CARE OF BEES.
How They Should Be Fed and Treated
During the Winter Months.


There is but little opportunity during
the winter to give bees attention, and
the proper time to put them in shape is
during the summer months. The
American Agrlculturist says the feeding
shoHld all be done before cold weather
sets in, and they should be settled in
their winter quarters before real winter
is at hand. 1t often occurs that winter
overtakes US with colonies that lack
foed--1n such cases we can not possibly
use-sirup for food, as the weather is too
cold for the bees to seal it over, and un-
sealed stores will not serve properly for
winter. The moisture which always
arises from the bees in cold weather en-
ters the unsealed honey and dilutes it,
making it very unwholesome. Our only
resort, therefore, for feeding in cold
weather is to make candy and use it.
This is very good and healthful food
if properly made and administered.
1t is made from granulated sugar by
melting it, adding a little water-no
more than will thoroughly melt the
sugar-when it is boiled few minutes
and poured out into cakes or states of
three or four pounds each. When cool
this becomes very hard, almost like rock
candy. In feeding this it is placed on
frames just over the cluster of bees
where they can have access to it at all
times. When in this position it receives
the heat arising from the bees and they
remain on it all the time. 1t is so hard
that it will last them long while. This
candy may be given bees at intervals
during winter, and colonies may be
brought through in good shape that
would have otherwise perished- This,
or any other work that is necessary to
do with bees in winter, should be done
on warm days. 1t will not do to molest
them on cold day, but it should always
be done on days when the bees are
dViup.

CHAPTER II.

The shades of night had fallen with
unusual deliberation. They had fallen
to the extent of about a. m. Rev.
Wobbles awoke with a start. There was
someone in the house-someone who
was stirring stealthily. Rev. Wobbles
was not coward. He arose and pro-
ceeded to investigate. He heard sounds
in the back parlor and went there.~The
burglar was there and his dark lantern
made him visible to the naked eye.
'Ahem," remarked Mr.. Wobbles, by
way of introducing himself.
"Throw up your hands," hissed the
burglar, leveling at the same time
seven-shooter at Mr.. Wobblcs. To the
distorted vision of the, parson the
weapon seemed to be about ninety-six
caliber.
Yet he was not sore afraid. ''My

Preserving Apples in Soil.

. 1 remember when boy finding
apples in the orchard which had lain
hidden in the grass and leaves till
spring. What mattered it then that
they were slightly musty? They were
plump, juicy and scarce. Claygate
Pearmains and Ribstons stood the or
deal of winter better than soft varie-
ties. The plan of storing apples In
earth, or ''clamping" them, is prac-
ticed in some parts of the country, but
it is not to be recommended, as the fruit
acquires slightly musty and bitter
taste. II stored in sand it is difficult
to get the grit out of the eyes and stalk
cavities The best materials is the
siftings from burnt clay, which is free
from germs of any kind. 1 have tried
moss, but this also gives a musty
taste to the fruit stored in it or on 1t.
So does straw, and. worse still, hay.
Even boards convey an undesirable
flavor to fruit stored upon them, and L
always interpose sheets OF Whitley
brown paper between the fruit and the
shelves.-W. R., in Gardeners Chron-

General Grants Good Heart.

Edward Griswold, First Connecticut
l.. A, Guilford, Ct, writes that on Au-
gust Is, 1864, one section of his battery
was sent out to the extreme left of our
line on the north side of the James
river, beyond Deep Bottom, with Fosters
Brigade, of the Tenth Corps, to dislodge
a regiment of rebel riflemen, who had
secreted themselves in farmhouse and
its outbuildings and hedges, and had
opened a destructive fire in one of our
brigades of infantry. 1t was terrible
hot day, and soon the stretchers were
doing lively business carrying off the
sunstruck as we'll as the wounded.
While they were engaged the writer
heard the means of a wounded man
near him, but could not leave his post
to 60 to his assistance. Just then two
men approached. They were General
Grant and his orderly. The General did
not see the fallen man until his horse
was almost over him, when he stopped,
dismounted, beckoned to his orderly,
and the great General took the private
soldier in his arms, and, with the help
of the orderly, carried him as tenderly
as if he was his father to the shade of
a hemlOck, some yards away, and laid him
gently down. This incident we'll illus
trates one of the characteristics of this
great soldier, and the writer doubts if
any of his subordinate Generals would
have done Nhe same thing

II vaiueras q Wood TO Be Cultivated by
Farmers.
While much attention is being paid
to the importance of systematic forestry,
systematic tree-planting is sadly neg
lected in many parts of our country
wLere it could be made profitable. In
she Middle and New England States
there are thousands of acres, once culti-
waited, that are now apparent waste ex-
cepting for pastures, which returns but
a small revenue. There are many whole
farms no longer valuable for agricultural
purposes that could be made profitable
if planted with the common yellow
locust, valuable timber tree of easy,
rapid growth.
Some fifty years ago an intelligent
farmer having a large acreage in Long
Island on rocky land where profitable
tillage was impossible, planted about
thirty acres to the yellow locust which
made rapid growth on the steep hills
among the rocks, the soil being moist,
lively loan. All underground was an
nually cut, which allowed a fair growth
of grass that furnished good pasturage
the entire season.
After a period of twenty years the
larger growths were eight or ten inches
in diameter, and from that time there
has been annually sold more in value
from this rocky waste than from the
most productive field of the farm, and
without expense other than the cutting
and getting to market.
The timber takes the first rank,
whether for strength or durability,
among our forest trees. It's invaluable
in ship-building, as well as for posts or
rails, and for railroad ties it has no
equal; for the latter purpose alone it
would be a remunerative industry on
lands now overgrown with comparative
ly useless timber. There are few trees
that make more rapid growth, or are
half so valuable. A peculiar feature OF
the locust is that grass grows freely in
its shade, which it will not do under
most forest trees. When the planting is
once made no further attention is re-
auired, other than to thin out annually
all superfluous growths. 1t increases
so rapidly by suckers that this atten-
tion becomes necessary in order to make
available the entire product of the soil.
The same rule, we believe, is applied to
all timber growths. Garden.

How Uncle Abe Danced.

General Singleton, of Quincy, H.,
who was one of the bright young
lawyers of Springfield when Abraham
Linc' N was green youth there, tells
this .ory, which we believe has never
been printed before. The bevy of bright
young ladies to which Miss Todd be-
longed before her marriage to Mr.. Lin
coin used to have a good deal of sport at
this awkward young mans expense. One
evening at little party Mr.. Lincoln
approached Miss Todd and said, in his
peculiar idiOm:
Miss Todd, l should like to dance
with you the worst way"
The young lady accepted the newt
able, and hobbled around the room with
him. When Miss Todd had returned to
her seat, one of her mischievous COM
panions said:
''Well, Mary, did he dance with you
the worst way?7
"Yes," she answered, the very worst" -"
