•
-4.-ty of Italian Bees, in one of our e 0
'changes, from which we make the ,
,follawing extracts: "Alter an exile ,
rience of eighteen years in breeding
bees I have never Seen, until the past
season, a qtieen whose • workers i• and
drones exhibited uniformity in the
yellow bands of the first, and thi;
mottled hues of the second ; together
With that.. .constant and never-failing
glossy - golden color of the young
queens—ivithouti black tips or speck
of blemVl--L•so ...much admired' and
coveted, by every,lover ofthe beauti
ful ia the . apiary. And yet .I salt
'the originals of the first importation
--owned one ofthem—and several of
the litter Ones,' -directly from thOr
native 'habitation. T one . these
queens prOduced dron es or queeni.of
uniform color, although I am relia
bly' informed that_ many instances
have ,been knotin .in Italy. where
bright yellow queens have uniformly
. produced ff royal ..daughters . exactly
like the mother, althOugh the rule
with indifferent colored queens was
quite the reverse.. That the workers
- of some dark queens will bear the
broad
. yeilow bands ofthe best, and
show, - with other 'stocks bred - l - from
• the same / parentage, a kindly distio
sition, while the latter exhibit 'dark
er bands, or a narrow stripe, is no
. proof of purity: of the queens, .buft
. quite the :ontrary. What then ! are
the tests of purity ? I answer, color,
mainly; disposition, nest. The form
of the Worker be 6, also, to the praC- .
used eye, goes a gO s od way, but it is
quite useless to' thernovice. if I were
to select for myself from an unknown_
stock of so called Italian bees
would take only those having queens
of pure bright yellow, whose workers
exhibited . the broadest and brightest
y' llow lands ; and if drones abound
I, would have a particular eye to such'
of the young of these. as ;had not yet
I; come of age ; or had taken
and see to it that- they were all
_ Frightly_marked, and every one ex-.
ti , .; I - 3- like hik brother. If any of these
ikist emerging from their cells looked
dubiously dark, I -would pass them
ty, no !natter how bright yellow the
~queen, or what the workers might.be.
if a few dark or Oren black drones
should be f iund that had evidently
tiken wing, and black or hybrid bees
':were, anywhere about, the hare tact
darkrones' being found in an
otherwise standard colony would noti
'he conclilsive against the stock, or
that thes e drones are the progeny of
tlis yellow queen, by any means, for
the reasQn that the drones are, so to
ileir cornets,' and r tiable.to be
found frequenting the 'wrong fold.,
••
or is the disposition to sting uponl
slight provocation conclusive of im- ,
purity of blood, although it is true
that tile pure Italian is:less liable to
get up on his ear,' or'yours, than
his black congener. But-this is so
much a-matter of education of the
bees 'l)y their bee-master who has
them in charge that not much stress
should be placed irpOti- that, unless
ppteed, you knoW how they 'have
en handled, for 11., i 4 comparatively
easy matter . to get a man, beast,
or honey-bee to 'go for' an intruder."

Austrian . physiologist, has. eon

of saki of lime 'which transport the

• 3lanydirector' have enquired alter their
appropriation, within the - Lsst few weeks
wondering at not receiving it.
The Superintendent by request of di
rectors has written to the bepartment to
knowwliether or not ere is any special
cause Tor delay, and pi yet . answet
comes. " • • 1
•
The Department imp the appropriation
in the order the Animal Reports are re
ceived at Harrisburg, and undoubtedly
thetdelay is in eases where the Secretary
was late in forwaiding to County Super=
intendent the Reports; for the Reports
have been promptly sent on to Harrisburg.
*r. A 4 B. Cranmer, Secretary of Mon
roe Board, iwbo is one of the most prompt
in the county, says the, appropriation for
that town is always received at a very
early date. The Uppiopriation for that
township w as received this rear long be
fore some Boards bad made' the Annual
Report. One Report was -sent by the
Board in, September . r To.prevent any de
lay nest' year let the members of the
Boards so keep the accounts, and manage
the business of the District that at the or
ganization of the neat Board, the first
meeting isi June next, the Annual Report
may be signed by the proper officers, and
at once forwarded to the County Superin
tendent. -
Why cannot-Bradford County - rank first
in this regard ? I '

SCHOOL 4vrs.--Bunerintendent Wilt
was informed during his term that no More
copies of the School Likv could be furnish-.
ed before the winter of 1818-79. ,
Many directors are asking
,fot. copies,
and a letter has been sent to the iDepart
meat asking for a supply for this county.
The Superintendent his held twenty-one
examinations during the present fall, and
has one more to hold, November 23d.
When , the examinations shall have been
completed, about 550 teachers will have
been examined, of whom probably some
thing over 400 willihave received certifi
cates. Many of those receiving certill-
cates are too poorly qualified, -but it has
been necessary to permit them to teach
in order to have enough to fill our schools
and have a reasduable surplus: More.
than enough to 1,14.p1y the schools have
received certificates. There are from 75 .
to 100 others who bold professional, per
manent or Normal School certificates,
making a total of 500 teachers for our 400
schools.
Many teachers havereglected to apply
for examination,,llch \is surely no fault
of the examinerir4oliki glady license
any number w4ol . ove to ue properly
qualified.
The object of Superintendent thus
far has been to induce teachers\o become
better qualified and have better eaCterts,
by producing and using the best methods,
by systematic, patient self-culture, - 42 by
attending schools.
Doubtless there area few who though
lesSly I ask
. for private examination, en- 1
dorsemeut, or certificates for .riends with
out examination, who do not consider
that, if impar7l and true - to his oblig a -.
tions, a Superi tendent must refuse, but
there is a large 'class of Chronic grumblers
who selfishly arid willtully persist in such
demands, occasionally one who would
bribe or bull4lo6e.
have indivtdual refusals, all may ex
.
pect in the future as in the past, .that no
partiality or neglect of duty will knowing
ly be permitted. To give all an opportu
nity for examination two special examina
tions have been advertised—Troy Nov.
16th, and Towanda Nov. 24d.
The Teachers' Association at Monroe
ton NtArember oth, was a very successful
one, and chlcidedly profitable to ail pres
ent-- The same may be said of all the
sessions during past year. To the retiring
President, J. Andrew Wilt,, is the credi t
largely duo. -
At the time of his election as President
lie was not engaged in teaching, yet was
a regular attendant and worker in the As
iociation, gins manifesting his interest in
the cause of education. We- should like
to see some old teachers of our county
elected President of this organisation, but
they need never expect such recognition
unless regular attendants at the sessions.
A number of the younger teachers of our
- county came from the most distant town
ships during very unpleasant weather, to
attend the last meeting—one toe lite for
the stage walked a number of miles.
These teachers are among the most sue-,
cessful, and they certainly are among the
best qualified as their papers at the last
examination plainly show: .They realize
that the Association is a power for good,
and that it is the duly of each teacher to
aid and encourage it by attending and
striving to become better prepared to win
success. Such teachers will find a way
through any obstacles to obstacles to sue
cess or make it.
We aro aware that, in many - eases,
there are difficulties that prevent attend
ance,, but with far too many the, way is
'plain and easy enough, but the with is
wanting.
Ma. Enrron :—During the summer Va
cation; the Eureka Liquid Slating, with
which we w e e covering the blackboards
of the institiite, gave out before the
boards were covered, Mr. Jamei Platt,
who was paintin g thel building at -tll
time, Made a piepatation which was put
on the.setuaining boadii. -Thus far. they
have answered 'us the f.ame purpose as
those covered with the liquid slating. At
the request of Superintend pt Ryan and
several teachers, I 1141blish the recipe as
given me by Mr. Platt, in the Rlueation
al Column, for the benefits of directors
who are - repairing, or constructing \ black
boards :
. ,
"With one pound of Drop Black ground
in oil, this one-half pint of turpentine aid \
one-half pint of boiled oil ; and about one
half tea-cup full of Japan dryer. Will co
ver five or six yards of surface one coat,
depending on the state of the board."
I give also the address of a firm which
