 illustrate exactly what he wishes to teach. AYe \v\\\ seiitl 

 it, with Gleanings, for §2,50, post-paid, and we would bu 

 glad to receive a gxiod numter of subscriptions ; but our

 oidy of local interest, and the industiy has not as .yet as- 

 ■smned the pmportions that it his in onr country, we c\n 

 h irdly (expect it to be of the same v;^luc to «s, as our own 

 Journals. Most of tha appliances used, especiilly the 

 hive.s, arc much more expensive and complicated llimi 

 those we use, and many devices are in favor in England, 

 that we have considered discarded.
