The statement made in Mr.. Wise's speech
in reply to Mr.. Boutelle's, that Nh. Lyons
was discharged from the Norfolk Navy Yard
for "beastly intoxication," is denied by Mr..
Lyons's friends. The statement that wound
ed ex-Union soldier had been removed from
the Portsmouth postoffce is false, as the
man served out his term and served in the
Quartermaster's Department and was not
wounded. The statement that no loyal in
scriptions have been removed from the NAVY
Yard is not true, as historical record on the
engine Of the dry dock has been obliterated
since March (. These three statements are
practically the whole of the speech.

1t seems to be generally acknowledged that
the arguments of the representatives of the
fishermen have made very deep impression
upon the committee on foreign affairs, and
that several gifts members who were inclin-
ed at first to favor some new trade with
Canada have been converted to the fisher
mems view of the matter, that Canada can
give us no privileges at all commensurate
with the price we should have to pay for
them. One of the strongest arguments
against any new arrangement is the fact
that every American fisherman opposes such
a thing and every Canadian fisherman favors
it.
That Irish Home Rule is just demand is

London Spectator came out with an article,
which is now famous, reproaching the
United States and holding us up to the
worlds scorn, because, though rolling in
wealth, we did nothing for the oppressed
nationalities of Europe. Ireland is an "op-
pressed nationality of Europe" A grand
opportunity for refutimg the above charge IS
offered.

THE ENEMIES OF THE HIVE.
Humboldt, Tenn.
Home and Farm.

Only the weak colonies perish. A
good colony is not as subject to the
depredations Of the moth, nor are
the hives attacked by enemies that
take advantage ofthe inability of the
bees to protect themselves, as are the
weak swarms. Should a colony be
weak, it's greatest enemy will be a
stronger colony, which robs the
weaker one. This robbery is not
done maliciously, as some suppose,
but it is a precaution on the part of
the bees to protect themselves. The
strong colony desires the weaker one
to unite with it, which the latter
resists, and force is resorted to in
order to carry out the design. A
combat is the result, the weaker col
ony is beaten, and it's members sub
nit and assist in removing it's stores
into the possession Of the stronger
colony, the weaker one being adopted
and absorbed by the other. When
the supply of honey is short, rob-
berry Cor a desire to unite) will newt
ably be the result. The bees in the
hives will invariably get rid of all
encumbrance as soon as they become
satisfied that their supply for winter
is short. Miniature broods will be
found around the entrances in the
morning, the drones will be killed,
and every Improbable member de-
stroyed. The bee keeper should
then give them all the honey they
will need. 3 .4s

RYE O STOCK.

Many farmers have adopted the
practice of sowing rye in the fall tor
early spring pasture. If sown early
and quite thick it will have made rank
growth by the time winter sets IN:
we have known cattle to be turned
into this kind of pasture on mild
days in midwinter, but do not advise
it as it is apt to make stock FESTIVE.
But after the weather becomes set
tied in the early spring, before grass
is sufficiently advanced, it is an
excellent substitute and goes a long
ways towards making up for a short
hay crop. The milk is increased in
richness very materially, but there
is one point that must be carefully
guarded against in this respect, VIZ:
To keep the milk from retaining the
rye flavor, which is similar to garlic.
There need be no trouble, however,
in this respect if stock are accus-
toned to it gradually; a short time
for the first day, and oon after they
are MIXED, increasing the period
daily. A very good plan is to have
two different lots sown to rye, so
that when one lot is eaten off they
can be turned on the other; the first
plot in the meantime being allowed
to grow up again. Rye pasture is
also much used by sheep growers,
and is certainly a very cheap and de-
sirable method Of feeding. Where
early lambs are fattened for the
Eastern markets, rye pasture is a
very important feature, as it stimu-
lates the milk-secreting organs Of
the ewes, enabling them to keep
their lambs in a growing and thirty
ing condition. Excellent hay has
been made of green rye by allowing
it to grow up after having been eaten
off several times. Successive crop
ping makes the straw very fine, and
when thus made into hay makes a
capital substitute for timothy

derous outlook should be kept upon
the horn-worm, but after the first Of
August the entire crop must be
wormed over once a week, using
whatever extra help is needed for
the purpose, or otherwise the planter
is overcropped. 1t is much easier
to destroy the worm while it is very
young, for then it is always to be
found near the hole it has made in
the leaf. But if it is neglected in it's
youth and allowed to grow until it
begins to change its position upon
the plant, it is harder to catch, and
it then becomes important to know
something of it's habits in order to
hunt it successfully. Thus it will be
found that in hot weather, except
when cloudy, it feeds during the
cooler part of the day, and can be
best caught in the afternoon.-R. b.
Daris, of Cdtdacba County.

OF FOOD.

According to the careful estimates
of those who have experimental
for the purpose, it requires about 2!
per cent. of the weight of an animal
to maintain vitality in the shape Of
motion. In other words, an animal
is continually losing flesh, and we
must first prevent the loss of weight
before anything can be expected in
the shape of grain. If the loss is q
per cent. it is plain that a proportion
of food which provides only for that
loss will simply keep the animal in
the same condition it has been, and
though not losing flesh it will not
increase. But in estimating the p
per cent. we must pay some atten-
ton to the kind of food. An animal
may have really an excess of food,
and yet not gain in weight. For
instance it may have food rich in
fat, and poor in albumoids, and
though the whole may contain over
2! per cent, yet the lack of the
albumoids may cause the animal to
become debilitated and not capable
Of digesting and assimilating the
whole. 1t is only when the ration
is properly balanced hat food can
be fed in the most economical man
ner. Any excess Of n ingredient
and corresponding loss of another
will fail to accomplish the results
desired. 1t will therefore pay the
farmer to feed intelligently, and not
place his food before stock simply
to fill them, without regard to their
requirements. And when this fact
is impressed upon farmers they will
find a profit in feeding all kinds of
provender.-Fdrm, Field and Stock

CURING TOBACCO IN THE SUN.

After tobacco is cut and hung on
the sticks. it is taken into the house
or shed and hung up, the plants not
being crowded on the sticks nor the
sticks crowded so closely as to pre-
vent the free circulation of the air.
If the weather is warm, the leaf will
soon become yellow; then there is
no danger ofsun-burning. Take the
tobacco out and hang on scatfold
where the sun will have full play on
it all day. At night when the dew
has fallen sufficient to bring the leaf
in order to prevent breaking, you
must hang in the shed, and hang
out on the scatfold in the morning
again, or if there is no appearance
Of rain, any light covering may be
thrown W it and let hang on scat
fold. Tobacco will cure as quickly
in the sun as by fire, if the sun is
hot, say in August or September. AS
soon as the leaf and stem of leaf are
cured, strip off and tie in hands or
bundles of six or seven leaves each,
and hang on sticks again. Now
there is not much bother in han
ding. besides, the main stalk is out
of the way, which, if left with the leaf
hanging, will cause great damage to
the leaf, as the green sap left in the
stalk runs out through the main
seam or fibre of the leaf, by which
the color and taste of the tobacco
are ruined. Be careful to let your
tobacco get yellow in the shade, or
it will sun-burn and be ruined. After
it is yellowed, then the more heat
the better. After the tobacco is
thoroughly cured, let it get soft by
moist atmosphere, then crowd up
the sticks on the tier-poles as tight
possible, to prevent it from COM
ing and going in order with every
little rain. By this means a bright
or piebald tobacco may be
cured by fire in open barns.
If you want merely to air-cure,
hang in the barn SO that no plants
touch, insuring complete ventilation;
open all the doors and let it alone;
but you must expect no bright
colored tobacco cured in this way.
For farmers in the South who
want to raise only enough tobacco
for their own use, | recommend the
plan of s%un-curing. My experince
is, that when cured in the sun, as
the tobacco has but little bit
ter to the taste, but is rather sweet,

ing boots pliable and excluding
