Bee Notes.
Tie Florida Agricult,trist:

Editor Of The Florida Agrtcultmist:
The bees all want overhauling
now, ii it has not already been done,
to see that they have plenty to eat
and fertile queen. AS they are
now raising brood extensively, they
require plenty of honey and pollen.
Where drones are seen flying from
the hive, it is an indication that the
queens fertility is exhausted, and
that she should be replaced by one
that is young and vigorous. Whether
or not this is the case, can be deci~
ded by looking for worker eggs and
brood; if there ale plenty OF them,
her majesty is all right. The swarm.
ing season will probably commence
early in March, so it is now time to
have hives on hand ready tor the in
crease. Do not delay making hives
etc., until the last moment or troub.
lie will follow. w. S. HART.

The Navel Orange.

Although this Orange has CONS
manded much attention for several
years past, and large numbers have
been planted, and it is asserted to be
the quickest bearing of any, yet we
never see them on the market for
sale, or quoted in the Northern mar

dents account for this? Or is it shy

Flower Gardening.

The growing OF flowers is OF all
the pleasures of mankind the one to
be chosen as most innocent of itself
and mostperfectly harmless to Others.
The work is not only good for health
and peace of mind, but probably
more good will has sprung up, and
friendships been founded by the fell
lowship brought about by this pur-
suit than by any other. There is no
other pursuit alike suited tor. rich
and poor, for the poorest may pos~
sess and enjoy the same sweet rose or
geranium in his piazza and plot of
ground, that occupies place in the
garden of the richest. There are
few surer tests Of happy homewithin
than the flower decorated piazza and
neatly kept garden without; and
there is no occupation for the leisure
hours more calculated to keep it so,
or soothe the mind. We are lead to
these remarks, by observing through
out the country, a growing taste for
flowers, and it is astonishing how in
many places visited, some familiar
favorite of long ago, and memorial OF
former scenes greet us wherever we
90. The homes left behind have
yielded many plants, cherished by
their owners in the homes they have
made here. 1t is extremely crafty
ing to us to record this state OF things,
and we propose in some future nuns
bers,making some remarks on flowers
in general and what comes under our
notice as suitable for growing in this
climate. Roses seem a prime favo-
rite, and winter and spring jointly vie

How to DeOdorize Stables.

We often wonder why the occupants
of large costly dwellings permit stables
for horses and the pits adjoining hold
ing the exoreta so close to the house,
and have hostlers and eoachmen to come
there. to kitchen and dining-rooms, with
rank-smelling person and clothing. When
! yellow corn, mixed with mill feed is fed
to horses generally, or hard-husked old
oats given to old horses that cannot
duly masticate aud consequently fully
digest them, the droppings and urine
are unusually acrid, and will badly scent
whatever absorbents are about. All this
injurious unsavoriness may be avoided
by simple and cheap means. Very dry,
aOdste plaster of Paris, or fine powdered
land plaster busted on stable floors
where said voidings generally accumu-
late, will cover or coat them and pre-
clude the escape of ammonia.
When the bottom and sides of the
vaults are busted, and the ordure nicely
levelled therein, then frmed by treading
them down with the feet of stablemen
standing on thick board finally, hav
ing a moderate coat of plaster scattered
over as painters sand-coat oiled walls, no
etfluvia will issue, because the am
monia is bound. On emptying these
vaults the contents may be properly
called manurial matter unless too much
salt hay or long straw, not fully soaked,
or badly carbonized litter be there. The
wagon loads might likewise proftably
be busted top and fanks ere starting,
and 80 further obviate the ungrateful
sight and odor of offal openly passing
through the streets. We have read of
prominent livery man in Manchester,
England, disinfecting his stables with
Douglas powder, made for that purpose.
This did not only prove beneficial to man
and beast, precluding sore eyes aud
coughs, sc. but the weddings were eager
ly bought by truckers, for these got the
full value of their money.
The rubbish so generally bought for
manuring is almost enthusiastically
worth Huntingdon the substance has
largely evaporated, either before or dur
ing transit, and more yet ere said stuff
is covered with soil enough to prevent
still more exposure. 1t might be well
for the horse car companies to try this
process on q small scale.

COlOradO's Cave.

Colorado abounds in the finest scenery,
and now it comes to the front with fine
cave at Manitou, which for beauty cannot
be excelled in the world. This wondsr srful
cave is situated about one mile from the
Manitou depot, up Williams canon, and
should be seen by every one who visits
that favorite resort during the summer
months. While this cave is not, as large
as the Mammoth one in Kentucky, 1t is
equally as interesting. 1t was discovered
last year by couple of boys from Colora-
do Springs, but the wonderful beaut les
uuder ground were not known until last
February, when Messrs Rneheart and
Snlder purchased 1t and began exploring
the different chambers, and their trouble
was rewarded by finding some seventy
FIVE or eighty different chambers, varying
In size from % feet square to one hundred
feet, while one chamber is 225 feet long
by 81 feet wide and the same distance
high. The caverns are covered with
limestone formations calleo stalactites,
and they can be found in every magma
BILE shape. Upwards Of 5000 people
visited this wonderful cave during the
past season. All were well pleased with
the sight This cave Ia six stories high,
and when tourists visit Manitou next year
1t will have been explored and made
ready for them.

ground east of the winding Cuyahoga.

them as testimony of their affection
for him, to learn to make their own
clothes and cook O good dinner. The
young girls cheerfully promised, and
not long after invited their parents and

wore dainty gown made by her own
