A novel way Of advertising the North
ern Pacific railroad has just been devised
by James B. Power, land commissioner
of that road. He has had car built in
the Brainerd shops expressly for exhibit
ing the agricultural products Of Northern
Minnesota in the East. Ranged around
the sides Of the car are bundles of wheat,
oats. rye and barley, and specimens of
twenty.three varieties of grasses, includ.
ing red and white clover, timothy, blue
grass, al&lfa, etc, while arranged on
shelves are glass jars holding specimens
Of the various cereals grown on the line
Of the road. The whole car, inside and
out, is decorated in very neat and tasty
manner, and the Northern Pacific may
well be proud. It will doubtless bring
many immigrants to this country.

Just six years ago this opening day your
correspondent took her first peep at Con-

Republican disasters of 1874. 1t marked
an era-the incursion of the Democrats
upon legislative power. This day also
marks an era-the return of the Republic

were insolent and haunting. To-day they
were as docile as lambs led to the slaughter.
But the Republicans bear their triumph
with the nagnanimity of true manhood.
There were no taunts to-day. General
Garfield was missed from his so long.accus-

Useful Items in Beekeeping.

All actions and movements should be easy,
gentle and moderate.
If bees come latter you,n stand still a
moment with head bowed
Never run, make other quick motions, or
fight the bees.
II stung, make little mud with spittle,
and hold on the spot for three minutes.
Knock on the hive several times, five min
utes before opening it.
Go slow-take things moderate /; if the
bees feel mischievous, wait little, and move
frames slowly if they don't behave, blow a
little smoke from rag or pipe, and go on.
Don't vex, annoy, stir up, or excite bees
more than you can help.
Take yourself and all traces of honey away
from the apiary as soon as you are done your
work.
Never pound, thump, jar,or make unnec-
essary hustle about apiary.
If bees get cross, do you keep calm
"Whom the gods would destroy, they first
make mad" If you get angry, excited, and
feel like fighting, It's as good thing as the
bees want; they are a host in the fight
If your bees are weak, give them frame
of brood from a strong hive.
If they are queenless, give them frame
of brood and eggs, with plenty of young
bees.

which should be done to-day. The extractor
has got TO run; and an apiary of three or
four hundred stands be gone through once in
twelve or fourteen days, according to the
time of year that brings us to the different
qualities of honey.
If day is lost, it is lost forever, and a
day work for one hundred stands of bees, in
the best of the season, is from 500 to 200
pounds, and the price of that would pay a
hired man months wages Again, if the
combs get full and have no room, the bees
will swarm and that takes time to put them
back. so both you and the bees have lost time,
which is valuable if counted right.
Two men can extract from thirty to fifty
hives in day if the honey is in the right
condition to extract, the days work will
count from 1000 up to $500 or 5000 lbs.
This has all got to be canned in the morning,
for it is better to let it settle twelve or more
hours. It will keep better, look clearer, and
all the fine particles of wax or comb will rise
and should be taken off every day or two

valuable wa1nuts and ohestuuts.

We have received from Felix Gillet, the
well-known nurseryman of Nevada City,
sample of his Prnparturieus walnut and
Marion Combale chestnut. To begin with.
we must say that the specimens are magnifi-
cent productions. The Preparturieus walnut
is larger nut than the average of the Eng
lish walnuts imported. 1t is claimed that it
is much earlier and more prolific bearer
than the common English walnut 1t not
unfrequently bears when the tree is but three
years old, while the tree of the English walnut
seldom bears before the tree is six or seven
years old. Another advantage of the Proc
parturieus over the English nut is that it
blossoms so much later in the spring, thus
being less likely to be injured by late frcsts,
which in seme localities in this State destroy
the crop of the common English walnut
Its pistillate and seaminate blossoms are in
full bloom at the same time, thus securing
crop every year. The irregularity of bloom
of the English walnut is one of its
greatest objections or drawbacks, as
its uncertainty as a bearer arises from
this irregularity. This walnut has a
very sweet meat, and is very easily
extracted from its socket, and the skin in
closing the meat, and which gives the meat,
when eaten, the bitter taste of the walnut,
in the Prnparturieus is very delicate and
thin, and hence does not affect the meat very
perceptibly. For this State this nut has
many advantages. which will be appreciated
more and more as they come into general
use. Much was expected from the English
walnut, but little has been realized, and we
see no reason why these unfruitful trees may
not be made useful by grating them with
scions from the Preparturieus. The speci-
mems of Marion Combale chestnut are also

CUTTING Docs EARS. : An English
writer explains that dogs, terriers included,
that are used in hunting, would be better
for having their tails and ears shortened,
except in those breeds where the toughness
and natural protection of the ear renders
this unnecessary. The origin of cutting
the ears of bulldogs and all terriers, not
used to 60 to ground, was, he says, to give
them protection in fighting. Five and
twenty years ago people took an interestin
the quarrelsome nature of these kinds OF
dogs, and were pleased if they possessed
one of superior courage. This Is now luck
lily changed quarrelsome dog is consid-
cred a nuisance That the owner Of dog
likely 70 be exposed to the attacks OF others
would by cutting his ears save him from in
iuries which would far outweigh in pain
and inconvenience that which would arse
from having his ears cut while still pup
py, does not admit OF doubt. The cause
having disappeared, the practice has very
generally gone out.

Another Good Season.

The rains have come in good time and in
most favorable manner = so gradually
that the water has had time to soak
into the ground where it fell, and
thus fill the soil equally. Enough
has fallen also so that if we should not have
any more till spring, the crops are assured.
Our rains last spring were so late and so
abundant that much more moisture than
usual has been carried over in the SOIL and
the crops have this reserve to draw upon In
case of necessity. Then. too, another favorab e
circumstance may be noticed; the atmosphere
between our rains has remained so damp
that no moisture has been carried away by
evaporation. We think the promise now ex-
cellent for another favorable season for all
the farmers and the country generally.

Legfslation and insects.

The State Horticultural Society at its last
meeting in San Francisco appointed COM
mittee of intelligent and practical fruit
growers, for the purpose of framing a bill to
be presented to the Legislature, looking to
preventing the spread of insects injurious to
fruit, and for the purpose of discriminating
them from sections where they have already
formed lodgment. We understand this
committee will meet in this city, probably at
the Office of the Secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture, at an early day after the
holidays. We hope practical bill will be
framed by the committee, and that the Leg
islature will enact it into law, and that all
good citizens will give It's execution their
hearty countenarce. The climate of this
State is undoubtedly very favorable to the
increase of insects, but if their destruction
be undertaken with judgment and energy
their spread may be very effectually checked
and impeded, and the expense of the under
taking will be light as compared to the in
creased crop of fruit that will follow.
