EXTRACT FROM REPORT OF PRESIDENT

BOARD.
The physical condition of the convicts
for the past two years has, in the main.
been good. quarters fairly comfortable.
clothing sufficient and suitable, End
ratiOns abundant add wholesome. Tie
only work against which. there Guild he
lodged any just ground of complaint Is
that upon the Western North Carolina
Railroad, where the percentage OF deaths
has been larger than with any other
part of the prison population. For the
reason of this l can allege no other
cause than that the rigOrs of our Yves
tern North Carolina winters are too
great for the negro race, from which is
derived nlne-tenths of the force used on
this road. and who are chiefly from the
milder counties of the East. There are
two strong arguments sustaining TINS
theory: First, the mortality among tie
negroes is prOportionately greatly III
excess of whites. who have exactly the
same quarters, fare and general treat
ment; and second, while the force upon
the Western North Carolina road is
picked men. ''able-bOdied" in the words
of the contract of sale, and those upon
the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley are
rejected men," and while the quarters
upon the former are perhaps better-as
nearly perfect as al be devised. and
the %ratlons, of meat especially, some
what larger, the mortality is nearly
double. 1t is a matter that has given
the Board great concern. and | bring it

ITALIAN HONEY BEEs.-L. L. Lang
stroth. noted honey producer, and
author Of standard work on bees,
after a number Of years experience
with Italian bees, arrives at the fol-
lowing conclusions
They are more prolific, keep their
broods more compactly in the combs,
and their swarms are usually earlier
and larger than those Of the black
bees.
The Italians defend their hives
against robber bees, whether Of their
own breed or others.
They gather larger stores Of honey.
In many apiaries the amount Of honey
has been doubled by the introduction
Of the Italian bees.
They are more watchfnl of their
comb, and consequently less damage
is done by moths.
They are less irritable than the
black bees, but viii sting when once
angered.
They work freely upon pasture taaI
other bees would shun, or al mosi
work spariDgly.
