BEES. 



Mr FF.ssv.Nnr.N— It is proper that those persons 

 vho mnke use of the bee-hive fiirnishoil witii njlazed 

 Jrawers, should be informeil thnt they will find it 

 lifficuU to drive the bees out of the drawers while 

 aking the honey, unless the gjlass bo covered ; but 

 f the drawers be entirely dark, the bees will imme- 

 liatcly rush out at the aperture by which they enter- 

 d. 



In case of receiving a sting, there is no remedy 

 hatafibrds such speedy and eft'ectual relief as to- 

 acco moistened with vinefjar. 



I have four swarms that have this season taken 

 ossession of contiofuous empty hives without swarm- 

 ng in the usual mode. It is only necessary to place 

 lives in contact with apertures of communication, 

 nd to keep the empty hive dark witliout any outlet 

 n front. 1 am yours, 



Pli/moulh, Jill;/, ls31. J. T. 



Fat Cattle. — Col. Stevens, of Dutchess county, 

 s. Y. passed throug:h this village last week 

 ifitli about 90 head of cattle, for the New York 

 larket. He informed us that he had paid 70,000 

 ollars this season for cattle purchased in the vicin- 

 :y of Connecticut river, in Massachusetts, New 

 lampshire and \ ermoat.-.^ortliampton Gazette. 



The season. — This is a growing season, and a 

 ery busy one for farmers. Corn and broom corn 

 re unusually promising. There is a great crop of 

 rass, but the weather has been unfavorable for 

 ay making. Many fields of rye, it is said are 

 lasted. — Ihid. 



Corn Bug. — Tiie Lansingburg Gazette states, 

 lat a black bug, about the size of a lightning, bug 

 as recently made its a))pearance in the neighbor- 

 ood of that village — and says that it is the worst 

 nemy to corn the farmers have ever known. 

 i''hole fields have been destroyed by it. 



Tf'hy Cream collects on the surface of Milk. — When 

 vessel of milk is allowed to remain a certain time 

 t rest, it is observed that a stratum of fluid will 

 3llect at the surface, differing in many qualities 

 om Uliat itpoii which it rests. This is called 

 ■earn ; and the property by which it ascends to 

 le surface is its relative levity ; it is composed of 

 le lightest particles of the milk, which are in the 

 rst instance ini.xed generally in the fluid ; but 

 hicli, when the liquid is allowed to rest, gradu- 

 ly rise through it, and settle at the surface. —

 late report of the N. 'H. Temperance Soci- 

 ty, as given in the N. H. Statesman, tlie con- 

 jmption of ardent spirits in that State has been 

 sduced in the proportion of about 4-9ths, making 

 n annual saving of expenditure in this article of 

 263,000. The present consumption is estimated
