are still at sea in the matter of remedial
remedies. Many of the potatoes that
do not rot are affected with black spots
in the tuber, and we suspect the plant

the disease. As we know little OF any
use about this disease we simply rec

best preventive we know of. AS mans

progress, in time we may look for the
solution of the mysteries belonging to
this disease. We see that difficulties
and dangers beset the path Of the farm

constantly plucking. More knowledge,

BEE SWARMING.
A Few Valuable Hints to amateur Apia
rists.


A Few Valuable Hints to amateur Apia-
rists.
Swal ming season being at hand the
following condensed hints may be OF ad-
vantage to beginners:
/. Swarms seldom issue before nine
o'clock a. m. and after four o'clock p. m.
2. BY catching the queen and clipping
her wings as she is about to leave the
hive the bees can usually be hived by
putting her in new domicile, which is
to be put on the place of the old one,
and the latter be removed If this is
done the parent hive will but seldom
cast after-swarms. 1t will not do to
clip the wings of any but the first queen
that issues from any one colony that
season.
8. 1t is absolutely essential that no
animal odor whatsoever, nor spider
webs be in the new hive, otherwise the
bees are almost sure to desert.
r. Giving one frame Tor more) of un.
sealed brood to swarm usually causes
the bees to remain, unless the sur
roundings be exceptionally offensive.
5. BY putting thin strip OF comb
foundation on each top bar, combs Of
remarkable straightness are obtained
never seen otherwise.
6. 1t is advisable to hive swarm as
quickly as possible, for the scouts re-
turning from their exploring expedi.
tons for new home, often seize the
queen and drag her off nolens volens.
Z. Swarms seem to prefer settling on
red cedar trees.
8. Though usually the utmost liber-
ties may be taken with swarm of bees,
some are occasionally found that are
extremely ferocious and dangerous.
Their temper can usually be deter.
mined by roughly scraping few bees
off the bottom of the cluster; if they
fail to resent, they are apt to be safe.
9. If good, new and clean combs are
on hand they ought to be given to a
swarm, but it seems best not to battle
their building instincts entirely.
10. Drone combs ought not to be given,
unless in very limited quantities.
II. Save, if possible, all swarms, nc
matter how small and late, for two or
more may finally be united to form one
strong family.
-. Some persons recommend syringe
to throw water amongst the bees when
they first show themselves; have no ex.
perience, but the thing looks plausible.

FROM the Herald Of Faith, st. Louis, Mis-

souri,, august 10, 1887.
Referring to Shallenberger's Antidote for
Malaria, the business manager of the Her
aid of Faith would say, that he gave this
medicine q personal trial, and was speedily
cured of an unpleasant Intermittent Fever.
He then recommended it to i. ]. Tiefen-
braun, 1915 Papin street, and to police officer
Meidenger, at the Union Depot, both of
whom were cured by it Of chills and fever
wife, after fever of several days duration,
took a single dose and was perfectly cured.
In view of these remarkable cures, and re-
Numbering how much money is spent for
quinine so little to be depended upon, and
often SO injurious, we can only wish that
Shallenberger' Antidote would come into
general use.

Hurt at the Swimming Pool.

Deputy Sheriff P. L. Constantine Of the
city court received painful wound last
night while bathing at the swimming pool
on Liberty street. The gateway by which
the water is drawn off from the pool is gov
erned by an iron crank, which is turned by
inserting wooden bar. The negro boy
who attends to the gateway began to turn
of the water without notifying
the bathers. Mr.. Constantine came
up near him, not knowing the water was
turned of, when the negro called to him to
'1ook out" and let the bar loose. The bar
whirled around with terrific force, striking
Mr.. Constantine across the left side Of the
head and knocking him back senseless into
the water. The crowd saw blood on the
water and pulled him out. He was bleed
ing profusely from the wound, which those
around attended to as best they could. He
was carried to his home at Congress aud
Abercorn streets and given proper atten-
ton. The wound is very painful one, the
skin at the corner and above the left eye
being split.

There was damaging runaway on Lib
erty street last night, the consequences of
which might have been more serious than
they were. A carriage from Harmon's
livery stable, occupied by several gentle.
men, was being driven down the street.
when the tongue of the carriage pulled out.
The dangling tongue frightened the horses
and they dashed down the street at a mad
pace. The driver was powerless to control
them. As they reached the Drayton street
corner one of the horses attempted to turn
up Drayton street toward the stables, but
the other one continued on down the street.
the result being that they parted company v,
and the animal, which attempted to turn up
Drayton street, a fine black, fell full length
upon the curbstone of the walk. The force
OF the fall was so great as to almost split
the horse open, aud he died in twenty min
utes. The carriage was wrecked. No one
was hurt but the driver, who was slightly
bruised about the legs.

the phosphate mines of that section to Sa-

The bulk of the phosphate thus Esr mined
has been going to Fernandina, but the
facilities of this port would be an attrac-

large fertilizer firms of this city have ex-

fields, and prefer to have the output of
their mines come this way.
