G. w. Dayton, of Bradford, Iowa,
writes to the d3acgicGn Bee Journal:
Early in the season of 1883, as soon as
the young bees began to play freely be-
fore the hives on sanshiny days, ] noticed
on the ground before one hive that
there remained q large number of bees
that did not get back into the hive At
this time there were bees scattered
about two or three rods from the hive,
but not more than three or four in any
one place. About the middle Of the
Summer superseded the queen in that
colony and this in due time ended all
peculiar actions Of the bees until the
next spring, when found another colo
nv in the same attitude, except that the
bees, when they remained ont, did not
scatter themselves over SO much ground,
but remained nearer the hive, and when
night came they huddled together in the
hollOws in the ground. some of which
hollows contained quart or more of
dead bees that had accumulated there
in the course of q week or less. The
queen in this colony remained fln-
changed, and last spring THAT of 1851
two colonies of this kind were found,
both of which are now in winter quar-
ters. The affected bees appear to be
just as well developed as any bees, but
they run from the hive generally hold
ing one wing ont Of place, as II 1t had
been broken or bent out of shape. The
bees do not seem 10 die because Of af-
fiction. but from exhaustion Or the chill
Of the night Notwithstanding the great
loss Of bees from these colonies. the

The old telegraphcr was talking as
volubly as ever, and he told this story
about the late Gen. Ans0n Stager, which
was new to me: Away hack in tho
early days." he said, '.when the print
ing machines were gradually going out.
as operators gradually learned to read
by sound, Gen. Stager, not then 4 gerr
eral, was division superintendent on a
western telegraph line, with headquar-
ters at Cleveland. At an office farther
west, say Indianapolis, was an unusual
bright and expert operator, who had
just one fault. .-he would get drunk. He
was very rapid sender for those days
and an extremely good receiver by
sound, even for these days. But, as
say, he would get drunk. and once
drunk he was useless for DAYS The
chief operator at Indianapolis had COM
planned of him 10 Stager, who had
threatened him with dismissal if he got
drunk again, and yet he was drunk
again. The chief operator telegraphed
the sad fact to Stager and Stager re-
piled: Call me up when Jones comes
in; j want to talk to him. SO when
Jones got sober and came into the In
dianapolis Office the chief operator told
him to call up Stager at Cleveland, who
wanted to speak to him. So Jones
called up the Cleveland telegraph
office and asked the operator to tell
Stager that he was awaiting what he
had to say at the indianapolis end Of
the line. In few minutes Stager took
the Cleveland key and clicked over the
wire to Jones: j told you if you got
drunk again would discharge you.
You have been drunk for three days.
What have you to say for yourselfP'
Now Jones knew that he had just one
chance. Stager was learning to receive
bv sound, and he wanted ii thought that
he had learned. But Jones happened
to know that Stagcr could only read by
sound messages that were very slowly
sent. He knew that there were other
operators in the room with Stager ut
Cleveland, and he calculated that Stager
would be equally unwilIingeither to ask
in their presence that message that
he could not read be repeated or to ask
them to assist him to read it. So Jones
pounded away at his key as rapidly as
he could for three minutes, sending off
of course, an absurd cock-and-bull
story, not one word of which did Stager
catch until Jones slowed down and
wound up with: And that's the way it
all happened Instantly Stager re-
sponded: Very well. You may stay,
but don't do it again. - Igsilalel lpsiG

Various devices arc employed in CEN
tral New York for training hops. Form
erly two poles to hill were almost ex-
clusively used, but since poles have be-
come more scarce, various substitutes
have been used. Ono arrangement
uses stakes about seven feet long. over
ythe top of which strings are run each
way of the row. This plan has not been
received very favOrably, rs the hop vine
prefers climbing up. instead of climbing
horizontally. Various and complex
methods of using twinc have been gotten
up and patented. but they have pretty
generally proved insufficient. The sina-
pie system of using one pole to the hill.
and twine running obliquely from the
bottom of one pole to the top of the
next, and so on, by the test of time,
seems to stand ahead, and is. | believe,
the cheapest, most practical and best
way to grow hops to-day.
A new method of training hops enl-
ploys large poles aiia. wire. and does
away with the common hop pole entire-
". These large poles are to stay in the
ground the year round. They are PLACID
at about every fifth hill, and for good
results should be twenty, or at least
eighteen feet above ground; but they are
often used less. A wire Is stretched on
the top of these poles over each row. to
which twine Is fastened from each hill
Stakes are driven in the ground at each
hill to tic the twine to. It is better
when these stakes are about four feet
long, but they may be only long enough
to tie to. The wire rests in hook. and
when the hops are harvested it is let
down. There is no patent ON this. and
it is rather cheaper than poles. How
ever. some serious objections are urged
against it, The strings are liable to
break from the wire, and the vines
killed by whipping in the wind. But /
believe If good, strong twine Is used, the
wire is stretched tight. and stakes four
feet long are used ut the bottom, there
will be little trouble. j. w. +. speaks
of fence stakes to run the wire over.
These would not answer at all, as the
wire must be up high to give the hop
plenty of runway, or the yield will bo
materially reduced.
When the vines arrive Mt sufficient
length, those which are intended to
grow are Immediately selected and tied
TO the pole about Which they are 10
twine. The rest are carefully trimmed
off, The vine should always be kepts
closely twining, as it grows much faster
when it has something to cling TO. All
the season, up to harvest time. or wlcm
the growth becomes so dense as to pre-
vent it, the ground between tho rows
should be kept mellow, with cultivator
or plow; and hoeing occurs about three
times--frst, in early spring; second,
when the unnecessary vines are trimmed
of, and lastly, just before blossoming.
when some growers make a practice Of
hilling up their hops, which docs not
accord with my notion, and which i
fast going ont Of practice. Cor. IN the

/ have heard another good story Of
the venerable Leonard Bacon, whose
memory seems to grow greater every
year. DIR. Bacon, even in the hight Of
his distinction as preacher, loved the
gentle pastime of angling. and one Of his
bosom friends with an affection in the
same direction was New Haven ply
sician. One day the couple journcyed
over the hills somewhere back in the
country and tossed their hooks into the
water. 1t was poor day for fishing.
Not trout did they land, as they waited
and watched, blisterilg in the sun.
Finally, after good many weary hours
had passed, both lines were suddenly
jerked at once aud both poles nearly g0t
away from their owners. But when in
another moment up the lines were
lifted no fish upon either-a look Of
disgust was upon two countenances.
'sWell, that does beat ANYTHING / ever
saw, said the medical man; Il had q
d. good bite. DR. Bacon hesitated
