gjtgrintUuntl Honey Bees- One of the most interesting rural pur suits is that of keeping honey bees, either for amusement or profit The nature, or what may be called the domestic economy, of this insect is truly wonderful, when in vestigated in a scientific manner. There are three classes of bees, the queen, the drones, and the workers. There is never but one queen in a family oi bees, however large, except young- embryo queens, at certain seasons, propagated to issue with swarms. The deadly enmity ex isting between these female sovereigns is so great, that if, by any chance, no swarm is thrown off before these young queens mature, (the old sovereign always issues with the first swarm,) the old queen de stroys the young ones as soon as they ap pear. Indeed, when it becomes evident to her-—and she knows whether she will, or will not go oil' with a swarm —that no swarm can safely issue, she falls on the embryo queens in their cells, and destroys them. It", on the other hand, she does is sue with a swarm, the exit takes place a short time before the young queens are de veloped, and in eight or nine days a second swarm will issue, if at all, accompanied by one of the young queens. Sometimes two, or even three young queens will issue with the second swarm, if several have left their cells ; but a fight takes place, imme diately 011 being hived, for the mastery,and the oldest and strongest is usually victo rious. No contlict takes place between young queens in the parent hives till swarm ing is over, when but one remains as mis tress of the family, after slaying the weak er ones. It is estimated that from 20,000 to 30,- uOO bees are produced in a hive in a single season ; aud the eggs from which they are hatched are all laid in about six weeks by the one reigning queen. Her fecundity is astonishing, depositing an egg in each cell, at the rate of 500 to TOO a day, which in bulk are ten times the size and weight of the queen herself ! The eggs seem to be produced in an inexhaustible supply, as fast as deposited by her. The drones are a class ol bees which seem to many persons to be quite useless ; aud without them the total destruction of all apiaries would soon ensue. .Some seasons no drones appear, and in such cases, as a general rule, no swarms are thrown oil* The bees are possessed ol an intuitive foreknowledge of events, and actually know in advance, whether the sea son is, or is not to be favorable for the storing of honey. If quite unfavorable, no drone cells are constructed ; and, of course no drones are bred, and no swarms issue. These insects know that in a poor season for gathering honey, a division of their numbers into separate families may be fa ta! to their existence, as the larger the number of bees in a hive, in a season of famine, the less is the risk of starvation. The drones are the male bees, yet nature causes thousands to be produced, where scores or hundreds might suffice ; yet as a day lost by a single young queen in her {light to meet the drones, high in the air, is of more consequence than the feeding of a thousand drones for that day, (they gather no honey,) it is one of the wonderful pro visions of the insect that so many drones are brought into existence, that the young queen, in taking her only flight, seldom re mains over two hours, and returns fructi fied for life. The workers are the laborers of the fam ily. They build the combs, gather the pol len, and at the proper time feed it to the young bees. They have away of commun icating intelligence almost instantly thro' the hive, and always know whether their queen is safe, or is missing. If she he sud denly removed, it may not be noticed by them for a few minutes ; but in less than half an hour all labor will cease, and an up roar will ensue that can be heard at the distance of a rod front the hive. If in case of the removal of a queen, no eggs nor larva; exist in the hive, no more honey will he gathered by the workers, as they know that their doom, as to future prosperity, is sealed ; but if eggs or larva; exist, after 24 hours of effort made to find their queen, they quietly proceed to make their loss good, by rearing another queen, the man ner of doing which being one of the most wonderful features of their economy, and which will require a separate article to il lustrate fully. Farmer Slack- We have a word to say to you, Farmer Slack—but so many of you answer to this name, that we shall have to speak quite loud to make you all hear. Well, we will talk to one of you, and the rest will then understand what we would say to all. You say that it is hard times, and lii.it you can't afford to subscribe for au agri cultural paper. Now, you know, or ought to know, better than that. Money has never before been so plenty among farmers since the landing of our forefathers at Plymouth Rock, and it is nothing but sheer laziness and slackness in your business that keeps you so poor. You are constantly behind time in all you attempt to do. Last spring, your neighbors' oat crops were growing fresh and green, before your oat land was plowed. It was about the same with your potatoes and corn ; and how can you expect a good crop with such manage ment ? Knt you arc not only too late in planting, but you don't half cultivate your crops, when they are up and growing. We took a long look at your corn yesterday, and we found the weeds the tallest and the mps : thrifty. Your hired man was under the fence asleep, with his hoc by his side, and he said you had gone off to a horse race ! Now, this wretched management is what makes hard times with you ; and unless you amend your ways, you and your whole family will wind up in the Poor House ! I'an't afford to take an agricultural paper, at $,50 or $2 a year ; Why, sir, you would have saved three dollars, at least, if you had stayed at home yesterday, attended to your corn, and kept your man at work, as you should have done. \\ e hear that you generally lose about half of your poor crops, iu consequence of your not having good fences ; and it is a wonder that you do not lose all of them, if the fence between your corn and pastun lot is a sample of your other fences. There is not a good strong rail in the whole of it. We also notice that your plows, cultiva tor, horse-rake and wagons are left in the road, to be ruined, the timber cracking in the hot sun, and the rains causing them to decay. Men who read agricultural papess don't manage their affairs in this way.— They don't expect that all that is published in such papers will apply to every farmer's ease ; but they tind a great deal of infor mation in them that is useful, and they learn how the best, and most successful farmers, all over the country, cultivate their lands, and a single article is often worth the subscription price for many years, to progressive farmers. Now, Mr. Hack, you say that you have been a farmer 30 years, and you think that yu know a great deal about tanning ; and to be plain with you, that is what's the matter. You know too much, in your own estimation ; and the country is full of just such men as you, who never become rich, or even comfortable in circumstances. Their wives drag out a miserable existence, and their children grow up ignorant, lousy and ragged, and the result is, that they be come a disgrace to humanity, and all be cause their father was to wise to subscribe for a good rural paper, which would, if its precepts were acted upon, cause such fam ilies to live in opulence, while their sons would become, perhaps, members of Con gress, and their daughters married to the best men of the laud. farmers' Sons- When a farmer's son leaves home to be come a clerk in some villag-e or city store, or to engage in some other business, in three cases in lour lie takes the first step towards his pecuniary ruin. Occasionally, a young man thus gets into a business, in which he becomes a partner, or owner, and makes money ; but such cases are rare. Let us suppose a ease. A young man hears of the high salaries clerks get in New York, $1,500 a year in some cases, and he gets the New York " fever," and taking SSO in his pocket, he bids his pa rents farewell, and leaves them in high spirits. When lie gets to the city, he inquires for a boarding house ; he applies to several, and finds the price of board from $b to $lO a week—the cheapest, with fare he would nut be satisfied with at home, being about $6. He takes board at this rate, and be gins to look for a situation—sees adver tisements in the papers for clerks, but a hundred got the start of him, some of whom write splendid hands : and, of course, they get the situation, In a lew weeks his money is all gone, and he writes home for more ; and the re sult generally is, that alter spending from SIOO to S2OO, and "seeing the elephant," lie comes home disgusted with city life, and is willinsr to stick to the farm, or await a new outfit for a second trial for success. Such an aspirant for money-making has his ardor somewhat cooled when he learns of city merchants, that they pay green hands only about enough to board them ; say, from S3OO to SSOO for smart, active clerks, front 18 to 25 years old. The rule is to increase salaries front SSO to SIOO a year, till clerks become fully acquainted with the business, when some few—the most efficient, perhaps one in a hundred, gets a salary that enables them to lay up a little money, if they are economical. If, however, we should turn to the his tories of most young men, who leave good homes to obtain situations in cities, we should find that ninety-nine in a hundred failed to realize their anticipations, and have died poor, or are now living on less means yearly than a good farm affords, while their lives are a continued current of cares that render life anything but happy. In our younger days we had practical experience in this matter, and left New York with it shattered constitution,brought on by close application to business, with out a compensatory reward for the loss of health, and to escape a premature grave we lied to the country, there to get a new lease of life by tilling the soil. Here are a few remarks on the forego ing subject, which we clip from the Rural World : The sonsol farmers commonly think their lot is a hard one. Unlike most city youths, they are compelled to perform daily toil. Their life is not one of constant amusement. They cannot see and hear as much as their city cousins. They do not dress in us fine clothes—cannot treat and be treated at the popular saloons, or visit the costly gamb ling resorts which abound in every city. They feel that their lot is indeed a hard one, and the highest ambition of many of them is, to arrive at that age when they can go to the city and see all the sights. But let us talk to our farmers' boys. You j are in the right place. You are learning j habits of industry and frugality. By your | daily toil you tire acquiring a sound con j stitution—a most important matter. And i this is one of the reasons that our great I men have all come from farmers' sons.— ; They have grown up robust, with constitu i tions that could endure a great amount of I mental labor, which youths from the city, I with weak and feeble frames, could not istand. if you cannot see as much as city youths, | neither are you exposed to the vices and temptations of the city life, which prove the destruction of nearly all raised in the j city. You are then on the right track—go l ahead. Resolve to form no bad habits. Indulge in no intoxicating drinks. If you | form a love for them, it is almost impossi ; ble to subdue it. Do not acquire the habit of chewing or smoking tobacco, or taking snuff. Read good books ; let no opportu nity for improvement pass away neglected, i and you will grow up useful, intelligent ' men. SALT IN FATTENI NO SWINE.—A correspon dent states some interesting experiments to test the use of salt in fattening swine He selected two pairs of harrow hogs, weighing 2Dti lbrs. apiece. One pair re ceived, with their daily allowance of food, two ounces of salt ; the other pair, simi larly fed, none. In the course of a week, it was easily seen that the salted pair had a much stronger appetite than the others, | and after a fortnight it was increased to 1 two ounces apiece. After four months, the weight of the salted hogs was 350 lbs. each, while that of the uusalted, five weeks later, reached only 300 lbs. The experi ment was repeated with almost precisely the same results. The correspondent feeds j young pigs according to their age, a quar ter of an ounce daily ; breeding sows very little during pregnancy, and timing the heat of summer withholds it in a degree from all, as it induces thirst and a liability to disease.— -Selected BLEEDING HOGS. —A recent writer says : " Bleeding is a remedy for most of the dis eases to which the hog is liable, and one of the best places to bleed a hog is in the roof of the mouth. He objects to bleeding from the artery inside the fore-arm just above the knee, because it is more difficult to stop the flow of blood there than in the roof of the mouth. In the latter place it is stopped by applying a cloth well saturated with cold water. WHEN teams have little to do, and la borers are at leisure, haul spent tan-bark and deposit in some dry place, for littering stables next winter. Dry tan-bark is an excellent absorbent of liquid manure, and it will pay to haul it, as well as sawdust, one or two miles. In summer it can usu ally be obtained readily. In autumn it is sometimes scarce. THE hop crop in Wisconsin is said to be unpreeedently large this year. It is valued at $2,000,000. THE cotton crop throughout the South is said to be seriously injured by the worm. <£lotl)ing. goLO MO N A* SON', No. 2 Pattern's Block, To wail da, Pa., Invite attention of the public t- their New Stock ot FALL AM) WIXTEH GLOTHING.
