mint honey in one season. But this is
decidedly exceptional. Fifty pounds OF

be considered a good average yield.
The latter sells, at wholesale, from 4

10 cents. Comb honey WHOLESALERS from

But agriculture does not live to itself

lutely sterile unless pollen is conveyed

Poultry I'm PENNSYLVANIA.

On the basis Of personal experience
the author of a Pennsylvania bulletin
discusses the feeding and care of poul-
try, artificial incubation. the raising Of
ducks, turkeys and geese on the farm,
poultry diseases, and related questions.
A combination of fruit growing and
poultry raising is especially recon-
mended. Locate your poultryhouses
if possible so that the runs will be in
an orchard. The fowls will dest'0y
thousands of harmful insects, thus
greatly benefting the trees and increas-
ing the prospects for fruit, and the
fowls will gain great comfort and bene-
fit by the protecting shade of the trees.
Plum trees and cherry trees are espe-
cially benefited by the presence of the
fowls about their roots. Peach trees
will grow most rapidly and soonest give
an abundant shade

was at Fort Sumter after the surrender
of the fort, and was a Federal soldier

was the first rebel soldier killed, and
that he lost his life at the battle of
Big Bethel, Va, June 10, 1861. Wyatt
was one of the first soldiers to enlist,

Gen. Charles II. Howard. in his talk
at the AppOmattoX celebration Of Co.
lumbia Post, told of many traits and
characteristics of General Grant, with
whom the speaker served in the Army
OF the Tennessee. While testifying to
the well-known reserve in speech Of
General Grant, his former associate
said that the great general was by no
means an unsocial man.
General Grant was thoughtful Of
the comfort and the feelings of the Of
Ulcers and men with whom he was in
contact" said General Howard. "He
was not, of course, Ioquacious, nor was
he silent and communicative. He
talked we'll and intelligently, and took
his associates into his confidence as
much as was desirable or wise, for one
in his position. In battle he was
study in the cool and sane conduct Of
the situation.
AT the battle of Lookout mountain
l was carrying orders between him and
my division, and I was struck with
the perfect appreciation he had Of the
real state of affairs in every part Of
the field, field which stretched, re-
member, over miles of country. He
never forgot, when l gave him news,
just how the part Of the movements l
reported had stood an hour, or two
hours, before.
no w mr. nf hn Crn-
ment was clearly in his mind, from its
beginning to the moment, and you may
be sure it was we'll outlined also as
to the succeeding hours and events of
the battle.
Grant was never profane in his
speech. In all of my associating with
him-and [ was closely associated with
him-I never heard him use an oath, or
swear at all. His repugnance to vul-
garity in language is we'll known. He
would not endure it in his presence.
His regard for others was strong, and
he was a patient man, but there was
a limit to his patience. That limit was
reached, and he quickly showed 1T,

although Grant was Of direct, sim
pie speech and manners, careless in his
dress and never a stickler for Ell
quette, he had natural and quiet dig
nifty which was felt by all with whom
he came in contact. He never had to
assert himself. What he was showed
too well.'-Chicago Journal.

Possibilities of Bee-Keeping.


Fifty years have witnessed wonder
full changes in most industries, but
none greater than have been made in
modern bee culture. In our grandfath-
ers' days bees We're kept in straw
'skeps,' log gums" and box hives At
ter toiling through the long summer to
lay up a store of sweets, the cold days
OF autumn saw the bees consigned to
the sulphur pit, while their combs of
honey were mashed up and hung in a
muslin bag before the fire to drip
strained" honey was the resultant
sometimes there was decided flavor
of bee-bread and birthstone.
The interior Of a beehive was a seal
ed book until 1852, when the genius
OF Langstroth, by the invention Of the
movable comb-hive broke the seal and
allowed man to scan the wonderful
pages. This was the first the revolu-
tionary step of modern bee-culture-
the foundation of all subsequent i'm
provements.
To-day bee culture is almost an ex-
act science. There Is money in the
business and the question is often ask
ed: What are the profits Of beekeep-
ing?' They vary from less than moth
ing (when the bees must be fed, be-
cause the weather is such that no crop
has been gathered) to amounts that are
fabulous. One colony, and it's increase,
in Texas, stored 1000 pounds of horse
