LOCATING AN APlARY.
Where Eastwood and Clover Abound
Is the Place Where Bees Lay
Up Honey and Thrive.

If 1t Is the intention TO make bee
keeping business, for the dollars and
cents that are in it, it is certainly of
great Importance to consider we'll the
location of the same. There are locali-
ties, even in the radius of few miles,
that are much better than others.
There are localities where white clover
is very abundant, and where a crop
is sure every season, whether it is long
or short, while there are others that
are not SO, and occasional years only
furnish crop. Eastwood is another
principal honey resource, and where
this and clover both abound is a de
sirable locality for an apiary. Bass
wood or linden is good timber to
cultivate. 1t is very hardy and makes
rapid growth, and might take the
place of cottonwood, so extensively
grown in the west. In valley where
fall flowers are plentiful is good
point to seek for, as late flow of
honey is very desirable to place bees
in good wintering shape. Alfalfa is
one of the best honey producing plants
we have at present, and it would be
safe place to locate, even if no other
honey plants are in reach, but it would
be all the better if other honey plants
are present. There is long list of
honey-bearing plants, but we will give
but few of the principal ones. Millet
or sweet clover, crimson clover, alsike
clover, mammoth or pea-vine clover,
tulip tree or popular, black or sour
gum, wild asters, golden-rod, willows.
maple, buckwheat, cleome or spider
plant, all kinds of berries and all kinds
OF fruit trees, whether wild or domesti-
cated.-A. II. Duff, in Prairie Farmer.

Keeping Well Water Pure.

1t used to be an old-fashioned Gus.
ION in the country to put one or two
trout in well to insure the water
being pure and wholesome. If they
did not keep it so it was supposed
that they would give warning of fits
impurity by dying themselves. We
are reminded of this by seeing in an
English paper that Prof. Sobrero, of
Turin, has lately advised the use of
|eels in the house cistern for the same
purpose. He says two or three not
large but lively eels would devour any
Thing in the water in the shape of ami
malcules, infusoria, bird dropping
rom the roof or vegetable matter of
any kind. We think they would also
TAKE any animal matter like toads or
rats that might fall in and drown.

Fowls In Plum Orchards.

The difficulties Of growing plums,
owing to the attacks of the curculio,
nave almost driven this delicious fruit
out OF the market. Hens in a plum
orchard do not seem to protect the
trees, but in few recent experiments
which have been tried IL has been
demonstrated that il the hens are al
lowed In large orchard they will be
sept too busy with other insects to
aotice the curculio, but If the hens are
confined, and each yard contains one
mot over two) plum trees, under which
we hens will congregate for shade,
NTH but little grass in the yards, the
respects will be favorable to large
E'op OF plums.-P. 81. Jacobs, In Amer

The constitution requires IN sau-
meration Of the people once in ten

The constitution requires IN emu
meration Of the people once in ten
o..v.h ~ years. The census
which is to be
taken this year,
beginning on the first day of June, will
be the twelfth. When the first census
was taken, in 1890, there were only
13 states, but the enumeration in
cluded the people in Vermont, Ken
tucky and Tennessee. not then ad-
mitted to the union. The whole pop
ulation in that year fell short of
100000. There are now four states
which exceed that number of inhab-
itants; and there are almost 4,OOo,-
900 people in the states of the Rocky
mountains and the Pacific coast.
In the early part of this century the
census was simple affair. 1t was
merely q count of the persons living
at the time. Additional inquiries
have been added from time to time,
until, at the present day, the work
OF the census covers vast field of in
quiry and includes statistics upon an
immense variety of subjects. The re-
suits require more than score of
bulky volumes to contain them; the
facts are obtained and tabulated by
an army of several thousand persons
and the cost is many millions of dol
lars. The census is taken for the
benefit of the people themselves. and
the statistics are useful for deducing
many conclusions important in sci
ence, industry and other great inter
ests. 1t is therefore proper that
every one should lend his aid in max
ing the returns full and accurate.
There is an old and too prevalent no.
tion, says Youths Companion, that
the census is curious prying into
the affairs of private persons, and
that one should, if possible. evade or
mislead the census enumerator. In
fact, the statements made are conh-
dental, and the enumerator is sub.
ject to heavy fine if he reveals what
he learns in the performance of his
duty. He should be welcomed and
helped instead of being avoided. The
plans of the census this year are ex-
pected to result in the most satsfac-
tory enumeration ever made, and q
more prompt ascertainment of the
main facts than in the past.

your Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew belong?"
ITO the Grand Central station, my

without quiver. The noble English
mans face clouded for moment with
uncertainty. "fm afraid you don't
know what l mean," added Mr.. Choate,
about to go to his rescue. But Milford
quickly smiled a smile of glad inteGi-
gence. "Ah! l see, see, Mr.. Choate."
he exclaimed. "MIr. Depew belongs to

FrrzHARR1s-MuLLErT CASE.
Bnsis Upon Which n Decision WI
BE Rendered.

The brief In the case OF Ff:zharris and
Mullett, the two Irish immigrants who
are detained at the port of New York,
pending the decision of the Treasury De-
partment, was received at the Bureau of
immigration shortly after noon yester-
day.
Commissioner General Powderly did not
deem it advisable TO give out any infor-
nation regarding the contents of the doc
ument until Assistant Secretary Taylor
has gone over it.
1nferring from the argument CT the at
torney OF Fitzharris and Muilett George
NJ. Curtis. the brief bases its contention
on the following points for either admis-
sion of the men or a rehearing of the
case:
Whether the board Of special enGt.ry
is a judicial body so far as that its pro-
ceedings and examinations must be car
ried On in the same manner aad course
OF procedure as in any other court of
Law.
That the Supreme Court OF the United
States has never given license to that
board TO condemn any person to sentence
of deportation upon evidence illegal, in
competent, and insufficient.
That there is no legal, competent, Or
proper evidence that either of the &C.
tanned persons is a convict, or ever has
been a convict.
Whether. if an immigrant refuses 10
answer any questions. the Government
must produce competent evidence of his
belonging TO one of the excluded classes
The brief will be submitted to the At
torney General for an opinion.
