From the Prairie Farmer.
itlunuKement of the Honey Be*.
K<h Prairie Partner :—Having had
twenty-five years experience in bee-keep
ing. Hiid, having been more than ordinarily
successful, I think I ctn safely offer a
word, of advice in regard to the manage
ment of this very interesting class of in
sects.
As appropriate to the season, I would
say that bees that are wintered upon their
stands in the open air, without other pro
tec tion from cold than ordiuary board
hives, often become groatcly reduced iu
numbers from chilling of the bees that
■happen to cluster among outer ranges of
comb, detached from (fie main cluster dur
ing the changes from moderate to very
cold weather. Such swarms require groat
care to prevent their getting robbed dur
ing the first few weeks of wRrm weather
in spring, or until their number becomes
.. usidcrably increased. In some cases the
Jcjor should be so nearly closed as only to
give n passage about half an inch square.
Hut, unless air bo admitted from some
* other source, never wholly close the door,
as you value the breath of life iu them.
Should bees fail to protect themselves
from robber bees after this above precau
tion, they should be moved away about a
mile for a few weeks.
Should it become necessary to feed bees,
enre should be taken that robber bees shall
not interfere. If box honey cannot be
ltui{ f/tr fnmlinnp nen unrrer f iligcnlvotl \
v: \ /
Pome attempt to feed “sale molasses,” but
.it will not do. Maple molasses will ans
wer the purpose well for swarms that do
not require to be fed a great deal. It is
not a substantial bee food as honey or
dissolved white sugar. It is sometimes
necessary to feed a swarm quite late in the
spring. If a swarm has but little in store,
and a large amount of brood to be fed,
while the swarms can only obtain suffi
cient food to supply tlicir wants from day
to day, and a cold “spell” of several days
duration occurs, starvation is the result,
whereas a pound of honey or sugar at a
cost of twenty-five cents or less might have
helped them out
Equal parts of rye and oats ground to
gether is said to make the best flour (to
bo used unbolted) to feed bees in spring
for a substitute for bee-broad (pollen.)—
This flour bee-bread is usually fed in
shallow dishes set wherever it is most con
venient for all the swarms, but the other
feed should be placed on the top of the
hive in suitable “feeders,” andcoverrd by
the cap so, as much as possible, to protect
it from the robber bees, and also to secure
a degree of warmth from the rising heat
of the swarm that enables the bees to feed
in quite cold weather.

The Uut uing Star.
The following accouut of an event more
awful and sublime than the most vivid
imagination can fully conceive, is given
by Edwin Dunkio, of the Royal Observa
tory, England. It is ouly one of the
several similar cases on record. In May
last, a star blazed forth in the northern
crown, and was of the second magnitude.
The astronomers gave it immediate scien
tific observation, and recorded the result
in technical term11, which need not bo re
peated ;
There eau be but little doubt that)
from a cause unknown to us, it must have
bccu tbe subject of a terrible catastrophe
at a period perhaps distant; for it must
be borne in mind that, owing to its im
mense distance, we may be only witness
ing tbe calamity of tbe past age. From
tbe sudden blazing forth of this star, and
then its rapid fading away, Mr. Hugging
and I>r. Miller have suggested that in
consequence of a great internal convulsion,
probably a large quantity of hydrogen and
other gases were emitted from it.
During a discussion of this star at a
meeting of tbe Royal Astronomical Socie-1
ty, on June 8th, the astronomer royal ex
pressed his firm belief that the wonderful
object was actually in flames.
-- - -- - ~r-—
uuiquc astronomical phenomena, or the
probable consequences arising from such a
• sudden outburst of fiery gas, wliat an cx
lensivo subject Air contemplation is open
to us 1 Astronomically we have known
this minute star for years without suspi
cion; it has been classified with others of
similar magnitude ; it Las been one of
many millions of such ; while now it will
be remembered by all future generations
ns one of the most remarkable stars of the
universe. Or, let oui speculation bo car
ried a little further, aud let us reasonbly
suppose this small aud hitherto nearly I
invisible object to be an immense globe
like our own sun, and surrounded probab
ly with plants and satellites depending
upon tlieir center fur light and heat ; what
would bo the effect of this sudden confla
gration ou them ? It makes one almost
shudder at the idea of a system of worlds’
being annihilated at ouce without warning, j
hut such must doubtless be the fact. We
however, in this quiet world of ours, can
scarcely, perhaps, realise such a catas
trophe ; but were our sun, which is only a
star, analagous to those in the heavens
around us, to be suddenly ignited in a
similar manner to this distant and un
known sun, all its attendant planets and
satellites, the earth incliuded, would be
destroyed.

A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer
tainted or washed a building, four years
tgo, with water, lime and milk. It has
lone very well. He mixed a little at a
iuie, stirred frequently, applied it with a
vhite-wnsh brush.
The editor of the New England Farmer
•ays he has always found pork as easy of
ligestion as beef or mutton, and he be
ieves that if a hog is kept in cleanly
juarters, and has clean and wholesome
food, it will furnish just as healthful and
palatable food as any other domestic
iniiual.
The Ohio Farmer says overgreasing
wagons and carriages does them great in
jury, and says that lard should never be
ised, tallow being the best for wood axlo
■roo, and eastor oil for iron. But a light
:oat should be put on. The same paper
lays no vegetable oil, except perhaps cas
tor oil, should be used on harness—neats
'oot oil being the best.
The following recipe is worth 8500 to
t sheep farmer, and wo have never seen it
in print: If there is any life in the lamb
put it in at once up to the head in a
t>lood-warm bath, adding more warm water
is it cools. Keep it in this fifteen or
twenty minutes, or “until it makes the
water fly with with its feet.7’ Then wipe
it dry and return it to its mother
Many horse owners aim to place tire
rack and mangers of their stables as'high
as the animals can reach and got their
food. “It learns a horse to hold up his
head,” they say, “and he looks bettor in
the stall.” Mr. Bonner, of Now York,
lets his valuable horses take their grain
from a simple box on the floor, a»d their
hay is thrown in front of them. He
thinks that nature placed tho horse’s food
at his feet, and in this respect ’ it is wis
dom to do likewise.
Swelled Legs In lloraes.
Many horses aro subject to swelled
legs. In old horses it arises front con
gestion of the legs, which depend 011
tho weakened action of the heart inci
dent to old age. There is not much to
he done for causes of this description
Another class of cases occurs in horses
of lymphatic temperament, and the ex
citing causes are high feed and want of
exercise. The horse’s legs become
swollen, hot and painful, and the horse
goes lame on tho affected limb. The
proper treatment for such cases is low
diet and laxative medicine. In severe
cases I have sometimes sacritied the
iffooted leg, but this is only advisably
in tlic early and acute stage of the
ittack. Half an ounce of nitrate of
potash may be given once a fortnight
to horses that are subject to swelled
legs, and where it recurs frequently,
once a week. The swollen log some
times attaius enormous dimensions, and
the swelling may become permanent.
1 have seen a horse’s leg swollen near
ly as thick as a man’s body, aud in one
ease (which I examined after death
from a malady,) I found that tho swell
ing was produced by tho effusion of
lymph between the skin aud subjacent
tissues.—Rural World.

The Cut Worm
We clip tfcc following from the Model
Farmer.
“An excellent plan to keep off the cut
worm is to drop about a tablespoonful of
course salt on the top of the hill soon
after planting the corn. This is curried
down by the rains, and aets as a fertilizer,
besides the cut worm is destroyed. Salt is
peculiarly obuoxious to this class of in
sects, and perhaps all classes. Instead of
pultiug the salt on the hill, some farmers
spread about eight bushels to tho acre
broadcast upou their cornfields after plow
ing and before harrowing. This is also*)
very profitable application.—Farmers

they plant corn.”
A lady friend of ours in endeavoring
to destroy these parasites, ruined her en
tire garden by putting salt around the
vegetables which had been attacked.
Plunt Sorghum.
Last year’s experience demonstrated to
the satisfaction of mauy of the farmers ot
Mississippi that the Chinese Sugar Cano
was a very profitable crop. It surpassed
cotton as four to one. In the first issue
of the Jfodel Farmer we gave a brief
history of this plant and the most success,
ful mode of growing, and the patrons of
this journal are advised to refer to that
article and re-read it, if they wish to get a
heavy orop for 1808.
Every farmer can produce his own mo
lasses at the cost of a little labor, and it is
a great luxury, and besides there is much
nutriment in all sweet syrups, and scieu
tific men assure us that a liberal propor
tion of sugars are an advantage to contin
ual health. Many farmers are ready to
oppose planting Sorghum, because of the
difficulty of evaporating and boiling- We
can assure them that these objections can
be easily removed. Recently there has
tioen invented a machine which will press
.he cane and boil it in the field where it
g grown, saving the huuling of the cane
:o the mill, and leaving the stalks on the
'round to enrich it. This invention is
prunuuueeil a suoeess, aud it will not only
make syrup, but will manufacture a fair
article of sugar from the Sorghum We
would give the name of the machinery
and inventor, but if he wants to sell his
machinery in our State, he should adver
tise in the M. F. Our advice to the far
mers is then, get in all the Chinese Sugar
Cane that you can cultivate well, and the
machinery will be here to evaporate and
convert it into an excellent article of
syrup.—Model Farmer.
