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.
