The ProfIls Of Bee Keeping.

John Allen, Of Michigan, gives us
his experience in the profits Of bee
keeping. He commenced with ten
swarms Of bees on his farther's farm.
Ashe found there was money in the
business, he went into it on a large
scale. AT the end Of his first season
Mr. Aliens expense account reached
s74S, while some $3.50 was credited
to permanent investments in the
shape Of tools, material, hives and
bees. On the other hand the net re.
turns for honey sold amounted to 49,
544, which presented, after the cur
rent expenses above mentioned, a
net cash income of S2,996 or about
$50 per cent. on the Investment
There was, moreover, a large gain
from increase, and improvement Of
stock, which, computed at the mark.
ct rates, would add to the cash prof.
its some $3.50. The whologaiat here-
fore, on an Investment of $3.50 was
not less than $3,776, or about 4a per
cent. 0f:codrse every person who
begins bee: keeping cannot expect
such astrising success asthis: Very
few, probably, will study the business.
as carefully as Mr.. Allen did, or care
for the bees so attentively, even if
they are lucky enough to secure such
favorable locations. In spite Of this
warning, however some persons may
rush into bee culture, expecting to
get rich in a year ortwo without hard
work, 1t was so with fruit growing.
At various times during the past
twenty years, sanguine people have
looked forward to making fortune
in short time from an acre or two
of strawberries or blackberries. Of
course they were disappointed, and
so every person who hopes to getrich
quickly by keeping few bees will
miscarry, Money can only be made
in apiaries, or, for that matter, in
anything else, by thorough acquain
lance with the business, and careful,
persistent work from year to year.

The Old Farm Horse.

lue VlU EUFu 11OFscs
Alexander Hyde, in the New York
Weekly Times, says to an inquirer
What disposition to make of an old
horse is question that puzzles many
farmer. He can't be turned off for
meat, not even sausages. This may
be the orthodox in France, but is he
terobox in this country. To sell an
old horse to a fish peddler after the
beast has served us faithfully all his
active life seems cruel, as he may fall
into abusive hands, not that all fish
peddlers are cruel, but when the beast
is once sold, we know not how many
or what kind of owners it may be his
lot to fall. To knock him in the
head may seem to some more cruel,
as in this case they know of his un-
timely end, but in the other they are
ignorant of the long and lingering
death he may die after long andabus
i've treatment. Rich men maybe as
sentimental as they please in this
matter, and may settle pension on
their old horse to insure good pastur-
age and kind treatment, but the av.
erage farmer can't afford togive away
to much sentiment, and his best plan
is to dispose of his horses before they
get old. If properly breda trained
they will sell at maturity for good
prices-well-b and well trained
horses always command good prices
and pay well for the breeding and the
training, and the farmer generally
has a relay of younger horses upon
which he can fall back for use. The
farm is Il good place for horse.train-
ing, if the farmer has a taste this
way, much better than therace-course
to develope good family beast, and
it is a great recommendation of a
horse to sensible man looking for
such a beast that it has been educa,
ted on a farm. Every man must dis
pose of his horses as an enlightened
conscience may dictate, but every
farmer knows or ought to know, they
are poor property at almost any
price.

J. " r. '
r Perhaps oneof the most appropri-
ate usesrd an old fruit can that can
be devisedlis, to make it contribute to
the growth Of new fruit to fail old
cans. This issdone inthe following
manner The can is pierced with
one or more pin holes, and then sunk
in the earth near the roots Of the
strawberry or tomato or other plants.
The pin holes are to be Of such size
that when the can is filled with wa
ter the fluid can only escape into the
ground very slowly. Thus quart
can, properly arranged, will extend
its irrigation to the plant for per-
iod Of several days; the can is then
reflled. Practicaltrials Of this meth.
cd irrigation leave no doubts of its
success. Plants thus watered flourish
and yield the most bountcous returns
throughout the longest drouths. In
all warm localities, where water is
scarce, the planting Of old fruit cans,
here indicated, will be found profit
able as a regular gardening Opera

Some Truthful Facts About Bean,

Certain miraculous phenomena of ag-

thieves broke into the chapel of COM
munity of Swiss Sisters of Mercy and
stole the holy vestals from the altar.
Not far from the chapel is field which
was then sown with beans. When the
beans were gathered it was found that
each bean had a remarkable colored
speck upon it, and upon closer scrutiny
this speck was perceived to take the
exact form of the sacramental mon
STRANGE which had been sacrilegiously
stolen. Thereupon the sisters caused
excavations to be made in the field,
which resulted in the unearthing of the
monstrance and all the other sacred YES
sells. It appears that the thieves had
been struck with herror at the enormity
of their crime, but fearing to confess it
had buried their terrible booty. The
sisters sent some of these beans to an

exact place lis unidentified; but the
