Odd Mention,

The New York state fair will be held
this year during the week beginning
Aug. 90.
The New England Homestead says:
There will be a decrease in the New
England acreage this year not because
growers have agreed to plant less, but
because SO many are forced to plant less.
That decrease, be it large or small, will
have very little effect on prices, because
the foreign supply of wrappers can be
drawn upon to any extent needed to fill
the deficiency.
Editor Carman of The Rural New
Yorker reports the Pink Plume celery
tried on his grounds last season to be OF
better flavor than the White Plume.
AS rule, manures rich in potash are
always acceptable to the grasses, and
since corn belongs to the grass family
good results may be looked for from an
application of potash in any form, ao-
cording to Country Gentleman.

Bee Culture For women.

A Philadelphia correspondent in The
American Bee Journal writes: AS G
business for women bee culture has ad-
vantages that are we'll worth consider
ing. 1t is an outdoor employment in
which she nsed be engaged only in fine
weather. Ehe work can be systematized
SO there ueed never be tax beyond her
strength Except in swarming time, the
work is never urgent, but can lay over
a day, if necessary, without detriment.
No special talent or high grade intelli-
gence is necessary. The ordinary FORE
thought and prudence that the average
woman puts into housekeeping will
bring good results and enable her to at
least make a living with 80 colonies.
The outlay is rather small and the re-
turns usually almost immediate In this
latitude (Philadelphia) from November
to April the bees are in winter quarters.
and the keeper is free to engage in some
other occupation.
Mrs. Jennie Atchley of Texas may be-
instanced as a successful bee culturist.
and Mrs. Lucinda Harrison and Mrs.
Sarah Axtell Of Illinois are well known
in the fraternity. The Philadelphia
Beekeepers' association numbers among
its members several women who have
experimental apiaries.

Crosby, of Phillips, who writes under the

those interested in the summer travel of
Maine, railroad men, hotel keepers, sports
men, etc, that this State should have some
exhibition of novel and unique charac-
ter. Miss Cros5y's idea is TO erect there a
typical Maine log cabin, such as shelter the
sportsinen who come there every year. This
cabin, which will be about 12x16 feet in
diameter, will have the stone fireplace, the
log chimney, the porch or verandah over
the door, one stump table. Tough bed. the
shelf outside for the pail of water ard wash
dish. and ell the other conveniences of the
hunter home in the woods. On the veran-
da Of this cabin, during the exhibition, will
sit one or two Maine guides, to tell stories
and swap "reminiscences with the sportsmen
who will gather at the Maine exhibition.
Ed. Grant, the well-known guide OF Seven
Ponds. will be one of these attendants.
The latch string of the cabin Will always be
out, aid the latches themselves will be of
the novel patterns seen at Capt. &. G..
Barker's Camp 2emie.
The Redingtou Lumber Co. have given
the logs for the cabin, aud Ed. Grant is al
ready in The woods supervising the hewing,
filling and keying of them.
