated food but rather for that of
considerable bulk If the food of calves is
made too rich, If we in our zeal to push the
young animal forward with great rapidity,
make his food too rich, arrangement of the
stomach is sure TO follow, and the growth of
the calf for n greater or less time is retarded.
If the nature of the food is such as it should
be, no calf is likely to drink enough to iniure
him in any particular, and by working up
gradually, both quantity and quality of the
dairy rations may be improved
And now since it is true, as often proven by
experiment, that food fed to young animals
returns much greater profit than that dealt
out to more fully matured stock, it is of the
utmost importance that we comply with all
the requirements for the successful raising of
the class of stock which we have had under
consideration. Breed to nothing but thorough
bred bulls, feed an abundance Of such food MS
the stomach will easily digest, and success will
be certain. C. T. h., in Practical Farmer.
