NOTES ABOUT BEES.

Bees will forage when five days old.
Aristotle numbered bees among civil
people.
temperature of from 20 to so de-
grees Fahrenheit is more favorable to
keeping honey liquid than lower tenn
perature.
Pliny said for the uses of life bees
labor, work, ordain a commonwealth,
nave their private councils, their public
warlike actions, and have morality. q
About one-half of the wild bees, ac-
cording to Prof. Braner, have drones
with stings, and some of the wild bees
are only one thirty-third of an inch in
length.
The time that colony will be actual
ly out of laying queen, from the date
of dequeening to the laying of new one
reared by the bees alone. will be from
about 20 to 30 days.
The average weight of prime
swarm of bees is six pounds, the heavi
est being eight pounds, and the light
EST five and one-half pounds. Second
'warms average three pounds.
Varro and Columella both heed to the
belief that the station of bees should
be in an open, sunshiny place, little sub
iect to the injuries of the weather, and
far from the noise of men and cattle,
and the hive open towards the east, bu,
never toward the north. Water should
be near the hives, and clear, for the
bees to drink,

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.


One item in renovating an old orchard
is to provide good drainage.
No fruit is more certain to give good
annual crops than the strawberry.
Generally grapes give good return
for the land and labor required to grow
them.
Wood ashes make good fertilizer for
strawberries, raspberries. currants and
grapes.
The cumant and gooseberry are
grown, probably, with less trouble than
any other small fruit.
A bent and crooked tree is always an
eyesore. The time to train them is
when they are young.
Clean up the orchard, saw and cut GU,
the dead branches and burn or move all
rubbish so that it will not harbor insec,
pests.
Many injurious insects winter among
the dead leaves and branches. The
safest plan L. TO gather up and burn
them. u $50 ffpe nt M
On warm soils the buds of fruit trees
often start early and are liable to he
nipped by frost Mulching heavily in
the fall or early winter will largely pre-
vent this.
It is not best to dig the hole for the
tree any deeper than the tree Is to be
planted. otherwise It will stand in a
puddle OF water.--St. Louis Republic.

Preparing Brine for Better.

To brine butter, make strong brine,
two or three pounds of salt to one gal
Ion of water. Place straining cloth over
mouth of churn, pour in brine. put lid
on churn, turn sharply half dozen
times, and leave from 10 to Is minutes.
Then lift the butter out of churn into
sieve, turn butter out on worker, leave
1t few minutes to drain, and work
gently till all superfuous moisture is
pressed out. To dry-salt butter, place
butter on worker. let it drain 10 to Is
minutes, then work gently till all the
butter comes together; place it on the
scale and weigh; then weigh salt-for
slight sailing, one-fourth ounce; me-
dunn, one-half ounce; heavy, three
fourths ounce to the pound. Roll but
terouton worker and carefully sprinkle
salt over surface, little at time; roll
up and repeat till all the salt is used.
