Suggestions to Honey Producers. Turf, Field and Farm has the follow lug BuggestloiiB to honey producers: Success" In bee-keeping, as wellns success In everything tlsc, depends bo much upon taking hold of It the right way, and sticking to it with a determination to success, thnt we will oll'er a few gleanings which niny he of use to the new beginner. A person commencing the bus iness, as well as any other business with which he is unacquainted, had better be gin moderately. Two or three or perhaps four colonies, are as many as it would be safe in the majority of cases to commence with ; these may be purchas ed at moderate cost ; or, what may be better, have hives made such a9 Bult you and engage some apiarist to put his earliest swarms iu them for you. In any event do not select hives under live years old, if you adopt the former plan, and move them in March or April, being careful to get strong bees ; an old method of deciding this, is to rap smart ly on the hive early in the morning, or at any time on a cold day ; if there is a vigorous buzzing in response to the raps, it is probably well supplied with bees; if the reply is but feeble, try again. They can be removed any cold duy by shut ting them iu the hive. If the most approved system is to be adopted, the movable comb hive will have to be em ployed. If common hives are to be used, twelve inches square by fourteen high, inside measurement, is a good size. No one should commence bee-keeping (or any other business, for that matter) without profiting as much as possible by the experience of others, as found in books and journals, with departments devoted to the interest. Many are afraid to commence the business for fear of the the moth. After learning its habits, any Intelligent, industrious person can keep it as free from it as his cornfield free from weeds. -r- Skinning vs. Scalding Kog3. I Baw a man dressing a Bmnll pig in a manner which was novel to me. In stead of the long and laborious method of heating water and scalding and shav ing he simply skinned the animal. He claims that he could skiu six hogs iu less time thnu they could be dressed by scalding. The pork looked nicer than I expected to see it in fact, full as well as when the skiu was left on. There was one butcher or more in the neighbor hood who hkinned hogs for the sake of the skin, and since the process of scald ing costs a dollar or more, many of the farmers who do not care to eat the pork have their hogs skinned, or such of them as they intended to keep for their own eating. I was unable to learn what price the skin brought at the market or to what use they are put. Probably they are worth as much as the price usually obtained for butchering, or the butchers would not choose to skin for the hide instead of the money. Whether the hides are used for riding or "Russian leather" hand bags and pocket books I know not ; but if they do the world any good in that way it is more than they do in the pork barrel. As a matter of curiosity 1 would add that the hide from a 200 pound pig weighs 12i pounds. Smut as a Cattle Poison. Smut is poisonous to cattle, and if eaten in any considerable quantity, produces disease and death. Great care must therefore be taken not to feed them with ear9 of corn which are partly af fected with smut' as they will be greed after the grain and swallow the smut with it. There is less danger with corn fodder, provided all the smutty ears have been removed. But it usually happens that the busker on coming to these diseased ears, leaves them on the stalks, which is a dangerous practice. The best way to treut them is to go through the corn field before the stalks are cut, and with a knife and basket, cut off all the diseased parts of every hill of corn, and burn them in a bush heap. This, if carefully done, will re move the danger. Where good ears have small portions with smutted grains, it has been recommended to select these for feeding pigs, and to cook them well before feeding. Eaker's Gingerbread. Take a piece of alum the size of a nutmeg and pour upon it one cup pf boiling water, let it cool, then add one half cup of butter, two cups molasses, one teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful ginger, flour to roll out smooth ; stamp ; bake quick.

THEY ALL WANT IT, BECAUSE It Is a family newspaper, pure, sound reading for old and young, and It contains a reliable and comprehensive summary of all the important News. THE N. Y. OBSERVER THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPEIt, Publishes both the religious and secular news that, Is desired In any family, while all that Is likely to do harm Is shut out. It devotes four pages to religious news, and four to secular. THE NEW YORK OI1SERVER was tlrstpub lished In 1823: and it Is believed to be the only Instance of a Religious Newspaper continuing Its even course for Fifty-six Years without a change of name, doctrine, Intent, purpose, or pledge from the date of Its birth. THE 57 VOLUME will contain all the Important news than can In terest or Instruct; so that any one who reads It will be thoroughly posted. We do not run a benevolent Institution, and we do not ask thesupport of charity. We propose to make the Rest Newspaper that Is published, and we propose to sell it as cheaply as It can be afford ed. Let those who want pure, sound, sensible, truthful reading, subscribe for It, and let them Induce others to do the same. We are now pub lishing in the OBSERVER the Story of JO AX THE 7IAII, byMits. Cn..m.E9, author of "Chronicles of the tchonbergOotta Family." We send no Premiums. We will rend the NEW YORK OBSERVER one year, postpaid, for ?3 15. Any one sending with his own subscription the names of New sub scribers shall have coinmh sion allowed in pro portion to the number sent. For particulars see terms In the Observer. SAMPLE COPIES Fit EE. Address: NEW YORK OBSERVER, 37 PARK ROW, NEW YORK: TILE SUN FOR 1879. THIS ttlTN will bft printed every flay rtnriwr the year to come. Ttn purpose and method will bethewime hh in the jawt ; To present nil the uewn iu a readable ahai'e, and to till the truth thoiiKh the heavens fall. THE BUN hat been, in, and will continue, to he in dependent ot everybody and every thiiw pave the truth and itn own convietimiH of duty. That in the only no. icy an honed newspaper need have. That in the policy which nan won for this newn paper the confidence ana friendship of a wider constituency than was ever en-Jov-pd by ny other American Journal. THE HUN is the. newspaper for the ieople. It In not for the rich man avufnpt the poor man, or for the poor man against the rich man, put it secka to do equal Jus tice to all iuierests in Ihe commnuity. It is not the or Kan of any person, clans, sect or party. There need be nn mystery about its loves and hates. It is for the hon est man atraiuct the rogues every time. It is for the honest Democrat as avainst the dishonest Republican, and for ihe houest Republican as aKainst the dishonest Democrat. It doea not talte its cue from the utterances of any politician or political organization. It wives its support unreservedly when men or mensuren are in agreement with the Constitution and with the prinet pips upon which this Republic was founded for the people. Whenever the CotiHtitution and constitutional principle!, are violated as in the outrageous conspira cy of lh7ti, by which a man not elected was placed in the President's oiUce, where he utill remnins ft speaks out for the riwht. That is THE tiUK'S idea of indopen deuce. In this resject there will be 110 change in its proMTamme forlfc7S. The Hnahas fairly earned the hearty hatred of ras cals, framtH, humbiiKH of all sorts and nize. It hones to deserve that hatred not loss in the year 1879, than in Imtk. 177, or any year Kne by. The dan will continue to shine of the wicked with unmitigated bright iipkb. While the lessons of the past should be constantly kept before the people. The Hun does not projKJse to make itseif in IK, 9 a magazine ot aucient history. It is printed for the men aud woman of to-day, whose con cern is chierty with the affairs of to-day. It has both the disposition aud the abilty to afford its readers the promptest, fullest, and most accurate intelligence of whatever in the wide world is worth attention. To this end the resources belouKiHH' to wull-etabliHhed pros perity will be literally employed. The present disjointed condition of parties in this country, and the uncertainty of the future, lend an extraordinary sitrnitieauceto the events of the crminjr year. The discussions of the press, the debates and acts of Comresti, and the movements of the lerders iu every section of the Republican will have a direct bear ing on the Presidential election of Ihho an event which must le rewarded with the most anxious interest by every patriotic American, whatever his io)itical ideas or alWianfe. To these elements of interest may le added the propility that, the lH inocrats willcontrolboth houHes of ComrreHS, the Increasing ft'bleness of the fraudulent Administration.aud thegpreadandstre.mrth eninw everywhere of a healthy abhorance of fraud in any form. To present with accuracy and clearuens the exact situation in each of its varying phases, and to exjKumd, according to its well-known methods, the principles that should yuide nr through the labyrinth, will be au important part of The iSuu'tf work for 1871. TVr have the means of making The Bun, as a ix.liti. cal, literary and a general newspaper, more eutertain in and more useful than ever before ; aud we mean to apply them freely. Our mfe of subscription remain unchanged.
