maybe observed but yet, perhaps, au
strange as the 'Wonders of old mythology.
In the terOporaiy lull of the exhibition,
jait as if the powers that be were gather

d correspondent of the Counlry
- Clebaeman states he has found, by
104 experience, that the' best grain
feed for horses is corn, oats and
shorts, ot each one-third, the first,
two to be ground finely, and the shorts
to be.well mixed in.. The hay, or
bay and straw, were cut fine-and wet
twelve hours before feeding, and the
meal was thoroughly mixed with the
bay at the time of wetting, so that
all could become thoroughly soften
ed and prepared for digestion. His
horses Were 'uniformly healthy and
in good condition at all times. The
Adams Express Company feeds its'
horses a little oil meal 'once or twice
a week in nddittion to- the mixture
of corn and oats. This is done to
help the grooms keep the horses'
coats glossy at all times, saving much
time in rubbing and brushing.,
The systems of feeding adopted by
,several street .railway and carrier
companies in Manchester, Enslitnd,
are as follows : The feed varied from
14) ta.1.1 pounds of cut hay, or hay
and straw, and 16 to 20 pounds of
grain, for each horse,. daily.. Their
horses are ail heavy, powerful dray
horses, and, of course, need more
feed than lighter ones used here. The
grain feed was composed of maize,
beans and wheat bran, hi. the propor
tion of three pounds of corn to one
of each of theothers, all finely ground
and mixed. The bay and straw were
chaffed and Vet; and the meal mixed
in some time before feeding. No
horse beans are grown Litre, but oats
and shorts are a good substitute for '
beans and bran. -
An old stage-driver of long exper

Fowls in Orchards.
Last fall we visited an orchard
in which fowls *ere kept, the owner
of which told as that before the fowls
were confined in it the trees made
little or no growth, anti only a cor
responding amount of fruit was pb- .
tained. But what a change wasevi
dent now! The grass was kepi doWn,
the weeds killed, and the trees pre
sented an appearance of thrift, which
the most enthusiastic horticulturist
could not but admire and envy. The
gronth of the trees was _Most vigor
ous; and the foliage remarkably lux:
nrient,;,: the fruit was abundant,' of
large' size;and free from worms and
I otherimperfections, The excellence
was 4e4:ount,o for by the proprketor,'
who' rerfiarkhd 'that the "hens ate all
the worms and eurculio in their reach,
even the canker-worm." He found
legs trouble with their 'roostin g in
trees than he expected, and' that a
picket fence six feet. high .kept them
within bounds, His orchard was di
vided into three sections, and the
fowls' were changed froin one to an
other, as the conditiOn of the, fowls

The Hari,lest Honey.
Our honey Iliarvest usually- corn-
Inences about June tioth; and closes
froth Ju ly 20th to August 10th, uti
les* we get a yield of 'buckwheat ho
ney, and, in that caseit closes about
September Jet. We !almost always
have a period of nearly two weeks
scarcity between the white. honey
harvest and buckwheat. The 4th of
July is the earliest we ever took off
any box honey, we telieve, so we
will suppose that our swarming is all
'one up by the time this reaches
you, and we are ready to look after
the boxes. ' ,If you did not forget to
put your bo'xes which were nearly
full of comb in - the centre,' on tiop of
-each hive, you will now - only need to
look after those to ascertain if -any
are MAO come - off, as those will cer
tainly be the first • finished. To do
this; get. your smoker, gently pry the
cases apart with .a stout kiife,, bid*.
in.a little smoke - so-the beeS , 4lll get
out of the way, and you can see. if
they are completed. - If they are,
pry the cases off a little at the bot
tom, and then lift out gently. the
' , c.ase:holding the finished boxes, and
give it a quick shake, as you would
a' fraine, to dislodge the bees from it.
Shake the bees off at the entrance-so
they may readily - enter the
. hive, ,
re
move the boxes from the ease, and
r shake off from ett - Ch separate box the
few bees that way still cling to the
honey ; fill the ;;ase with empty box
es provided with starters, and put it
in place. again on the hive. Set your
honey in your wheelbarrow or cart
' which you have to carry the honey
to the honey-room with 4 ..anci, go on
to the next hive, and so on until the
apiary is One over. There is little
danger of zobbing at this season, but
if the bees seem disposed to follow
Your honey, keep it covered, with a
sheet. •
In a week start 'over the apiary
the second time, and so keep 'going
over it once aiveek, being sure that
all -filled boxes are removed, and
thus your honer,will be nice :Ind the
combs as white as snow. If you .use
side bores, raise the partly filled
ones from the sides and put them in
place of the full boxes, taken otf,
and place the ,empty ones at the
sides. We usually place but one
tier of boxes at the sides, and then
.when the bees get well at work in
them, push them ont and place, the
other tier between theta and the side
of the hive, thus inciting the bees to,
greater activity. As the season
draws to a close, 'we raise the side
boxes to the top and close the sides
with the followers, so as to get - all
boxes commenced in filled,:if. possi
ble. With the top box hives, we
crowd the partly filled ones r together,
placing the empty boxes on the out
side instead of the centre, as at first.
It usually takes us - four dayS to go
over the apiary in the height 'of the
season, leaving us two days- to look
after our nuclei, and attend to the
many duties which devolve on the
apiarist.
Store your honey in a small, tight
room, placed on scantling, so that
the fumes from burning sulphur can
enter or pass between each box, so
as to kill the larvm of the wax moth,
which always appear to a greater or
lewxtent, burning three-quartera of
a pottpd of sulphur to every two hun
dred cubic feet contained in the
room. To best do. this your scant
ling should be raised at least a foot
from the floor, and a kettle with
some, coals in it placed beneath.
Pour on the sulphur, close the room
tight, and leave it for fifteen mini
utes t .when it should be opened to let
the smoke out, for if it settles on the
combe.it-will give them a greenish
tint, or if you burp more than the
above amount it will , turn the -combs
green. We have found it a nice
point to burp just enough sulphur. ;
if you use too much it hurts the
looks of the honey, and if too little l
all the worms are not killed. • Burn
your sulphur , two weeks after the
boxes are , retrioved from the hives,
as the eg g's, are generally all hatched •
by that time, and if you store -all in
the same room sulphur once in two
weeks till the last. is off. Yourlioney
should be assdrted, as piled, into
about three grades—first, second and
third quality. Put nothing but co.
I in tbefirst, the colored combs and
the mixed in the second, and the
buckwheat in the third. By this
is-ay you wilt he saved trouble when
you come to- crate for market. In
short, have an eye to businets, as
this month is the , harvest time for
beekeepers in most= localities, and
leave no ,stone unturned that will
give yon.. a pound more honey. --G.

First Year of Heifers.
Air. C. P. Clarkson., speaks- frord
his own experience in the agricultu

when he. says 1" it is too often:the
case that farmers let . their ;heifers,
with their first calf run together in
the pasture the firat year, for the rea
son that-they do . not generally gi;. - e
a larger quantity of -milk, thin will

heifer is intended for service e; - . ;

running with her : calf 'it will suck
every hour or. two and her bag will
shrink tojust that capacity. They..
must be cultivated to large capacity,
'at the proper period of the . heifer),
Therefore, as soon as there is nO•
danger of inflammation of -the udder
from the milk remaininglinjt twelve
hours, the calf should be weaned.
But the heifer should 4 not be remov

not see and smell it. The natural
