A Singular Instance.

The Calvert Journal tells the fol-
lowing bee-story A schooner one
day last week, while near Cove Point
and James Point 10 the Chesapeake
Bay, bound for Solomon's Island,
was beset by swarm of bees. They
swarmed on the Jack or 6y' at the
top mast head of the schooner, and
remained in that position until the
boat reached Solomon's Island, a dis
lance of ten miles. The Captain
made the attempt TO bive them when
be reached the Island, but the bees
had grown 50 weak that they fell 10
the water and were lost.

Keep up With the Times.

A systematic course of reading dur.
ing the Winter months, with view
to putting points suggested to the
test the coming Spring and Sum
mer, is an excellent course to pursue.
Experiments upon the farm are to
be encouraged to a certain extent.
There are old ruts i'll which the
fathers have trod for generations
that are good, but they are not al
ways the best, and there will be
found many practical suggestion in
some of the modern agricultural
works, and of course in agricultural
press, which will pay one to adapt
next season, in an experimental
way at least If farmers would Oc-
cnpy part of their leisure time
during the cold weather in making
a special study of modern and i'm
proved methods, it would be highly
beneficial to them, provided they
are not now so welded to old fogy-
ism that they cannot be turned
from the error of their ways.
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1886-02-17
Heat and Vegetation.

The heat found in the soil is not
all received by the rays of the sun
and which is known to exist at the
centre of the earth but there is go.
ing on a decay of organic matter
which, in porous soils containing
large vegetable remains, evolves a
considerable amount of heat. Decay
however, cannot proceed rapidly
until the external temperature has
risen to a degree favorable to vege-
tation; and the heat which the
earth has within itself escapes so
rapidly that the surface would
be frozen were it not for external
influence. 1t seems safe to say,
therefore, that the warmth of the
soil, so far as it favors the farmer,
depends exclusively upon the heat
OF the sun. There is a greater diff
ference among soils i'll their power
of retaining heat. A sandy soil
cools much more rapidly than one
having a gravelly surface, from the
principle that the greater the weight
or the larger and denser the par.i-
cles of soils, the slower will be the
process of cooling. Gravelly soils
are consequently well adapted for
growing those crops that are espec-
ally liable to fall of ripening in cold
situations.

Remedy for Wounded Trees:

Rev. Thomas Hill, of Portland
contribute the following to the
Advertiser:
Having been for fifty years an in
terested observer of tree-llte, and
having had for more than half OF
those years the direct oversight and
responsibility for hundreds of or
namental trees, venture to offer Il
few remarks upon our present
calamity. .
A tree growing upon a dry knoll
or in poor gravel may be killed BY
injuries which would not affect one
growing in rich moist land. For ex-
ample: If rich earth he filled III
around tree in moist land, the tree
throws out additional roots and
fiourishes; but dry land that treat
nent Injuries the tree, slowly but
surely, year after year. Limbs
sawn off IA tree in rich moist land
do no visible harm such wounds
in dry poor land weaken the tree,
and gradually kill it.
In some parts of our city the
trees were too closely planted II
in such places they have been badly
broken by the ice storm, it will be
well to take out part of them. Those
that are left will throw out new
shoots and, in most Instances, will
recover their beauty in two or three
years. But, after four or five years,
those which are in dry situations
will begin to grow sickly, and their
tops will die off, and the trees be-
come more unsightly than ever. For
this there is, however, a SIMPLE rem
edy, and my main object in these
remarks is to testify, emphatically,
to its efficacy. Wherever a limb is
lost or bark removed, the barred
wood, whether cut or not, must be
covered with waterproof (but inno-
cent? coating. Paints and varnish-
es are not innocent, even if water
proof; oil-cloth, tin, clay, under can
vas, &C., are not waterproof. First
of all, let the wound be trimmed
smooth by hand saw; then, before
the sap begins to run freely in the
spring, apply with a brush, pretty
hot, the following composition

Receipts.

PRESERVED APPLES.-Pare and core
twelve large apples; cut each into eighths
make syrup of one pound of sugar anC
one-half pint of water. and boil; put In
as much apple as can be cooked without
breaking; remove them carefully wheI
tender; after all are done, add to the
liquid one cup of sugar and boil ten min
utes slowly; flavor with lemon, and pour
over the apples, or CRATE nutmeg on them
instead.
EGGs.-When you are tired of plain
boiled or fried eggs try this way of serv
ing them for breakfast: Butter pie
plate and cover the bottom with fine
bread crumbs, then break eggs enough
for your family and drop them on the
plate and cover with a layer of bread
crumbs: sprinkle pepper and salt over
this and put some little Jumps of butter
over it. Bake in quick oven for min
utes.
ORANGE SNow.-Orange snow Is delic-
ious when prepared after the following
method: An ounce Of isinglass Is dis
solved in a pint Of boiling water. 1t is
then TO be strained and allowed to stand
until II Is nearly cold. Now mix with 1t
the Juice of sig or seven oranges and one

Two wears of Thorough cultivation

Two years of thorough cultivation
will be needed to subdue tough
sod so as to fit it for seeding with
clover And under most circum-
stances such land should not be
kept under cultivation more than
two years with out seeding. In
killing out old grass roots in
heavy sod great amount OF plant
food is made available, and this will
be wasted by washing OF rains and
SHOWS if clover is not sown to retain
it. Near cities land may be too
valuable to seed to clover every two
or three years, but this is not the
location where old sod land is gen
orally found. No matter how high
the price of land, an occasional re-
seeding with clover and grass Will
restore fertility as nothing else Will.
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1886-02-17
Management Of Heavy Sod Land.

The popular idea about an old
sod is that it is necessarily rich. II
the old sod is subject to overflow,
or has not been so heavily pastured
as to prevent it from thickening up,
this estimate of fertility may prove
correct. But any one who expects
immediate results fiom it will very
probably be disappointed. 1t is
only the most enduring grasses
that survive in an old pasture, and
when the field is plOwed tire ensues
a struggle for life that battles the
best efforts of the farmer to repress.
The common blue glass is cousin to
quack, and though it be turned to
the bottom of the furrow, its thread
like roots will send up shoots to the
surface, and unless vigorously cul-
tivated the field will soon be as
before blowing.
Wherever possible, an old sod
should be plowed in the Fall, SO
that part of the decomposition of its
roots may occur in Winter while
they are dormant. The heavy soil
turned up will be worked by frost
into fine filth by Springtime. And
if this has been done in the Fall
there is q further advantage in top
dressing with manure, which will
thus fertilize the seed bed instead
Of being buried at the bottom of a
furrow. There is no danger that
this extra surface fertility will made
grass roots grow more vigorously,
The surface-sown weeds will indeed
b stronger for it, but they are cas-
ily kept down. Tho dscomposing
manure viii furnish heat and help
70 rot the soA moro quickly than 4
lothsewise would.
