words to add in that direction. About

about twenty gallons of good lie left,

the roosts, piled them in snug pile,

rated every part where l thought a

summer Resort for Dogs.

Down on Long Island is summer
resort for dogs. 1t is a large, old
fashioned farmhouse, where a few
summer boarders are taken to supple
ment the dogs. The hostess is a
woman Of family, but not of fortune,
a lever of dogs. The dogs know their
friend, and, according to the New
York Evening Sun, when she comes
up to town after year of absence
they make the most extraordinary
manifestations of affection, and will
leave the most doting mistresses after
a winter OF devotion to go with her.
She has now about twelve dog board
ers. They are chiefly big dogs, kept
without the range of the dwelling
house. The only parlor boarder is a
fox terrier, who does not allow any
other dog to set foot on the piazza.
The expense Of boarding a small dog
out of town is 81 a month. This is
clear gain, and, with sufficient num-
Der of dogs, produces a good income
on scarcely any outlay, as the dogs,
being allowed to run at large, are
much less fastidious in the choice OF
food than in town. Their care is
scarcely more of a consideration.
They find their own diversion, take
their constitutional all day long, do
their own bathing, and, II i'll, find
their own medicines in the green
things that grow. The expense of
dog in town is a consideration. A
pound of dog biscuit will not last a
fox terrier over three days. This
must be well pounded and mOlstened
with gravy. Twice a week it must
have liver properly prepared. Once
certainly, and usually twice week,
IL is bathed; IL must have medicinal
soaps, and the tyranny which its care
in the matter of exercise exacts makes
one sigh to estimate. In return for
this devotion the dog is much happier

Influence of blossoms ON Honey.

Italian bees will work well IL they
have all the brood-frames that they
can cover, but not small sections.
They might work well in three pound
or four pound sections. but such large
ones do not always suit the trade.
The Italians breed up quicker in the
spring than blacks, but that is of no
use, as we never get any surplus from
either race until September or Octo-
Der; then the white honey is gath
cred, and all the honey we get in the
months OF June, July, and August is
very dark-colored. Some bee-men
say that buckwheat honey is all dark,
but that is great mistake; for some
years we have the whitest honey from
buckwheat. 1 think that climate
and the kind OF blossoms the bees
work on makes a difference in the
nature of the bees; for when working
on chestnut, Eastwood and locust, the
bees are very easily handled; but
when they work on corn, ragwood,
and golden-rod, look out for fight;
and the more honey they have, the
more smoke they will stand. Elk.

usually comes on the second or third
day after calving, seldom later than
the third, but occasionally on the

of high fever; by the cows getting up
and lying down, turning the head to

Mr.. White was elected the first presi-
dent Of Cornell University, and
sketched the plans upon which it wa.

proportions. In January, 1871, Mr..
White was appointed one Of the

recognition in his appointment as
Minister to Germany in 1879. This

years. Failing health compelled him
in 1885 to resign his Office as presi-

endowed the new Cornell school of
history and political science with his
