SUPERIORITY OF ITALIAN BEEs.-Mr.
j. b. Mlcthell, in the Hawkinsvi|,e
(Ga.) Dispatch, gives the following
brief but comprehensive summary of
the superior qualities of the Italian
bees:
Their good qualities are now conced-
ed by all who have tried both varieties
under similar circumstances, and they
are rapidly taking the place OF the
blacks in all parts of the country.
They are more active than other
bees, making three fights in the time
that the black bees make two; they are
more hardy, working earlier and later,
and in cooler weather; they gather
honey from flowers that are not ire-
queuted 10y black bees; their queens
are more prolific, so that they may be
increased much faster with safety;
they gather more honey and give more
swarms in the same length of time, and
are more gentle and easily handled
tLau toe black bees.
Their chief point of excellence, and
one that is worth everything to bee
keepers in the south is, that they read
lily and successfully defend their hive
against the depredations of the bee
moth. 4 strong colony of Italians is
worth more as protection against this
pest than all the mothproof hives and
moth traps that were ever invented.

Hill or Level Culture for Tobacco.

Recent tests made by the New York
Experiment station, to determine some
of the characteristics of the tobacco
plant, have demonstrated that the roots
do not penetrate the soil to as great
depth as those of corn, potatoes, tim
othy, and most other of our common
crop plants. Matured plants of tobac-
co, carefully taken up and the roots
washed out, have shown the latter to
lie near the surface, where they occu-
by the soil for a considerable distance
on all sides. The tobacco plant being
a surface feeder, and a lover of light
and heat, it il probable that the conn
mon practice of forming hills about the
plants during the process of hoeing and
cultivating results in positive damage to
the crop. retarding growth and full de-
velopment. have frequently during
periods of wet weather seen the root
lets cropping out upon the surface of
the soil in rows, and where hills have
been mpde abC~t plants, the roots,

Cutting Sorghum.

The practice of cutting sorghum
when the seed is in the dough is con-
demned by Mr.. Collier, chemist of tn
department of agriculture. He claims
that cane cut five weeks later gives bet.
ter results. The analysis made for both
show a greater percentage of sugar in
the late cutting. The chemist says
"There is hardly one chance in q hun.
dred that sugar can be produced from
any variety of sorghum in paying
quantities if the crop is worked up
when the seed is i'll the dough. The
failure Of the department of agricul-
ture to make sugar last year, and the
ten thousand failures throughout the
country the past twenty five years, have
been mainly due to this: that the crop
was worked too early Ill its develop
ment."
The above recommendation of Prof.
Collier that cane should not be cut an
til the seed is thoroughly ripe, and
even long after it is ripe, we do not
endorse. The best sugar results have
been obtained from the earliest cut
cane. AS soon as the dough in the
seed is hard, cut and press the cane as
rapidly as possible. Prof. Golfers
recomm endations do not tally with the
experiments made by Prof. Scovile
and many others. Let careful expert
ments be made this season, to settle
this question rs to the best time to cut
cane for sugar, and syrup also.-R,rdl

Green Rye as Fodder.

In regard to the actual value of green
rye used as fodder the past season, the
following facts may be considered, as
given by writer in the Baltimore
Times:
Seven young COWS in full flush of
milk, having calves from two to six
months old, and having no distinguish
ing circumstances by which change
of feed should fail to act upon the pro-
duct of milk and butter with one more
than another, had been fed for some
time upon fifteen pounds of mixed
clover and timothy hay and common
meadow hay mixed, cut, wetted and
mixed with ten pounds of mixed corn
meal and wheat middlings daily. The
yield had been very regularly 112
pounds of milk per day, and As lbs. of
butter weekly from the whole seven
cows. The rye became ready for cut
ting on the 10th of May, when the first
heads began to appear. The daily IA.
ton was sixty pounds, part cut and
wetted and mixed with the meal rs be.
fore, and part fed whole, but all was
eaten up clean. The second week after
feeding the rye, the yield OF milk was
los pounds per day, and the weekly
make of butter Increased TO sixty-iive
pounds. 1t will be seen that the fresh,
green fodder, while it largely added to
the produce of milk, did not quite in
crease in proportion to the yield of
butter, for while on dry feed sixteen
pounds of milk made pound of but
ter, eighteen pounds were required
when the rye was fed. AS the rye APP
preached to poisoning and became
heavier, and the weather became
warmer, the ration of meal was de-
creased gradually until but six pounds
of mixed feed were given daily, and at
the present writing the yield of milk
is slightly decreased, but the weekly
churning has undergone no diminu-
ton,

Shallow Cultivation for Fruits.

Fruit growers must be reminded that
their hoes, cultlvators and plows may
do more damage to plants than good
if not used with discretion. The small
fruits-berries, currant, grapes, also
dwarf pears, ounces, etc, root near
the surface. Here are found the least
roots, those that provide most noufish-
ment. Nature designs these 20 be
mulched by the dead leaves, and in
our fields mulching would be the best
treatment if it We're possible. AS it is
the best we can do to give frequent
but shallow cultivation. | have seen
intelligent men blowing deep burrows
alongside of their raspberries, currants
and grapes, well satisfied that they
were doing thorough work that would
secure an abundant harvest. Let such
men dig up one plant before thus
blowing and one after, and see what
butchery they have committed. There
are no tap-roots stretching far down
into the subsoil, but simply a few
laterals branching out say from two to
four inches below the surface, and
more Of these have been sacrificed 10y
the plowshare When we set green
hands hoeing strawberries and newly
set raspberrles, we know what they
will do if not watched they will de-
stroy half their roots and loosen the
hold for life that the struggling plants
have secured by chopping close about
them. -Frtla Garden.

Sure Death to Lice.

Take bar of common soap; place
in pan containing little water; then
heat until melted down; then add car.
bolic acids crystals (carbohc acid crys-
tails can be had of any druggist in one

each pound of soap used; there is no
danger if used stronger. To reduce
the crystals to fluid state remove the
cork from the bottle, place in water and
heat the water, when it may be easily

When cool, strong soapsuds made
with this soap will be sure death TO all

The swiss Goodnight.

Among the lofty mountains and ele-
waited valleys Of Switzerland the A pine
horn has another use besides that of
sounding the far-famed Rans des Vdches,
or COW song; and this is of a very
solemn and impressive nature. When
the sun has set in the valley, and the
snowy SUBMITS of Their .ountains CLEAN
with golden light, the herdsman who
dwells upon the highest inhabitable
spot takes his horn, and pronounces
clearly and loudly through it, as
through speaking trumpet. praise
the Lord Godw As soon as the sound
is heard by the neighboring herdsmen,
they issue from their huts, take their
Alpine horns and repeat the same
words. This frequently lasts a quarter
of an hour, and the call resounds from
all the mountains and rocky cliffs
around. All the herdsmen kneel and
pray with uncovered heads. Meantime
it has become quite dark. Good
night" al last calls the highest herds
man through his horn. Goodnight"
again resounds from all the mountains,
the horns of the herdsmen, and the
rocky cliffs. The mountaineers then

The Most Superior Cat,

A literary friend of mine at Bath,
says a contributor to the London
Standard, had been often vastly anus
ed at the interest with which her cat
appeared to view her proceedings at
the writing table. He would some
times Jump up beside her and lay his
paw on her wrist. On one occasion,
however, he leaped on the table in
front OF her and watched her narrowly
and with such preternaturally know
ing glance in the bright eye, with his
head held slightly on one side that she
was impelled to lay down her pen
and look at him. What was her sur
prise and delight to see him walk de-
hberately to the inkstand, take pen
in his mouth, and, leaping to the floor,
com menced tracing characters with it
on the carpet, fortunately for which
poor Timothy had forgotten the ink.
Another day his mistress said to
him in fun; "Oh, Titnothy, | have just
lost a button off my new dress. |
wish you would find it." The animal
looked at her, walked out of the room
and returned in Il few minutes with
the missing button in his mouth.
Alas poor Timothy he had disap-
peared, and this is probably the only
permanent record of his winning ways.

without decreasing the yield. In
one case only would | advise the prsc.

rs is the case in some tobacco fields in
this section. This weed is best sub.
dued in the field by covering it un
with soil, and when hoeing tobacco
where it is found to exist largely. /
have found it advisable to draw I'M
mellow soil from between the rows and
cover up the passlane plants, which
necessitates killing up the tobacco
somewhat.
Rapid growth and development Of
plants is necessary for the production of
the best quality of cigar-making tobac
co, and it is important that the grower
should understand the characteristics
of the plants, that he may practice the
methods of culture which will result in
