A bee is busy little creature. When
the weather is fine, it puts in long hours,
and if nature had provided it with an UNI
brella it would be glad to work in the rain.
1t can gather about "A grain of honey a
day-no more-and therefore you wouldn' Z
reckon a single bee at a high valuation.
But hive of the ordinary size will shelter
10, 900 bees who do days work outside in
the garden and 10000 more who do the
cooking and sweeping and busting inside.
They make "A nice little family, and If
they keep steadily at it they make IA good
deal of honey, of which the owner Of the
farm religiously robs them.
Years ago "A speculator sent swarms OF
bees to the West Indies hoping to have
honey in plenty. But the wise little
fogues soon learned that there was no use
in piling up honey for winter because the
flowers were in blossom all the year round.
A bee isn't fool, by any means. New
York Herald.

There is more or less discussion Of
the question whether the yellow vari-
cites or white varieties of corn give the
larger yield. The general opinion
seemed to be that the white varieties
made on the average greater yield
than the yellow, and results Of this
kind were reached at number Of ex-
pertinent stations where many varieties
were tested, and particularly III some
of the southern states
The results of seven years tests III
Illinois, too, showed slightly larger
yield III favor of the white varieties,
the average Of all the white sorts for
the seven years being 6l.S bushels
against an average of 60 3 for all the
yellow varieties Last year, however,
the results We're very considerably the
other way. Upwards Of 20 different
varieties We're grown The average of
all the yellow varieties was II. 8 bushels,
while that of the white varieties was
but 80. So marked u difference i'll favor
of the yellow kinds tends to unsettle the
opinion, which was beginning to be
pretty generally entertained, that the
whites Were the larger yielders.

OLD CUSTOMS AT THE CAPITAL.
Hospitality Was One OF the Chief ChArao-
teristics Of the Residents.

Said gentleman who has been fire.
quent sojOurner at Washington during the
last 40 years. People nowadays have q
distorted idea of the hospitality of ante
bellum times. The truth Is that the Gus
tomary hospitality of the national capital
was southern hospitality, and it was vastly
different from the society and social GUS
toms of the present day. At that time II
any man had expended $500 or 81 900 OF
So, 600 upon an entertainment of one even
ing he would have been regarded as unfit
for association with leading men and
women of that day. The mere expenditure
of large sums of money would have savored
too much of the shop and of the salesman.
Senator Douglas was one of the most
charming entertainers have ever known.
In common with other prominent men of
the day he had his regular servants and
they served refreshments such as were in
those days to be found in the homes of the
plain people and of the leading people of
the country. No one ever heard of set din
ners with regular decorations in stilted
manner such as prevail at the present
time. The entertainments were of n prim-
tive nature-that is to say, they were of
D homelike nature.
"Another thing that appears to me as
remarkable is the change which has &C
Cured in official life in the national capt
tai. In the days before the war it was
customary for gentlemen from the south
who came to Washington as members of
the house of representatives or as senators
each to bring with him ayoung man, who
was to act as private secretary, for the
purpose of being trained In politics, be-
cause politics was the Ccntlemanly profess
sion of the southern people at that time.
The private secretary Of representative
or of senator was regarded rs a student
of politics, and his standing was such as
a student of Yale or Harvard might obtain
in the cities where those institutions are.
According to his family history and anccs-
try and his own personal merit, the private
secretary of IA senator or representative WAS
received in society, and he was regarded
as a highly favored gentleman. Nearly
all of these young men attained or achieved
distinction as officers or soldiers in the
Confederate army during the civil war,
and IA number of them have become mem
bers of congress since the conflict closed. "

BEEHlVES FOR FARMERS.
Profitable Bookkeeping without the Use Of
Movable Comb Hives.

Profitable Bookkeeping without the Use of
Movable Comb Hives.
The late l.. l.. Langstroth, inventor
of the movable comb beehive, several
times advised farmers against the use of
this hive. His reason probably for this
advice was that farmer beekeepers are
not generally well informed regarding
the science of Bookkeeping, and the NOV
able combs entice them into untimely
and improper manipulations with the
bees W. q. Hutchinson, the well known
Michigan beekeeper, writing to Country
Gentleman, says: Probably the great
est mistakes in this line come from di-
viding colonies too early, or too late, or
too frequently, or i'll an improper man
ner. To make increase artifcially in q
proper manner requires judgment and
IA thorough knowledge of the principles
of beekeeping-in fact, very few special
lists now practice making increase arti-
ficially.
The movable comb laid bare the Sc
crets of the hive, and now that they
have been learned there is really but
little need of moving the combs, save in
exceptional cases. OF course in pro-
ducing extracted honey the combs in
the supers must be handled but expert
enced honey producers seldom disturb
the combs of the brood nest. When there
are external indications that something
is wrong, then the brood nest is opened
TO learn what the trouble is.
In the last few years there has been a
disposition to handle hives more and
frames (combs) less, and hives have
been modified with that end i'll view.
Without decrying the value of movable
combs, the advice is given that unless
THEN owner will take the trouble to
learn how to use them properly he had
better let them alone. Even experts have
talked Of dispensing with movable
combs.
A swarm hived in a box hive of the
right size and shape will store Just as
much honey in the supers as it would
had it been hived in movable comb
hive. The bees will winter just as well
perhaps better-in the box hive. They
will store as much honey the next year,
and the next, and so on, and so long as
everything goes well all is well, but
when trouble comes-if queen is lost,
if colony is found short of stores late
in the fall, if disease foul brood) gets
into the apiary, etc.-then movable
combs are needed. The advice of the
authority quoted to farmers is to get
movable combs and learn how to use
them, or else let them alone, except tc
remedy some trouble that has come tc
colony. But it cannot be disputed that
most excellent and profitable beekeep
ing can be carried on without movable
comb hives.
