Care OF the Bees.

The eighth bulletin of the monthly series
issued by the agricultural college required by
law is Nv Prof. Cook, on "Nintcring Bees.
The winter losses of the apary are the most
serious obstacles 10 successful bec-keeping.
The terrible cold winters, during which from
fifty 10 100 per cent OF the bees In the Northern
states arc lost, may he expected about once In
three years according To past experience.
Prof Cook thinks that with full knowledge
and equal care the loss may be wholly prevent
ed. The requisites TO success in wintering
are: Enough good food uniform temperature
, without the hives Of about fortv-hve degrees
food may be- either honey or canes sugar syrup.
ANY kind OF honey wholesome and palatablc
Ia the taste will do. Bees should not 90 into
the winter with less than thirty pounds OF food.
which will suffice from September 20 the fol
lowing harvest The temperature should not
fall below thirty eight degrees nor rise above
furty-seven degrees during the winter. From
the experiments Of many years Prof Cook
thinks that the cellar wintering Is far prefer
able In this climate 10 packing or all methods
Other methods may succeed; this, with proper
care, surely will.
For cover, cloth, with a filing Of fine chat
or fine dry sawdust, serves well. He prefers
q factory cloth over the bees and a burlaps
sack full Of dry saw-dust still above the cloth
The method Of procedure at the college apiary
Is given. As soon as frost stops storing six or
eight frames are placed where they arc desired
for winter These should be nearly full of
honey Place short stick above the center
OF the frames 50 that the cloth can not fit too
closely. This permits the bees to pass over.
As soon a the brood is all Matched remove all
other frames and pack well above and beside
the bees. II we are to pack out doors, do ii
now. From the LIST 10 the 18th OF November
before severe weather, place the bees in the
cellar, Upcu the entrances and remove the
covers, but do not remove the cloth or the bur.
laps sack. II they are In poor cellar and
become diarrhctic, IL is best 10 remove them
for few hours some warm day when they
can fly out for cleansing flight. and then re-
turn them 10 The cellar. We should not re-
move the bee, finally from the cellar till they
can go to work in the spring, which in central
Michigan is not before the 10th or 18th Of
April. In the spring when the bees are placed
on tlt" stands. on warm, quiet day we would
clean all the hives out thoroughly and remove
frames Of ,omb, and move up the division
board 80 that all the frames left WILDE coy
cred with bees. We should also cover above
and protect AT the sides with ample packing
As the bees increase more frames should be
added, and a soon rs the bees cansprotect the
brood the weaker may be strengthened by
capped brood from the stronger. Such has been
the practice al the college, and we have not
been troubled by loss from "spring dwindlingu
Prof. Cool, is sauguine that II the suggestions
contained in the bulletin are needed, winter
losses viii much less yey our northern bee
keepers.

Fer Prote ton OF Settlers.

IL Is stated at the Land Office that under the
present practice OF that Office when public

through the filing Of plats OF survey there was
a rush of spectators and land grabbers, who
often succeeded In securing the best lands, TO
the great injury Of bona fide settlers. More

EXECUTIVE MANSION, October %, 1856.
For nearly eight months a large share Of the

hearing OF applications for Office and the de-

Poor Lorne.

The marquis of Lone attempted Ia address
a meeting Of the electors al Brantford few
DAYS since In the interests Of the Liberals, but
he had hardly begun speaking when the crowd,
wi ose sympathes were strongly with the Con
servatlyes began % assail him with rotten
eggs and subject him % all sorts OF indignities.
Some of the more daring Of the crowd clam
bered on the Platform hustled the marquis IN
a lively manner and ended 10y smashing his
hat The demonstration was so threatening
that the marquis sought safety in flight
Though a heavy rain storm prevailed he ala
not wait for his carriage, but ran all the way
to the railway station,a bowling mob pursuing
him meanwhile and pelting him with all sorts
OF missiles. Arriving at the station he oppor-
tunely caught train for London, or he might
have received more serious injury. His po-
litical opponents next turned their attention
to his supporters, many OF whom were severe
~ handled. They then took possession Of the
platform and passed resolutions condemning
the Liberal party in strong terms. Brantford
is in the heart OF strong Conservative dis-
triCt
