.Controlling the Sex of 'Bees. •
It has long been believed that the sex of
bees can be controlled by changing the posi
tion of the comb, Thus the usual position Of
'the drone cells, and also of the worker
j horizontal : but if, after the eggs for the
!tvorkers—which are neutral in sox—have
Stan deposited, the cells be artificially chang
ed from the horizontal to a vertical position,
females or queens will be produced. It is
, riow .claimed as a discovery made by :llr.
:-::-Sainuel-Wagner, of York, Pennsylvania, that
• the sex of bees is also controlled by the size
.of the cells.—Accoriling to a statement set
forth by a recent writer, the manner in which
the bees proceed to made a, queen, when a
queenless hive is supplie With commen
worker cells and erS, is US f4)ll9llri :—Tney
gnaW the partitions of three cells away, and
remove two of the eggs ; the remaining one,
Trim hatched, is fed with a substance termed
by apiarians which, according
to experiments recently perfected, is elabora
ted in the stomach of the working bee;i, and
Ynis-the peculiar property of stimulating and
hastening the development. of the insect,
which, when grown, proves to be a queen.—
Whereas, the. remaining eggs, including those
laid within the same minute as the one chosen
for a larger development, are not, hatched -
until five days after. If the cgs; which is
chosen for elevation should prove, from want
of others younger, to be more 01 1 1...ta Tour or
five days old, the process wiii - Wa failure,
Soaking Clover Seed,
Many Farmers who sow Clover, Seed defor
it to so late a period in the Spring that the
surface of the earth has become too dry to af
ford sufficient moisture to cause the seed to
vegetate readily ; and that portion that finally
grows the plants are so small and weak that
they have-not sufficient depth of root to with
stand the 'burning sun of Spring, and finally
perish. This is the case with :arge portion
of the Clover Seed that is sown%
A writer in the Rural New Yorker, who
has practiced snaking his seed for a period of
twelve hours in weak brine, and then rolling
it in Plaster of Paris before sowing, finds that
by comparing the result with seed sown in:the
usual way, in parts Of - the same field, great
advantages are gained by the practice, Ile
says the nest Spring you eau see the differ
ence in favor of the soaked seed as far as you
could see the lot, nod it continued to produce
more and better Clover until he ploughed' it.
Ile has continued the practice over since, and
has not mit;sed. a crop since, though the lust.
seasonswere dry.
In preparing the seed - it is placed while in
the bag - into some vessel large enough to give
it room to swell, and an hour to two befbre
using it is taken out of the water to drain ; -and
therirolled in planter. The soaking and plaster
add to the weight, and enable the farmer to
sow it much more evenly, espoeiaUy if the
weather is windy. •
As the present season is backward and •
Clover Seed is 'scarce and dear, the p'an of
soaking the seed is worthy of trial. On most
soil pla-ner—is-the best application that cats
be Made, ; and when appliod directly to the
seed it receives an important stimulus just at
the period when it-is most needed.

Table 1)1', Magoon,
of this eity, ro,:.ently lecturing on “Mind your
Bir-dness.." tells a good anecdote of a young
New Yorker a=mt, while out West, wont to
call'op.).i a young maiyind his wife, who 'vent
out, there to.settlo from Now York city several
years previous. no found hint in a small
neat cottage, and, just taking his lirtnikfaSt.
The introduction of the New Yorker to his
wife was quite of and unceremonious,
and he was requested to be seated and par
take of the morning meal. The young wife
had prepared the steak, biscuit and coffee,
.with her own hands, and for a table had used
her kneading board, over which a napkin was
spread, and the ..boartl" placed upon her lap.
On his return home, onmaking his report to
his New York friends US to how he found his
young friend living, he described the style as
oinaguiticent !"—and for explanation of the
superlative he
. said, that were he the owner
m
of that young att'H furniture, he would not
take tea thousand dollars fur the legs of his
table.

people of Adams county and the rest of
the world, that he has received an extra large
supply of all kinds of
MEN'S & BOYS' CLOTHING,

four months, and watch the chances.
'A word to the wise is sufficient. If you
need such Goods as he keeps, go to him and
pur purchasers, to save money..

A Medical Revolution
THE WORLD UNANIMOUS!
Holloway's Ointment. —THE GREAT ('OM..
ALAI TYR IRRITANT !--'the virus of disease of
ten makes its way to the internal organs thro'
the pores of the skin. This penetratidg
ment_melting under the hand as it is rubbed
in,is absorbed through the same channels, and,
reaching the seat of inflammation, promptly
and invariably subdues it, whether located in
the kidneys, the liver. the lungs, or any other
important organ. It pesetrates the surface to
the interior, through' the countless tubes that
communicate with the skin as summer rain
passes into the fevered earth, diffusing its cool
and regenerating influent°.
Skin Diseases and Glandular Aqirellings.
Every species of exterior irritation is quickly
reduced by the anti-inflammatory action of this
Ointment. Angry Eruptions, such as Salt
Rh e um. Erysipelas. Tetter, Ringworm, Scab
Head. Nettle Rash, Scabies (or Itch) &c., die
out, to return no more, under its application.
Hospital experience in all parts of the world
proves its infallibility in diseases' of the skin,
the muscles. the-joints and the glands.
Sores,. and Tumors.
The effect of this unrivaled external remedy
upon Scrofula, and other virulent ulcers and
sores, is almost miraculhus. It first disehargPs
the poison which produces suppuration and
proud flesh. and thus the cures which its heal
ing properties afterward complete are safe as
well as permanent.
Wounds, Bruises. Burns, and Scald * .
In easel of
,the fracture of bones, juju
'ries caused by steam exp!osions, Bruises.
Burns, Scalds, Rheumatism, Stiffness of the
Joints. and contraction of the sinews, it is em
ployed and warmly r,.conunended by the fac
ulty. This marvelous remedy has been intro
duced by its inventor in person into all the
leading Hospitals of Europe, and no private
household should be without it.
fru deuktde Testimony.
The Medical Staff of the French and English
Armies in -the Crimea . have officially signed
. their approval of Holloway's Ointment, as the
most reliable dressing for sabre cuts. stabs,
and gen-wounds. It is also used by the sur
geons of the Allied Navies.
