A good Baptist clergyman of Bergen, n,
Y, strong temperance man, suffered with
kidney trouble, neuralgia and dizziness al
most TO blindness, over two years after he
was advised that Hop Bitters would cure
him, because he was afraid Of and preju-
diced against the word "bitters.' Since
his cure he says none need fear but trust
in Hop Bitters.

Qmeen bees.

From the London journal of Horticulture
Last September a correspondent of
this journal wrote that one of his colo
MES lost its queen when the combs
were half filled with honey, brood and
eggs. He removed the frame of honey
and gave them a frame of empty comb
in its place. The hive was examined
four or five days later, when there
were found several queen cells on the
empty sheet of comb. AS it con-
tanned no eggs when placed in the
hive, he saw that the bees had taken
them from one comb to another.
Eight qneen cells were erected and
filled on the empty sheet. He adds ::
"There can be no mistake about this,
for | took the empty frame from my
honeymoon, where it had been laid
for six or seven weeks. If more evil
dence be wanted 1t may be found in
the fact that in many instances
might say in all instances of breeding
in supers-the bees first prepare in
the cells for the reception of eggs :;
and experienced men on examining
supers can tell where the eggs will be
deposited. Bees are the masters and
determine these matters themselves
without consulting queen Or queen-ex-
cluders. 1t will be well for be0-keepers
to remember these facts"

The Southern Cow pea an the
North.

huIhl hDTIu
They have been experimenting with
the COW pea at New Y ork Agricultural
Experiment Station, with the hope
that it may take the place of clover as
forage plant and fertilizer. If they
can make q success, 1t will in time be
extensively cultivated in the Middle
and some of the Western States, since
this crop comes to maturity in less
than three months from planting,
while clover sown in March does not
mature until a year from tire follow
ing summer-fifteen months or more.
The New Orleans Pieayune believes
the field pea Of the south may be
much more valuable than clover at the
north. Southern farmers are slow in
securing the full benefits which the
pea crop might bestow upon them. 1t
is no experiment on Southern farms.
Its virtues are known and acknowl-
edged by all good farmers, and it
ought to be everywhere planted for
stock and hogs, and should become
the great renovator of worn out and
poor land, and should also be used as
the sugar planters are using it on the
rich alluvial lands of Louisiana, to
make rich lands produce larger and
better paying crops. AS cheap hu-
mus to build up exhausted soils, and
make them rich SO long as this is
used, in all coming time, there is
nothing equal to the COW pea. 1t
may convert southern farms into mines
of wealth.

The Farmers heritage,

There is a quiet about the life of a
farmer, and the hope of serene old
age, that no other business or pro-
fession can promise. A professional
is doomed TO feel sometimes that his
powers are waning. He will see
younger men pass him in the race of
life. lie will be last where he once
was first. But the farmer goes, as it
we're, in partnership with nature.
There is no constant or frightful strain
upon his mind. Ht watches the focks
and herds as they feed upon the sunny
slopes. He hears the pleasant rain
falling upon thesEasing corn, and the
trees he planted in bis youth rustic
above him as be plants others for
his childFen's children.

The mode Of breaking steers prac,
tieed in Kentucky is thus described
Where the establishment is a large
one, and there are some to be broken
in every year, the fixture and practice
here recommended would seem to be
eligible and iudicious: g Get strong
post, eight feet long by two thick /;
plant il three and half feet in the
ground, well rammed round or level
the top of the post and leave pin to
it, or make a mortice and insert a
strong two inch pin of tough wood
in it, perpeRdieularly at the top, six
or eight inches long. Then get q
tough saplIng 25 feet long measure
off at the small end of it the usual
length Of yoke, and bore the holes
for your bows. Then bore three holes,
or more if you choose, four, eight and
twelve feet from the other end of the
sapling, of the size of the pin in the
top of the post, giving the shortest
lever first, draw your steers up, let
them be yoBng or old, gentle or wild,
it makes no difference yoke them to
the end of the pole; but instead of
tying their tails together, if yon wish
to avoid bob-tailed oxen, tie their
loins together with a good rope, wrap
up their head halters, clear the front,
and let them go; round and round
they will 90 with a rush drunk
drunken, still they grow, until groan-
ing, down they drop. For while
they lie painting and looking wild
then leap as if suddenly frightened,
rush round and round again, grow
drunk and drop again. Leave them,
they viii repeat the experiment, until,
reeiipg, they will stop or stand. Ina
few hours you may lead them around
by their halters. Uncouple them from
.he pole, or yoke them to your cart,
and drive them where You please with |
safety.

A Feminine Defender of TO-

An advocate of the use of tobacco
in support of his stand unearths an
article written by Margaret, Duchess
of Newcastle, some two hundred years
ago. In defense of the seductive
weed that lady wrote: alt com
poses the mind, it busies the thoughts,
it attracts all outward objects to the
minds view, it settles and retents the
senses, it cheers the understanding,
strengthens the Judgment, spies ont
errors, it exasperates fOIlies, it heats
ambition, it comforts sorrow, it
abates passion, it excites 10 noble ac-
tons, it digests conceptions, it creates
fancies, it quickens wit, and it makes
reason pleader and truth judge in all
disputes or controversies between
right and wrong"

To remove bolts that have rusted,
without breaking them, the most
cifectnal remedy known is the liberal
application of petroleum. Care, must
be taken that the rusted parts are
reached BY it, and some time must be
allowed to give it a chance to soften
the layer of rust before any attempts
are made to remove the bolt.

The Irish AgiIalOr's KBrOther


John II. Parnell, brother of the
famous Irish leader of that name,
owns the largest peach farm in the
world. 1t is situated about six miles
below West Point. There are 1885,
900 peach trees in it, besides a large
number of other kinds of fruit trees.
They cover 700 acres. Mr. Parnell
has planted 500 acres of young trees
this year, and reports his business a
paying one. This years crop will be
tolerably good, Notwithstanding the
freezes.

Good farming gives to each soil
and crop its proper title. The stiffest
and poorest soils require the greatest
amount Of tillage, yet even light soils
are rarely over cultivated. Much
blowing and pulverizing Of a naturally
light soil will not make it moore loose
and open, but have the contrary effect,
making its natural porousness less,
aDd,.its density greater It's, Of course,
possible to have soil too loose, since
it must have certain consistency to
retain moisture and support plants.
by narrowing the light land when il
il still damp, and by heavy rolling as
il becomes drier, the necessary degree
Of firmEessmay always be obtained.

The Germantown pa. Telegraph
does not know how lime can be used
with results than in the renovation Of
old pastures. Lining meadows or old
pasture lands with, say, thirty bushels
to the acre, has an effect upon the
condition of the crop of grass that
few farmers would believe without
giving it trial.

What Free Trnde Means.


We think free trade would ruin
many of our leading industries, and
give Great Britain control of our
market, at least for a long time to
come-too long for the present gen
Grafton to reap any benefit from the
alleged advantages to ensue from the
adoption of free trade. Protection is
our national policy, and under it every
mill, furnace and factory in the land
has been built and maintained. Every
thing is adjusted to this system, and
its abolition would necessarily cause
complete decentralization.
