WORK OF HONEY BEES.
Calculations In Regard to the Nectar Co
lected by Them.

Calculations In Regard to the Nectar Col
lected by Them.
A writer in the Revue des Sciences
Naturelles makes the following calcu'
lations in regard to the work done y
the honey bee: When the weather il
fine, a worker can visit from 40 to
80 flowers in six to ten trips and
collect q grain of nectar. II it visits
200 or 400 flowers, it will gather iv<
grains. Uuder favorable circumstances,
it will take a fortnight to obtain
IS grains. Itwould, therefore, take sew
eral years to manufacture pound OF
honey, which will fill about 5000 cells.
A hive contains from 10000 to $4,000
bees, half of which prepare the honey,
the other half attending to the wants OF
the hive and the family. On fine day
10000 or 10000 individuals will, in six
or ten trips, be able to explore from
600 900 to 100000 flowers, say several
hundred thousand plants. Again, the
locality must be favorable for the prep
aration of the honey, and the plants
that produce the most nectar must
flourish near the hive. A hive inhabited
by 10000 bees may, therefore, under ia
vorable conditions, receive about two
pounds of honey day.

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE FivE-ACRE FARM.

How It Can Be Made to Yield Handsome
and Certain Returns.
To make the most of a small farm j:
must be made to yield it's fruits at sucl,
times as they are the must valuable,
which means to prolong the season to
the greatest possible extent consistent
with economy. Theresis great pleasure
and profit in having vegetables boil,
carly and late. There is decided relish
in very early vegetables, if of our own
production, and providing they can be
produced at a reasonable price. The
Lotbed meets all these conditions; when
properly managed it will furnish many
vegetables nearly two months in ad-
vance of the garden, and of much better
quality, because they are grown more
quickly and at a moderate cost.
But the hotbed to be profitable must
be made useful the entire season, or ut
least from March to January. After it
has furnished us with an early crop Of
radishes and lettuce, together with
plants for early cabbage, caulifower
and tomatoes, it can be made highly
useful for cucumbers, not our common
garden varieties, but the English frame
sorts, which do finely with us in sum-
mer when grown in a frame, which
should be kept we'll shaded on sunny
days. We have grown as large and we'll
shaped cucumbers in these frames as
we have ever seen grown in the green
house.
If cucumbers are not desired, SOW {.
few seeds of tomatoes about the list
of June, not later than the 10th; these
will ripen their first fruits upon the APP
proach of frost, when the sash should be
put on, and the season of tomatoes can
be prolonged for at least month. After
these are gone the frame can be filled
with lettuce plants, which should be in
readiness, and, with little protection,
the hotbed will furnish a supply during
December.
A goodly number of cold frames
should be in readiness in spring to re-
ceive the young plants of tomatoes, cab
bage and cauliflower, in order to harden
them off before transferring them to
the garden; this will afford the lettuce
all the room it will require for heading,
as the other plants should be sown in
alternate rows in order to make all the
space useful.
The importance of this kind of farm
ing is but little understood or appre-
ciated. It is carried on extensively near
all large cities, and is made profitable
by those who understand it. But it IS
doubly valuable to the small farmer who
grows not so much for profit as for
pleasure, for those who are willing to
pay to their gardeners what their vege-
tables and small fruits would cost them
in the market, and the rental of the
farm besides, for the satisfaction there
is in having everything fresh and strict
ly first-class in every respect.-Rural

we'll, and for outside purposes it is
worthless. For covering, stretch mus
lin over the top and tack it on firmly.
Apply one coat of hot tar, let it dry,
then put on another. IF to the tar a
small proportion of fine wood ashes is
added, the coat will be firmer and more
lasting. Upon the last coat as fast as
put on, sprinkle sand plentifully. Such
q roof is windproof, waterproof, and
with the addition of new coat of hot
tar every year, becomes practically in
destructible.
Such houses are ideal homes for broods
of chickens. Two or three hens with
their focks may occupy such house,
and with the addition of roomy yards
are we'll provided for until the chicks
are half grown. If not crowded they
may remain there until removed for

to. I have used these houses with
marked success.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Road Horses Arc Profitable.

al, raising a window that opened on q
small circular balcony above thesfront
door, she deliberately stepped out, and
leaning with folded arms against the
pillars that supported its pagoda-like
roof, awaited the result.
Suddenly the night was startled anew
by loud cry, as Daily, standing back
from the others, perceived that silent
figure upon the balcony.
"Stand out! Stand out! and meet
justice like mani" roared he.
Seven other voices took up and re-
peated the cry; while Deering, within
the house, struggled with his mother,
who would not suffer him to obey that
imperious call.
Then Anice, realizing that the mo-
ment admitted of no indecision, squared
her young shoulders and stepped out
from the shadow of the pillar.
The resemblance to Roger was strih'
ing. Tall, her figure robbed Of its
slimness by the overcoat, and her chest.
nut hair hidden beneath the easily
recognized hat, she knew how to con-
ccal her betraying skirts behind the
fencing Of the balcony, and to strike an
attitude peculiar to Deering.
There was heart beat of intense
silence. Then came a low-voiccd order
from Daily, and eight pistols rang out.
The maskers, through a cloud Ut smoke,
saw the target on the balcony stretch
up it's arms, sway to and fro, then fall
heavily backward.
"Shall we force our way through the
house and see that he is dead?" asked
Daily.
Beneath his black cloak Halloran
shuddered. mo, no, enough of this, ~
he muttercd. "Out of eight shots we
may rely on it that one has sent Deering
to his last accounts"
There was startled cry from Roger
as he heard the discharge of the pistols,
and, turning to speak to his wife, dis
covered her absence.
"Where is Anice?" asked he, with 4
horror that increased as the trampling
of horses feet struck his ear.
Blankly Mrs. Deering echoed his
question, cropping about the darkness
with extended arms; and, for the first
time that night, her limbs trembled
beneath her as she followed her son to
the north chamber.
Roger lifted his wife's body from the
floor Of the balcony, and bent over it
with urgent entreaty that could find
expression only in two words:
Darling! Darling!"
At which Anice, smiling, opened her
blue eyes.

listened without . word.
"Roger, Roger" besought the girl,
''be reasonable. They will not touch

danger is nothing. nothing"

what your wife says"
Anice led her husband to the foot of
the stairs. -
''For my sake," she whispered, push
ing him gently. ooh! Roger, Roger, for
the sake of Anice."
Deering still hesitated. He was no
coward. but death and disgrace con-
fronted him, and left no room for
choice. With one foot on the lowest
step, he cast backward glance at his
mother, who, pausing in her feverish
walk, held up two warning hands.
"Hark!" she cried. "Hark! I thought
heard the gate OPEN"
Five minutes later two women sat
in the semi-darkness Of the fire-lit
kitchen, each with loaded gun resting
upon her knee. The face of the younger
burned like crimson peoples, but the
features Of Mrs. Deering were white
and cold as chiseled marble.
Suddenly Mrs. Deering sprang to her
feet; she held her gun in firm clutch,
and her voice had the strained tone of
an instrument at high pitch. -.
II hear the trampling of horses feet
towards Garry's Corners" she cried.
"Listen!"
Anice did not move. She sat straight
as an arrow in her high, upright chair
waiting.
1t was clearly perceptible now; the
clinkity- clink, clinkity-clink, Of gallop-
ing feet in,the distance.
In five minutes, possibly less
Mrs. Deering placed the muzzle of her
gun through one of two holes which she
had made in the door, and, reckoning to
Anice, pointed to the other aperture.
At this moment the crunching of
heavy hoofs upon the gravel could be
distinctly heard, as the horses, two
abreast, came up the winding ave-
nue. OF shadowy trees; the riders drew
up before the kitchen door.
The two women daEted swift: glances
at each other in the dim freight; but
their hands, leveling the heavy guns,
did not tremble.
Then the silence was broken by VOL
ley of knocks upon the door, and u
mans voice commanding Roger Deer
ing to come out. ..
No reply came from the darkened
house. The very air was heavy with
suspense.

hit something that stopped it-and-
I-don't know what it was, Roger,
but"
Deering tore open the overcoat al
his wife tainted in his arms. In the
left breast pocket was a heavy leather
wallet whose condition showed that
one of the pistol had been aimed with
deadly intent. Raising it to his lips,
lie covered it with grateful kisses.
While only faint glimmer of dawn
touched the uplands two brothers.

as two peas in a pod, and that red and
green shawl has strong look of his

window and stares back at me with tho
eyes of Rogers wife"
John Halloran drew up his horse
close to the saddle of the other, and
p:ucked his brother by the sleeve.
"Allen," burst from his lips, as IL
unwillingly, "a word in your ear! and
may you die if you repeat it. 1t was
not Deering who came out to face the
pistol shots, but his wife. Hush, mani
Perhaps was not the only one who

"And you fired?" Allen knew tho

"Ah, yes! SO did, so I did. Whoa,

Another fusillade of blows, and still
more peremptory summons in the name
OF Judge Lynch.
Anice looked at her mother-in-law's
face. It was rigid in its set intensity,
and her clawlike fingers were upon the
trigger of her gun.
THAT was Daily's voice." whispered
the girl. Fire, mother! Aim towards
the cypress tree!"
There was sharp report, followed
by curses and clamor.
Mrs. Deering smiled coldly. "Some
one is hurt" said she.
The kitchen door shook under the
combined force of several stalwart
shoulders. 1t had, beside lock and key,
q heavy wooden bar, fitting in grooves
at either side. As long as the bar held
out there was comparative safety, but
the lock was of very little use.
Another shot and cry. Anice
glanced triumphantly Mt Mrs. Deering.
Then began a carnival Of battery, as
the men, Infatuated by the shots, clam
bered over each other in impotcnt rage.
They ratified the shutters and ham
mered at the door; and through it all
the women reloaded and fired their
guns.
Suddenly Anice paled, and her lips
trembled, as she exclaimed:
"They are going to the front of the
house. Oh, mother! 1t is only mat
ter of minutes now.''

ing, soft-footed, down the stairs and
peered into the kitchen.
It was Deering; his face white as q
sheet.

kissing of a musket ball. Leaping for
ward, he dashed the heavy weapon from
his wife's hand.
''The game is up" he cried. "Let us
make all end of it."
He strobe toward the front door and
laid resolute hand upon the key, but
his mother dragged him back.
'Madman!" she screamed; and ap-
plying her lips to the keyhole, called out
in lusty tones: "No surrender!'
Anice had slipped upstairs. She
went to her husband s room, and select
ing from his clothing a heavy overcoat,
buttoned it snugly over her breast;
then, taking down from it's peg an old
SLOUGH hat by which he was well known
in Garry's Corners, she placed it with
behring's own careless toss upon her
head, taking care that its brim con-
cealed two shell-like ears.

seen in the history Of the Mccormick

For IS years they have simply been

One sometimes sees stables where the
hay is thrown down an opening over
the horses head, without the use of II
chute at all. As result the name, fore
top and hair of the horses head is filled
with dust, chaff and spears of hay-a

sees a chute made of Stats. This is much
better than a simple opening. But dust

and get on to the horse. Better do the
