FARMERS COLUMN
Sea- Weed as a Manure.

10 the shore towns and in the districts
penetrated by tide water streams and coves,
sea-weeds Of various kinds are much used
for fertilzDg the land. There is a great
| differance in the character and value Of
this marine vegetation, the most valuable
coming from rocky shores and deep waters,
and the less valuable from the the flats and
bays, where fresh water mingles with the
tides. The Eel-grass (Zostcra marina),
which is not true alga, or sea-wraok grows
abundantly both in shoal, brackish water
and in the sea, but II is the least valuable
Of sea weeds. The Rock-weed (Fucus
vssiculosus) takes lie common name from
its strong attachment to rocks and boulders
that are found on many parts of the coast
The Ribbon weed (Laminsria), also called
Kelp, and the "mosses," SO beautifully
colored, grow in much deeper water, and
are considered the best OF all for dressing
the land. These weeds are torn up from
the bottom by the storms in winter and
spring, and borne by the tides and winds
10 immense quantities to the shores, where
they are stranded within reach of the farm
er's teams.
The value set upon this fertilizer differs
very much IN the localities where il is
within easy reach. In some places the
beaches are leased, and tho wrack is care.
fully gathered and removed seasonsbly to
the yards, or to the fields where il is TO be
plowed in. In other districts all that lodges
below high-water mark is free to the first
conner, and is removed in boats and soows.
1t just pays for gathering. Large quantities
Of il are taken from the shores of islands
and sold in the neighboring parts, at from
one to two dollars a ton. The analysis OF
the ash of these weeds shows a large per
cent Of potash, and it is found to be very
valuable fertilizer for the potato and the
turnip, and other root crops. In tho vii.
lagos, where the weed is landed and offered
Tor sale, there is an increasing demand for
it for use in village gardens, as well as upon
the farms lying back in the country Elk or
seven miles Mixed with the mud taken
from shallow coyes, when it is gathered
with rakes in scows, il make good absorb
ent for COW yard and pig sty. It is some
times used as top dressing for grass land
but this must be attended with considerable
loss of ammonia as it decays rapidly. The
most economical use Of it is to spread il
broadcast upon land that is to be immedi-
ately plowed for corn or potatoes, or other
main creps.-CoNYEoTIcuT in An. Agr,cul

HiYinP Bees.

Some apiarists practice clipping one wing
Of each queen. Then when a swarm issues
from the hiye, she canuoL follow but crawls
about upon the ground in front ofthe hive.
The bee-keeper catches, cages, and laws her
aside in the shade, moves the old hiye to a
new'lOcation and by the time the swarm has
decided to return, because il has no queen
he has new hive similar in appearance to
the old one, upon The old stand, and the
bees, take 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 themselves without being allowed
to even cluster. An objection 10 this method
s, that qIeens are sometimes lost in the
grass. When q swarm of bees returns, il
may enter the wrong hive, and il it makes
no mistake in this direction, il occasionally
clusters all oyer the outside of the hive and
remains there long time before entering.
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 indi-
cations that clipped queens are regarded by
the bees with dissatisfaction, and are thus
more liable 10 be superseded A queen that
is lost can often be found by looking for
the little knot of bees that usually accom-
panes her. Ifa swarm attempts TO enter
the wrong hive sheet can be thrown oyer
the hive. Ifa queen is not given to a swarm
until the bees begin to show signs of uueasi-
ness she is not apt to leave the hive When
the queen is unclippei,s % swarm will usually
soon cluster upon the branch Of some tree,
As the cluster begins TO FORM it should be
noticed whether it is in q favorable location
Tor removal. 1t it is where several branches
cross, some of them should be cut away
with knife or pruning shears, leaving but
me branch for the bees TO cluster upon. If
the bees are slow in clustering, and more
swarms are momentarily expected, their
movements can be hastened by sprinklng
them with water, using fountain pump

Dr. George F. Shrady has prepared an
article which appeared in the Medical Rec
ord Saturday. 1t is enti led The Surgical
and Path Logical Aspects OF Gen. Grants
Case" In the course OF the article DR..
Shrady says: The cause of the disease
in this case is largely conjectural. Epith-
elioma, as a rule, starts from local irrita-
ton, and, unlike other forms Of cancer, is
not dependent upon hereditary predispo-
sition to the disease. There must, how
ever, aside from this, be latent tendency
toward cancerous troubles, which is more
pronounced in some individuals than in
Others, otherwise We should be unable to
explain why simple and continued irrita-
ton would induce the disease in one case
and not in another. 1t is, however, quite
probable that the irritation of smoking
was the active cause Of the cancer in Gen.
Grants case, or, at least, it is fair to pre-
sumo that he would not have had the dis
ease if this habit had not been carried to
excess This assumption is made in the
face of The fact that of The thousands who
smoke but very small proportion suffer
from the disease.
