MN, GUN* AND ROMMOLD • -- seessy Istmerog newer.. The blossoms of a vast number of grasses weeds, grains, shrubs and trees, are visited more or less by bees, for the purpose of collecting honey -ore bee bread, or both. The wort lassweed and the valuable fruit tree, the loyly white clover and the majestic tulip tree, each yield .a tempting offering to the busy little collectors. ' • I propose to mention some of the flowers that seem to yield the most honey in this section, beginning with those, that blossom itst in the spring. The soil maple furnishei the first Woo; some. that amount to much. Two or three pounds per hive of peculiar tuting honey, are often stoned from th em. If bees live till the last of April, when the maple puts forth its leaves and blossoms, there is very little ibufter of their stator ing that season. The cherrycomessoon after the maple, and furnishes the bees abundant and profitable employment. The apple and pear follow soon after, and yield considerable honey, if the weather is pleasant enough to permit the bees to work.- Nearly all that is gather ed from these early flowers is generally consumed in a short time in tearing brood, which is done extens ively at this season, and supporting the bees. Last season Abed occasion to open one of my hives twio weeks after apple blossoms, and i found the -combs well !flied with brood, but there was not more than • pound of honey in the hive.- Mr. King advises bee Veneto to sow a geld of tur nips every year, and harvest only the largest, leaving enough is the ground to nth to seed the next year to make a pas. turn for the bees, between fruit blossoms and clover; but I find that they do not store much from turnips, the seed of which is grown extensively in this see. tion. White clover comes In blossom about the first of Jane, and continues about six weeks. This la the mein reli ance for surplus honey, although the tulp and basswood being in flower at the same time, it is impoodble to determine the yield iflf each, but a hive that caste no swarm ought to give from twenty , five to fifty pounds orsurpha boxthoney during the emboli of white closer. We have a season between clover and buckwheat, when there are very few flowers. • Mr. Quinby says that, hominy places, buckwheat is the main depend ence for surplus honey, but my bees have never filled a single box from it, although there has been an abundance oq it grown In the neighborhood. The mot season I had quite anu o tor of Wires tartly full of clover honey, which I left on the hives, thinking they might befitted from buckwheat, but they con tained rather, It, at-the close of the bubkwheat getoWthan at the beginning. In September we have In this neighbor hood an abundance of golden rod, weed much visited libeesi and Otte this yields considerable 'honey, but other wise a worthless Intruder in neglected pastures and fence corners. After the golden rod and • wild aster. which are asusUy found growing together. go to seed, the Labors or bees are over for the 110118011. I kayo named only. a fsw of the many flowers that yield their tempting eweets to the bunre, so wonderfully adapted by its 1 1 . for its work, but they are Memos; Important ones. There is one thing that I think Is not generally known --ths a bee always gets kis load from one kind of flower; for instance, if a tee 'ls at wink on golden rod, he will net slight on the wild astir, although it may oe close by, and another that is at work on the aster, will not leayo them for say other flower. Whether they visit differ ent kinds of flowers in their different nips, I eat unable to say, but 1 know that they visit only one kind of flower Ina trip. - -.G. F; P., In Country Elena. man.

Apply' the dressing to a `]ear quantity of land, and ger more crops as the result, and with less labor for man and beast.
