Hints on Stack ng.
From the st. Paul Pionser-Presr.


In stacking grain it is not only
necessary to select a dry place, but
essential also that it should be
slightly elevated if possible, so that
the water may run readily off. The
secret of good stacking is to keep
the center full, SO as to give good
drainage to the outside course.
Failure to do this leads to the set
thing of the stack in the center, and
the gradual inversion of the out
side sheaves, which thus become
conveyors of water to the middle of
the stack. The Farm and Fireside
makes good suggestion in refer
ence to sprouted heads-that if the
season be d wet one, and the cap
sheayes are i'm Tsny way sprouted,
that they should be set aside AID
afterwards stacked zbyrthemselyes..
A few dark colored, sprouted or in
jured grains will almost certainly
reduce the price of the
wheat in the market; and any one
who thinks a practical grain-buyer
will overlook this defect will be sure
of being disappointed. 1t will re-
duce the price of his grain, whether
its presence there is injurious or
not. ~ a. g a.

At that time the horse has very

much danger that you will scratch

The Honey Bee.
From the Troy Times.

From the Troy Times. r ss.r
The honey bee is a model of neat
ness as well as of industry. The
infallible instinct of the insect en-
ables it to select only the most de-
licious nectar produced in the grand
laboratory of nature. Bees are i'm
patient of any disagreeable odor
and are enraged if any impure or
decaying matter is brought in
proximity to their hive. Bees
sometimes go three miles from the
apiary in search of honey. When
ever the bee obtains load of nec>
tar, it at once rises in the air to
certain altitude, apparently takes
its bearing, and then starts in a
perfectly straight direction for the
hive. This constitutes the true and
original 'bee line
Bees are short lived, their aver
age existence being out six weeks.
This applies only to the workers.
The queens live much longer, en-
joying the prerogatives Of royalty:
The drones are male insects, and,
having fulfilled their mission, either
suffer a violent death or are driven
out of the hive by the workers. AS
working bees are necessary, and
have no share in paternal duties or
obligations, save to provide food for
their predecessors and as the bees
that gather honey in the early part
of the summer never live to enjoy it
during the following winter, their
universal industry seems to be
characterized by the purest un-
selfshness. An unprecedented num-
Der of colonies persisted during the
intensely cold weather of January.

hungarian Grass-
From the Duchess Farmer

It is time to prepare for this crop,
Hungarian grass should come IN
regular rotation, after, instead OF
before oats. It is better for the
land. Oats fayors the growth OF
weeds, thistles and quack grass and
is acknowledged to be poor crop
to precede wheat. Hungarian
grass smothers all weeds and leaves
the land in good condition for
wheat. 1t makes good hay, and a
good deal of it if the land is rich.
It is good crop to pillow under, to
enrich the land, not so good as
clover, but very much cheaper, and
1t is a great deal better for that pur-
pose than for buckwheat, having a
great deal more vegetable substance
than buckwheat and being more
easily turned under. In the fields
which are far from the barn and not
easily MANFRED, pillow under the
Hungarian grass for a fertilizer ?
It is cheap way of enriching the
land. The time to sow Hungarian
seed is about the middle of June,
and it will be ready to harvest or
pillow under about the middle of
August. The quantity of seed for
an acre is three pecks or a bushel.
It is an excellent crop for feeding
green, when it can be cut as soon
as large enough for a good swath.
For hay, it should be cut as soon as
it is all headed, and before the seed
is formed, it should be cured in the
cock, without being to the exposed
rain and dew.

The Labor.Saying Service.

The annual report Of the superintend-.
ent of the life-saving service shows
that there are at present l72 life-saving
stations in the United States-136 on
the Atlantic, thirty on the lakes and six
on the Pacific. Within the limits of the
operations of the service there was 2l6
disasters to vessels. The number Of
persons on board these vessels was Q, l07,
of whom 2,049 were saved and fifty eight
were lost. There were succored at tie
stations 81 shipwrecked persons, l,0H
days relief being afforded them in the
aggregate. The number Of persons
brought ashore from wrecked vessels by
the life.saving appliances of the stations
was 4l2. The estimated value of the
whole number of vessels involved was
81, l,922, ,276, and of their cargoes, $685.
6l0; making the total value Of property
in peril, So, ,8s7, 1856; of this amount ST.
445,0 ,086 was saved, and 81, ,442 300 lost.
The number of disasters involving the
total loss OF vessels was tifty-four. The
number of disasters of vessels, k2l7-is
greater than that Of any previous year
the highest former number having
been III. This is accounted for by the
fact of the extension of the service dur
ing the year to coasts not previously in
cluded in life-saving operations. 1t is
also accounted for by the occurrence of
several terrible gales, including one
actual hurricane, which did unusual
damage to shipping. The following
