FEEDING BEEs.-What is called glu-
cose in commerce is thick, gummy
liquid made from starch. 1t costs by
the barrel five cents per pound-ab0ut
ten pounds to the gallon. do not think
it would pay to feed bees on it for any
honest purpose. What is called in the
trade grape sugar is a solid, also made
from starch, and costs from two to four
cents per pound, according to the guam
tity bought. If dissolved in water it
makes feed which bees viii take slow
ly and on which they will drag out An
existence probably in the spring till
honey begins to come. think they can
be kept alive on this cheaper than ON
granulated sugar. But the great lesson
that bee keepers need now to learn is
that it does not pay to buy anything to
feed bees while you pay some one hand
somely for selling your honey. Honey
that they have gathered is the cheapest
thing that bees can eat Manage so that
You have honey enough fer them always
| in the comb, and make them feed them
selves, is the way to keep bees ON busi-
ness principles.-Bee Keepers Magazine.
GRASS Is KING.-In its direct money
value, and in its collateral and indirect
benefits, grass is worth more than all the
cereal crops combined. Its direct is
nothing in comparison to its indirect
value in the influence it has in presery-
ing the fertility of our farms by its ma
mural wealth in forms. No man can
thrive on farm-no farm can be self
supporting where grass is wholly ne
elected, or advantage is not taken OF
stock raised on other grass farms. The
old Belgian prOverb is true-"No grass,
no cattle; no cattle, no manure; no ma
nure, no crops"
1t is supposed by many that only such
soil as is not fit for cultivation in the ce-
reals or roots should be devoted to grass.
This is mistake. We can afford to
take our best soils for the production Of
this crop, and this is the real plan for
for bringing them up to the highest
point of fertility.
SEAsoNABLE HINrs.-The vitality Of
seeds may be tested by placing \ sample
of almost any Of the larger kind Of seesfs
or grains upon n hot pan or griddle.
When the seeds are good and the vitaia-
ty is perfect the specimen will crack or
pop open with more or less noise; ON the
other hand, II the seed Is not good or
the vitality is defective, 1t viii remain
still and burn. This is a much quicker
and surer plan OF testing seed than to
plant In earth or warm water. To test
them in this way it is not necessary that
the seeds be perfectly cry. although they
should not be too moist Seeds should
not be kept too dry an airy but moder-
ately dry quarter gs4ret is the best place
to keep them.

CutwOrnls.

A writer in the Rural New Yorker
gives the following as his opinion of a
preventive of cutworms
A few years experience has proved
to Inc that cutworms do not abound
so much in rich soils as in poor ones.
Three years ago / planted stra wber-
ry-bed upon some very poor soil, the
best | then had. Cutworms destroyed
nearly every plant. In one days
eager work over 5000 worms were
caught and killed in about one-eighth
of an acre. The rest of the garden
was not visited with such a sanguin>
airy raid, and cutworms reveled among
sweet-corn, cabbages, and even cut of
potatoes. But three years liberal
manuring has produced a change, and
cutworm has not been found in my
garden anywhere the present spring.
But in ten>acre field on the farm,
which 1has been too poor to work
much heretofore, and is now plowed
up for corn, cutwOrms appear in eve>
ry place where the ground is dis
turbed. 1t is a poor lookout for corn,
but l have pla ltei a double allowance
of seed, given a liberal dose of manure,
and hope for the best.

1t is a notion of the learned DIR.
Keithof Illinois that diphtheria comes
from potato eating. DIR. Keith
claims this notion to be the result of
his own experience as well as that of
his father, extending over twenty
nine years, and embracing eleven
hundred cases of diphtheria. In all of
these cases, the patients were potato
eaters. Persons who eschewed the
potato escaped the diphtheria, though
residing in the midst of an infected
district. 1t may be presumed that
this sweeping charge does not apply
to healthy tubers, but only to those
affected by the potato rot.
