Numbered with other queries Of gen
cral interest sent out among leading
aparian, all over the country, by the cdi-
tor of The American Bee journal, was
the following;
"ln winjrriug bees outdoors, would it
be better to- have the apary on the south
side of Il hill facing south, where the hives
get plenty of sunshine; or on the north
side Of hill facing north. and no sun
shine, a. some have coutcndcd"
In the tWcuty-one replies received all,
excepting one, favored the southern slope
and the sunshine. j. u. H. Brown said:
81 prefer the apiary on the north side of n
hill in II warm climate, and on the south
side in a cold climate G.. w. Damarce
replied; Il would prefer a southeastern
slope to any apary ground. But l have
had my apiary on four sites in the past,
differing widely from each other, and |
have really seen but little difference as to
the results.n The editor Of The Bee
Journal concludes the replies with the
following advice: "In the northern lati-
tude, place the bees on the south side of
the hill. In the south some prefer the
hives to face the north, hut all desire them
to have as much sunshine as possible"

however, attaining size at the expense Of

however attaining size at the expense of
quality. Watermclons, cantaleups and
sweet potatoes grown for fine quality
flourish best on a loan Of about GO per
cent. of very fine sand and 40 per cent. of
clay.
Plant cantaleups early, five feet apart
each way Make the first planting on
one side of the hill; a week later plant the
other side, and when well up thin to
three of the best plants in the hill. For
watcrmcons furrow eight feet apart each
way, and proceed in all respects as above,
and cultivate until the vines meet. Sifted
coal ashes gives the best satisfaction in
preventing the attacks of the melon bug.
In arranging dates for planting vegeta'
bles for II succession, it should be noted
as the season advances and becomes
warmer that peas, and in fact all kinds of
vegetables grow faster and overtake one
another The date for planting the diff
ferent sorts does not lead to correspond
ing intervals in gathering the crops For
instance though five days difference in
date Of planting peas in April will make
about as many days difference in the
time of harvesting in June, yet five days
difference in planting in May will make
hardly any visible difference in ripcning
in july.

increase in cattle is nearly , l2 per cent,
comparing closely with the advance in

upward of 100000 The aggregate

being smaller by about $G4, O00, 600. The

FARM AND GARDEN.
A CONVENIENT AND SAFE DEVICE
FOR HOLDING A BULL.

Southern Exposure and sunshine for Bees.
Live Stock Statistics-The Market Gar
dener's Radish-Au About Hotbeds.
Safe Device for Handling IA Bull.
In this progressive age most farmers
grow some of their plants under glass,
and in this manner keep apace with the
regular market gardener. The con
struction and management of hOtbeds is
comparatively simple matter after one has
had some practical experience in this di-
rection. Manure beds are the sort often
est used, and horse droppings is the pre-
ferred manure.
There are two methods in use now by
gardeners in forming the manure bed,
some digging pit and sinking the
manure into it, and others building the
manure up into square bed and setting
the frame on it. The first method re-
quircs the most labor and the second the
most manure, hence in making n choice
of methods one must let labor versus
manure decide the matter. The first plan
issthe one most generally employed, and
therefore is familiar, having been often
explained. The cut here given shows n
perspective view of a bed constructed on
the manure without pit, and described
by Isaac +. lillnghast, of La Plume, Pa,
in his "plaut Mauual,n along with other
instructive matter of general and wide
spread interest
