He said: I have got fine barrel of
apples for you All right I replied,

take your word for it. I replied But
nv neighbor would not rest until l
went out to his wagon and looked at
the apples. On the top they were nice
and no mistake. Then the man turned
the barrel upside down and knocked
the bottom in. The apples were about
as good on the bottom as on the top.

Blind Staggers.

This disease is caused by Indigestion,
which produces congestion Of the brain
with apparent loss of sight and of general
nervous power, so that the pigs stagger
about and ruin against obstacles which
may be in their way, as if blind. Very
soon they fall over and become con-
vulsed. Overlooking is the cause, and
this fault is quite common, for, as pigs
are greedy and are usually given all they
will eat, they eat too much and suffer
from indigestion, with the result above
mentioned. Treatment is generally USE
less when the brain is affected. A prob
able remedy is to give an active purga-
tive, as two ounces of linseed oil with
one scruple of calomel, and abstain from
feeding for two or three days; then give
very little food until the animal is fully
recovered

Bee Notes.

The following items are glcanings from
American Bee Journal:
Beginners in the extracted honey bust
ness had better go slow and learn the
business. or they may produce bad re-
suits and get discouraged.
Do not put too many sections at one
time on colony; too many has tend
ency to discourage rather than encour-
age.
Colonies worked for comb honey should
not swarm to exceed 10 per cent; and If
for extracted, not moro than 5 per cent.
a smoke pole is quite handy to keep
two or more swarms from settling to-
gether. You can prevent the others from
settling by the use of the smoke.
To hive 4 swarm, shake the bees off on
pole, to which Gagged queen is fasten-
ed. An old sack tied around the end of
the pole gives the bees better surface
to cling to,

THE PEACH TOMATO.

King of the Earlics, Atlantic Prize,
Earliest Advance and one or two more of
the same type are early indeed, but
this is pretty near all that was discov-
cred in their favor. Yet near large mar
kets, with demand for early fruit at
good prices, some of these early sorts, es-
pecially the first named, may be grown
with considerable profit, if grown under
high culture and making use of all our re-
sources in forwarding the crop. Rich
soil not only enlarges both foliage and
fruit, but also makes the foliage
smoother, better colored and even more
solid.
