THE APIARY,
When to Buy Bees.

To one who is thinking of purchasing
their first hive of bees, the question
often arises, shall buy in the fall or
in the spring."
Mrs. L. Harrison, who has had much
experience in the apairy, writing to an
exchange, says that if bees are purchased
in the fall, there cannot possibly be any
profit in the investment, except they can
be sold at an advance, until the follow
ing summer, and the risks are large
Veterans, who have grown old in the
service, often lose many colonies during
the winter. The seasons are SO variable,
and we have not the gift of knowing
whether the coming winter will be very
cold, moderate. or mild; if We had, we
could advise more wisely.

THE POULTEREIs.
Chickens vs.. EerS.

The question often arises, which pays
the best to raise, chickens or eggs for
the general market? This cannot be
answered satisfactorily unless an account
is kept and comparison made for q
series of years. Our own experience
1--WE are within twenty five miles of Chi
cago), is that it pays better to raise eggs
than to raise chickens, as we have no in
tubator. At farmers meeting held in
Boston some weeks ago, Mr.. w, H. Rudd,
who lives near that city, said that it paid
him better to raise chickens for market
than it did to raise eggs, and gave the
figures to prove it. He employs nothing
but artificial means for Matching. In
hatch half of the eggs and to raise
80 per cent. of the chicks. In other
words: when the eggs were worth 40
cents dozen by the case it costs 81 cents
to hatch each chicken which arrived at
marketable age, but it reached one and
one half pounds April LIST, when it read
lily brought 40 cents per pound, neither
drawn nor headed. As the entire cost
of Matching and feeding did not exceed
% cents. the profit on each chicken (say-
ing nothing about cost of incubators
and brooders) was IS cents.
TO recapitulate: Our 100 eggs were
worth SS.33; we Matched fifty chickens
and raised forty of them at a cost of
$6.G7, making total cost of $40. The
total receipts from forty chicks at 60
cents each, S24. Difference between
selling the chicks and the eggs, S14; or
if we have sufficient room and think it
desirable, the chicks can be held until
the last week in June, when they should
dress three and one-half pounds each,
and bring, with a few cents per pound,
as much for roasters as they would have
done April LIST for broilers. because what
few early chicks were raised have already
'5een disposed of for broilers, and the
! market for large roasters is consequently
short. They can be carried to this age
at an additional cost of 25 cents or less,
making their total cost SO cents each,
and as they will bring on an average
S1.25 each, the profit OH them is $50.
In this case the advantage of setting our
eggs instead of selling them is $26.67,
and as neither $14 nor $26 grow on every
bush, we put it in our pocket at every
opportunity. The moral is, keep an
account and see which, eggs or chicks,
pays you the best.-Farm. Field and
StOcEman.

TIE STOCK RANCH.


There has been some complaint for
few weeks past that the horse market
was dull, vet there has been steady de-
mand for good horses. One of the largest
horse dealers in New York City
says:
at may be said that carriage horses OF
first class quality arc scarce. Money
doesn't seem to bring them into the
market as fast as they can be placed.
When pairs Of high quality, fine action,
and ability to do what is required of
them without exhaustion are Oh hand
they can be sold at once, and at paying
figures. There is no grumbling about a
fair price for such animals, but the
cheaper carriage horses are more readily
found, and of course sell for moderate
amounts. We cannot have too many Of
the higher quality.
Prices of pairs? They will run from
$500 to $4,000, according to merit.
"Trotters are also asked for, but the
demand is not large. They may be OBJ
tanned all the way from $500 to $1,000,
but the requirements are gentleness,
steadiness, and speed. 4 gentleman 60
ing on the road for pleasure don't want
to be bothered and worried, fearful,
perhaps, that his new purchase will show
that he is not all right, but has tricks
which are dangerous. AND the same
may be said of all horses. Keep faith
with your customers. Never deceive
them about an animal. Let them know
all that you know about them and then
there will be plain sailing.
There is also demand for heavy
draft horses, but there is room for big
improvement in this particular. These
horses vary from $500 to $3.50 each.
Animals for the express business are
also called for, and the better grade
may be purchased for $3.50 to 1925. In
this class there should also be more
marked demand in the near future.
80 let us sum up the whole matter in
a nutshell. This is one of the seasons
of the year when falling off in trade is
expected. There are large number Of
tirst-c class and healthy horses on hand
and moderate business is being

THE GARDEN,
Good Varieties of Grapes.

The Jessica grape is variety as yet
but little known. We have no hesita-
tion to advise it as one of the most de-
siraGle kinds for the private garden. Its
quality is high. and it is one of the first
to ripen, coming into use week or
more before the Delaware. 1t is a
good grower with good foliage, and can
be depended upon to stand the sun.
Size Of cluster and berries about the
same as Delaware; color. red.
The Diamond grape, of which most
favorable opinion has heretofore been
expressed in these pages, has as yet
shown no fault or flaw in any respect in
any essential quality Of vine or fruit,
and it undoubtedly now stands in adj
vance, all things considered, of all the
varieties Of white native grapes in Gull
tivation. Its season is but little, if any,
later than that of the Delaware. 1t must
become very popular when we'll known.
The Nergennes and the Worden have
now been so long before the public it
may be thought needless to mention
them, but to some it may prove a word
fifty spoken" to say that these varieties
are thoroughly reliable both for the pri-
vate garden and the vineyard Ficks

latter nature always comes rividlv to

subject of foraging.
1t was in the spring of 1853, at Tu,,-

was still quietly resting in the winter
quarters which they occupied immedi-
ately after the battle of Stone River.
We had been fed upon fat pork, corn
dodger, and cow-peas until the stom-
ach actually rebelled. The country
had been secured for weeks by the
boys in search of fresh meat and other
delicacies, and was pretty thoroughly
drained OF such Injuries. Early one

footsore, we turned our f%ces in the
direction of the camp. After walking a
mile or two, and while passing through

gladdened by the unexpected sight OF
a large flock of geese quietly sitting in
the road. AS the moon shone brightly,

THE DAIRY,
The Average Jersey.

Hunter Nicholson, in the Dairy World,
says the Jersey leads the whole cattle
kind wherever butter is made. We do
not mean the phenomenal Princesses,
Oxford Hates, or Mary Annes, but the
plain, every day, average Jersey COWS.
Such COWS, if properly fed, will yield
an average of one pound of butter day
for every day in the year, or 365 pounds.
Jersey COWS that does not yield at this
rate when properly fed and the milk
rightly handled ought not to be kept.
They. ought to give place to COWS that
will do it. Even at 25 cents a pound
this makes So1.25. Allowing S45 for
feed we have $45 clear profit. This al

tured to say that the greatest DatCle oI
the war was to be fought in that State
would have been thought fit subject
for lunatic asylum.
We are accustomed to declare that
the South went into the war almost
ignorant of the vast resources of the
North in men, material and scientific
skill. We forgot that the ignorance
was not confined to the South. We
did not dream of the possibilities that
the formation of the country itself
offered to the Confederacy. We did
not know, until bitter experience had
taught us the lesson, that the State
of Virginia in itself was an i'm
zaense fortified and intrenched camp,
with its mountain chains and
s4av-igable rivers and that the Shenan-
d III Valley was broad and inviting
highway for Northern invasion, per-
uniting hostile army to reach the
rear of Washington, Baltimore and
Philadelphia before it could he checked,
while force from the North using
the same route would march directly
away from Richmond, reaching a posi-
to-. where that capital could not be
threatened at all.
All this was learned at the North by
the actual progress of the war. The
lesson began in the spring of 1862, when
created a panic at Washington. 1t
began to be seen then that the national
capital could never be safe while a
large hostile force was operating in
the Shenandoah and threatening its
rear.
But ruder shock occurred in Oc-
tober Of that year, when General Stu
art, with his cavalry, rode entirely
around the Army Of the Potomac, pass
ing well up into Pennsylvania to get
around it's flank. It was then that
the people near the border OF
that State began to realize the
exposed position of their homes.
I was in Baltimore at that
time, and we'll remember the sensa-
ton caused by this raid. I saw in
fantry regiments hurried off by rail
for the protection e exposed Pennsyl-
wanna towns, but t!,ey were too late to
prevent the dash &C. I; raider from max
ing liberal requis;'ion for shoes and
clothing for his nea'y troopers.
Much has been sid about the disci-
pine that was main aimed among the
Confederate troops at the time when
they were on Northern soil. It is
claimed that whatever was taken from
the stores was either paid for or re-
ceipted for by the Quartermaster. In
either case the unfortunate trader was
left with nothing to console him for
the summary appropriation of his
goods, unless it was the perfect "regu-
.larity" of the transaction. If he were
laid in Confederate currency it would
be about as valuable to him as an
equal quantity of his own wrapping
paper; if he had the Quartermaster's
receipt, he might preserve it as curl
osity for his children to look at
but it would be equally valueless
to him. It is related that dur
ing the Gettysburg campaign
General Early levied large
ransom upon one Of the Pennsylvania
towns that his command passed
Through; and that the Mayor, having
within reach quantity of Confederate
notes, offered them in payment We
are told that Early appreciated the
joke, and accepted the money ten
.dered.

A Good EARLY Tomato.

The Dwarf Champion tomato has
proved to be very superior variety.
The plant differs from other kinds by it's
stocky, bushy habit, allowing it to be
planted closer than others. 1t is very
productive, and it is estimated to pro-
duce a larger amount Of fruit than any
other kind in cultivation. The fruit is
of medium size, purplish red color, solid
and quite heavy, quality good, among
the earliest to ripen, and when ripe the
fruit is we'll colored all over and quite
up to the stcm-no green part about the
stem, as in many kinds. One peculiar
ity is that the fruit grows larger in size
the latter part of the season. This va
riety was raised by Mr.. f. Z. Black, of
Marion, Ohio, from seed saved in 1884,
from selected plants of the Acme
Vick's Magasine.
