The main honey flow for this sea
son is now over, and the bees will
have a rest until the middle of Sep
tember, during which time they will
not gather enough for their daily
wants, so it behooves the provi6ent
bee>keeper to see that all of the
colonies have at least twelve pounds
of good sealed honey in their hives
Any late swarms that may have
come out after the 25th of July
should be looked to, and either kept
we'll supplied with food or else
united with colonies weak in numbers
but having supply of honey.
All unfinished sections should now
be taken off, as, ifleft on, the combs
will become soiled by the bees run-
ming over them. Now is the time to
prepare tor wintering by uniting all
the weak colonies and iceding those
that are short of stores enough to
carry them through in case the fall
flowers and saw palmetto berries
fail to give US late crop. A strong
colony will eat but a trife lit any,
more than a weak one, as the animal
heat is easier kept up by the larger
number OF bees. The large colony
will also be able to protect itself from
robber bees and the bee moth, to
which the smaller colonies might fall
as victims.

adapted to Veibsia and Brevard

pine land is lacking in many things
that must be supplied in order to
have vegetables of good quality.
We have seen few things grown
on the natural land, sueh as turnips,
collards, etc, for greens, but they
plainly showed their want OF nour.
ishment. We have seen white beans
planted in field, and next to them,
cow~peas; the beans grew six or
eight inches high, turned yellow and
died, the cow-peas grew two feet
high, with runners from six to at>
teen feet long, and covered the whole
ground. No greater contrast could
be seen than these two fields pre-
sented, showing that one was its ma.

acres of cotton this year, using Gould

You must remember that Florida,

Prof. Richards will defend this fervid
month, even in Florida, for he says:
"Why do poets slight thee then, July?
Thou,knowest not, trow, and little carest;
With blazing wheels, thy chariot iushes by,
Most fervid, thou, of months, if not the fair

There are many things even in a
Florida July to interest a North
erner. To be sure we must leave
out making jelly and canning cher

Northern housekeeper; but in con-

While the Northern farmer is
whetting his scythe and reaper for
his poetical work of haymaking and
harvesting in these sultry midsum'

to sit on his piazza and watch the
growth of these immense orange
groves. He was sensible enough to
complete all his outdoor work when
the weather was cool. He worked
during long, pleasant winter, when
YOU were buried in those snow drifts.
Now he can afford to rest. Instead
of calculating the probable income

knows of their value as stock for

AT the North we used to grow Della

other variety OF grape roots; used
some coarse thrifty grower as a
stock, thus invigorating the top.
Mr. F. suggests the use of seedlings
from the Bergamot lemon as a stock,
and desires to procure seeds so as to
try the experiment. Who knows of
any experiment which would settle
this point? His experience with

uufavorable. He has variety of
