Bees and sugar Refineries.

The Council of Hygiene, of Paris, says La
Nature, was recently called upon TO pro-
nounce upon quite a singular question
There are in Paris, especially in the Thir-
teenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth Wards;
depOts of bee hives, which, of little import
ance at the start, have finally become quite
extensive establishments. Certain of these
depots contain no less than from 120 to $50
hives. Now, as each hive contains upward
of 10000 workers, there are several millions
of bees in each depot At first sight it
might seem surprising that a honey-prOduc-
ing industry should be carried on in the
heart of a great city, where there are no
flowers that the bees can visit to obtain
nectar; but on investigation it has been
found that these establishments have either
through accident or design Undoubtedly the
latter located themselves in the vicinity of
the large sugar retineries. The consequence
is that the latter are constantly visited by
the bees in immense numbers to the serious
annoyance OF the workmen. Inashort space
of time the syrup pans. are completely filed
with bees, and the loss Occasi0ned by this
amounts, in one refinery alone, to about
So 600 year
Various forms of determination have been
devised, but thus far to no purpose. One
refiner, NJ. Say, destroys the insects by means
of fly traps placed near the windows. There
are about sixty of these traps in his refinery,
and the number of bees captured per diem
in each one of them amounts TO about a
quarter of bushel But in spite of all this,
the works continue to be infested. The sugar
refiners have asked for damages, but ut pres
ent the Project of Police has at his DISPOSE
ton no ordinance which will permit him to
allow them. The refners will be Obliged to
suffer the loss and Inconvenience till the
Council makes some rule on the subject.

some village or city reader of your paper

five feet square on city lot, and on this
piece of ground have two of the Old-fash-
toned sour cherry trees which 1 set out eight
or nine years ago. have kept the ground
mellow and wet, spading up the ground for
three or four feet from the body of the tree.
They grew famously; and, If they had never
borne a cherry, / would have been well paid
in having such nice shade trees. But, in the
course of two or three years from the setting
out, we had a fair crop of cherries and for
three years past have never had less than
three bushels, this year getting a trihe over
five bushels from the two trees, by actual
measure. We commenced to pick on June
ii and ended July Z, the trees being so
shaded that they did not ripen very evenly.
We had cherries that measured plump two
and five-eighths inches in circumference, but
only small proportion measured SO much.
Another peculiarly was that they were
never wormy. / do not believe there were
dozen wormy ones in the five bushels.
farmers wife who saw the trees at their
best, declared that she never saw such
sight in her life. The trees are now twenty
five feet high, and one OF them, not having
been cramped for room, has a spread of
about the same diameter. They are not
bushes, but good-sized trees. Anyone can
get just as good results if he will put a little
work on his trees-say three or four hours q
year to each tree. As soon as the ground
gets hard around the trees spade it up. Put
your wash-water and other waste water
about the trees, so that the ground will not
get too dry, and the fruit will be there in
due time 10 pay a hundred-fold for the labor
put upon them.
Another thing is never allow, at any time

| The way get rid of worms is as follows: /
take a strip OF cloth, say an inch wide and
and fifteen or eighteen inches long wind it
round one end of pole, tying it fast, Then,
after saturating it with kerosene, touch a
match to it and apply>to the nest of worms
BY using small strip the flame is not large
| enough to do the tree any damage, and the
worms are so thoroughly destroyed that they
do not leave any eggs to appear as worms in

and September the worms need looking

Fan Management of Bees.

Mr.. A. ]. King, editor of the Bee Keepers
Magazine, gives the following timely and
sensible advice in the August number of
that journal: .sAll successful apiarists know
that TO winter safely, and have stocks in a
condition in spring to avoid spring dwind-
ling preparations TO secure these objects
must be made during the summer and fall.
At least three conditions must be complied
with to accomplish the desired result l.
Plenty of good sealed honey stored in the
summer. 2. Plenty of young bees reared in
the fall g. A warm hive which will retain
heat, pass off all excess of moisture. and at
the same time, except in the far North, per-
nit the bees TO fly out during the warm days
frequently occurring in the latter part of
winter and early spring. If these simple
requirements are, fully complied with, We
believe that nine-tenths of all the maladies
affecting our bees, and an equal amount of
the dismal bowling of bes men p would at
once disappear This new industry would
then assume an aspect at once inviting and
and July th;ckeF land contains
less acid than that stored \ later
in the season, and for this reason is a better
winter food than fall honey; hence, during
these months full frames OF honey shouldbe
removed from the hives and put away in a
dark, dry and airy room for wintering pur-
poses. and their places in the hive be filled
with frames full OF comb foundation set in
the center of the hive; and if a dearth of
honey in the flower occurs, Just feed a little
syrup from best brown sugar each evening
from the entrance of the hive, thus rapid
breeding will be promoted and by the TINA
the fall flowers spread their honey petals
to the bees you will have perfect host Of
young. vigorous workers to store il away.
And as those who are posted know that bees
are not inclined to store honey in the boxes
in fall, you should take the hint by using
the extractor and always replacing the
empty combs in the center of the breeding
department of the hive, process which in
yariably excites the bees to the most intense
activity, and which the knowing ones"
take advantage OF, AMI in consequence take

thousands of pounds of honey, while
you complainers either suck your fingers,
or stand with your hands IN your
pockets wondering why your bees cluster on
the outside of the hive and appear so lazy.
When this fall harvest is goingon, thequeen
will appropriate enough OF the space i'm these
center frames of the empty comb to insure
sufficient number of the young bees to go
into winter quarters with. Lastly, extract
all the combs containing honey and no
brood to speak Of and set them away for
use in early spring and in their place put
the frames full Gi summer-stored honey.
Now, with about six or seven frames in the
center of each hive, bring the porous, close
fitting division boards close up. Place a
chaff cushion on top of the frames about
four inches thick. Leave the air-holes in
each end of the cap open, contract the en-
trance to about one inch space, and your bees
will pass the severest winters of this latitude
on their summer stands and begin breeding
rapidly by the middle of March, when your
empty combs should be brought into use for
the queen to fill up with eggs. Feed a little
regularly, and by the time the first honey
harvest of the spring comes your stocks Will
be in condition to store il in the little boxes
which they will now use freely. Thus by the
constantsupplyo fyoung bees, the use ola good
article of honey for winter, the absence OF
an over supply OF moisture In the hive, you
have all the conditions TO insure success
And if you will but follow out our plan
given here in nutshell, You will succeed
nine times out of ten; but if you are too
stingy to feed your bees when they need it,
too timid to examine into their condition,
too lazy or stupid to post yourself on the
correct theory OF bees in order TO read their
condition and know their needs as soon as
you see the interior OF the hive, or if you
are afraid of steady, hard work, and imagine
your bees Twill work for nothing and board
both themselves and YOU" then we advise
you by all means to quit the business, for
you will only disgrace il and bring unmer-
tied contempt on our little fayorites, the
bees. We like custom and enjoy the profits
arising from a large business, but not well
enough to encourage lot of blockheads to
engage in or continue business for which
they were never qualified"

Profits of sheep Raising.
minnesota Farmer

Four years ago Mr.. Fleet bought ten head
of sheep, says the Mankato Review, for
which he paid 81 each, or $40 for the lot
The first year the wool crop sold for SIS;
the second $50; the third, $50, or total of
$142. He has killed six head, which have
Melted him more than the original outlay,
and still has fifty head of old sheep and
thirty young ones, from which he estimates
that he will shear at least S160 worth of wool
This will give $500 for wool in the four
years, and his flock is worth $3.50 more. OF
course their keeping has been a source of
expense, but the benefits of flock of sheep
in keeping down weeds and brush on farm
almost compensate for their care. A farmer
of experience in wool-growing has well said
that there is more money in growing wool
at twenty cents pound than to loan your
money at 10 per cent. interest.

The Sentinel is selected as the organ of commu-

whole State may know the vigorous efforts

doubtful Districts of Indiana and especially

much. Mr.. Graves is the Cashier of the
First National Bank, Warsaw He naturally
wants some man in Congress TO look after
the special interests of banks and bond
holders. and is at work to elect Mr.. Calkins,
the Republican candidate. The truth is,
"Majah" Calkins is on his last legs. He is
one of those fellows who wanted to help
Ben Harrison build an Idiot Asylum for the

contribution from every man

now. how Mr. Calkins hopes to ''save his
bacon" Money is to be brought into the
District. These circulars are to be sent all
over the country. Wherever Mr. Calkins
can find man basking in the sunshine of
official favor" Mr.. Graves will be instructed
to ask contribution. How vast sum of
money in this way will be placed at the dis
posal of the Republican candidate for Con-
gress in this District can not be foretold
When procured, it will be placed where it
will do the most good. This shameless at
