Enlarged and Printed in Nev TIME.
Since 1873, when, under the editorial
management Of Mrs. Mary Mapes DODGE,
the publication of 81. Nicholas for Togn1
Folks was begun, it has led all magazines
for girls and boys. Nothing like it was
known before, and to-day, as the Inter
Ocean recently said, 'It is the model and
IDEAL juvenile magazine of the world, .
Through its pages the greatest writers of
our OF time are speaking to the youth of
America and England, and the best artists
and enSravers are training the eyes of the
boys aud girls to appreciate the highest
in art. Nobody knows how mahy readers
81. Nicholas has. In the third largest pub
lie library in America-that in Indianapo-
lis-more than 1000 people read each
months number.
Since the first issue Mrs. Dodge has re-
manned as editor. Early in its history
other young peoples magazines, "Our
Young Folks" "The Lite CorporaL1
Riverside" etc, were consolidated with
II, and its history has been one of growth
from the first. Ie%nnyson, BRYANT. Lopp-
fellow, Whittier, Miss Alcott, Mrs. Burn
EFT, Charles Dudley Warner. w. ID. How.
ellis, and almost every ll-known writer
of our time have contributed TO Its pages.
There is only one way in which its con-
ductors can make it better, and that is by
making more Of it, aud so they announce
that with the beginning of the seven
teeuth volume November, 1881 81. Mich
slas will be enlarged by tie addition of
eight, and sometimes sixteen extra pages
In each number. This enlargement Is
absolutely required to make room for the
rich store of new material which has been
secured for the benefit of 81. Nicholas
readers. The use of new and clearer
type will be begun with the Novembe,
number.
During the coming year there are to be
four important serial stories by four we'll
known American authors. Athletics and
outdoors sports will be a special feature,
contributed by Water Camp, Of Yale
aud Others aud there will be stories of
character aud adventure, sketches of in
formation and travel, outdoor papers. ar
ticles of special literary interest, suggest
i've talks on natural history, other seien-
titic subjects, and the march of events.
Both the December aud January numbers
are to be holiday issues.
The price will be the same as hereto
fore, $500 a year, p cents a number,
and all dealers aud the publishers CTHE

found in them something that they felt
they wanted. May be they are only
good for grit. May be that gravel and
broken crockery and splintered glass
are just rs good, but somehow they don't
seem to banker after these articles as
do after ground oyster shells. II grit is
all they want they have choice in the
kind of grit, and they show that choice
when the oyster shells are put before
them. We think it is wise to furnish
the hens what their appetites demand,
what their systems crave. We think the
poultrymen who do this will not fall
into any very serious error
The World does not properly UNDER
stand our position. We have not con-
demned oyster shells, or recommended
their abandonment. Our position is
simply this-that oyster shells are not
necessary to provide lime for egg shells
and we have shown that fact by giving
the compositions of foods. AS to the
trade in oyster shells being brisk" etc.,
it is not logic. Fowls will eat anything
II educated to it. That they don't seem
to hanter after broken crockery, ETC.. as
for shells" we deny emphatically. That
shells will do no harm is true. That
they are cheap is true. That they will
be used is also true. But that they are
necessary needs confirmation. In some
sections the hens never see q piece of
she'll. That they prefer sharp pieces of
she'll and will not eat shell meal, (the
most available form is also true. Be-
cause shells are used, that hens eat
them, that poultrymen don't seem to
have read the articles" and that the
! shell trade is brisk" does not prove or
disprove anything.

THE Af,lARY.
Bee Notes.

The apiarist who locates his hives or
near where there are nothing but large
tall trees will have considerable trouble
hiving natural swarms. Some parties
have lost nearly every new swarm i'll such
localities.
BEEKEEPERs who have been somewhat
discouraged during the past season now
see that it nays to stick. The man with
no grit missed it, rs usual, by abandoning
the business at the wrong time. Bee
keeping is fully us renumerative and
more interesting than most of the lines
of business requiring the same capital
and efforts.
The increased trade highly pleased us
each Of the past seasons, but, after pre-
pairing an unusually large stock with the
determination of not getting behind
with orders, imagine our establishment
when the demand run up to over 100, 600
sections per week right along and other
goods in proportion. However we learn
that we handled the great rush of orders
quite satisfactorily. While our retail
trade is SO extensive we also supply a
before.
The larger amount of honey they con-
tain the greater the danger of the combs
breaking down from intense heat. The
bees often leave the interior of the hive
almost-entirely and cluster outside, as
much to save their combs from being
melted as to escape the heat. Few
things are more destructive than when a
comb falls and the honey flowing on the
bottom boards closes the entrance and
prevents ventilation thus raising the
temperature and melting other combs

Care of Kerosene. La,nps,

The portion OF the wick which is in
the oil reservoir should be enclosed in
tube Of thin sheet metal, open at the
bottom; or in cylinder of fine wire
gauze, such as is used in miners safety
lamps (twenty- eight meshes to the inch).
The oil reservoir should be of metal,
rather than of china or glass.
The oil reservoir should have no feed
ing place nor opening other than the
opening into which the upper part of
the lamp is screwed.
Every lamp should have a proper ex-
tinguishing apparatus.
Every lamp should have a broad and
heavy base.
Wicks should be soft, not too tightly
plated.
Wicks should be dried at the fire be-
fore being put into the lamps.
Wicks should be only just long
enough to reach the bottom of the oil
reservoir.
Wicks should be SO wide that they
quite fill the wick holder without hav-
ing to be squeezed into it.
Wicks should be soaked with oil be-
fore being lit.
The reservoir should be quite filled
with oil every time before using the
lamp.
The lamp should be kept thoroughly
clean, all oil should be carefully wiped
off, and all charred wick and dirt re-
moved before lighting.
When the lamp is lit the wick should
be at first turned down, and then slowly
raised.
Lamps which have no extinguishing
apparatus should be put out as follows:
The wick should be turned down until
there is only small Pickering flame.
and sharp puff of breath should then
be sent across the top of the chimney,
but not down it.
Cans or bottles used for oil should be
free from water and dirt, and should be
kept thoroughly closed.-Good House.

THE DAIRY.
Skim Cheese.


In commenting upon the recent action
OF the New York State Dalrymen's Assoc
cation, when they resolved that it is the
sense of the New York State Dairymen's
Association, that Congress enact law
with the proper penalties for the infrac-
ton thereof, requiring all cheese made
from milk from which any portion of
the cream has been taken to be branded
as skim cheese, and to be sold as such,
Hords DdiyymGn says:
The State of Wisconsin already has
such law, on its statute book; and we
think that cheese makers have pretty
generally provided themselves with
brands, to enable them to obey the law;
its truth, that when n box with the skim
cheese brand on it has left the State,
that before it is put upon the market in
other States that the brand is scraped
off.
IF the law was National it would be q
protection to retail dealers who buy of
Jobbers; but protection to consumers is
what is needed; and to get that, we see
but one way aside from letting every
body judge of cheese as they do of
cloth, learn to give correct judgment or
suffer; unless it be to compel the dealer
to put the article in wrapper that
guarantees quality; have legal stand
ard for the fat, the chief valuable ele-
ment in it; the same as some States and
cities have for milk, and then subject
the article sold to test. the same as is
done with salt, milk, or kerosene oil.
IF we touch this business Mt all, SO as
to try toshield consumers against fraud,
We opine we shall have to 90 to the core
of the matter, and have Dairy and Food
Commissioners who will go for the
thieves with very sharp legal sticks"
The interests of each State are SO de-
pendent upon those of each of the
others and all are SO closely associated
and interested in each other, that it
seems almost useless to try to make any
law that is of real benefit or help unless
it is made National. And why should it
not be so? Are We not sisterhood or
family of States? What is for the
greatest good to all ought to be what
each should seek. We favor National
legislation in this skim cheese" busi-
ness, as in the matter of farmers insti-
tutes and all kindred subjects.
