Stock IN Orchards.

1t is bad plan to allow cattle, sheep or
horses to run In an orchard during the win
ter; for small trees, unless well protected
by stakes, are almost certain to be killed,
and large ones injured by horses and cattle
eating of the the limbs, and sheep taking
the bark from trunks.
The injury arising from the limbs being
broken while frozen Is greater than most
farmers suppose 1t to be. 1t will be found
by examination the following summer that
they have died above where the injury was
first made.
Nature b as provided for trees winter
covering of grass and leaves as protec-
tion to those roots which run near the sur.
face. Horses and sheep gnaw the ground
bare, entirely removing this shield and the
tree is retarded in Its growth or is killed
outright by the severe action Of the frost.
It Is advocated by some farmers that
sheep are benefit to the orchard IN sum-
mer, that they prevent injury from the cod
ling moth. This may be true, but there
can be nothing gained BY allowing stock OF
any kind to run In the orchard during win
ter.

HOtU q Cell t. FYlled Nth HO7sey

DIR. c. Spencer says in Indiana Farmer
In my observatory hive one cell was built
against the glass, and that afforded an ex-
cellent opportunity Of seeing how bees de-
post honey in the cell. First, bee depos-
tied thin coating Of honey upon the base
Of the cell, making sort of varnish, as it
were, to the base Of the cell. The next
bee that came with honey, raised up the
lower edge Of this film of honey and forced
its honey beneath; the next bee did the
same, and this film acted as kind of dia-
phragm, keeping the honey 10 the cell.
When the cell Is full enough to be sealed,
the bees commence contracting the opening
With wax, until there is only small hole
left in the centre, when they appear to take
one little fake of wax and put 1t down
over the opening. At any time during the
process Of filling the cell, the honey could
be Withdrawn with hypodermic syringe,
and the "diaphragm" left hanging In the
cell,

1t Is lamentable that there are so many
men who abuse, In one way or another,
their dumb animals, and, too, against their

cases the inhuman treatment may be altrlb-

er men, but perfect tyrants over the brutes.
They whip their horses, and beat their cat
tie, and kick everything right and left
around the barn that does get out Of the
way.
This conduct NAV be partly from habit
aud partly from not realizing the suscepti-
olity of the beast to sutf.r pain. The in
human practice of Msusing and maltreat-
ing beasts cannot be too highly condemned
for it is absolute wickedness, and 10 all
cases attended with loss.
There are also those who abuse their
beasts In a different and milder mode,
through thoughtlessness, 10 such ways as
working horses with had dtiiug collars end
CALLING their shoulders, using check reins
drawn so tight that the head and neck are
held for hours In an unnatural position.
There are thousands OF horses tormented

practiced sticking hogs 10 such q way that
life would continue for half an hour or
more, so that the animal would walk round

shudder at this barbarous treatment, will
allow their cows and other animals to lie

to Dowton telling him that 1900

they had contrived to secure every seat
in the house, while a mob without still

Dowton appeared upon the stage there
