New B. s. o. Locomotives.

The B. & o. railroad has received
from the Baldwin Locomotive Works
of Philadelphia the last large order Of
locomotives placed last fall. This de-
livery included twenty heavy locomo-
tives, which are now being used be.
tween Cumberland and Baltimore.
These locomotives are of the same
style as has been adopted as the stan
dard motive power for the first and
second divisions of the road. They
are of the consolidation type, with
2Ix26 inch cylinders. The average
load that they will pull approximates
1, 800 tons.

building, there would not be much de-
lay in providing free delivery through

livers mail from house to house in
the country as we'll as in the city is
because the country roads are in so
fiue conditiou that the work of de-

What Others Say.

1.-THE usual estimate is one COW to
each five acres, but by soiling (cutting
clover, rye, etc., and feeding green in
stable) and by using the silo one COW to
three acres may be kept or even more, Z"
says an exchange.
A correspondent of The New England
Homestead finds that the statement that
planting strictly sound seed on new
ground and avoiding manure from stock
fed on scabby potatoes is a sure prevent
i've Of potato .scab is at fault and not
strictly true.
From the Massachusetts, station the
Walbridge, Lauver and Ord Benz apples
are reported as promising varieties fo-

Salamander, Champion Spring and
Summer, Black Seeded Simpson and
Silver Ball are standard varieties Of let
tuce recommended by Rural New York
or for the summer market.
Some people don't like clover in a
lawn, but it is a capital thing for dry
weather and stiff or clayey ground in
mixing the grass seed if you sift a lot
of ordinarily moist mellow loan and
mix this with it, it prevents the clover
seed from falling to the bottom of the
heap and holds it equally distributed
among the grass seed, says William
Falconer in Gardening.

Inmates the total peach area of the state
at IL, 600 acres, practically confined to
the southeast quarter of the state and
very largely concentrated in three or
four counties.
Trees ON exposed hilltops are found to
suffer less from winter killing than
those in protected valleys, probably on
account of better maturity of the wood
in the former locations. Disintegrated
sandstone or shale soil is found TO be
best suited to peaches. The usual limit
of profitable life of an orchard is given
as about IL years. Pruning so as to form
low, spreading heads is favored. Thin
ming the fruit is strongly recommended
The borer is the most injurious insect
enemy of the peach. Cutting it out with
knife is recommended.

Granulated Honey.

1t is natural for pure honey to granu-
late when exposed to air whether it be
in the comb or extracted. So long as it
is in the comb, the air is to large ex-
tent excluded, though some air pene-
trates to the honey even then. If ex-
tracted honey fails to granulate when
exposed to air, it is probably adulterat-
ed with glycerin. This, of course, pre-
vents the honey from graduating, but
it is fraud on the honey buyer and an
injury to the honey producer. Nobody
wants to eat glycerin, and the fact that
it is sometimes used to adulterate honey
makes people suspicious of all honey,
so that much less is bought than other
wise would be. Honey is the most deli
cious sweet known and ought to be used
much more generally than it is. The
price, too, is very low, partly because
chemists have learned how to manufac-
ture a sweet, sticky substance which is
sold for honey, but whose composition
no bee ever had any part in forming.
This fraud also ought to be punished by
law. If after most of the honey is eaten
the remainder becomes quickly granu-
lated, it is matter for congratulation
rather than for complaint, according to
American Cultivator.

HoNEYCoMB.

generations of young bees have been
reared in a comb, it becomes tough and
very unfit to furnish the table of the
human family, but very fit to provide
bedchambers for the bee family.
But these cells are not used entirely
for rearing young bees. They contain
honey and bee bread or pollen. The lat
ter is the pollen gathered from flowers
made into hard paste with honey.
With rare exceptions, pollen is stored
only in worker cells.
You notice that the cells are six sid
ed. Can you improve on that? If you
have three sided cells or four sided,
there will be waste room in the corners
and it will take more wax to accom-
modate the same number of bees 1t
will also take more room, so il would
take more bees to keep warm the same
amount of brood. If you try five sides,
seven or any number larger than seven,
you will have a lot of waste room be-
tween your cells.
When bees change from worker to
drone cells in building comb, some of
the cells must be more or less irregular
in size and shape and these are some
times called accommodation cells. Mar
velous ingenuity is displayed in making
the transition, and the whole business OF
comb building is such as to challenge
our admiration.

Saving Soil Moisture.

1t has been decided at the Kansas sta
ton: cd That layer of finely pulver.
lied soil only three fourths of an inch
thick had no marked influence on the
rate of evaporation. (2) That hay
mulch two inches thick checks evapora-
ton most effectively, but that evapora-
ton proceeds at SO rapid rate from
bare soil that a mulch to be most use
full must be promptly applied. (3)
That the rate of evaporation from a
sandy soil is less than that from one
less sandy, when both are kept con-
stantly wet, but if allowed to dry the
sandy soil becomes much drier. "a
That neither salt, gypsum, lime nor
magnesium chloride exerts any bene-
fetal effect in checking evaporation
from the soil, the evaporation being
practically the same as from untreated
SOIL"
Point does not agree with the gen.
orally accepted notion that salt helps to
save or increase soil moisture.

How Captain Made a Million by Garry

If there is anything that makes a
poor, toiling man happy il is 70 read
about fiukes that have made fortunes.
For instance, there was captain of IA
vessel plying between English and Aus
tralian points who made a lucky strike
when oonyiots were taken to New
South Wales.
A time expired man came 10 the
mariner and begged to be taken home.
The former convict had no money, but
he would gladly give his plot Of land
for transportation.
The captain accepted the terms, and
great is the JOY of his descendants, for
that plot is now occupied by wharf
and it is valued at 81. 1875, 600.
A Limerick tobacoonist believed him
self to be ruined by fire that destroyed
his shop. The next day he found tins OF
snuff that had been in the fire. Curios-
ity prompted him to open the canisters.
He found that tho action of the flames
had materially improved the aroma and
pungeney of the snuff. The discovery
made him very rich.

A bank clerk in London heard that
there was rich deposit of gold at a
certain place at the Cape Of Good Hope.
He set about forming provisional syn

found no gold. He had decided to give
up the search and was ready to leave
for home, when he ran across a miner.
"Well, stranger, " he said, 81 guess

here, boss. :"
Have You claim here?" asked the
engineer
"Yes, and | want to make tracks up

for 500, and here's sample of the
quartz. That claim amt worth its
weight in gold, but it's worth every
dollar / ask for it. 4"
The engineer examined the specimen
and decided that there was gold in it.
He acted quickly.
ON tell you what I'll do, mate, I" he
said. "I'll give you $50 on the risk OF
losing it. "
The bargain was struck and the claim
carefully explored. An abundance of
gold was found in the most unlikely
veins. Today the shares, the face value
of which is 500, are worth $500, 000
each. New York World.

Early Potatoes In Gardens.

1t is the habit of most farmers to
plant few potatoes for early use in the
garden. But this is bad practice, be-
cause often the potatoes are planted ON
the same ground year after year, and as
the germs of disease live in the soil
over winter the potatoes thus grown
are most likely to be diseased. Besides,
where potatoes are grown in succession
the soil is filled with hard shell potato
bugs, which come up just about the
time the potatoes do and will often be
found gnawing the potato shoot before
it is fairly out of the ground 1t is much
better to pillow clover sod somewhere

FERTILIZERS ON CELERY.
Wood Ashes Give Best Results, but Soda
and Potash Promise Well.

Wood Ashes Give Best Results, but Soda
and Potash Promise Well.
The experiment station record reports
ON an experiment conducted near Rome,
N. ", on muck land which had been
previously half wild meadow and had
never received fertilizers. Fertilizers
were spread by hand in small burrows
ON both sides of rows of celery. The va
rieties grown were Golden Self Blanch-
ing, Kalamazoo and White Plume. The
fertilizers used were sulphate Of potash,
muriate of potash, dissolved South Car
olina rock, boneblack, nitrate of soda
and combination of nitrate of soda,
sulphate of potash and dissolved South
Carolina rock. Several rows of plants
received no fertilizer. The number Of
rows in each plat, the weight of fertili-
GERS applied to each and the weight Of six
average plants in each are reported.
Brief notes are given of the behavior Of
the plants under different modes Of treat
ment. Plants from some Of the plats are
figured
The results Of this test are summed
up by the author as follows: "All these
records show that wood ashes gave the
best results, although combination OF
nitrate of soda, South Carolina rock and
sulphate of potash promises to do well.
Muriate of potash excelled the sulphate.
Nitrate of soda alone gave poor returns.
The check ono fertilizer) plats were not
worth the growing. y
Chemical analyses of the soil and of
an average plant from each plat are
given in tabular form. Nitrates were
found in appreciable quantities in plants
fertilized with nitrate of soda and III
those fertilized with nitrate of soda,
sulphate of potash and South Carolina
rock. Phosphoric acid and lime We're
fairly constant in all the plants. Potash
was the most variable constituent. With
one marked exception a greater percent
age of potash was found in the plants
fertilized with it than in those not so
fertilized. In some samples there seem
ed to be evidence that potash was par
tally replaced by soda. The soil was
found to show no acidity and to contain
high percentage of nitrogen, potash
and phosphorio acid. The phosphoric
acid was in very available condition,
but the potash was practically all I'M
available, which the author says seems
to explain the excellent results which
were obtained from the wood ashes. !"

The larger cells are called drone cells

As rule, when a queen lays eggs in

and when she lays eggs in the smaller

amount of drone comb in hive is

more drone comb than is desirable.
