Bee Culture.

This is an enterprise in which some
of the citizens of Columbus are taking
quite An interest. Among such we
may name Messrs. Speice, Reimer,
Routson and Mrs. j. n. Heater. Mr..
Speice, it appears, is the best fixed for
handling the bees and honey. The
strain of bees being handled by these
parties is, as a rule, Italian. II is re-
marksble the amount of honey there
is in this vicinity. 1t is singular that
while the bee keepers of the eastern
part of the state are trying TO intro
duce the Rocky Mountain bee plant
into their fields and pastures, here l
find il growing on the vacant lots
about the city. Then here is growing
the golden rod in abundance, the
ssters of many varieties, which make
fall flowers bearing nectar in abund-
snce In another year the citizens of
Columbus may expect that the parties
| have mentioned, can supply them
with all the honey they can use, gath
cred by the little workers from the
fields and gardens about their homes.

: The Democrat is excessive

The Democrat is excessively
smart in saying that ''after the COM
missioners had ordered separate
tickets printed for the county, for
township organization, it was q gross
blunder on the part of somebody, to
have the same printed or the regular
republican tickets" So far as we can
ascertain there was no more Law
recurring the commissioners TO print
those tickets and pay for them than
there was to print the party tickets
for Judge, treasurer, etc, and pay for
them. Neither was there any pcoyis-
ion OF law, that we know OF, requiring
q separate ballot. The proposition
needed a majority of all the voters at
the election, voting in the sfhrms-
tive, in order 10 become law. AL
that was necessary, therefore, for a
man with a republican ticket in his
hand, was I o vote it, if he wished the
proposition to carry, or to scratch
"For township organization" if he
wished to oppose it. The democratic
managers need not take any particu-
lar pains to account for the fact that
the proposition was not on their
ticket in any shape, the people are
able, without their aid, to draw the
inevitable conclusion.

More new features have been intro

the last twelve months than in any
other paper published in this country.
Retaining all the old specislties and
departments, the publishers have sd-
ded illustrated biographical sketches
Of persons prominently before the
public At date of publication; illus
rrated articles On important historical
and current events, or in calculation
of antiquarian research, or interesting
engineering and mechanical problems I;
cable letters from London covering
the field of European news for each
week special contributions devoted
10 "reminiscences of army and polit-
icsl life; and new series of articles
given up largely to personal gossip
and recollections of prominent lit
erary people.
The Inter Ocean will remain IN
compromisingly Republican; will
maintain its present attitude on the
question of protecting American in
dustries +; will continue 10 devote spe-
cisl attention to trade, transportation,
and economic questions, will retain
the departments Of The Curiosity

Raising Colts.

No one will doubt that it is a pleas
ant thing 10 see nice young stock of
any kind grow up on the farm. 1t is
especially so in regard to colts. Ii
they are 8 little mischievous they gen.
orally are playful and sffectionste and
therefore mostly great pets with the
family. Besides, when they grow up
and make fine horses it is with special
pride that one save: 1--WE have rails
ed that one ourselves" Moreover,
such an animal may save the buying
of one, or may, if sold, bring a nice
little sum, and thus if kept or sold is
worth something considerable. So
far, so good.
Now, Mr.Editor, your writer knows
that reading only thus far "Tom, Dick
sad Harry" will excIaim: That's
so, I'm going to get me 8 span OF
mares and raise colts" But let them
read a little further on and consider
the other side of the question. The
JOURNAL is not a one-sided sheet, out
is printed or both sides, and it has,
ever since the writer, who is an old
reader of il, always tried TO look at
matters from all sides, and thus pre-
SEM them to its many readers fairly
and squarely. So with this colt ques.
ton. Let the JOURNAL tell tom,
Dick and Harry" and all the rest OF
them something of the other side.
To begin with, not all mares are good
breeding a. Some will not breed
at all, and many are poor breeders, or
poor nurses, or hesrtless mothers
Not so with ows. They mostly all
breed ; ewes will bring from one TO
three lambs, and sows may bring even
a bakers doZen--the writer owns
some that brought thirteen at q time
each. But many mares may be bred
and not 8 single colt obtained. And
if one is gotten it is very questionable
whether ii can be raised. How many
die the very first few days of their
lives? How many are accidentally
hurt, MANNED or even killed, So
after all the trouble in breeding the
mare, after all the care during preg-
nancy, after all the coaching when
she comes in, after all the loss of time
and work you have nothing, Bul
supposing you get q colt and raise il :
"A calf You may sell when a few days
old and have the milk of the COW
good hogs may make from 100 to 4OO
los. OF pork at six or ten months old,
but with the colt you will have &c
wait about four or five years from
breeding time till you can hitch up OIL
sell it. Meanwhile, it may have cos,
all it is worth or even q great dea.
more. For these reasons, Mr.. Editor
to which many more might be added
your writer does not consider it prof
liable and therefore not advisable for
, the average farmer to raise colts, AM
even if there is one here and ther,
who has got good uccess or GOOD
luck in that line, they sre surely onl,
exceptions to the general rule.
