The inquiry is often made, "Will
| 1t pay to feed bees?n answer no,
not long in this country, where
bees fly out every day. There Is
perhaps no insect more neat and
clearly in its home and habits
than the bee. 1t never evacuates
in the hive unless diseased go that
lit cannot get out. When filled
with honey 1t remains 80 for many
days when confined to Its domicil by
cold or Indictment weather-evac-
uation only taking place when 1t
ifs ieout. On its return 1t again gorg-
es or fills it's stomach with honey,
when 1t is not employed in gather
ing. Consequently in this climate,
where bees fly out almost every
day during the interval of working
seasons, it does not pay to feed only
brief period prior to the early
bloom, as a colony would soon con-
sumo more honey than their value.
When feeding is once commenced
it must be kept up until the COM
mencement of the honey season.
as 1t has tendency to make bees
lazy and dependent upon the feed.
In cold climates, where bees are
confined to their homes, feedin g
will pay, as they do not consume
near the quantity of food. speak
from personal observation and
would not advise feeding only as
before stated AS the bees die or
leave their hives examine their
combs, and il there be any moth in
them remove them and fumigate
the combs with birthstone. Return
them to the hive and close 1t SO
that mice, ants. and millers cam
not enter. Where no signs
of moth are discernible close
the hive as just stated. Comb
should be preserved, as it is an i'm
portant requisite to the early for.
nation of new and strong colonies
and the collection of honey so
much SO that the expression,
"empty comb is worth Its weight
in gold to the bee.keeper,n has
passed into q proverb among apia-
rists. It is Estimated that the
building OF one pound of comb is
equivalent to the gathering of 90
or 25 pounds of hOney; hence the
great value attached to comb.
Those who do not often examine
their bees will be astonished to
find so many colonies that have
succumbed to the pinchipg hand
of poverty, while the most
trying time is yet to come-jast
at the beginning OF the working
season. 1t is then that feeding
pays in this cIimate-it stimulates
breeding and insures early swsrms.
have heretofore stated that the
mortality among bees, from the
close of the working season in 1881
to the beginning of the same In
1882. will be from one-half to three
fourths. still maintain 1t.

Little Women.

Formerly women were slaves to
the passions of men. In modern
times they have risen little above
that, and have become the pets and
toys of men. A pet or toy-say a
black and tan-is valuable in proper
ton to its diminutiveness. In Sc
Letting wife to be dressed in silks
and laces, with trinkets in her ears,
rings on her fingers and ornaments
stuck all over her, that she may be
ready to receive him grandly when
he returns to his home, a man pre-
fers little wife, for the same reason
that he prefers little black and tan.
This is the source OF the preference
for little women. Whenever woman
shall rise to true companionship
with man, as their equals and not
their toys, then small woman will
no more be preferred than a small
man. When ideas of use, of true
womanhood and dignified mother
hood shall prevail over this Turkish
notion of toys, women of command
ing presence will be sought after,
and little woman will suffer the
same disadvantage in the matrimo-
NAL market that little man does.

An Of.Hand Assay.

The New York Stock Report says:
IA crude assay of carbonate of silver
and lead will often prove satisfactory
to the prospector and miner, but
merely a rough estimate as TO the
value Of the mineral, may be &C.
complished by pulverizlng the car
Donate and putting it in a crucible
or a common clay pipe, with an
equal quantity of the ordinary salt
of commerce, then placing it over
a properly arranged 1ire. After it
appears to boil or bubble. remove it
so the mass will cool. The lead and
silver will be precipltated, the latter
beneath the former. To cause the
separation of those two metals place
the nugget in a bone dust cup and
melt it whereupon the lead will be
absorbed, leaving the more precious
metal in the form of button. If
gold shonId be mingled with the sill
yer, boiling the button in chemical
" pure nitric acid will dissolve the
silver. and the same may be secured
through the evaporation of the liquid
which will cause the precipitation OF
of the argentiferous substance held
in solution. The gOl d, as a matter
of course, should be- recovered before
seeking for silver. AS rule how
ever, it Is better to submit ores to
we'll skilled professional assayers, if
accurate estimates be desired.
