Bruin and the Bees.

Two thousand hives are not uncom-

derness, under one bee-keeper, who, in
his solitude, far from the haunts of men,
protects them with his dogs and guns
from the assaults of grizzly bears, that
keep watch by day and night. In one
night a dozen bruins make a concerted
raid on the apiary, each taking hive
in hug, upsetting it, and using his huge
paws, spoon fashion, gobbles up honey,
comb, bees alive, wax, bee bread and
ALL Having no wiping convenicnces,
Bruin comes out of the fray thoroughly
bedaubed, head to tail, eyes not except

he rolls in the yellow dust and converts
the viscous coat into a dusty ulster that
laughably DISCUSSES the animal beyond
recognition. But how do the bees take
it? Their sting is powerless against the
bears hide, and the bear rather likes
the buzzing music at his supper. But
when fire sweeps the overdry brush the
keeper flies for his life and the bees are
burned up with their honeyed treasures.

rious sections of the United States for
goat-raising, many people appear to
have an idea that the Angora and Cash
mere goats are identical. They are as
distinct as the Merino is from the Lei
cester sheep. The Cashmere is valued
for the production of small quantity of
extremely fine wool, which grows at the
roots of the long, coarse hair with
which the animal is covered, while the
great value of the Angora is found in the
high quality of its fleece, sometimes
called mohair- Cashmeres are found on
the slopes of the Himalayas and in the
valley of the Thibet and Cashmere
Angoras come originally from the
neighborhood Of Angora, in Asia Minor.

An ingenious Frenchman has de-
vised a game for facilitating the study
of geography by children. It consists
of large planisphere map of the globe,
accompanied by numerous objects rep
resenting animals, plants, flags, cos
tunes, towns and landscapes. These
objects, of painted cardboard, stand up
right when the small inscription accom-
panying them is folded back; and each
one bears, moreover, q number CORE
spending to one on the map. Placing
each in the proper position, the child
quickly becomes familiar with the sub
ject illustrated; if it be a plant, he knows
the place which produces it and its use;
if a town, he knows its population, posi-
ton, etc. The new game has received
the approval of the Paris Society of
Geography.

Poultry Houses.

THE style and finish of the buildings
Intended for poultry depend much on
the purse and taste of the owner. Com
fort Of the Occupants should not be sac
rifced, for without being comfortable
the hens can not long remain in profit.
Avoid low or damp localities, as this
gives roup, or brings on o low state of
health, which invites disease, or results
in Leg weakness and emaciated birds,
the progeny of Which will be victims Of
the gapes, pip and similar diseases. The
location should be on dry upland, gravel
ly soil, and be well drained. Fowls can
endure much cold without serious injury,
providing it be dry. The floor should
not be of brick or cemented, but if sol
i'd flooring be required, it may be paved
with cobble-stones, deeply imbedded in
gravel, and loose gravel or sand scat
tered over the surface, which can be re-
moved once or twice year and re-
placed by fresh. Over this, air-slaked
lime may be scattered literally, or
wood ashes. If coal ashes be supplied,
place them in box in one corner of the
room. The box should be deep, that
the fowls may not scratch them out over
the floor. Fowls when confined are
fond of scratching and picking among
coal ashes. In them they find some
thing that assists in the digestion of
their food, while also finding employ
ment.
The building should not be high or
lofty, unless two-story. Eight feet at
the peak is sufficient for all ordinary
purposes, and should gradually slope
down at the back or north end to about
four feet. Here should be the roosts.
The southern portion should be perhaps
about five feet erect, and the glass win
dows inclined from this to meet the raft
ers at the peak. This plan gives the
sun-rays directly on the ground floor.
and on sunny days creates a great deal
of warmth, if the building be made air
tight, or as nearly as can be, with
matched or battened boards, or what is
still better, lathed and plastered. This
warmth will be retained well through
out the night. The advantage of low
roosts, close to the roof, is obvious. 1t
is good for heavy breeds as well as
light.
