Poe entitled 1.-THE Bells" Miss johnson
was followed by DR.. W. H. Noble who

gun at the February meeting. The lecture
was excellent, by no means disappoint-
ing the anticipatious of those who we're
so fortunate as to hear the first part of
1t at the previous meeting. Mr.. J. L..
Crothers next worked upon the black
board referred problem, concerning
which there appeared quite difference
of opinion among members and no salts
| factory conclusion was arrived at. The
question assigned for discussion was next
taken up. Messrs. Squier and Conway
contended that the question was not de-
batable. Mr.. S. J. Tammany discussed
the question at length, quoting freely
from eminent statesmen of the past hun
dred years in advocacy of public schools.

the oats than where the oats had not been
sown.
Mr.. Carson thought that Mr.. Coudon
could not go far wrong in planting oats
to clear his field of weeds. He thought
very lavorably of oats as feed for grow.
ing stock. He recommended equal quail.
ties in weight of corn and oats, ground,
and fed dry with cut hay.
Mr. Juo W. Mccullough wanted to
kaow how to feed oats to cows?
Mr.. Carson replied equal quantities OF
corn and oats ground together.
Mr. Kitchener corroborated this equa
mixture OF oats and corn ground together
having followed this plan of his father.
as feed for milch COWS. He afterwards
abandoned the oats and substituted bran
but soon found rhe butter was not a.
good. He returned again to coru anc
oats, and is making more butter and o
better quality.
Mr.. Duyckinck stated a different ex
perlence In one case he had used corr
and bran, in equal weights and after
wards fed oats alone, and found his cow
going dry. He went back to corn ant
bran, and then the cows increased t.
their usual quantity and quality of but
ter.
Mr.. Moore said that his experience,
with bran in feeding COWS was exactl,
opposite that of Mr. Kitchener. He hat
usually bought quantity of it for white
feeding for butter making, and his famil,
had always believed their butter the bet
ter for using it. In fact when he had sub
stitutsd oats in several instances, tn
quality of his butter seemed to fall off, a
: least so his household had thought, ant
he believed them right in their opinion

Wintering Northern Bees in Florida


During the past five weeks there has
been several inquiries relative to the bee
keeping industry from individuals i'll sew
eral of the Northern States. There is, or
seems to be, a disposition on the part of
ee-keepers to remove their bees to some
portions of Florida during the winter and
return them to their original location
after securing a crop of honey and sat
islactory increase.
The question is as yet practically un-
settled, though | have been assured by
practical bee keepers in the Northern
States that it can be successfully carried
out. In the immediate vicinity of the
coast country of Volusia county my OBJ
servatiOn would not warrant me in advis-
ing any of my Northern friends to remove
their colonies to this place, though local
tiles further south, in Brevard county
where the Pennyroyal abounds, might
yield satisfactory returns were it not for
the attendant cost of transportation to
reach that favored locality.
May LIST was the time stated that the
colonies were to be returned, which is too
early for either the saw palmetto or the
mangrove, the two main sources of honey
production in this locality.
1t may be possible that direct transpor-
tation can be had to the Pennyroyal dis
trict of the West Coast, or possibly the
great number of bearing orange groves
in the interior of the State would yield
sufficient surplus to bring about the de-
sired result, viz: an early increase of col
onies and a sufficient yield of honey to
pay expenses for the time, trouble and
| transportation. Whether this would off
set the usual losses attendant upon win
tering in the Northern climate | am un-
the necessary capital would give it a sat-
isfactOry trial. The only objectional fea-
ture would be the possible introduction
of foul brood, which to apiarists is to be
dreaded as much as pleuro- pneumonia
of cattle or the hog cholera among swine,
which if once introduced would be impos-
sible to eradicate. Unlike animals, bees
cannot be restricted in their actions, and
the Introduction of honey from diseased
colony will infect an entire apiary in a
very short time For this reason we
should be ecareful how we permit theintrO-
duction of colonies from infected districts,
though with this exception there can be
no valid reasons why we should not en-
courage our Northern friends to winter
| their bees, as we'll as themselves, among
u.s.
There are experienced bee-keepers in va
riOus portions of Orange county, from
whom it would be interesting to hear
their views on this important subject in
! the AGRlCULTURIsT.
Orange growing is one of the leading
industries of Florida, and orange blossom
| honey has already secured a position in
the Northern markets, as we'll as the clo-
yer and bass-woOd product. Who will be
the first to give practical information as
| to the feasibility of transporting bees
from the North to Florida for profitable
wintering, as we'll as honey gathering?

Advice to Immigrants Short of Money

Mr.. Editor, with your permission, have
something to say on this interesting sub
ject, which should be mutual Your ad
vice in the AGRICULTURIsT of October 30tI
is sound, but there are exceptions to al
general rules, and, from my standpoint,
think the Kansas farmer case is one ol
them. He being short of money, the sea.
son late and the winter early up there
would it not be better fol him to save
that time and expense of an extra trip
here, and bring along Instantly, bedding,
clothing, etc. (nO heavy furniture), for it
being principally for his wife's health that
they come? When they get here rent a
cheap house, and while he is looking
around his wife can have the benefit of the
climate; also be here that he could confer
with her about settling, etc., though my
advice would be not to think of buying
until they have been here say a year.
Hire out to a thrifty farmer, grove or
strawberry man. This will support his
family and some over, and at the same
time he is learning how to proceed in
Florida.
This will be worth more to him than he
wages; then if he starts for himself once
he will know how to proceed, and not
stumble blindly along, as many have
done, experimenting with the peculiarities
of Florida soil and climate, which are diff
ferent from that of all other States and
Territories.
Save your money and strength until
you are sure you are right, then go ahead,
cautiously. would think the strawberry
business much preferable to general farm
ing with small means-somewhere on the
new railroad from Macon to Palatka, say
a good point between Lake City and Pa
latka, or about Starke and Lawtey. Also
here about Melrose parties are running
the strawberry business.
Employment might be obtained on some
of the tobacco and pearfarms of Jefferson
or surrounding counties.
New towns will spring up along the
Georgia railroad, and now is good time
to locate there either to invest or work
for wages, merchandise, etc. The same
applies to any other part of the State
with the same circumstances, etc.
In one year he would know how the
climate suited and how to proceed in va
rious other ways l state the above from
practical facts as | see and have expert
enced since hcre-twelve years.
The best advertisement for Florida yet
is to get newcomers so located that they
will make success instead of failure
Cast your minds eye around you and see
if am not stating cause and effect The
state suffers more to-day from the above
effects than all the colds and fevers we
ever had in the State.
Land is very spotted all over the State,
and as in many other States, plenty of
it that is of no account at all except for
stock range, and some very poor for that.
There is plenty of good land, if the new
settler will only take his time and find
out for himself. One not familiar cannot
tell from the surface where there is quick
sand or hard-pan, or what is to be desired
or avoided. He soon learns that after re-
siding here a while. Some of the worst
failures have been made by letting them

 The United States census will be taken next year. The preliminary arrangements are already being made Connecticut has been divided into two districts, the line running west of Hartford and Middlesex counties. In 1880 the population was 622, ,709. The estimated increase in popu- lation, for the decade, as indicated at the census bureau, is about 30 per cent A supervisor will be appointed for each dis trict next year, men who acted as super visors in 1880 being preferred Each supervisor of the census will receive $125, and in addition thereto, in thickly settled districts, $1 for each thousand or more majority fraction of a thousand of the population enumerated in his district, and in sparsely settled districts, S1.40 for each thousand or majority fraction of g thousand of the population enumerated in such district, such sums to be in full com pensation for all services rendered and ex penses incurred by him, except that an allowance for clerk hire may be made at the discretion of the superintendent of census.

The Big C.lirornia Trees.

The California redwood trees grow in . belt. starting just north of here, within f1f- teen miles of the coast, and moro than two from 1t. They need much moisture About six miles from Santa Cruz is a remarkable cluster of them, called par excellence the big trees, though certainly most of the "ordi- nary" red-woods would attract crowds of visitors in the eust But in this particular spot of the forest, among all the rest, about thirty trees of enormous size throw all their comrades into insignfcance. These trees arc all of them more than 12 feet thick and 200 feot high. Ten of them arc more than l5 feet thick and 250 feet high. and half a dozen still more vast, are dignifled by spec lal names, such as the Giant. Jumbo. Gen. Grant, Gen. Fremont, Con. Sherman, etc. The Giant Is the largest of all. though barely so, and is 21 feet thick, 60 feet around and more than 800 high. Their apparent height was to me a trifie disappointing. Sit- uated as they are. in the midst of a tall for est, we could not get far enough away to ap- preciate their elevation above the surround. lng summits.

A Retired Supreme Justloe.

Wm. Strong is often referred to as the most sensible man in Washington. He served ten years on the supreme bench, and then proved wise enough to take advantage of the law that allows him to retire on full pay. He was born on the 9th of May, 1sOS' in Somers, s.Conn. After graduating from Yale he taught for time and studied law. He was admitted to the bar in 1882. He served in congress during several terms running in every election on the Democratic ticket. In 1857 he was appointed justice on the supreme bench of Pennsylvania. and in 1870 he received his commission as 0 mem- ber of the United States supreme court. In 1880 he resigned and has since lived quietly in Washington. featuring occasionally. and performing faithfully the one duty that tho law requires of him. Whenever the supreme court is required to take part in any public ceremonies Judge Strong puts on his robe and walks with them in the procession. In consideration of this and his past services he receives s1o,OOO annually from Uncle Sans treasury. Louisville Courier-Jour- nal.

 Matters have come to light concerning the treatment of patients who have been sent to the hospital in Hartford, after wounds have been dressed by local phy sicians that ought to cause all investiga tion of the irresponsible way that sur geons are allowed to tear open wounds without any reason for doing so and thereby subjecting patients unnecessarily to second painful operation. \ Swede who had his heel torn off in Bristol some weeks ago Was sent to the hospital after Dr Hull had cleansed the wound with an tiseptic and seged it up.

Why the Sky is Blue.

Professor Hartley, of London, has been trying to find out why the sky Is blue. His experiments show that the color arises from the action of ozone upon the rays of light. The result of his exami- nation of ozonixed air go to prove that it through so little as five miles of air without the rays being colored sky-blue by the ozone commonly present and that ''the blue of objects viewed on a clear day at greater distance up to thirty-five or fifty miles must be almost entirely the blueness of ozone in the air." In his laboratory experiments he observed that the quantity of ozone giving full sky-blue in tube only two feet in length Is two and half milligrammes in each square centimeter of sectional area in the tube-Exchanoe
