HIyING BEES.

Some apiarists practice clipping
one wing of each. Then when a
swarm issues from the hive, she can
not follow, but crawls about upon the
ground in front of the hive The
bee-keeper catches, cages, and lays
her aside in the shade, moves the old
hive to a new location, and by the
time the swarm has decided to re-
turn, because it has no queen. he has
a new hive similar disappearance to
the old one, upon the old stand, and
the bees. taking it for their old home.
enter it, and while they are going in,
the queen is allowed to run in with
them. Thus the bees hive them
selves without being allowed to even
cluster. An objection to this meth
cd is, that queens are sometimes lost
in the grass When a swarm of bees
returns it may enter the wrong hive,
and if it makes no mistake in this di
rection, it occasionally clusters all
over the outside Of the hive, and re-
mains there a long time before enter
ing. If the queen is allowed to enter
the hive too soon, She may come out
again, thinking, perhaps, that she has
not 'swarmed and the bees follow
her. There are some indications that
clipped queens are regarded by the
bees with dissatisfaction, and are thus
more liable to be superseded. A
queen that is lost can often be found
by looking for the little knot of bees
that usually accompanies her. If
swarm attempts to enter the wrong
hive. sheet can be thrown over the
hive If a queen is not given to
swarm until the bees begin to show
signs of uneasiness, she is not apt to
leave the hive. When the queen is
unclipped, swarm will usually soon
cluster upon the branch of some tree.
As the cluster begins to form, il
should be noticed whethcrit is in
favorable location for removal. fit
is where several branches cross, some
of them should be cut away with the
knife or pruning shears, leaving but
one branch for the bees to cluster
upon. If the bees are slow in clus-
tering, and more swarms are momen-
tarily expected, their movements can
be FASTENED by sprinkling them with
water, using fountain pump.

The JERSEY CATTLE Boon. The

seems to be to breed for the butter

comparatively cheap, while those
with a record Of fourteen pounds a

value of rations, as a machine for

These tests are made under the SUI
pervision Of the American Jersey

Of such witnesses as secure impartial

And bird-notes break the silence whist.

In coiling gives Of golden gleam

That love had wound with skill supreme
With tangles fast and rendless seam,

II is related in the life OF Sir Ashley
Cooper, the eminent English physician,
, hat he required his coachman to attend
every market day at Smith6eld, and pur-
chae ell the lame young horses that could
be had for seven pounds or less, and
would be likely to repay the trouble and
expense Of oiiecting cure. They were
placed on Sir Astley's farm at Gaelisbridge,
and when the cause OF their lameness was
discovered they were carefully treated,
and with so much success that large num-
bers Of these apparently worthless ami
mails we're permanently cured and sold
for large sums. Sir Ashley himself had
pair for carriage horses, which he kept
for many years, which cost him originally
only twelve pounds ten shillings We
have no doubt that in many cases horses
that seem 10 be broken down and worth
less might be saved to usefulness by Judi
cious treatment, Even broken leg has
been permanently cured by being careful
ly set and splintered. And simple lame
ness, which may have resulted from strain
or harsh treatment. may need only rest,
good fare and suitable applications to re-
duce local inflammation. to restore the AMI
NAL to soundness and vigor. Sir Ashley
Cooper's success in this branch OF surgery
shows what may be done, by well'direc-
ted skill, to save valuable horse from the
crows or the bone factory.
