said Mr.. Weed, referring to his age

this: sThank God that He compelled

all of that class, and nothing since had

BEE CULTURE.
lFor the ouaohita Telegraph. 7

For the OuaCh1tA Telegr8ph.1
Propolis Is a substance gathered
from trees and shrubs for the use of
the bee hive, such as stopping cracks,
making rough places smooth, fastening
down tops and making their home
impervfous to wind and cold. 1t is the
gum of trees but is secreted in differ
ent ways. The different species of pop
Lar contain the gum In its young ten
der buds, and the bees draw it out in a
long thread when gathering it. From
the oak, gum, bois-dock, and many
Others, 1t issues from cuts and pune
lures and is carried home by the bees
In the same way as pollen, that is, on
their legs. When first gathered from
most trees propolis is of light yellow
color, but age turns it dark and often
black; that from bois-dock turns black
In few days. In some places trees
are almost destitute Of it, and especially
In prairie countries it is scarce. In
these places bees have been known to
use yellow clay worked with wax.
Mr.. Langstroth saw them gathering
green paint from window blinds, and
has watched them enter varDish shops.
have seen them even here where I
know propolis to be plentiful, to gather
fresh paint from adjoining hives, and
to which wax and propOlis is sticking
and carry home all that is movable.
1t makes a much stronger substance
than wax alone, and is often worked
with wax In fastening combs to the
frames In the corners or where the
combs touch the sides of the hive. If
the cells are not filed with honey or
brood soon after they are built they
are coated over with varnish of prop
oils to strengthen them. ssBut," says
writer, ssas this coating impairs their
snowy whiteness the bees should not
be allowed access to the combs in the
surplus hOney-b0xes, except when &C.
lively engaged in storing them with
honey"
Mr.. Langstroth says, Gas bees find il
difficult to gather propolis and equally
so to work SO sticky material, they
should be saved all unnecessary labor
In annassing 1t. To men time is money,
to bees 1t is honey; and all the arrange
ments Of the hive should be such as to
economize it to the utmost"
I cannot believe that propolis can
ever be scarce in this country. Watch
the trees when you will and you will
lind that some of them, when the dew
Is on, will be yielding gum. Even our
Hover gardens lend a helping hand
and give employment to the busy bees.
''With merry hum the willows copse they
scale,
The frs dark pyramid or poplar pale;
Scoop from the alder's leaf its oozy flood,
Or strip the chestnut's resin-coated bud;
Skim the light tear that tips narcissus' ray,
Or round tho hollyhock's hoar fragrance
play;
Then wait their nut brown loads exulting
home,
That form a fret-work for the failure comb;
Calk every chinck where rushing winds
may roar,
And seal their circling ramparts ITO the
floor" AHMO,

ARE We NOT GONE AsTRAY p
There was time In the history Of this
country when the people did not suppose
that the man elected President was
thereby made superior to other men-a
time when the American citizen who dis
charged his duty faithfully in the private
walks Of life, was the equal Of men in
any station-a time when the Office
holder was the servant Of the people
from whom he derives his pay and that
even the President of the United States
recognized that he was only chosen to
the Office to perform certain duties, for
which he with thousands Of others
were fitted-and that after this choice
was made he was the servant OF the
whole people whose collective voice be
felt bonored in yielding obedience TO.
Are we not slipping away from this posi-
tion. Do not Presidents now recognize
few aristocra,ic men Of wealth as their
only friends and companions Such
seems to be the tendency. Presidents
are no longer found to be the most re-
tired, dignified, and sagacious men, seek
ing the anionship Of the most learn
ed and experienced in statesmanship,
bestowing all their time and attention
upon the government over which they
are expected TO keep careful watch and
resting for their reward more on the
gratitude of their countrymen. This is
no longer the case. Presidents now find
more time for junketting about the
country, and taking frivolous pleasures
than those who are not burdened with
the cares of State. 1t is no uncommon
thing to hear 1t said that a second-rate
clerk in one of the Departments knows
more about the details of the govern
ment and can make 4 more accurate
statement of its affairs. In fact II is toe
often admitted that he knows but little
of craftsmanship, and that any OF his
Secretaries are his superiors. Hence II
is that a secondary officer Is found to bt
advising Congress to one course and thu
President another. There was a tim
when the President was truly The hea,
of the nation-the exponent Of tie voic'
of the whole people, and the friend OF all
That time may come again and when
does there will be more prosperity an
happiness in the land than there La
been for many years. The people shoul
be allowed to regard the President an
those who hold Office as their friends
>, but alas, the Presidents of late and h
II officers have been teaching one class |
i believe that it is their duty to regard al
other class as enemies.
