IIOMttlOPATllY
From a letter received by Dr. Constantino
lloring, of this city, Irom 1'r. Strnupf, ofXaiun
borough, in Prussia, (medical counsellor.) un
der dale o! October Inst, wo learn tlmt the Kine
of Prussia hns granted full liberty rf practice to
physicians of the homoeopathic fcImioI. This
event may he rognreleel bp the emancipation of
liomii'opnthy. Whatever tuny be wanting o tlto lioiisto through nn open window, ho went in
its success, dcpcmls now upon the homoeopathic j to the front room, and was occupied in remo
practitioner themselves; ns the only obstacle j v ins money from the desk, -vhen he w as inter-
with which the y have hitherto had to contend, !
ntu! which stood in the way of their system in
Germany, is removed. The importance of the
step taken by the King of Prussia., can bo ap
preciated only by those? who arc aware of the
fact that the distribution of medicines in tier-
j many has been permitted f.,r centurie s only to !
, then pot hocari.-s, who are required to undergo I
j strict examinations, and put under oath, and arc
j always under the control ofthe regular physi-
c;ans, on too one band, and ofthe police on the .
other. They are competed also to pay a tax, 1
are IwVMvu tocng in any other business ; 1
and a certamsnm is naal also for the privilege !
ofvemdm..' nie.hcnes. Ou'y a certain i.un.her 1
of a-MthecancR is allowed, according to the
size ofthe place, and the sale of medicines is !
strictly forbidden to nil otlu-r persons. The law j
I directs that no physician shall ndnimi.-ter me- I
dicioes, except tlirotieh the hands of an apethe- ;
cary, save in cases ol suelelen necessity, or when '
a li'.ensed sedler ofelrus is not within reach.
With tliis law Hahnemann came directly into
conflict. His method of preparing medicines
was so entirely different from the usual one, it
required so much cure, ami went plainly against
the interests of the apothecaries, that lie hhould '
'
not rely upon this class of persons, but was com
pellp.l to prepare his medicines himself, and te
advise his students and fidlowers to the same
course, especially because the party ofthe ho
moeopathic mi'diciiies was to be te.-te'd, neit che
mically, but microscopically and physiological
ly ; and thin much time and trouble were ne
cessary, and great skill.
As the adherents of homoeopathy boan to
1 r
mulfphy. nnd Hahnemann to receive, not nn-
tr. qiien.ly. from .-,( to HM) at a tunc, ... let-
tersadd.rssed to h.m from different quarters,
(.tbe.nglhe custom by the way, in Kur.Te,
when one wntes to a phys.cian for a.lv,ro. to
encl.ise a fee nccord.ng to the rank and means
e.fthe patient,) the regular physicians began to
suffer ; nnd when they found that no warnings
of! heirs, whether spoke,, or written, bad any
effect to Hay the progress of homoeopathy, they
put forward to the apothecaries, and ihe np. the-
caries put forward the law ; nnd so the cause
ol the hi'iiling art fell into the hands ofthe po-
'
lice. Hahnemann was thus compelled to quit
.. i i i
i.eip.i ; nuu u:e eiie ire'eeienu ui praceice was
e ranted him by the Prince of Auhalt Coethen,
he removed thither. I
Hut the rejoicings of the Leipzig doctor? over .
his departure were of brief continuance. lie

velty eif some of his views will make our Roe
li'i'eders brush up their old receilh ctions anil o
pinions, nnd inquire, whether or not they be all
correct l'ditor ol'rarmor's Cabinet.
I, A hive is composed of three kinds of bees.
1st. The epieen, who is ihe only female', nnd
lay every egg in the hive.
Cod. Tin drones, nnioontin? in number from
r.(lf) to moil according to the population of the
hive. They fecundate the egos of tiie queen,
being the only males in the hive, nnd are k 11
e.l 1 v the winking bees nt the c'ose of the
breeding pea son.
Hd. The common working bees, ho, being'
ofthe neuter gender, take no share in the" pro.
cremation of tin ir specie s. They colb-et. the
honey and make the w ay, and may be cab u
lateel from U'1'0 tr,l!(i( in every hive. In the
summer the numbers tire considerably img
mooted.
II. I he bees never nitow but one epieen in
,1 hive, who begins to lay her eggs nbciit the
end of January, anil finishes about August 'or
Septi'inbe'r.
III. The young queens never lay eggs in the
parent hive. If there be not a sufficient num
ber f he-os to f. nn a swarm, the young queens
are killed.
IV. A swnrm without drones is not of nuy
value; when drones are wanting, about two or
three hundred to be taken from the parent
live.
V. A hive which has drones in ll.o winter,
generally perishes.
Yl. A weak swnrm will weigh from one In
two pounds; a middling one from three to four
pounds ; a geioel one iilionl five pounds; nnd an
exce llent one from six to eight pounds.
VII. Roes deprived of their queen w i'l not
work, and w ill perish if there be no royal egg
in the hive frr.m which the queen eanb horn.
VIM. The larvre ofthe bees nro about six
davs in coiep'e ting their growth, according !o
ihpstate? ofthe; weather; they Ihen lake the
form of a nymph or chrya'is, in wffieh they re
main about fifteen days, when they emerge front
the cell u perfect liec.
NI Egg are hatched successively inn hive :
nnd when the number of bees which have e
merged from the cells bo greater than the hive
can r.en'sin, t'ney form what is ch1Io1 a jricwrm,
which is always accompanied by a young queen
but never hy the mother queen.
X. There nre no determined signs for '.ho
departure of a swarm. It :rener.il!y lak-s place
from the hour of ten, A. M, lo ah .tit two, P.
M. A swarm seldom ib-piris ', w in.'y wea
ther, and never during rain ,
XI- Atwurui never to be put up in on oM
hive.
XII. A hive that has thrown f'fl'ot"" r'Va-m,
wi'.l generally throw oiV.i second, nnd a third ;
the latter always to be returned TO tlio parent
hive.
XIII. The greater the number of a anus,
the b'ss is the ipiant.ly of honi y.

tion of tho farinn of plunts. .Id. Ree-brend,
which is tho crude farina ot plants not yet ela

dimensions. Tho cells in which the common
bees are bred, are n complete hexagon, and the
bi.iallttt in tize. The cells iu w hich the dru.ic

are bred nre larger, and irregular in their
shape.. The cells in which the queens arc bred
me placed perpendicularly on the edges ofthe
combs, having the opening at the bottom, and
nhout the si.'.c of nn acorn.
XX. The bees never to be allowed to leave
the hive during the time that snow is upon the
ground.
XXI. The coll which contain honey are co
vered with a small pe llicle, und nre flat ; the
cells which contain brood are convex.
XXII. The severer the cold, the less ia the
consumption of food ; if kept dry, there U not
anv cold in this climate which can effect the
live eif Ihe bees.
XXIII. The hives which nre cnmpieily clos
ed during Ihe winter, become foul nnd musty,
w iiich occasiems the death ofthe bees, inde
pendently of their being prevented taking their
pe riodical flight for the purpose of venting their
fa -ces.
XXIV. The mortality of bees proceeds al
ine si nlwnys from the want of provisions, or The
denth oflhequeen.
XXV. The aspect of an apiary should nlwnys
be Li the south-east. A hive with an aspect
towards the north, wi'l not swarm as soon by
throe weeks, ns one which has an aspect to
wards the south.
XXVI. Water is indispensable to bees; if
not naturally in the immediate vicinity of the
hives, to be artificially supplied.
XXVII. Raw sugar never to be given to
bees ns food ; nnd no food to be givcn,to bees
w hirl, has not undergone the process of boiling,
with the exception of honey itself.
XXYIIl. Neither tobacco nor sulphur to be
used in the fumigation of bees; the smoke -of
1 r ifil h-nvesor rngs will answer every purpose.
XXIX. Every hive to stnnd upon its own pe-
de-stal, two fect from the ground. Hives placed
on benches, are subject to pillage and battles.
XXX. A person may by law follow his swarm
into the garden of another person, paying for
all damages that lie may occasion, provided he
can prove that he has never lost sight ol the
sw arm from its departure from the hive.
XXXI. The customnry noise with pokers and
shovels, and frying-pans, and warming-pans, is
of no real benefit. The bees will never settle
until the queen sets them the example.
yXXII. Deprivation of hives to take plnce in
the spring, and not in the autumn. Glasses to
be placed on hives in the month of February or
March. Hives seldom swartn which have glass
es pot over them.
XXXIII. Hives to be protected from the sun
in summer, when the heat is very great. In
"pripg, however, the coverings tn be taken off
the hives, that the sun may play fully upon
the-r.i. A hive without a covering, will swar.n
a fortnight soonerthan one with a covering.
XXXIV. TIees to be assisted in the killing of
drones. As not a single drone is lett in tho
hive, they may be indiscriminately killed as
soon ns the bees signify the proper time.
XXXV. Rees of a fi.est swarm begin their
rem.! in the middle of th hive; the bees of a
second swarm 'oegin their combs at the side.
A vale.able hint to the purchasers of swarms.
XXXVI. Swarms always to be feel if rainy
w evi'.Vier ensue immediately after their 'being
.lived. The food to be given lata at night, but
nrrrr in the middle oftho day. A swarm not
to be? placed in the immediate vicinity ofthe
pire-nt hive.
XXX VII. tn winter, tho bees occupy the tn
of the hive ; in spring and summer they occu
py tin middle and ti.e bottom.
XXXVIII. The ago of a hive determined by
the color ofthe combs. The combs of a young-
hive are yellow, rregiessing through every
t-'uadc lei a positive black, w hich is an indisputa
, , i,i-
n o Mgn or an om one.
XXXI.V. The goodness of a hive determined
by its weight ; a hive of twenty-five pounds
may be considered excellent if in ton months of

Chicken Mam factor. Nature ia getting
superfluous. We rather think sho will be soon
voted out of fnshion and dispensed with. Thera
is a chnp just over our publication offico hatch
ing chickens in a big box, fifty a day, having a
thousand eggs always doing. The trouble of
doing them is slight, the heat costs bntvery lit
lle.and'thechickens crack their several shell
and walk up to their dough and wntet like wood-
choppers to dinner or sailors to their grog.
They are clean, strong ar.d lively, grow fast
and rarely die, (not being draggled through tliei
grass ;) and whoever has a hatching machines
can have "spring -chickens" every week in thes
year, and nt small expenso. If we could only
invent a machine to lay eggs now, hens would
be done with. -V. V. Tribune.
