All such communications should be addressed to Uturca Ernionzars, Agricultural Editor, Coludibla, Lancaster county, Pa. Why the Bees Dld Dot Swarm I see from the correspondence of the Journal, that in nearly all the States there was very little swarming among the bees this season. I think I can five the reason or probable cause of this. The - natural instinct of the queens induces them to commence laying about the time New-Year comes, or mostgeneral ly from the first to the tenth or fifteenth of January. They will usually lay a small circle of eggs in two or three of the middle combs; in February they en large the circles, and still further en large them in March, adding some more 'combat° those already containing brood. Thty proceed thus progressively, till In April and May they have their combs mostly filled up, and when the last or fifth large circle is ready to hatch, the colony is ready for swarming, in a' natural season. This season the weather having been warm in February and March, the bees }Ad their three larger batches ready for swarming about the last of April and first . . of May. Most of the Italians swarmed about that time, or during the latter part of May and beginning of June. The queens then rested from their labors, and honey being plenty the workers filled up nearly all the brood combs with honey, and very few after-swarms came ofil But the season advanced too fast for the black bees, whose natural swarming time Is from the latter pare of May to the middle of June, the brood cells were rapidly filled with honey, leaving no empty ones for the accommodation of the queen, and hence very few!'swarms came from the black colonies." I opened strong hives to get bees to make nuclei on the lath of April. They had their queen cells run out, with larva in them, and we had swarms in April this season. I made artificial swarms on the 18th of April to start queen cells, and they did well. One of the old col onies that I removed to a new stand, after having taken out one-third of its combs and bees, and all the obi workers returning to the old stand, still made me sixty pounds of surplus honey ; anti I sold the hive after the luiney season was over for fifteen dollars. I do not let many swarms come off naturally. I make artificial swarms by controlling my colonies and directing their labors to honey gathering, instead of encouraging their swarming propen sities. When I see any of my colonies that are likely to swarm, I open their hive and take out two frames contain ing hatching brood, with all the adher ing bees, leaving the queen in the old hive. I set these combs in a new hive, and go to two or three other colonies and take two combs from each of them, set ting them in the new hive, with the frames first removed. Do this In the eve ning, or, If you separate in the morning, always set them in a dark cellar till lute in the evening, and then let them out. When you go to unite the frames al ways blow smoke on them for a short time and the bees will unite with dist.. iressing each other. lean take out a frame or two of brood once in awhile, and thereby control the swarming In almost all cases, and have my bees store honey during the' whole of : . the honey season. And by taking' out the frames front the centre of the hive, the bees are stopped from storing honey, but are rather incited to labor the harder. \V hen you let Ail lye swarm naturally you nearly destroy the honey storing of 0143 colony for that season. But by controlling swarming you will stop tile storing of honey, checking it very little indeed, while you add one-fourth or one-third to the number of your stock, and have all good strong colonies In the Fall. By taking their old mood combs from the old hives at that season of the year, the colony will in almost all cases build new:tVorker-combs ; and by get ting the new ill the centre of the hives your old stocks will be much healthier and more vigorous. Always notice if you have a last year's swarm equally strong with an old colony in the Spring, that the former will generally be first to swarm.: I see by the Jourtat/ that the ladies are taking some interest in the cultiva tion of tees.

It is not t; :luso I—perhaps it is not unnatura!--•for un ho lia.s been only a "practical" fart-, , all his life, to dis courage the idea Coat 4,:icrwe can be of assistance to hint, and tAi doubt its value. Perhaps his objection would be less if he appreciated the exact meaning of the word. Webster ga;es it four definitions: "(1) Knowledge.;xenetratingand corn prehensive information, skill, expert ness, and the like. (21 The, compre hension and understanding of truth or facts. (3) Truth ascertained; that which Is known. (.1) Knowledge duly ar ranged; and ieferred to general truths or principles on which it is founded and from which it ie derived." Now, surely no farmer will deny the value of knowledge—a knowledge of his own business. lie must know bow and when to perform the various operations of the farm, and if he knows also the reasons why they are necessary, he will be better able to exercise a sound judg ment concerning them. The more pen etrating and comprehensive his knowl edge is, and the greater his skill and ex pertness, the inure cheaply and the more effectively will his work be dope. The more comprehension and under standing of the truths on which his suc cess depends, and of the facts which daily arise iu his management of his business, the better farmer will he be. Truth ascertained, that which is known, is "Book Farming"—that is to say, the knowledge that we get from books and agricultural papers is nothing more nor less than the recorded knowledge (not the fancies)_9l other people. It is an important Wm of the science of farming, that seed, in order to germi nate and produce a crop, must be so put in the soil as to satisfy the conditions of growth. This Much every farmer knows, and to this extent has he acquir ed a scientific understanding of his bus iness. The knowledge is of absolute value to him and to every other farmer, and its value would not be at all lessen ed if he were to write a communication to an editor, Informing him; and his readers of it. If another person were to write that because the germinating plant comes up in a certain way, there fore all farmers ought to plant their grass seed with their fingers, always putting the right end uppermost, this would be neither book farming nor science, nor anything else; hut mere fancy, and a fancy of which every farmer would see the folly. Now, generations of men have been busy in investigating, mainly in the field, everything connected with the operations of practical agriculture. Lit tle by little they have acquired knowl edge, which knowledge has been duly arranged, and so much of it as is well understood has been referred to the gen eral truths and principles on which it is founded and from which it is derived. The knowledge Itself is due mainly to the experience of working farmers ; and cllemists and others, who have made general truths and principles the subject of careful study, have classified and ar ranged It, and given it the form that is generally understood by the word "science." No error, no unproved theory, none of the fancies of dhose who write from imagination rather than from experience, is :t, be 'called either Science or Book- Farming, and it Is unfortunate that so much of our agricultural writing has been done by men who luck experience on the farm. It has given rise to the doubt referral to in our first paragraph, and disco! , get many of our best and most inn gerit working men from seeking ledge, where it is best to be found, in the recorded experience of those who have gone before them. The reali truth Of the matter is that in decrying science farmers (leery knowledge, and a natural deduction from their reasoning would lead them t r withdraw from the management of their farms, because they have some knowledge, and give it over to men who have none whatever. If knowl- edge is essential, and if, as we are told and believe ' " a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," then the more knowledge we get,the better our,chapc es will be.

At the Richmond, Virginia, State Fair, which has just been held, Dr. J. A. Reid took the first premium for but ter, and made the following statement °this method of making it: We cool the milk as soon as possible after it is milked ; a small portion of ice around the pans cools it very soon. The milk Is allowed to stand about twenty four hours before it is skimmed ; and, if properly cooled when first milked, it will not thicken or sour in that time in scarcely any weather In a well-venti -111-13 E .--ASTER WEEKLY INT - RT,T,IGTENCER, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMIWR 15, 1871. lated dairy. We use care in skimming to take only,tbe cream—the lees milk with the.sream The better. The cream is kept in good stone jars, and churned assoon as it begins to sour. We use the barrel churn and pan, fifty to sixty revolntions per minute, with a steady even stroke ; it takes from thirty-five to forty-five minutes to make the butter come. As soon as the granules begin to form, if they are soft or of a whitish, creamy appearance, as they will be if the cream is too warm, we cool down with less until they acquire a proper consis tency. As soon as the churning is fin ished we draw off the buttermilk and press the whey all out of the butter with the paddle; it is then salted at the rate of one ounce of salt to one pound of butter, which is well worked in the butter. It is then set aside for six or eight hours for the salt to dissolve and the butter to cool, when it is thoroughly worked and pressed to get the whey all out of it, and packed down at once In stone jars, using the paddle and packer all the time and never touching it with the hand. An ounce of salt is none too much, as a large portion of it is carried off with the whey in the last working of the butter. As soon as the jar is fill ed a thick coat df salt is put over the top of it, then a piece of paper greased by dipping it in melted suet, cup of but ter is placed over • the top of that, then another fold of paper, and all secured by tying a thick cotton cloth over the mouth of the jar. Butter managed In this way will keep fcbm May until the next Spring perfectly sweet. S. W. Ficklin, of Albemarle county, who took the first premium for hams, stated that he cured them as follows: For each hundred pounds of barns ten pounds salt, two ounces salt-petre, two pounds brown sugar and one ounce red pepper,and from four to four and a half gallons of water, or just enough to cover the hams after being packed iu a water tight vessel (or enough salt to make a brine to float a fresh egg high enough, or out of the water). groin five to six weeks In brine, hang up, smoke and then put In papers and bugged with the hock turned down and hung till want ed. Boil till well done. Reclaiming Swamps. If any swamp lands require plowing, it must be done during the months of August or September. These months include the season fur preparing the ground and sowing wheat, and In case both can not be done, it is often a-ques tion which of them shall he pu The alternative having been in many cases presented year after year, the swamp has generally had the go bv, of ten unadvisably, as we think. A Spring crop or a Summer fallow would often pay better than a crop of Fall grain ; and when the question is presented : Shall that swamp remain forever un productive? The resolution to under take the task would be an eminently wise course, we think, even were the Fall crop to be abandoned for one year. This experience has been passed through by the writer, and no regret ever oc curred at the course taken, which was to bring the ground into profita ble cultivation at all hazards. 1f such land can not be underdrained, it may be brought in by surface draining, to' follows: We suppose the tussocks have been removed, and the coarse grass mowed oft', as either of these would se rlously impede the plowing. The first process is to lay out the ground to be plowed Into lands of such width as the under-drains would be apart when made. If the land is clay, 24 feet should be the distance for the drains, and this should be the width of the lauds. This for the reason that when the drains are dug the open furrows will be the places for them, and these will be already at least one foot below the average surface. To lay out the lands, plow a double furrow, throwing them together, to commence a ridge, at a distance of 12 feet from the edge of the field. Then measure 24 feet, and throw up another ridge, and so ou through the piece to be plowed. As as sistant, armed with a sharp bog-hoe,will be needed to cut (Arany roots that are not severed by the plowshare, and' to help turn the sod into its place. It is often very refractory in this respect, and needs considerable humoring to get it to lie just right. Patience will be found a useful ally. When the lands are all carefully laid out the plowing may be commenced. The assistant will no longer be needed. A deep slice should be taken, and the ridge well rounded up. The open furrows should be plowed out twice, until they are at least twelve inches deep, and the shovel should be used to complete them, throwing out t he loose earth to the center of the ridge. When the lands are all finished, the headlands may be plowed, by going round the piece and throwing a flat furroNV towards the center of the field. The open furrows must then be com pleted through the headlands, by means of spade and shovel, and the earth thrown up, to finish the ridge to the lowest boundary of the field. Here a substantial watercourse should be plowed out, to carry off the flow from the furrows through the field, unless a natural one already exists, when a good connection should be formed therewith. This will complete the operation this Fall. During Winter, lime should be hauled for a dressing of-51) bushels per acre, to be applied early in Spring,after which, as soon as sufficiently dry, the field should be harrowed lengthwise of the ridges, and oats be sown. A bushel of red-top and a peck of timothy should be sown with the oats, of which grain two bushels per acre would be quite sufficient for seeding. This arrangement of lands and fur rows will permit the use of the reaper, and the land will be found sufficiently dry for its use If the furrows be kept open. But we would not advise that such a fiend should be considered fin ished, for, if not underdrained, coarse grass will work iu A part 'of tine pro ceeds of it should be yearly invested in tiles, until the whole field is thoroughly drained. It will then doubtless be found the richest piece of the farm.—Ameri can Agriculturist. The Benefits of Fail-Plow lag. That the plowing of heavy soils in the Fall is attended with excellent results is generally admi Red. That any benefit accrues to soils of a lighter texture, is questioned by many agriculturists, with whom we do not altogether agree. All admit that I he tenacious character of a clay-soil is reduced, and its texture opened and rendered less compact, by the operation of frost. The lumps fall apart, and are disintegrated by the mechanical effect of the expansion in the act of freezing of the water held between the particles. The field, which at the commencement of Winter ex hibited only a surface of shapelesslelods, in the Spring is seen to have been brought into a condition of mellowness which no amount of plowing or har rowing could have effected. But Is this the full effect of the forces of nature, HI operate in small things as per fectly as greater? The power which has forced asunder the clods, and re duced them to fragments, has also had an effect upon those fragments them selves, and has reduced them to parti cles-so small, that the solubility of the soil has been increased. Thus another effect besides a mechanical one has been produced ; or rather the op eration of mechanical force has brought about conditions under which chemical action can more readily take place. Now, can we be lieve that this result only occurs in the case of clay-soils? If this should be so, then, as there is a variety of such soils, the effect must be proportioned to the nature of the soil. I f a clay-soil is bene fited, Is not also a clay-loam? And if a clay-loam, why not a sandy-loam? If the particles of a clay-soil are render. ed more soluble by this exposure to the frosts of Winter, and those particles are mainly alumina and silica, how can another soil altogether escape similar effects, when only the proportions in which those constit uents are combined are changed. But we are told that clay-solls are absorbent, while more silicious soils are more or less leachy, and part with their fertile properties by the percolation of water through them- Then, if this were true, a light or sandy soil would in course- o time be washed free from all fertilizing properties. But this is not the case with these soils. They can be im proved by the addition of manure until their characters are changed ; the added color and other qualities are not washed away. If this idea of leachiness, then, is unfounded, no harm, but only bene fit, can result from plowing such soils in the Fall. They will experience as much improvement in one sense as a heavier clay soil. The reduction of hard lumps is not necessary, for these soils are naturally mellow, but an in creased solubility will have been gained. But one other benefit must not be for gotten here, which is, that deeperplow ing is permissible in the Fall, and six months' exposure to the sudden changes from frost to thaw will bring the hith erto unused soil lute condition for as sisting to bear crops. We do not ad vise the plowing of sod at this season, at least not furs corn crop. This should be postponed until the last possible day in the Spring, consistent with - having the ground prepared in time. But for roots or oats, or other Spring crops than corn, we would plow now and manure through the Winter, when a mellow and rich soil some inches in depth' will be ready to be. stirred again early in the Spring; and this we would do Irrespec tive of the quality of the soil, whether it . be clay or a light loam. Potatoes plant. ed in a gravelly loam thus prepared, have with us given double the yield of those in ground not so treated. Oats, too, have been benefited greatly, but the result with corn was unfavorable, main ly, we believe, on account of the. greater development of weeds, which prevented the crop from being kept clean. We have not adverted to the economy of time resulting from having the ground plowed before Winter, and ready for a second plowing early in Spring ; but this is a point worthy of attainment under any circumstances. - Farm opera tions depend very much for their suc cess on "taking time by the forelock," and keeping work well pushed forward; and to have all the stubbles plowed be , fore frost sets in, must be a comfort to any farmer.—Arnerican _Agriculturist. Poultry-House Every farmer should have a good, con venient poultry-house, properly con structed, sutliclently large to contain the number of birds he desires. It should be warm and dry in the Winter, well ventilated, and kept scrupulously clean. The house should not be over-crowded, but just large enough. Nothing Is made by over-crowding the hennery; on the contrary, it will prove detrimental. The fowls must be fed regularly and at stated periods. They must have plenty of pure water at hand at all times—this is of as mucltimportance to the, health of the brood as proper food. If .possible, they should also be given, in addition, a plat of grass for a run. Place within the hennery a dust heap; this may consist of wood or coal ashes, sand, or dust from the streets. It should be kept under a cover, so that it will not beceme drench ed with rain or snow, and to it the fowls should have access at all times, to dust, and thereby rid themselves, in a great degree, of the numerous parasites which infest them.—Poultry Standard. 1100PLANIY8 B.ITT.EiLS PINE MILLION OF LIVES SAVED!
