perform in the economy of the hive,
and that is to lay eggs. and she Is
capable of laying from 1000 TO
1000 per day in the height OF the
honey season, and she will ley 1O0,-
600, in a single season. The queen
will live about three years. Two
queens have been found in strong
colonies laying side by side. The
workers are the smallest of the
three kinds, and number from To-
600 to 10000, and strong colonies
have sometimes as high as $4,000
bees. The age of the workers in
ths.busy season is but few weeks,
butthose reared late In the fall live
several months. No worker under
any circumstances lives more than
six or eight months. The drones
are the male bees, and number from
500, to 1000, according to the
strength of the colony and the
quantity of drone comb In the hive.
They are large, burly fellows, with
wings as long as their bodies, and
make loud, buzzing noise when
they fly. They have never been
known to sting any one, for the
very good reason that they have no
sting. They never do any work,
for their proboscis Is too short to
gather honey, and they have no
baskets on their legs to carry pol
len. The age of the drones depends
on the condition of the colony, the
supply of the honey. etc. When
ever the honey ceases or becomes
short the drones are killed, so the
life of drone may be day, week
or several months, according to cir
eumstances. If drones are found
in any hive long after other hives
have killed theirs it is an Indication
tina. the hive is queenless. In rare
cases hive will retain some drones

How to Set Ont an Orchard.

A writer in the Farm Journal de-
seribes the mode by which q sue
cessful orchardist sets out bis
young trees. When they are set
out, he prunes of all the side
branches, and, In order to have all
the heads of a uniform height, the
top of the stem is cut off at the
point of his DOse-which is five
feet from the ground. Here the
head is formed, the branches com
ing out on all sides. At this
height he avoids some of the evils
of taller ones, the branches when
loaded with fruit resting on the
ground, where the crop is easily
gathered, storms are less liable to
blow off the fruit, and no cultiva
tion is needed under the trees.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable tillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock--with the Iodides
of Potassium and0 Iron, and is the
most efficacieus medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure,
Its ingredients are so skilfully
combined that the full alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, ii. is still so effeetual as
to purge ont from the system those
impurities and eorruptionss which
develop into loathsome disease. 80.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of It's usefulness. ..
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence of
the superiority of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than TO assure the public
that the best. qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
