Bee Notes.

A New York World correspondent
says: eff shadeboards are used on bee
hives during the summer would prefer
to paint the hive dark color. Dark
colored hives absorb more heat from the
suns rays than light colored ones, which
hastens early brood rearing in the spring.
If l wished one color and did not use
shadeboards, it would be marine blue,
mixed with lead and oil. l prefer sew
eral colors, however, on account of less
loss of queens.
"After many years. experience and
study of both wild and domestic bees
and of many different styles of hives in
use, prefer single walled hive, with
two thicknesses of cloth on the frames,
covered with buckwheat chaff four
inches deep for outdoor wintering. A
super will answer to hold the chaff, but
a special frame is better if the cap is
larger than the body Of the hive. If the
cloths are clean or nearly SO they will
allow moisture to pass of better. One
thickness of cloth will do, but the bees
are apt to gnaw through before spring.
This is better than the expense of max.
ing and housing old moldy cushions

ROSE LEGENDS.

ROSE LEGENDSs
Harpocrates, the secret keeper, was
bribed to silence with rose.
Yellow roses did not come even from
the land of the Prophet of Islam, but
from Germany.
At feasts roses were lavishly used by
both the Greeks and the Romans. Fabu.
lous sums were spent to have them al
all seasons.
The rose was sacred to Eros and
Aphrodite, to Cupid and Venus, and was
an emblem not only of joy and love, but
symbol also of prudence.
The centifolia rose is said to have been
existent with the Greeks, and great
favorite, not only for its beauty of form,
but also for its perfume.
Antiochus luxuriated upon bed OF
blooms even in winter days and nights
and wqEen Cleopatra entertained Antony
she had roses covering the floor to the
depth, it is said, of an ell.
Nero at his banquetings showered
rose water upon his guests from a hole
in the ceiling; and when he honored the
house of a noble with his presence, the
host was compelled to have his fountains
playing rose water.
The Sybarites slept on beds stuffed
with rose leaves; the tyrant Dionysius
had his couch filled with them; Verus
would travel with a garland on his head
and round his neck, and over his litter
he had thin net with rose leaves en-
twined.
The medicinal qualities of
the fruit of tie rose are well known, for
it has time out of mind been considerd
as an astringent; and Wiseman, in his
Surgery" recommends fountain
water with rose water and sugar OF
roses" as a cooling draught.
Extensive rose farms exist in Turkey,
at Adrianople, Brusa, Ushak, and the
low countries of the Balkan generally.
In the last mentioned district, 10000 oun-
ces of altar are said to be produced in
each season. and there it takes 1000 flow
ers to the drachm!
Rose water is extensively made in
India. At Ghazipore, in Bengal, there
are hundreds of acres laid out for the
purpose. The harvest is in March and
April; and the result of the distillation
is to supply about one quart of rose
water from each 1000 blooms,
When Mohammed was journeyine
from earth to Paradise the drops of sweat
| which fell on the earth from the forehead
of the prophet became white roses; but
the drops of sweat which fell from A!
Borak, the animal on which he rode, be-
| came yellow roses.
Heliogabalus supplied so many roses
at one of his banquets that several of his

| ton; he bathed in the same sort OF
liquid, aud he had the public swimming
| baths filled with the wine of the rose.
CUTTING FLOWERS
1t is one of the most difficult of facts
to impress on the mind of the amateur
gardener that plants, to be at their best
should have the flowers cut as soon as
they bloom, and this does not always
mean full bloom, either. Roses should
be cut when the buds throw the first lea

BuckwIleat.

Buckwheat is crop that more atten-
ton might pro6tably be given to. In
many regions where it was once cult
waited to considerable extent field of it
has now become quite rarity, but there
are some decided advantages in it's cult
walton, among which, says The Southern
Farm, is the fact that it will make pay
ing yield on rather poor land. 1t is also
good crop for green manuring, and can
be used as a starter for improving ex-
hausted lands where it would be difficult
to procure a catch of clover. One or two
crops turned under would make good
foundation for stronger crop, such as
rye or clover. AS it may be sown late
it may often be used as a second crop, or
to fill the gap where something else has
failed Seed should be sown at the rate
Of about three pecks an acre, and fair
crop is in the neighborhood of forty
bushels. Besides being used for flour,
buckwheat makes one of the very best
foods for fowls. 1t is a good cleaning
crop and is never attacked by insects.

Here and There,

The Wyoming experiment station has
six experiment farms in different Sec
lions.
France requires Of primary teachers a
certificate of ability to teach agriculture
Washington's new experiment station
has issued two bulletins especially de-
voted to the interests of Pacific coast
horticulturists.
Dogs kill 1900, 900 worth of sheep in
the United States each year.
When the farmer ships a thousand
dollars worth of wheat he pays freight
on thirty tons of his product. When
the creameryman ships thousand dol
lars worth Of butter he pays freight on
two tons. Here is difference, even
counting in the extra cost of the refrig-
orator car.
Creamery butter always brings from
four to five cents pound more than
dairy butter. This ought not to be so,
for the home dairy has some advantages
impossible for the creamery to secure,
such as uniformity of milk for one. The
difference in the price, however, meas
ures the difference in the skill and care
employed in the manufacture.
One thing is certain, butter in Amer
lea is generally better than it used to be,
whether made at home OF in the cream
cry. The creamery and the dairy school
together have brought about this good
result. The time will presently come
when nobody can secure place to work
in a creamery unless he or she is a
graduate of dairy school, and farmers
daughters will all strive to take the
dairy course. Then the United States
will beat the world on butter. Let us
show at the Columbian fair what we
have accomplished already.
The demand for condensed milk is
increasing. But the plant for making
it is extensive.
The furnishing of grass sod for city
and town lawns and plats is flourish
ing industry among certain class of
farmers in the vicinity of New York
and other large cities.

PonItry for the Fairs.

Those who desire to have fancy fowl
to exhibit at the poultry shows and fairs
next fall and winter must remember
that chicks ought to be Matched early
and kept growing all the time. Many
really fine birds lose any chance of get
ting premiums because they are not
1well grown before shown" And worse
than the loss Of the premium is the
chance that they will be condemned and
perhaps killed because of the poor score
they get, which few weeks of age and
little better care would have changed
by several points.-Exchange.

land are usually smaller than the PhiIa-
delphia carons. being more frequently
madO from the smaller breeds. After
they are caponized, it costs no more to
grow or fatten than any other fowl, but
they sell at higher prices, because the
market is not well supplied with them.
American Cultivation.
The Portland daily press., 1892-07-09
The PIow in the West.

1t looks as if the plow would have to
fall to the rear as a farm implement,
says the Peoria Transcript. From all
parts of the west comes the advice,
Don't plow your ground for oats. Plow-
ing is slow, hard on horses, and when
done is not as good as surface cultiva-
ton with cultivator and disk harrow.
More than half the oats sown in this
part of Illinois are covered with a pull
verizer or corn cultivator. This means
of putting in oats is much more rapid,
and the crops as rule are better than
those from the slower way of blowing
the land and then covering with har-
row. During the past four seasons, says
the authority quoted, our farmers have
been experimenting with the pulverizer
as tool to prepare the seabed for a
corn crop. They first clear the land of
stalks, then put four horses on the pull
verizer, turn the disks to an angle where
they will dig and throw, and dig up the
surface of twelve or fourteen acres a
day. By going over this twice or three
times the surface is thoroughly pulver-
lied to the depth Of three or four inches,
and in the best possible condition to put
on the planter. Those who have tried
this are enthusiastic in praise of this
plan, and say they have no further use
for the old pillow outside of doing little
fall blowing. One of the great advan-
tages of pulverizing instead of blowing
is found in not having to harrow, plank
or roll in order to reduce the clods that
so often turn up in spring blowing.

Feeding Pigs.

Professor Henry, of Wisconsin, says
that in a pig fed upon mixed ration the
thigh bone will stand 200 pounds greater
pressure than one fed upon corn, and the
constitution will be affected in the same
manner. If the farmer wants more bone
feed oats. If he wants muscle and good
constitution feed oats. IF your brood
sows are getting too fat and you have
trouble at narrowing time feed oats. If
YOU want your pigs to grow and develop
into nice, large, thrifty shoats let them
run to oats at pleasure.

| back. Never wait until they are in full
bloom, if you wish beautiful nosegays.
There are other plants, such as calendula
and sweet peas, verbenas and the like,
that must be fully open to be desirable:
but whatever they are, they must be
gathered as soon as they are fully devel-
oped.
There are many persons who seem to
regard it as great hardship to cut flow
ers from their gardens. These persons,
as a rule, never have great quantities
of flowers; indeed, they could not as they
leave the blooms to come to maturity,
and this process accomplished, the plant
Immediately begins to form seed-pods.
Experienced florists know that the object
of existence in plants is to grow seeds.
Of conrse, when this is accomplished,
and why should they throw out more
blooms when they have seed enough?
To remove the blossom, never allowing
the seed-pod to form, is the secret of sue
cessful blooms.
There are many gardens where the
| opening of flower is watched with a
| critical eye, and the moment it has
| reached perfection, or possibly before
| that time, in the estimation of the mex
| perienced, it is cut from the plant. In
such gardens there is never any lack of
buds and blooms.
There arc many varieties of flowers
which will never flourish without appli-
cation of the pruning shears. They run
to stalk and leaf, and especially after
having formed seed-pods are good for
nothing for blooming.-New York Led
