Bfk Keeping bt Farmebs. There
ar two reasons w uy farmers bhooid
keep bees : first, because tbeir occu
pancy of land places them in the right
io.nl i tics to improve the whole honey
li-U ; and second, because their occu
pancy of the field entitles them to its
iiarvefct. Cn it be made profitable?
It would hardly be profitable to make
it a principle business ; as au incidental
business it may nfford them a large re
turn for very moderate outlay and tri
fling expense. Four hives of sufficient
pize, with surplus honey recep'acles for
400 ponndsof honey, will cost say twenty
five dollars ; four swarms of bees would,
at five dollars each, cost twenty dollars
making an outlay of forty five dollars.
The first vear they would give, in a
good field and season, 12'J pounds of
t-urpius, more or less, according to the
season, amounting ct thirty cents per
ound at Z'.ii 4". The second wat-on
would yield 500 pounds, or $150
amounting in two seasons tc$lS8.40.
This gives more than fonr times the
cot-t in two seasons ; and the average
ii-r many seasons may equal this, with
no additional expense save the supply
of new honey boxes annually. I gave
the above figures from the results of
Actual experiment having received the
average given above from four hives
the first and second seasons, they being
the two first seasons in which I placed
Fwarms in the Eureka hives, and the
honey was so white end fine that it
brought me thirty cents per pound.
Let me advise my farmer frieuds how
to proceed in this mutter. Get from
one to four hives ; according to your
honey field and faith ; take them to a
bee-keeper, who will place a good first
swarm in each hive ; and remova them
home. Or if the seik'r is pleased to
let them stand till fall, pla?e boxes on
them and let them stand till then. At
the projK-r time in the fall, remove the
boxes and take all home. With Lives
so constructed as to prevent the impo
sition to swarm, and the number lim
ited to the capacity of the field, I have
no doubt thut they Mould sometimes
do better than this," as I have had 200
)tiiid from one hive in one seasou.
Ou this plan, there is little to do but
to place and remove the boxes iu the
proper time, Jf the hive is no con
structed as to give ample room in the
breeding and wintering apartment feed
ing is reudeied unnecessary. If projitr
means are used to give room iu the sur
plus boxes for all the colony the whole
season, before any preparation is made
for swarming aud the hives are effect
ually shaded from the snn. no watching
for swarms will be required ; aud no
time necessarily devoted to them but
to put ou the surplus boxes in season,
uud remove them v. lieu full ; and this
may even be done by a neighbor accus
tomed to the bufriuess, if one is appre
lt.nKiv nf flat. at-r in tir-rformim? these.
or any other operations about the Live. .
Fattf.mso Fowls. Asapenrml rule,
the farmer should not desire that Lis
should be very fat, for there is a kind
of antagonism between r production
and the storing of much fat in the t;s
sues. If it was a nure question of whst
to do with the material, there would
seem to be no renson why a fowl, once
having attained her i'iiU weight, fhould
not then always begin to lay. Fat in
living !eing is generally as foreign to
the system as it it were (tried out and
slotted away iu a pantry ; and yet a
certain pro;rtiou of it emi t. !e the
rule witii all Eiiituals iu their ordinary
health, the amount varying with the
individual. Fowls cannot be made to
fatten when only paitly nintnreci, a few
breeds i xcrpted, for they need mo-t of
thtir bed fur growth, likesparejouths,
vtio eat voraciously and grow prodig
iously, while remaining awkward and
long. This is no reitson why chickens,
intended for the table, should not b
Ceneronsiy fed, for the more they eat
the greater the quantity of their flesh,
of course ; the quality is also much bet
ter. Adult fowls can be fattened upon
i-raiu of various sorts, fed for a change.
JJut as variety not only stimulates tj
jH-tite, bnt aid digestion, a very little
utiimal food of extra nice quality, as
Lice beef's liver, or other butcher's
meut, should be added diiily, and fresh
vegetables also, lint ou no account
give mnch of these Lift, for not only is
jruin c-heaptx und productive of the
l est quality of llesh, but much meat
is tto exciting, and vegetables, fed
freely, keep the bowels too active, and
therefore retard fattening.
l'ori-Tr.T Faeasttts Fowls are in
fested with several hinds of parasites.
There are lice of sufficient bize to lie
readily discoverable, which are found
either beneath the viugs or upon the
head and neck, and very small mites or
tu nri which infest sitting hens so mnch
as frequently to make them leave their
nests, and which also swarm plentifully
n the Louses end tipou the rousts.
The specimens received are of the lat
ter class. They hide in creviceB of the
l.wts cr Louses dcrirg the day, and at
night sully forth to f. ed, which they do
by puncturing the skin and sacking the
blood tf the fowls. There is no diffi
culty in getting rid of uil these pests.
They thrive iu fi'th and aroid neat
qnaiters. If you will thoroughly
cleanse the rl or of the poultry Louse,
lime-wash the walls, Clung up all the
cracks with lime, and removing all
loose boards and cleats, und thoroughly
smear the ereli with lard m.d kerosene
oil mixed, to that tlie fowls' felt and
feathers will be wi It greased, von will
very S' on le relievt d of tLc trouble.
Where these bee ai.d mites are very nu
merous and infested fowls aie kept
close to stables they will gather upon
horses and cattle and greatly trouide
them. Cast's have brcu known in which
horses Lave died from the irrstution
thus produced. For this reason ponltry

How Drains Act. The water which
rnus into drams dug iu tough clay soil,
enters from the sides and tha bottom,
and not from immediately above the
drains. The tonghtest clay is suffi
ciently permeable to water to allow it
to pass through readily, and after the
drains have been in operation sometime,
regular and permanent water channels
become established in the soil leading
from above to the bottom of the draius.
In digging drains in tough, compact
clay, numerous small veins of water are
cut, which show very clearly bow read
ily the water will pass through such
soil as soon as outlets are provided.
The advantage of the deejer drains
is thus explained, and it is readily seen
that their influence extends further in
proportion to their depth.

Impoktasck of Salts in Fooi. Mr.
Foster, in the London Medical fiecord,
has made some interesting experiments
ou dogs and pigeons, which show that
animals suffer and die when inorganic
suits are altogether absent from their
food, although the other nutritive con
stituents tnav be abundant. In all the
animals tried, there was a condition of
muscular weakness, tremor, and general
exhaustion. In the dog, the muscles
of the posterior extremities, from the
second week of the experiment onward,
gradually assumed a paralytic character,
as when the function of the spinal cord
is weakened. The activity of the
cerebrum was also impaired, as was
evident from the bluntuess of the senses
and apathy of the animal. Later on,
increased excitability often appeared ;
the dogs were terrified at any quick
motion ; one had a brief attack of mad
ness, but soon crouched down tremb
ling and growling. On being taken out
it ran forward and knocked its head
violently against a wall. After the
animals had been deprived of salts for
some time, the juices of the intestinal
canal either lost their digestive power
or were not secreted in proper quantity
and nutrition was thus interfered with.
Death took place, however, from the
alterations in the tervons system, be
fore there had been time for it to occur
from inanition. The quantity of salts
necessary to life is smaller than is
generally supposed, but the exact
amount required is still to bo deter
mined. These experiments amount practically
to a Bcieutidj exposure of the unnaiur
alncss and consequent abnormality of
the use of sifted wheat flower the prin
cipal food of women and children, aud
of too many men. J. lie inorganic salts
are almost absent from this artificial
food, the chief material weakness of
modern pst udo-civilizition.
It siems probable that vegetable
matter may, under favorable conditions,
be converted into c al much more
rapidly than most chemical geologists
are in the habit of assuming. At least
a curious instance of an approach to
ward such conversion, within the Lis
toric period, has been brought before
the German Geological Society by Herr
Hirshwald, of Berlin. In one of the
old mines in the upper Ilartz the
Dorothea mine, near Clausthal some
of the wood originally employed as
timbering has become so far altered as
to assume most of the characters of a
true lignite, or brown coaL It appears
that certain of the levels in the ancient
workings of this mine are filled with
refuse matter, consisting chiefly of
fragments of clay-slate more or less
saturated with mine water, and con
taining here and there fragments of the
old timbering. This wood when in the
mine is wet and of leathery consistence,
but on iXosnre to the air rapidly
hardens to a solid substance, Laving
most if not all the characteristics of
true lignite. It breaks with a well
marked conchoidul fracture, aud the
parts wLich are most alteied present
the black lustrous appearance charac
teristic of the German "pitch coals."
At the fame time chemical examination
of the alte red wood shows that it stands
actnally nearer to true coal than do
some of the younger tertiary lignites.
This instance seems, therefore, to prove
that pice wood, when placed uuder
Ligh'y favorable conditions, may be
converted into a genuine lignite within
a period which, from what we know of
the history of mining in the Ilartz, can
not have extended beyond four centu
ries. Ether. Physicists recognize beat as
a mode of motion, and that it comes
uuder the cogniziuce- of our perceptions
by the vibrations of atomic matter or
ether : of ether, iucoercible, imponder
able, which fills nil the immensity of
space aud the depth of ail bodies. It
is in this fluid that the stars describe
their orbits ; in this fluid atoms per
form their movements and describe
their trajectories. Thns the ether, the
radiant messenger of beat and light,
conveys and distributes their radiations
through all the Universe : and that
which it loses iu vibratory energy when
it penetrates a cold body, which it
warms, it communicates to the atoms
of this body and augments the inten
sity cf their movements ; and that
whi.'h it gains in energy by contact
with a warm body which it cools, it
withdraws from this body and dimin
ishes the intensity of their vibratory
movements. And this kind of light
and heat which comes from mateiial
bodies is transmitted across space to
other material bodies.

The Habit of Savisq. Wastefulness
characterizes our domestic economy to
au extent unheard ot iu more frugal
conntries, cud we must always eat,
drink, and be clothed with the best the
market affords. There is no economy
in depriving ourselves of an abundant
supply cf nourishing food, decent
raiment, and healthful shelter, but this
affords no excuse for the prevalent siu
of waste, nor does it justify spending
hard-won wages upon expensive delica
cies, unnecessarily large habitations, or
costly trifles. There is far too lavish a
subserviency to fashion among all
classes. Economy in this respect would
not only create a much needed indepen

How to Clean Soac Srcs. It is well

a little alum dissolved is very effective
in clearing muddy water ; but a short
time since, some alum was applied in a
manner which, from its novelty and its
valuable results, is worthy of notice.
In a place w here water is scarce at
present, a little alum was dissolved in
hot water, and thrown into a tub of
thick soap-suds. In a moment the soap
curdled, and accompanied by the
muddy particles, sank to the bottom,

A Xovei. Bath. Oue of the thera

introduced from the Continent, consists
in the erection of establishments for
administering Lot sand baths as a
remedy for rheumatism, recent cases of
uetvous disorder, affections of the kid
neys, and all cases where heat is wanted
as the chief therapeutic agent. The
advantages of this treatment are, that
it does not suppress perspiration like
the Lot-water bath, but rather increases
it, and does not interfere with the re
spiration, like the steam bath or Turkish
bath. The body can endure its influence
for a mnch longer time, and a much
higher temperature can be rpplied.

It is not at all wholesome to be in a
hurry. Locomotives have been re
ported to have moved a mile in a
minute for short distances. But loco
motives have often come to grief by
such great rapidity. Multitudes in
their haste to get rich are ruined every
year. The men who do everything
maturely, slowly, deliberately, are the
men who ofteuest succeed in life.
People who are habitually in hurry,
geuerally have to do things twice over.
The tortoise beat the hare at last.
Slow men seldom knock thair brains
out against a post. Foot races are in
jurious to health, as are all forms of
competitive exercises ; steady labor in
the field is the best gymnasium in the
world. Either labor or exercise, carried
to exhaustion, or prostration, or even
to great tiredness, expressed by "fagged
out," always does more harm than the
previous exercise has done good. All
running np stairs, running to catch np
with a ferry-boat, are extremely inju
rious to every age and sex, and condi
tion of life. It ought to be the most
pressing necessity which shonld induce
a person over fifty to run twenty yards.
Those live longest who are deliberate,
whose actions are measured, who never
embark in any enterprise without
"sleeping over it," and who perform all
the every day acts of life with calmness.
Quakers are proverbially calm, quiet
people, and (j iakers are a thrifty ioli

One great cause of the poverty of the
present day is a failure of our common
people to appreciate small things.
1 hey do not realize now a daily addi
tion, be it ever so small, will soon make
a large pile. If the young men and
young women of to day will only begin,
and begin now, to save a little from
their earnings and plant it in the soil of
some good saving bank, and weekly or
monthly add their mite, they will wear
a happy smile of competence when they
roach middle hie. ot ouly the desire
but ability to iucrease it will also grow.
Let clerk and tradesman, laborer and
artisan, make now and at once a begin
uing. Store np some of your yo ithf nl
force and v'gor for future coi tixtjency.
Let parents teach their children to be
gin early to save. B-gin at the foun
tain head to control the stream of ex
travagance to choose between poverty
and riches. Let your youth go ou in
habits of extravagance for fifty years to
come as they have for fifty years past,
aud we shall have a nation of beggars,
with a moneyed aristocracy. Let a gen
eration of such as save in small sums
be reared, and we shall be free from all
want. Do not be ambitious for extrav
agant fortunes but do seek thut which
is the duty of every one to obtain, in
dependence aud a comfortable home.
eaitb, and enough of it, is within the
reach of all. It is obtained by oue pro
cess, aud by one only saving.

Dtar Sir I had Fufftred from Catarrh in
an aggravated form for about twelve years
and lor gtveral years from Bronchial trou
ble. Tried many doctors and iking with
no lasting kenefi'. Ia May, '72, becoming
nearly woru out wub excessive Editorial
labors on a paper in New York C'iiy, I w as
aittckt-d with lironcliilis ia a severe form,
suffering almost a toial loss of voice. I re
turned home here, but bad been home only
two weeks when I was completely prostrated
wi.b llemor huge from the Lungs, kicing
fo it fvre hUtthny ipe'.h with n iao trttki.
and Jinl thrtt nuult of nine datt. In tne
September f illowin. 1 improved sufficiently
to be able to be about, ihougb in a very fee
ble stale. My Bronchial trouble remained
and the Catarrh was unfold worse than be
fore. Every effort for relief seemed fruit
less. 1 seemed to ba losing ground daily.
I continued in tb feeble state, raising
blood almost daily until about the first of
March, '73, when I becime so bid as to be
entirely confined to the bouse. A friend
suggested your remedies, lgit I was ex
tremely skeptical that they would do me
good, as I bad lost all heart in remedies,
and began to look upon mediciue and doc
tors with disgust However, 1 obtained one
of your circulars, and read it e.refu'lv.from
which I came to the conclusion that you un
derstood your business, at least. 1 finally
nbtaned a quantity of Vt. Sage's Catarrh
Itemed, your Golden Medical Disc very
and Pellets, and commenced their vigorous
u e accor ding to directions. To my sur
prise I soon b"gnn to improve. Tne Iis-covt-ry
and Pellet, in a short time, brought
out a severe eru tion, which continued for
several weeks. I fe't uiurh belter, my ap
fctile i-mprot'd, and I gained in strength
and Utah. Ia three m m lis every vestige
of the I'aUrr i was gone, the Bronchitis ha I
nearly disapp ami. bjd no Cough whatever
and 1 had entirely cea-ed to raise blood ;
and, con rary t the expectation of some ot
my friends, the cure baa remained perma
nent. I have bad no more Hvmorrbaes
from the Lung, and am entirely free from
Catarrh, from which I had suffered so much
and to long. The dol t of graiiiu l I owe
for the blessing I have received at your
h ind-i, knows no bounds. I am thoroughly
-atiffied, from uiy experience, that jour
medicines wdl master tbe worst forms of
bat odious disease Calanh, as well as
Throat and Lung Diseases. 1 have recom
ine.ided them to very many and shall ever
speak in their praise. Gratefully yours,
