About the Queen Bee.

There is an impression prevailing
among tue uninitiated that the queen
of a hive leads off the swarm, but,
with first issues at least, it is seldom
that the queen comes forth from the
hive until the greater part of the bees
are on the wing. Another erroneous
idea in existence is that the queen bee
is the first to alight upon a branch or
bush and that the bees congregate
about her. but the reverse of this is a
fact. When a swarm begins to issue,
if the bee keeper will place himself ON
the shady side of the hive, and watch
the stream of bees which pour forth
like an army through a gateway, he
may see the queen come out, and II in
clined 20 prove our assertions he may
capture and cage her, and put her in
his pocket while he watches the pro-
ceedings of the bees. When the
throng is circling in the air he may
imagine that the bees are searching
for her, and will conclude that az they
cannot find her they will return to the
hive but no, they will congregate
near convenient tree or bush, and
make great noise sufficient to attract
the attention of her majesty if she
were abroad, and then they will alight
and form a cluster and wait for some
minutes, to give her an opportunity OF
joining them. If now she be taken to
them, she will join the mass and all
will be well If not. the bees after a
short time will disperse and return TO
the hive. -t

AT the late annual meeting of the
Northeastern Beekeepers Association,
the charge that bees injure grapes was
discussed with some feeling. Two
bills have been introduced in the Cal
ifornia Legislature to forbid the keep
ing of bees because of the damage
they are said TO do to the ripening
grapes. The Northeastern beekeepers
were unanimous in the opinion that
honey bees never puncture the skin
of the grape, though they frequent the
vines to suck the juice of grapes al
ready injured by birds or other insects.
This it was claimed, has been demon
strated by careful tests. Black ants
are the chief mischief makers. That
bees do not puncture grapes, may be
SO, but that they do great deal Of
damage TO the fruit by feeding on it
cannot be denied. The writer has
noticed bees last summer hunting over
peaches on tree to discover where n
flaw might be, that they might com
mence on. Whether or no. they first
punc,ured peaches he could not dc.
eide, but it is certain that they speed
lily rendered worthless much fine fruit.
Some of the peaches were so covered
with bees that they had to be shaken
off before the fruit could be gathered
Bees should not be kept where fruit
growing is an object, as they do much
damage to the crops.

Girls on the Farm.

A great deal has been said and writ
ten concerning the rights of farmers
boys but nothing about the girls. 1t is
a common thing Tor farmers to pay
their sons fair wages for their work
yet the daughters do not receive dol
lar from month to month. Why should
this difference exist between the farm
ers girl and the boy The former is
quite as much entitled to reward for
services as the latter. In truth, the
farmers girl is frequently the more val.
ue of the two. She is expected in
many cases TO rise very early, get
breakfast, clean up the house and pre-
pare the other meals required through
the day, or if not, to at least largely
aid in all these household duties. In
addition she is looked upon by father,
mother and brother to entertain com.
pany-to act the hostess, at least as
creditable cecond to the mother and
while she may be the pride of the fam
lily, and regarded as "a sort of privi
legged character, yet much is expected
from her in ten thousand smaller fea-
lures of home life. Why, then, should
she not be encouraged with at least as
much pay as the boy In addition TO
that, the farm louse should be made as
attractive as possible-with piano,
plenty of books, newspapers and pic
lures cultivate taste in the girls for
flowers, etc. These features, with a
moderate amouct of work, should pro
duce happy and contented farm life.

Barbed Wire Fences.


There is no class of people who are
subject to so much annoyance, and we
may add damage to their property, as
the farmer. Everybody acts as if
they thought his premises a public
park or commons to be trespassed
upon at pleasure and when they are
made to understand that the crops of
the farmer belong to him, and that it
is by these crops, secured by the sweat
of his brow, he makes his living and
provides for his family in the future
he is denounced for his meanness, and
treated as if he himself were doing
some unlawful act. But he knows his
rights and will defend them to the
best of his ability, and among the diff
ferent methods at his command to
establish them is the use of the barbed
wire fence. Hunters object to this
way of protecting his premises against
trespassers more decidedly than any
body else but it is very easy for
proper persons to get permission from
the owner to hunt upon his lands if he
has no objection to their doing so; but
on the contrary, if he wishes to pre-
serve his game for his own use, the
barbed fence is the best means ever
devised for the purpose. A CORE
spondent of Forest and Stream, Mr..
Albert Donnell, of Biddeford, Maine,
in replying to another correspondent,
who denounces this fence on this very
ground, gives expression to these sen
sible views
although l am neither landowner
nor hunter, there are one or two points
which l desire to make on this sub
ject. First, know from varied and
extensive experience in the West, that
plain wire fence even though it has
rail or. pole at the top, is not by any
means as effectual fence as is the
barbed wire fence. Cattle soon learn
to crawl through plain wire fence, and
the wires cannot be strained tight
enough to prevent this. Second, the
barbed wire fence is not, on the whole,
much if any more dangerous than
fences of other kinds In the neigh
uOTuOOu WHclS lehluIu III tllc w tSl,
the only cattle which were ever to my
knowledge permanently injured by
wire fences, were injured by plain wire
fences, and l have known many more
injuries resulting from board aud rail
fences and from stone walls, than from
wire fences of any kind Third, it is
noticeable that the opposition to the
barbed wire fences comes not from the
owners of the fences, but from philan,
thropists who have more pity for
breechy cattle than for hard working
farmers, and from gentlemen of rod
and gun, many of whom have a deci-
ded proclivity for securing premises
where they are not wanted
In little while longer the barbed
wire fence will become so popular as to
be generally preferred to all Others, on
the grounds stated and many persons
who were originally opposed to it bit
terly, doubtless from what they con,
sidered to be the best of reasons, will
be surprised that they should have
been so short-sighted, and will be
among the strongest advocates of it

The Sweet Potato.


Growing sweet potato plants for the
more northern section of the coun.
try has developed into quite o busnes,
and in all our large towns and cities
the hot.houses are largely devoted to
raising sprouts and slips They are
started about the first of April, and
their growth will largely depend upon
the condition of the soil and the quail
ty of the seed planted The forcing beds
are thoroughly enriched with fertilizers,
so as to insure rapid growth that will
enable the grower to put the plants on
the market from the 18th of May to
the lst of June.
The way to plant is rs follows Cut
the potato length wise, and put pieces,
cut side down, close together, in the
drill previously made, and cover to a
depth of two or three inches. The soil
will need watering with tepid water
every few days, so that there will be
moisture enough for the sprouts to
start and gov but too much water
must be avoided, or the potato will rot
In few weeks, if the potatoes planted
were fresh, and not dried and shrivel.
led up, the sprouts will begin to show
through the soil, and in due time COM
mence to grow more or less rapidly
according to the richness of the soil
and the care given them. If they are
slow in growing, little phosphate or
guano dissolved in water may be sprin
kled on them, but care should be taken
not to put too much, since it is liable
to burn the leaves. Very often the
grower hurries his plants along so fast
that they become too large before the
proper time for planting. One should
lock out for this, as medium sized
plants are best, and should be selected
Many of our farmers at the north pur-
chase every year from five hundred to
one thousand plants, so as to raise
enough potatoes "for their own use"
Usually we would select light, sandy
soil, well enriched, and the fertilizers
thoroughly mixed with the soil. The
plants are set in rows three feet apart,
and two feet in the rows, so that cul
tivator can run between and loosen
up the soil. Hoe the young plants, but
do not disturb the running vines too
much after they begin to cover the
ground 1t is best, however, to stop
their taking root too much, as it makes
smaller potatoes in the hill but when
the vines are lifted, care should be
taken not to break kthem where they
have taken root
We have grown sweet potatoes sew
eral years with varying success some
years they would be large and sweet,
and another season they would be
small and soggy. Still, we would ad-
wise any one interested in them to make
the trial with hundred plants or SO,
and the experiment will be novel and
interesting to one who has never grown
them, while he may succeed in raising
good crop of "Sweets." For north
ern cultivation, the Early Golden has
been found more productive and valua-
BILE than later maturing varieties

How TO TELL THAT EGGS ARE Coop
We give for what it is worth the fol
lowing from an exchange, on the way
to tell good eggs from bad ones:
A good egg will sink in water.
a boiled egg which is done will dry
quickly on the shell when taken from
the kettle.
After an egg has laid day or more
the shell comes off easily when boiled.
A fresh egg has lime-like surface
to its shell.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth of
shell.
Eggs which have been packed in
lime look strained and show the ac-
tion of the lime on the surface.
Eggs packed in bran for a long
time smell and taste musty.
With the aid of the hands, a piece
of paper rolled in funnel-shape and
held toward the light, the human eye
can look through an egg, shell and
all.
If an egg is clear and golden in ap
pearance, when held to the light, it is
good if dark or spotted, it is bad.
The badness of an egg can some,
times be told by shaking near the
holders ear, but the test is a danger
ous one.
Thin shells are caused by lack Of
gravel, etc, among the hens laying
eggs.
Many devices have been tested to keep
eggs fresh, but the less time an egg is
kept the better for the egg and the one
that eats it.

A Bridge Two Miles Long.

Vanderbilt's new railroad is to con-
uect with the Lebanon Valley road at
Harrisburg, near the round house. The
plan OF the bridge over the Susque-
hanna exhibits a continuous elevation
from a point south of the Northern
Central railway TO the point at the
round house, where it will connect with
the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
of what can be called continuous
bridge about two miles long The
first abutment will be south Of the
Northern Central railway tracks, the
second at the Cumberland shore of the
river, whence the bridge will be carried
by series of piers to the Harrisburg
shore of the river whore third
abutment viii be erected, from which
the track will pass at an elevation high
enough to clear the Pennsylvania rail
road tracks, canal and Paxton creek, TO
the point on the Reading railroad
named, the grade between the point on
the Cumberland side of che river and
the round house being not more than
one foot TO the mile
