Edinburg, Va.

The time Is near at hand august 9th)
when those persons who shall have failed
by that time to redeem their property,
which was sold about two years ago for
delinquent taxes, will forfeit it.
1t seems that the law in regard to the
sale of this property is either very defec-
tive, or was made for the express benefit
of few not very scrupulous persons in
every community, who are anxious to get
possession Of their neighbours property,
under the sanction of the law, for a great
deal less than ITS value.
The County Treasurer advertises this
property to be sold at public sale, and yet
in many instances it is not sold publicly
az advertised. To persons who have a
secret and unworthy motive in view 1t is
frequently sold privately, either before or
on tho day of sale it is not put up at
auction at all; no record whatever is kept
of the purchaser, and, therefore, the per-
son who is interested in redeeming it, and
who il really anxious to do so, finds it
impossible, because he has no way OF as
ccrtaning the name Of the purchaser.
In quite number of instances the per-
son who bought the property, in this Sc
cret and undetermined manner, has actual
" denied to the party who was trying to
redeem it, that he had purchased IL, and
the probability is that quite number OF
persons, most Of them rery poor. will be
cheated out Of their houses and homes by
these inscriptions characters A man
who will deliberately plan and carry out
such line Of conduct "a this, is not any
more honest than the law makes him and,
therefore, not honest at all. Indeed 1t IL
question whether he is not a premedi-
tated rascal, and in some instances very
little better than common thief.

We are Informed by residents of differ
ent sections Of the county, living along
and in the mountains, that rattlesnakes
and copperheads are more numerous this
summer than for many years past, and
large numbers of these pestiferous reptiles
have been killed. Mr.. Jacob Miller Of
this place, killed very large RATHER on
the road in the mountains while hauling
bark few days ago. It had thirteen rat
ties and a button, and was as vicious as a
defeated candidate. His dog stirred it up
in the bushes when it ran into the road
and prepared for battle, but Jake proved
too much for it and brought In its rattles
as a trophy. Our much respected old
friend, Mr.. Henry Kerns informed us that
a number had been killed in his section,
one Of them having been beheaded by bis
mower while they we're cutting grass in
one Of his fields.

THE APIARlST.
About Swarninr

Mr.. A. H. Duff. an Ohio bee keeper,
contributes to City and Country the fol-
lowing thoughts on swarming, which we
excerpt for the benefit of our readers as
follows:
Excessive swarming is very detri-
mental to the crops of surplus honey,
and to produce the best results
IN surplus, swarming must be
controlled to quite an extent.
10 place colony in the best possible
condition for strong honey, is placing
it in condition to swarm also. The
pcrquisites some colonies have for
swarming is often very perplexing, and
every manner of persuasion will finally
wear out with them. We have found
that if colonies are III trst-class condi-
ton, or very strong in numbers at the
opening of the honey flow, they are near
ing the swarming point, and we can
gain pounds by allowing q division, or
first swarm to issue. Too many bees
can be kept in one hive to make it profit
able, but, of course, We have reference
only to powerful colonies, and would
not wish to convey the idea that any
profit can be obtained from weak
colonies. Strong colonies is the road,
and the only road, leading to large
honey crops.
One of the most important points i'll
securing large crops of honey is to give
abundance of room for the bees to store
it This is also one of the best prevent
ives of swarming. In the Italians and
the other new races, however this is not
a decided preventive. but has some effect.
But IT this fails, and the preparation is
commenced (Which is the construction of
queen-cells), We can postpone it by re-
moving the queen-cells. This may be
followed up just as long as it will pro-
dnce the desired effect. This will often
times wear out, and the swarm. being
tired OF this kind of treatment, will come
forth, leaving behind no trace of queen
cells whatever. There is but one remedy
left, provided we wish them to OCCUPY
the hive as formerly. This is to take
their queen away from them, and put
them back again as before. This com
pels them to remain until young Queens
are reared, which will require eight or
ten days.
Queenless colonies may for a time do
we'll, but certain destruction is sure to
follow IT they are not provided with the
same In due time. If a colony in the act
OF storing surplus should swarm. and
the swarm hived to itself, the surplus
receptacles should follow the swarm. as
they. can be brought to the condition of
storing much sooner than the parent
colony from which they issued.
All second or after swarms are a fail
ure Ii surplus honey is the object. After
sWarms may be prevented bv remoyino
all queen-cells but one, or, What is
pettef remove all and introduce fertile
queen, OF which asupply should always
oe on Aad Tor such emergencies,
