Different Kinds Of Bee eepers.

The following article from pen of
Mrs. Harrison taken from the PRAIRIE
FARMER, is worthy Of insertion IN our
bee columns. Sloven management Of
bees and dauby handling of honey is a
great drawback to bee culture. II will
be found TO be more profitable to have
honey Put up in small packages and in
neat style than in the old careless way.
ee-keepers no longer hear the
whistling notes Of swarm, or the hap.
py hum of the bees, after a prosperous
day, as they evaporate nectar; in lieu
of this they love to hear the jingle of
clean cash as the result Of their labors,
There are different kinds of bee-keep-
ers, though; some do not keep bees for
profit, az, for instance, the amateurs
who rear them for love, or recreation
or to acquire know edge Of insect life.
II is an ornament 10 q lawn 10 have a
nice hive tenanted with beautiful TIA
Iians. to fertilize the fruit and TO pro-
tect it when ripe, from msraudiug boys.
There is set another class VINO neither
keep bees for profit nor pleasure, but
apparently to damage others. This
latter class are an intolerable pest.
They keep bees in hap-sszard way,
and do not care whether they get much
surplus, regarding the bees rs sort Of
nuisance, aud let them spread disease
and raise moths I'D hbitum. When
they b We, by mere streak Of good
luck, some surplus honey to dispose Of,
they bring il to market in bad shape.
Sometimes in sulphuring the bees they
spoil the honey; sometimes they load
in the hive, dead bees and all; or cell
"clunk honey" in tubs and buckets
some a little better stores in rough
boxes. A person does not find ready
sale for this stuff, and as last resort,
puts it IN commission house, saying,
asell 1t for whatever you can get

A COSTLY SPEECH.
An Iudelivered Address which Costs
the Government sI.ti0.

The bill for the Ave colored maps
for General Wheeler's speech, printed
in the Congressional Record last week,
has come in and it amounts to 5000.
Toe cost OF the plates for the text of
so much of this Record as was occu.
pied by Wheeler for the regular edition
amounts TO $500 more, making the
simple cost of this "leaye 10 print 1"
some 81 440. This is a sample of the
abuses which arise from this practice
If congressman taking occasion TO pub
hsh treatises in this way instead of u.s.
ing their private means for the purpose.
After the maps and stereotype plates
have been made at public expense, the
member who has, like Wheeler, prac-
tically monopolized an edition of the
Record, can procure all the extra
copies he desires at merely nominal
price. The public printer is powerless
to prevent such pernioious practices,
as he has simply to carry out the
orders of congress. No such outrage
upon the privileges OF the house has
been perpetratod by any member rs in
this case of Wheeler's since Delegate
D1wney, of Wyoming, took occasion
three years ago, under leave to print,
to publish 10 the Record q long didac-
tic poem covering page after page Of
the issue.
The public printer still has his hands
full, although congress has adjourned.
One night last week mass of stuh,
written en- all sorts of paper, in every
style, was sent to him from the Star
route trial, which, when printed, made
three hundred aud thirty-one pages
broad octave. The "copy" was COM
posed chiefly of original papers ard
accounts and could not be cat, as it had
to be returned to the files of the post
office department. The testimony had
to be ready, however, the next morn
ing and when the crier called the court
to order the volume of three hundred
and thirty-one pages was upon the
tables of counsel. This manner of
preparing copy saves the cost of aman-
uenses and explains how the official
stenographers make about 81 900 n
month each by the contract from a
generous attorney general. Daring the
lust seventy working days the public
printer has delivered from the office
the vast number Of AZ ia Sl4 copies
of various jobs, counting in congress
sional work aud blank books for the
departments. making an average OF
nearly zoo 600 copies for each day.

The Author of "Home, Sweet Home.''

Ten years ago the Faust Club, OF
Brooklyn, unveiled in Prospect Park a
colossal bust OF Cohn Howard Payne,
which they had presented TO the city.
In his address upon that occasion Mr..
Thomas Kinsela, the president of the
club, expressed tae hope that the dust
of Payne might be deposited in his
native soil and suitable monument
erected above it. This hope is at last.
over thirty years after the poets death,
to be realized, through the liberality OF
w. w. Corcoran, the Washington mil
liouaire, who made provision some
time for the removal of the poets re,
mains in Tunis to a more appropriate
resting place in a cemetery near the
national capital. The author of "Home,
Sweet Home" died at the American
Consulate in Tunis, April lst, 1852, and
was buried in the cemetery there. A
broad marble slab bore an appropriate
inscription, and in the little Protestant
church is a chancel window to his
memory, placed there by few En-
glish-speaking residents OF Tunis, whose
admiration and respect for Payne were
utfluGI anu hlDtGIt. IHt
of the rem aims took place one evening
few weeks ago In the presence OF a
dozen Europeans and several Arab
gentlemen. The body was carried into
the church, while n English gentle
man at the little American-made organ
played the air, and swect-voiced
American lady sang the immortal song
Of the dead poet. A spectator draws
this graphic picture of the scene: Gas
the tender words tremulously hoated
through and filed the holy place,
hearts swelled, eyes were sutiused, and
A charm from the sky seemed to balIow as there.
Tongue cannot tell nor pen describe
the effect of that song under the cir
cumstances stated. The cleaning OF
the coming evening had crept into the
chapel, and the dim religious light
that Payne's poetic temperament could
have understood and absorbed, bathed
all, both living and dead, in its mellow
radience. The twilight went on apace,
and the poor remains we're left 20 lie
there until the next morning, guarded
by the faithful dragoman, who IN life,
az in death, was stanch and faithful 10
the last" Next day the body was put
on board he French steamer bound
for Msrseilles, and from that port it
was taken early in March by vessel
bound to New York.

Top Grating.
Western wis. Farmer.

SO well known and so often described
are the different methods of grating
that it would seem unnecessary to
give the details of this important
work of the season. But strange to
say, not one in one hundred of farm
ers or farmers sons in the west are
familiar with this work, enough to
have reasonable hope of success in it.
This should not be, for the fact is APP
parsnt that immense numbers OF our
fall apples and poor quality of natural
fruits must needs be worked over by
top grating, or be comparatively
worthless. Again, it is fact which is
unpleasantly true, that in this north
west we cannot grow many of the fin
est apples, unless they be top-worked
in some of the more hardy Of their
species, or in the many Sibcrians and
hybrids, which find most congenial
home in the north.
Thus the Grimes Golden Pippin and
Jewett's Fine Red, are apples of high
quality and very successfully top
worked on the Siberians; but quite in
different OF poor on their own roots.
The Carolina Red June is one of the
best for early use, but is far the best
top worked on some more vigorous
and hardy stock. The Ben Davis il
also generally unreliable on its owl
root, while top-workPd on hard!
stock or Siberian it is very hopeful.
The requisites to successful grating
are, lat, Congeniality Of took and ciol5
| %, Vigor, or life, in both cion am
stock; 81, Good wax; 4th, Skilful WORK
and this we place last because it is If
least importance; for, the other poins
secured, the most buDglng work vii
often be n success, where the absenie
of any of the others will as surrey
bring failure.
The apple in all its species can le
worked together, but not all varletbs
do form a good and lasting union. Tie
different varieties of pear work w,ll
together and also some Of them 20
well on the Apple, Ounce, Mountain
Ash and Thorn. These all belong o
the pyrus family, but congepiality dos
not always follow. The Cherry, Plum
and Peach may be made to grow O
tACn OLUtly Duk tdCh cbhbAtS Wv bSt
on that nearly allied, and so with 81
varieties of plants. Vigorous Ptocis
and fresh cions are necessity. In tie
east and south they often cut the cios
the same day they are to be set; bit
in the west cions cut in early wintr
are muchthe safest. However, if tie
cions ar feresh and green inside, viii
we'll formed buds they may be safey
used cut now.
Grating wax may be made in seveal
ways. In old times decomposition mae
of fresh COW manure, hardened WITH
finely powdered clay, was used win
success. Later was used, tallow, bes-
wax and resin, in equal parts, vii
mixed and worked by the hands. We
nave used the following: parts rGn,
2 of beeswsx, and / of tallow, appled
while hot. with a brush, or first sprad
upon cotton cloth, strips Of Which
about one inch wide are then USED to
wrap the graft. We have used boed
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1883-04-05

linseed oil in place of tsllow, which is
as good, if not in excess.
The greatest danger from oils of any
kind, or grease, is that il too soft, the
oil will penetrate and kill the cion.
This is very common cause Of failure
with the best of worSmen. To avoid
this danger, we shield our graft from
the sun and wind by wrapping around
it strip of white paper, which adheres
firmly to the wax, long enough to Sc
cure the end sought. 1t is important
that every cr:vice should be waxed up,
and kept so for most of the season.
Now is the time for general orchard
grating. First the stone fruits and the
crabs, then the apple and pear. Grapes
are best grated after the leaves are we'll
out, and at the root; but the cutting
should be kept dormant.

A Fever Proof Costume.

The British National III ealth Asso
citation has recently given It's sanction
to novel dress intended for the pro-
lection Of sanitary visitors, nurses and
others, who have to enter the rooms
of persons suffering from infectious
diseases. Toe garm ent IL Of mackia-
tosh, glazed inside and out, and made
completely to envelop the wearer, and
with q hood to cover the head. Thus
only the hands and face remain ex-
posed--a matter considered OF com
psratively little importance, as these
can be easily washed with disinfectants.
A not less important object proposed
to he effected by the OF this dress
is that by it's removal when the wesrer
leaves the siek.room the clothes which
have been protected need not be
changed, and the danger Of the disease
being carried from house to house or
communicated to susceptible persons
in public vehicles is obviated. A tight
case for the fever dress to be inclosed
in is BART Of the invention. At the end
of the day, or az often as my be con-
veuient, the dreas can be cleansed with
disinfectante. Further pTote ction is
given By a simple form Of respirator
This il made Of two folds Of thin
washing net, between which il placed
a LAYER Of medicated cottonwood,
through which the wearer can breathe,
though no germs can pass. The res
pirator has tape strings which tie round
The ears. After use the wool is burnt
and the net wa.hed.
