Italian Bees.

The superior merits of Italian bees
are briefly these: They have longer
tongues, and can gather honey from
flowers TO the honey-cells ofwkich the
black bees tongue scannot bpcnetrate.
This is great advantage, for there are
many flowers, notably the red clover,
from which black bees cannot extract
honey, although they. abound with it.
The Italians are also greater workers,
starting earlier I'm the morning. Keen
ing busy all day and making fun hours.
They are estimated to make 20 per cent
more honey than the native bees. The
queens are also more .prolifice in about
the same ratio as the workers are more
productive. What is great recon-
mendation of Italians is the fact that
they are more amiable. Bees are COM
bative fellows, and are armed with a
weapon which makes them Formidable
to most persons. True, those who are
best acquainted with their habits know
how to manage them without much
annoyance, but every bee-keeper pre-
fers to deal with gentle Italians. 1t
may be added, that while more gentle
TO men and less apt to fight androb 9th
er hives, they are very gallant in de-
Tending their own from the attacks of
moths, which have been the bane TO
the black bees. The honey extractor
is very simple instrument, something
like an ice-cfeam freezer, into which
the movable frames Of Langstroths
hive are put with the comb uncapped,
and by crank the comb is made TO re-
volve just rapidly enough 10 throw the
honey out OF the cells BY the centrifugal
motion without breaking the comb.
This can then be returned TO the hive,
and in good honey season can be re-
filed in an incredibly short time.
Bees can make honey much faster than
they can make comb. THAT there is
money IN the bee business there can be
no doubt "A certain rector once asked
his bishop how he could add &c. his lin
tied income. ''Keep bees WAS tho
aconic reply, which advice Aesfollowed
and made himself independent. Bees
are very industrious servants and work
without money and without price. A
man can keep a million of them with |
out any weekly or monthly payroll,
either or pasturage. The study OF their
habits Is q source ofgreat pleasure aside
from the profits. II is exhilirating 10

Where is the farmer that comes up to

plishing his own plans to his own sat

fond expectations. The weather, the
interruption of sickness, the reasona-

family aud friends, social obligations,
accidents to tools and machinery and
horses; unavoidable losses by flood or
other causes, and, perhaps, many other
things that cannot be anticipated, often,
If not always, prevent tlie fuIfillment Of
"the best laid schemes2 But there is
one very prominent difficulty that ev-
cry farmer must encounters He cannot
get laborers that will faithfully follow
his directions. Those whom he en-
ploys may strive TO please him while he
is looking on, and some may even do
their best at all fines, but many will
prove careless when the directing eve

almost sure 10, bring Disappointment
and trouble because Eof their want of
knowledge and skill. Perfect work
cannotbe done by any one who is not,
himself, perfect. Unfortunately, many
on whom we must rely to carry out
our wishes, are destitute of the active
desire and attention TO improve-being
content to move on In future as they
have done in the past. Many seem to
have no capacity for better work than
that which they have long performed,
and only dissapoint those who strive to
instruct them.
What can be done to meet this great
evil! First, az you know That 1T will

A WORLDWIDE REPUTATIoN.-Dr. r. Y.
Pierce, having acquired reputation in the
treatment of Chronic Diseases resulting in
q professional business far exceeding his in
dividual ability to conduct, some years ago
induced several medical gentlemen to asso-
ciate them. elves with him, as the Faculty
of the Worlds Dispensary. the Consulting
Department of which has since been merged
with the Invalids' Hotel. The organization
has now been completed and incorporated
under statute enacted by the Legislature OF
the State of New York, under the name and
style Of the Worlds Dispensary Medical
Association"
We clip the following from the Buffalo
Express:
i branch Of the "Worlds Dispensary
Medical Association" is to be established in
London, Eng, step which the continually
increasing European business Of the Dispcn-
sary has been found to warrant. and next
week DIR. B. 7. Bedortha will sail for the
great metropolis named, to superintend the
organization OF the new institution. This
gentleman has been for some four years as
sociated with Dr. Pierce in position of re-
sponsibility, and is well qualified for the
duty now entrusted to him. Heretofore
the foreign business of the Worlds Dispen-
sary has been transacted through the agency
of prominent druggists, but it has assumed
such proportions as TO require more direct
care Dr. Dedortha will no doubt success
fully carry out his mission. being gentle
man of excellent business abilities and most

at each crossing. But Mr.. Norris avoided
these alternatives by digging ditch across
the road, one end of which opened in the
lot and the other in the pasture, and which
was deep enough and wide enough to allow
COW to pass through, over which he built
bridge for the passage of vehicles, DC.
Thus his cattle can go to and return from
pasture without any trouble whatever, and
the worry and trouble of keeping gates and
fences in repair is dispensed with. One or
two of his neighbors have followed his ex-
ample, and all are well pleased with the ar
rangenlent.
The ordinance of the Town Council rcgu-
lating the Market, which we published last
week, is judicious and proper one, i'll our
opinion. The proposition to tax persons
selling beef or other meats in the town OF
Anderson, unless they rent stall in the
Market would, if carried out, have driven
every person who comes from the country
to sell beef in town to the necessity Of
paying a license for the privilege, and would
have resulted in driving off this portion OF
the towns supply. OF course, it would be
good thing for those renting stalls in the
Market if no other person could sell with
out paying a license or fine, as it would
practically give them O monopoly OF the
business in town. There is no more reason
for protecting those engaged in selling fresh
meats than for protecting the merchants
who sell -four, corn, &C., and if farmer
should be taxed for the privilege of selling
meat to the citizens of the town, he should
also be taxed for the privilege of selling
-four, corn, &c. Such policy would be
ruinous to the best interests of the town,
besides being unjust and oppressive. 1t
would tend to drive off competition, and
lessen the trade of the town, and for this
reason the Town Council has acted wisely
in refusing to begin such policy BY taxing
the people of the country who may have
beef to sell in town. The people approve
this action OF the Council, as they have
done its previous thoughtful ard economi-
cal management.

Friday evening last, given by the Anderson
Theatrical Company, was in every respect
success, and reflected much credit on the
Young ladies and gentlemen engaged in it.
The play presented on this occasion, School
of Reform" or "How to Govern Hus-
band" is one of excellent merit and the
superior skill displayed by the actors and
actresses in its rendition was recognized by
all present. The Hall was well filled by an
appreciative audience, who showed that
tboy were highly interested and entertained
by frequent applause. The members of the
Company are much encouraged over the
very flattering success of this their first en-
tertainmcnt, and promise soon to appear
before the public again with another play
even more entertaining than this one. The
net proceeds of the evening were about $50.
Mr.. A. o. Norris, Of the Tony Greek Sec
ton, is an enterprising young farmer, and
often sets good examples in the manage
ment of his farm to his less thoughtful
neighbors. A gentleman who visited his
farm recently has given US the following ac-
count of the means by which he avoided
the expense and trouble of building cou-
ple of gates and of driving his cattle to and
from pasture, which we publish for the
benefit of those of our readers who may be
similarly situated. His pasture is on the
opposite side of the public road to his lot,
and on either side of the road it is necessary
TO have high, strong fence. 1t would
seem, therefore, absolutely necessary, in
order to get the cattle into the pasture, to
either build gates or make gaps in the fences
