    When to Move ttecs.
spring is tno oest tirau ol ttio year
to move bees. The combs arc not
heavy with honey, thero Is no hot
weather to mult tho combs or stiffocato
tho bees, tho combs aro touah with
brood, nnil thcru nro but comparative
ly lew uecs 111 tno mvc. A spring
wagon is uio best to nam tnem In,
bat a lumber wagon can bo uscil if
pjenty of straw is placed, under tho
hives and tho driver is careful. If the
top of tho hive is covered with wlro
oloth, it will furnish suflicient vontilrt-
tlon early in tho season t in hot weath
er both top nnd bottom of tbo hivo
should bo covered with wire-cloth.
Tho frames should bo nailed nt tho
ends to prevent their slipping nbout.
W hen oecs aro moved only a short uis
tance, thero is usually trouble from
their returning to their former loca
tion. If tho distance that they aro to
uo moved is very short, it can ho ao
complishcd bv moving them only .i
few lDchcs each day ; if tho distance is
several rods, tno bees should uo Listen
ed in their hives, then disturbed by
drumming upon the hives, after which
they can Uo carried to tno now loca
tion. Before releasing them, however,
a board should be leaned against, tho
front of each hive. Then, as tho bees
como rushing out, they striko their
heads against tho board, which causes
them to notice their new location and
tako "bearings"' as they lcavo for tho
news. Kcmovo as many landmarks as
possible from tho old locations, and if
necessary, keep smouldering, smoking
tires burning lor a tew hoars upon the
piaco previously occupied by tho hives.

Farm Notes.
An old rccipo for making grafting
wax, and a good one, is lour parts re
sin, two parts beeswax, and one part
tallow. .Melt all together in a kettle,
over a modersto fire, and when well
mixed, pour into a vessel of cold water
to harden. When stitl enough to ban
die, grease tho hands and then pull and
work the wax to tho gratts in such a
way that tho air shall bo entirely ex
cluded from all raw surfaces on scion
and stock. In cold weather, tho wax
may need warming by working it in
the hands, or it rauy bo melted applied
with a brush. For small trees in nur
series, wo have used the wax on strips
of cloth prepared by simply dipping
the strips in melted wax. These,
wound around tbo stock, keep the scion
firmly in place.
When an orchard is in a very bad
condition it may bo greatly improved
with a moderate outlay, if, after giviog
it a good pruning, tho land is given a
heavy dressing of ground bone and
ashes, or muriato of potash. When
ashes cannot be obtained, muriate of
potash may be made to take place.
One ton of bone and forty bushels of
- wood ashes, or 500 pounds of mnriate
of potash should bo applied to each
acre, spreading it broadcast on the sur
face. If tho fruii bo tho object, when
the grass is in blossom it should be
rolled down with a heavy roller, and
permitted to remain as a mulch for the
trees. This not only keeps tho ground
well covered but it causes the grass to
come up the next spring quite thin,
and thus the grass roots are lessened,
giving the roots of the treo a better
chance to grow.
The straw from beaus is a natural
food for sheep, and they aro the only
stock which are fond of it. It is a
healthy food for them. O.it straw is a
healthy food for them. Oat straw is
better for sheep than any unpalatable
hay. They will pick out all of the
leaves and heads of any kind of straw,
but they do not like the coarse straws,
and '.will not eat them unless forc
ed to by hunger. Straw, to be good
for sheep, should not be over-ripe, mus
ty, or full of ergot. On this account
rye is the poorest, and wheat next. To
give sheep a keen appetite, no more
should be given them than tboy will
eat np clean. They come to a sweet
smelling and fresh raok of food with a
relish.
Sagacity of Cows.
Tho sagacity ot cows is generally
underrated. A great deal is said of
dogs and horses, but the ingenuity dis
played by cows in opening bath doors,
teed boxes, and gates, and in upsetting
fences far surpasses that of any other
farm animal, and proves them to bo
thinking ond reasoning creatures. One
who has watched tho eloquent cyo of a
cow engaged in withholding her milk
cannot fail to be impressed with her
evident power of thought and deter
mined will. And now as a further
proof of tho co iv's sagacity Mr. Coles
Carpenter says one of his herd goes to
tho pump when tho water trough is
empty, and taking the pump handle
between her horns, pumps water into
the tub and satisfies her thirst, and will
even p-jmp more if the supply is satis
factory. This stoiy, perhaps, goes far
enough, if not too "far, for it will cer
tainly encourage the dishonest milk
and water men to charge some am
bitious and vain cow with diluting her
own milk for tho pnrposo of increasing
her record. Perhaps Mary Anne of
St. Lambert is one of those sagacious
and ambitious cows.
Mustard and Pneumonia.
Writing to tho Now York World a
gentleman says : "Pneumonia can be
cured if the person will apply prompt
ly oyer inp lungs a poultice or urau
inaae oi mustard and tlaxseed meal,
keeping quiet ond warm in bed.
Prompt action is of vital importance
and mere is no occasion tor waitin
ior the arrival ot an 'old-tashioned' or
'new-fashioned' practitioner when so
simple- a remedy maybe applied by any
one, and if taken in season will, I
think, always be effective. In my first
personal experience my determination
not to give up business, even for a day,
cam near costing me my life. Tho

and restored my luug to its normal
condition, as good as new. In tho sec

taken in hand promptly, the poultice

physician being called.'1 Mustard is

virtues can hardly bo over-estimated.

Manners and Customs of a Peculiar Peoph
in Africa- .
Tho following Interesting description
of tho manners and customs of one of
tho West African tribes tho Su-Sus
is taken from artlclo in tho London
standard on tho German annexations
on tho coast between Senecral and Sicr.

... rt ...1. I! , r t.
umu uiuuur wiiu iivou ior soma lime in
tho country.
I ho natives, we aro told, belong to
tno ou-su tnuo. moy aro tail and
handsome, In this respect contrasting
strongly wiiu tho natives of tho Congo
region and Damaraland. Tho women
aro very nice looking, nnd thoy appear
to bo scrupulously clean. Tho Su-sus
aro exceedingly polite, never pacing
each other without passing a gooJday,
with a wisli that thoy may respectively
do their work well. The men wear a
kind of coat, somewhat after tho style
of the Arabs, and a pagnai, or cloth of
a gay nue, about two and a half yards
long and a yard and a half wide fast
ened around the waist. They inva
riably havo their head covered, gener
ally with a nico clean-looking cap.
The women wear a bright-colored robe,
with a silk or other fanoy kerchief
around the head. Their family life is
remarkably pure, A Su-su will keep
his wifo and children wherever they
are, oven though they bo a huudred
miles away. Their religion is Moham
medanism, but, apparently, of a corrupt
sort. Tho marriage coremony is per
formed at tho age of sixteen. Polyga
my is practiced within tho limits pre
scribed by tho koran, but no woman is
forced to marry a man against her will,
and if she cannot get tho man of her
choico she is at liberty to remain single.
The marriago ceremony is analogous
in most respects to that of tho Arabs.
A man wishing to espouse a damsel
sends, presents (invariably consisting
of European goods) to her parents. If
tho parents agree, the suitor visits tho
young lady with another load of pre
sents. After making eaoh other's ac
quaintance tho lady informs her par
ents of her decision, who in turn com
municate it to tho young man. If it
bo favorable he proceeds forthwith to
build his house, and returns to claim
his bride with yet a third lot of pre
sents for the parents. Should a caso
arise in which the parents object to. tho
union, tho couplo settle tho matter by
eloping, and, according to tho eti
quette of tho people, every village
will give them shelter and protec
tion. Slavery is an established institution,
and an extensive trade is carried on.
Slaves are worth from $10 to S40, ac
cording to ago and ability. A good
healthy slave who has learned a trade
will fetch twice as much. The slaves
aro well treated, and appear to be a
great deal better off than servants in
Europe. They work five days for their
owners, and tho rest forthemselves and
their families. Dome Hi J slaves very
rarely run away, and if they do they
aro quickly caught and sold into tho
interior by way of punishment. A slave
will protect his master with his life.
They seem to bo very happy in their
slavery, ior tnoy are well cared lor,
well fed, and well dressed. Frequent
ly the chiefs or kings go up tho river
on slave-hunting expeditions. As a
rule, the slaves they bring down do not
regret their capture, for by coming
down to the sea they havo less field
work to do, and have altogether a bet
ter time of it. If a slave is determined
to obtain his freedom, ho makes for tho
isles de liois, which are liritish terri
tory. While the writer of tno article
was there a nativo trader was passing
ciose 10 me jsies ue x,os with a slave
cruv. No Booner did he come near the
shore than his crew to a man jumped
overboard and swam ashore. He went
after them, but tho English collector of
customs took them under his protec
tion and refused to deliver them
Tho chief articles of food among the
Su-sus aro fish uud rice. They eat only
once a day, just before going tc bed.
They consume an astonishing meal,
but it does not appear to interfere with
their slumbers, for you might discharge
a rifle besido a sleeping Su-sus without
awakening him. Their buU are wat
tled, mud-plastered, and roofed with
bamboo. They aro cleanly, and furn
ished with chairs, tables, ard bedsteads
mado by nativo carpenters. The Su-
sus have acquired the rudiments of
civilization, presumably from tho Por
tugese. A proof of this is to bo found
in the fact that thoy aro adepts in soap
boiling. ilio local potentate is a uersonat'e
styled King John. His majesty is said
to be a drunken old reprobate. He re

handed over to his clever brother King
Ben, in exchange for rum. King Hen
was educated at St. Louis (Senegal),
and displays his French education bv
thwarting the commandant to tho ex
tent of bis ability. Tho king is not a
pure Su-su, for his grandfather was a
white man. While tho German offi
cer was on the Tongas river a creat
war was going on among tho natives.
The martial character may be indeed
by tho fact that during the entire cam
paign tho casualties amounting to no
raoro than seven men, and these aro be
lieved to havo been killed bv accident.
Their usual method of fightiug is to
skulk behind bushes and fences. When

Words says : The commonest Uuo of
cold is that called "cold in tho head." i
to distinguish it from "cold on tho
hen." The ''cold in the head" has
eeitam well-marked symptoms a feel
ing of general malaise is experienced,
often accompanied by a slight feverish
sickness. Then comes a sensation of
fullness in the head, thero is sneezing,
a proiuo now ot loirs, and irritating
and copious discharue from tho nose.
This means that the mucus membrano
of the nose is'lnflamcd, and if this
spreads down tho back of tho tiiroat,
the sufferer becomes hoarse. The way
to treat this troublesome complaint is
to tako a "hot drink." An oranuo
sliced and put into a largo cup with 11
little sugar sprinkled over it, and boil -water
upon it, nnd then drank as hot
ns possible, is both pleasant and bene-
licial. ltie Icet should bo put into hot
water, with a little mustard. This foot
bath should be, taken at the bedside ;
the patient should bo well wrapped up.
and a blanket placpd across his knees.
hould be drawn outside tho bath, so
as to confine the steam. After keeping
tho feet in the water for from fivo to
ten minutes, tho patient should lose no
time 111 (retting to bed, where ho will
probably derive great benefit from tho
general feeling of warmth and fipm
How of prespiiation which ha be.-n
induced. If possible at this stage, tho
patient should remain in bed tor two
ays, with a lire 111 his loom, which
should bo well mado up at night, so as
to keep alight till morning. Utu keep
ing in bed will do liltlo good if the pa
tient persists in holding a newspaper
or a book to read, for thereby he is
more dangerously exposed to cold than
it tie weie up, dressed and going about
as usual. 1110 main point is to Ueep
thoroughly wrapped up and constantly
warm. Even nu uncomfortable degree
01 neat m3y ue uentnciai.
A small piece of camphor chewed
anu sucKcu is very good, so is the in
uaiation 01 Buipnnrous acid gas a
remedy which was found to be in con
stant use by the weavers of Kircahlv.
who had it among the material of their
worK. JJuy twootinces of sulphurous
acid (dilute) from a chemist, and then
take out the cork and inhale through
ino nostrils oniy, 01 course the pun
gent tas wnicn is given on. some
use terriers suulf, and find benefit
therefrom: but it must be used can
tiously, as it contains a powerful drug
tn.urif mnn.litn rP. . ,
grains of Dover's powder taken in
gruel at bedtime is good for an adult,
but should not be administered to chil
dren, as it contains opium, w hich should
never be given to them without a doc
tor's prescription. To avoid au un
pleasant excoriation of the nose and
upper lin during the course of a cold in
tho head, they should be often washed
thoroughly with soap and lukewarm
water, and a little vaseline should be
applied. It tho throat feels snre. n
chlorate of potadi lozcimo should bo
sucked occasionally.
How to Make a Paper Pan,
I rect'iitl) required a dish to silver
some paper on, and uono could be ob
tained near wliew I live. I mado a
dish in the followinc manner: First
cut out a block of wood tho exact bizu
and thickness of dish ronuirod. Thi-n
take a tdieot of eaitridgu paper, paslp
it with Hour paste, and rub in tho
paste vell, let tine the nailer bo thor.
ouglily soaked with it. Then place
wiu puptr cveniy on mo wooilon block.
turn down tho tdues smoothlv and
double tbu corners back, rubbing them
uoivn wen. xto verv narticu ar w i
tho first sheet, because if you get that
smooth, tio rest is easy. Follow with
another sheet of cartndco paner. turn.
ing tho surplus or slack paper at tho
corners, the opposite direction to tho
hst. Follow with five or six abets nf
old newspaper in tho same way, and
cap with another bheet of cartriilm!
Put tho block with the paper on into
nn oven, ana uaKo till dry. Then tako
out tho block and trim the edges
l'aliit the outside of tho paper dish
with varnish. Pour some varnish in-
sido tno dish and let it soak in, and
then pour Pit tho surplus, liako in tho
oven again. After the varnish is hard
and dry, warm tho dish until it is hot
vnough to melt paralhno wax. Pour
Home melttil paratlino into it, aud till
it about till the bottom and sides are
evenly corned i pour off tho surplus,
und when dry you can uso for toning,
developing, or evcu silvering paper.
Of courso tho nbqyo is only recom
mended as a substitute for glass oi
porcelain when the latter cannot be
icadily obtained. Pitrallino alone may
beutd if you like F. Whitehead,
