FARM AND GARDEN.
TIMELY BEE NOTES.


THE apiary should be kept clean, neat
and tidy-clear of high grass, weeds
and rubbish.
DAMPNEss in hives is the most damag-
ing thing to bees during the winter
that. can befall them.
A SUFFICIENT number of drones is
necessary, but an overproduction OF
them should always be prevented.
NATURAL swarming is not to be com
pared with artificial swarming, or di-
viding up, in securing numbers, if the
proper plan is followed.
THERE is nothing gained on either
side by robbing. 1t is an injury not
only to the colony robbed, but also to
the one doing the robbery.
DIVIDING may be continued in safety
rs long as the honey flow lasts, and if
afterwards we desire more increase, it
may readily be secured by feeding.
ONE of the first steps is to give an
abundance of room for storing honey.
This will arrest the first cause of
swarming to a considerable extent.
ALL surplus boxes should be ar
ranged so that they can be inspected
daily and removed as soon as they are
completed, occupying the space with
empty ones, and in this way giving
plenty of room at all times
Much greater success is obtained in
securing straight combs by the use Of
foundations, either by using full sheets
or starters of the same. But by proper
management success can be secured to
some extent, without either.
A COLONY selected for queens should
not be the one in which drones are
produced, as this will bring them too
near akin, which should always be
avoided. We should infuse new blood
in the apiary every year or two.
EMPTY combs are valuable. They de-
serve the best of care, and can be made
to last several years, doing good serv-
ice six months out of the year. Combs
ly so liable to become infected with
worms as those of dark color.
IN managing surplus boxes, use but
one tier at time, and after they are
about half full of comb add another,
but never put in on top of the one be-
ing filed. Raise the full one out and
place the empty one under it. In this
way the bees will occupy the whole
double tier at once.
CARE must be taken to remove all
section boxes as soon as they are COM
pleted and add empty ones, always
keeping the ones nearest full in the
'he upper tier. If the colony becomes
so strong that two tiers of boxes will
not accommodate them, add third, or
as many as will give the bees working
.'oom.-St. Louis Republic.

PROMO FROM nn acre OF HONS.

1t is a progressive farmer who can
succeed in making one acre support a
COW, and he is then perfectly satisfied
with profit of $50 from her. If an
acre of land can be made to yield any
kind of crop that will pay profit of
$50, the success attending such a result
will be considered worthy of notice.
Profit means, of course, all that por-
tion of the gross receipts which remains
after the full expenses are paid, and a
profit of $50 an acre is very large. 1t
is easy to figure ION paper the possi'
bilities of an acre of land, but there
are facts abundant to demonstrate that
$50 is but small sum to derive from
one acre of land devoted to poultry.
1t is rare to find ease where large
iock of poultry has been given the
space of one acre that the hens did
not pay we'll, although due credit is
not always allowed for the "home"
market, which calls for poultry and
eggs, accounts not being kept with tho
family table.-Farm and Fireside.

HELP FROM MICROBES.
They Play an Important Part in the Di-
gostion of Our Food.

Eestion OF Our Food.
Ordinary digestion is performed in
the stomach and the intestines by
means of soluble ferments secreted by
the organic cells, which attack alimen-
tary substances, dissociate them and
render them assimilable; and this is
perceived to be a function very similar
to that of microbes. The digestive pas
sages, however, contain immense guam
titles of microbes continually brought
in with the food, multiplying infinitely
and performing exceedingly complex
offices. Even if we take up only few
of these offices we are compelled of
necessity to assume that they inter-
vene in digestive operations, either as
aids to the organic diseases or as them
selves effective agents M. Duclaux,
insisting on this point, has remarked
that some celluloses are capable of be-
ing attacked only by microbes, no or
ganic juice having sufficient strength
to affect them. M. Pasteur does not
believe in the possibility of digestion
in medium deprived of microbes.
OF the chemical activity of microbes,
what we know is as nothing in COM
parison with what it may be. Every
species, every race. every variety of
microbe is charged with a special func-
tion; the division of labor is carried
among them to it's extreme limits, so
much so that in any chemical reaction
each microbe takes it's part in produc-
ing the process at different stages.
Each variety has its duty in the work,
determines partial dissertation of the
material which another species COM
pletes, and so on to the extreme sim
plification of organic matter, reduced
to its elementary constituents, or to
such conditions as to be assimilable by
the plant.-L. Captain, in Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

Mr.. E. is a prominent officer of Post Lyon,

he said:

Twas insensible and was unconscious for
ten days while in the hospital. An abscess
gathered in my ear and broke; it has been
gathering and breaking ever since. The
result of this 100-mile ride and sunstroke
was heart disease, nervous prostration, in.
somuia and rheumatism. A completely
shattered system which gave me no rest
night or day. AS last resort took some
Pink Pills and they helpedme to a wonder

"do they look as if there was any rheuma-

and freely and strobe about the room like a
young boy. "a year ago those fingers were
gnarled at the joints andso stiff that could

joints would squeak when l moved them.

Let those who would prevent the
advancement of wounded veterans in
line of office, remember the story re-
lated of the attempted removal of Gen.
Van Rensselaer, from the position of
postmaster of Albany by jealous poll
ticians.
Gen. Van Rensselaer, visited Wash
ington and received a cordial greeting
from President Jackson.
Gen. Jackson" said the old veteran,
II have come to talk to you about my
office. The politicians want to take it
from me, and have nothing else to
live upon"
He proceeded to take off his coat,
when Old Hickory exclaimed: "Why
do you take off your coat here?"
well, sir, am going to show you
my wounds, which l received in fight
ing for my country"
Put it on at once" exclaimed the
president, his eyes suffused with tears.
The next day the politicians called
at the white house to solicit the re-
moval of Gen. Van. R. At the conclu-
sion of the speech, the president sprang
to his feet, and exclaimed: II take the
consequences. Do you not know that
he carries more than pound of British
lead in his body?"
That settled the case for time.
There was an attempt to have re-
moved the collector of customs at Sa-
lem-Gen. Miller.
The appointment of a Jackson demo-
crat was made, and the name of the
new collector was sent to the senate
for con nfirmation.
The following day Col. Benton called
at the white house and said to Gen.
jackson: ''Do you know who is col
