VENTILATE YOUR BEEHIVES. j
A cheap but tasty bee house, or hive set here and \
there among the shrubbery about the house, has a
wonderful home-like and interesting appenrance Tho
curious habits of the bee, and the lusciousness of its
products, have a charm for children which the y nev
er forget, if they have once wisited the farm and en •
joyed them.
A swarm goon becomes acquainted with those who
have the care of them, and will cover the flowers of
the garden or the farm in search of honey, and scarce
ly dver molest any one who is careful not to injuro
thein.
Wo visited a bee master recently, who inrormed us
that he took one hundred pounds of honey frsm a
s iugle swarm last fall. This swarm wintered well
while several others standing near were utterly ruined
by mica.
The greatest drawback, however, in bee-keeping,
is the destruction occasioned by the accumulation of
th ir own breath and the exhalations of their bodies
These are much greater than many suppose, so that
the stronger and more numerous the swarm is, the
more danger there is to them from their own vapor
It is quite common to hear bee-keepers say, they
have lost their strongest and best swarm ,ar.d thelos s
arises from the cause wo have just stated, or, in oth
er words, from the want of proper ventilation. Tbree
fburthsofall the swarms lost, die from this cause
TO SWEETEN RANCID BUTTER.
An agriculturist livin? near Brussels, having suc
ceeded the removing the bRd smell and disagreeable
taste of some butter by beating or mixing it with
chloride of lime, ho was encouraged by this happy re
sult to continue his experiments by trying them upon
butter so rancid as to be past use, and he has restored
to butter tho odor and taste of which was insupporta
ble all the sweetness of fresh butter. This operation
is extteemely simple and practicable for all. It con
sists in beating the butter in a sufficient quantity of
Water into which has been mixed twenty five to thir
ty-drops of cblorido of lime to two pounds of butter.
After having brought all its parts in contact with the
water it may be left for an hour or two ; alterwards
Withdrawn and washed anew in fresh water. The
Chloride of lime used, having nothing injurious in it>
enn safely be increased ; but after having verified the
experiment, it was found that twenty-five to thirty
jfrctps to two and a half pounds of butter weie suffi
cinzrt.
TO STOP BLEEDING ON MAN OR
BEAST.
Asa Kemper. Ross County, Ohio, writes to the Am
erican Agriculturist that bleeding from a wound on
Wan or beast may be stopped by a mixture of wheat
flour and common salt, in equal parts, bound on with
a cloth. If the bleeding be profuse, use a large
quantity, say from one to three pints. It may be lef f
far hours, or even days, if necessary. In this manner
ho saved the life of a horse which was bleeding from
a wounded artery ; the bleeding ceased in five minutes
after application. It was left on three days, when it
worked loose, was easily removed from the wound,
Which very soon healed.
ELDERBERRY WINE.
As the season for making el l- r'jerry wine is close
at hand, we give the following recipe for making it :
The berries, when ripe, arc first picked by the stems,
then stripped with the hand, or trimmed close with
shears. Next, they are mashed fine, which can be
doue by a stick in the form of a pestle. I.et them re
main until the next day, when the juice is slowly
pressed out in a cheese press, or any other convenient
way. Next boil the juice twenty minutes, skim it, i
and add four pounds of whitesugartoa gallc-n; when
milk-warm add a small piee*. of white bread crust,
that has been dripped in yeast. Let it stanl three
days, remoxe the crust, and the wine is ready for bot
tling. Age improves it.
DESTRUCTION OF MOTHS.
The ravages of the woolen moth may bo prevented
ill a measure, by the use of any of the following sub
stances : Tobacco, camphor, and perhaps the most
agreeable for wearing apparel, a mixture of one
ounce of doves, one ounce of rhubarb, aud one ounce
of cedar sh . vings. tied up in a bag. and kept in a box
or drawer. If the substance be dry, scarier it in the
folds of the cloth, carpet, blanket or furs; if liquid,
shatter it freely in the boxes, or on the cloth or wraj
per laid over and around it.
THE APPLE CROPS.
From present indications the apple crops in Eastern
Pennsylvania generally, will be quite large this sea
son. In many places which we have noticed trees are
loaded down with fruit that heretofore have been very
sparse bearers, in fact hardly worth orchard room. —
The probability of a large cropof apples at home will
be good news to our citizens, who have heretofore de •
pended m.rinly for their supply upon dealers who
brought them from Western New York or the New
England States.
GREEN CMRN IN WINTER.
Those who are fond of green corn during the win
ter, do not all know that it ra ay be preserved bv
packing it tightly in casks or barrels, aud covering it
with a brine strong enough to keep cucumbers. The
corn should be taken with tho husks on. Corn thus
prepared, if kept covered with brine, wi'l keep in
good order tor a year or more, and will be sufficiently
fresh for the table when boiled.
EcT A gentleman who has experienced with coal J
oil, in destroying the worms which infest and destroy
ctirrafitand gooseberry bushes, foui d it perfect anti
dote for the pest which has created such great dam
age. By putting a small quantity of coal oil into a
Sprinkling pot and showering the bushes tho worms
instantly fall to the ground and do not revive. Less
than a gill of Kerosene was useu in the experiment,
and at least five hundred worms were killed. Bcnzone
would probably act more effectually upon the vermine
without injuring the bush.
BLACKBERRY CORDIAL. —This excellent cure all, for
abdominal commotions is thus made;
Two quarts of blackberry juice, one pound of loaf
sngat, a quarter of an ounce of cloves, half an ounce
of nut-meg, half an ounce of cinnamon, half an ounce
of allspice. Boil it all fifteen minutes. When cold
add a pint of brandy.
CURE FOR HORSES —Dr. Thornton, of Virginia, a
great breeder of horses, says founuer may b cured,
and the horse fit for service the next day, by giving
bim a tablespoonful of alum. This is certainly nn
easy and cheap method of getting rid of that trouble
seine malady.

A FUNNY INCIDENT.
On the (steamer Indiana, on one of her trips down
the Mississippi, thevc happened to be on board a lloo
sier from tbe Wabash, going to New Orleans, who
had an old fiddle upon which he continually scraped
away, to the annoyance of the passengers. A French
man of delicate nerves and musical ear was greatly
annoyed. He fluttered, fidgeted, swore at the fiddlo,
and begged the Hoosier to stop; but it was no go.—
The Hoosier swore he'd "music as long as he pleased.'
At last a big Kentuckian placed himself before the
fiddler, saying, "I'll fix him," and commenced bray
ing with all his might, and drowned the screeching of
the fiddle. The discomfited Hoosier beat a hasty re
treat, greeted by the shouts of the passengers and the
delight of the Frenchman. During he night the
Kentuckian left the boat. The next morning before
breakfast the passengers were startled by the discord
ant sounds of the old fiddle again. Hoosier had dis
covered that the coast was clear, and was bound for
reven eon the passengers. The Frenchman, just
seated to read his paper, on the first round aro3o, and
looking anxiously around, shrugged his shoulders,and
then shouted : " Vare is he ? Vara is he ? Quick !
Quick ! Varc is Monsieur Kentuck, de man vot play
on de jackass ?"
£ "if The following is said to have passed in a
; school down east:
; "Which is the most northern town in the United
States?"
" The North Pide."
" Who is it inhabited by?"
" By the Poles, sir."
" That's right. Now what's the meaning of the
word stoop?"
i " I don't know, sir."
" What do I do when I bend over thus ?"
" You scratches your shins, sir."
" What is the meaning of the word carve ?"
" I don't know, sir?"
"IV hat does your father do when he sits down to
! the table ?"
J "He axes for the brandy bottle."
" I don't mean that. Well, then, what does your
. mother do when you sit down to the table ?"
" Sho says she will ring our necks if we spill any
; grease on the floor."

I j>7* A noted joker and two or tkree kindred spir
its sauntered into a Jew clothing store the other dav,
and in reply to an invitation to buy some "dosha,
shentlemenshe ? the joker picked out a fine coat',
much to small for him, and commenced putting it on.
Getting both arms into the sleeves, he brought them
together in such a manner as to cause tho stitches to
crack very audibly. Shtop, mine f.in, dat goat ish
tu small." The joker, howevr, did not pay any at
tention to his clamor, but kept straining tho garment
until it was nigh splitting open. "McinGot! Vot
ish dis you dose to Mein eloshe? (Crack.) Got in
himmil, (rip) that goat cosht me more as fifteen tol
lar. Shtop, mo in got frien, shtop !" " Give me a
dollar, old fellow, or I'll bust it in just one minute,"
said the joker, in a determined manner. " I can't
git a to liar, mein gcot frien ; I gives yon fifty cents.'a
At about this rate the parties compromised.
"There was a man in the land of Uz, and hi
name war Job. who foare 1 God, and eschewed all
evil " This means, boys," said the master, " that
he eschewed evil, as Ido tobacco ; lie would have
nothing to do with it.', With this clear and forcible
illustration of the word "eschew," he proceeded, and
a number of vorees- commented on in a similarly and
intelligent manner. A few days afterwards the
school committee called to make an examination and
report progress. The master called the boys up and
began to put them through an examination. " Who
was the man who lived in Uz?" he asked. " Job.''
" Was he a good man ?" " Yes." " What did ho
do? 'He chewed tobacco when nobody else would
have anything to do with it," was the boy's answer.
h $ A Dutchman looking for a person by the
mine of Dunn, who owed him a "small account,"
asked a wag near Sweeny's eating house where No.
6fi Chatham Street was, as he "wished to find Mr-
Dunn" The wag told him to go intoSwecny'3 and
the first person at the first table was tho gentleman
he was inquiring for.
The Dutchman went in, about as slow as a jackas
towards a peek of oats, and this first gentleman hap
pened to be an Irishman.
Are you Dunn ?"said tho Dutchman.
Done ? says Pat, "by my sowl, lam only jist
cinminced."
J A livery stable keeper, named Spurr, would
never let a horse go out without requesting the lads
not to drive fast One (lay a man called for a horse
to attend a funeral. "Certainly," said Spurr; but,"
he added, forgetting the solemn purjwse foi which the
young man wanted the horse, "don't drive fast."—
' Why, jest look a here, old feller," said the" some
what excited young man, " I want you to understands
that I shall keep up with the procession it it kills the
horse !" o,d Spurr instantly retired to a stall, and
swooned among the straw.
t & A man went into one of the beer shops in
town and called tor ale. It was brought to him in a
common pint measure. He drank a little, and think
ing it tasted qneerly, ho asked the shopkeeper what
was the matter with bis beer. The answer was that
it was first rate, being just bought in Syracuse. Thi3
satisfied the customer, and he swallowed the remain
der of the beer. IV hen he got through, seeing some
thing in tho bottom of the measure, he asked what it
was. " I deelare," said the
to take out the soap the last time I shaved."

XW " Cmsar," said a planter to his negro, "elimb
up that tree and thin out the branches." The negro
showed no disposition to comply, and upon being
pressed for a reason, answered : ' Well, look here,
massa, if Igo up dar and fall down and broke my
neck, dat'll be a fousand dollar out of your pocket.
Now, why don't vou hire an Irishman to go up, an'
den if be falls an' kills hissef, dar won't be no loss to
nobody."
nr An Irishman, being a little fiuddled, was ask
ed what was his religious belief. Is it me beluffc y'd
b asking about? It's the same as the widdy Bran

befaves I'll nivcr pay her, und fuith, that's my belafe
too.
kIT A chaplain was preaching to a class of col
legians about the formation of habits. " Gentlemen, 1 !
said he, " closo your ears against bad discourses."
The students immediately clapped their hands to their
ears.
rtr A country editor, in speaking of steam-boats,
said : " She had twelve berths in tho ladies' cabin."
"Oh, my life !" exclaimed Mrs. Partington, on being
informed of this, " what a squalling there must have
been on that precious boat."

A cure of ail Bilious disease? Costiveness, Indi

very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medi

No person can feel well while a costive habit of
bodv prevails ; besides, it soon generates serious and
often fatal diseases, which mignt have been avoided
by the timely and judicious use of a good purgative,
! This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and
Bilious derangements. They all tend to become of
produce the deep seated and formidable distempers
which load the hearses all over the land. Hence 4
'(•liable family physic is of the first importance tii
the public health, and this Pill has been peifecU<j
with consummate skill to meet that demand. Aa
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, I rofes>
sors, and Patients, has shewn results surpassing
any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cured
have been effected beyond belief, were they not sub
stantiated by persons of such exalted position and
i* character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth. .

Did space permit, we could give in&nv hundred
certificates, from all parts where the Pills have
been lfsed, but evidence even more convincing than
the experience of eminent public men is found irf
their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the resu't of long investigation and
study, arc offered to the public as the best and'
most complete which the present state of medical
science can afford, 'lhcy are compounded not of
the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues
only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process in a state of purity, and combined togethef
in such a manner as to insure the best results. This
L system of composition for medicines has been found
I in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a
I more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob
j tained bv any process. The reason is perfectly ob
vious. While by the old mode of composition, every
medicine is burdened with more or less of acri
monious and injurious qualities, by tliis each indi
vidual virtue only that is desired for the curative
e;!i it is pr< sent. All the inert nod obnoxious qual
ities of each substance employed are left behind, the
curative virtues only being retained. Heme it is
self-evident the effects should prove, as they hav#
proved, more purely remedial, and the Pills a surer*
more powerful antidote to disease than any other
medii ine known to the world.
As it is frequently expedient that my medicine
should he taken under the counsel of an nttCfrdfrrjl
Physician, and as he could not pfoperly jnftee of a
| remedy without knowing its composition* 1 have
i supplied the accurate Formula* by which both my
Pectoral and Pills are nofr to the whole body of
Practitioners in the United Stale*ai.d British Ainer
j ican Provinces. If. however, there should be any
one who has not received them, they will be
' promptly forwarded by mail to his request.
Of all (he Patent Medicines that are offered, fctPH
few would he taken if their composition was known
'i i ir life consists in their mystery. 1 have 11c
ni\ stories.
The composition of my preparations is laid opert
to ail men, and all who are competent to judge ori
the subject freely acknowledge their convictions of
their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was
