Edctors Southern Cultivator — I see,’ in the, March 
number of the CidtivoJor, that my friend M, T. McGebee, 
of Bradley county, Ark., solicits queries respecting the 
treatment of Ihs “little favorite,” the honey-bee. -.Now, aS' 
•it is a, great favorite with me as well as himself, and. as I 
have not “Sevan,” I propose, by your. permission to pro- 
pound.a few questions in reference to hiving tlje swarms, 
for I find great difficulty when they swarm.to get them in 
the,hi;ve.and keep them there, so much so that I, have al- 
most given them up in despair.

PLOWS Foil CANE KOOTS-SUBSOIEING , See.. 
EDiTpRs Southern Cultivator — In looking over th'e 
January number of the Cnltimlor find an'enquiry made 
about a plow that will tear up cane roots. Thave one of 
the most perfect implements for that purpose, thathas ever 
been invented. ' ' 
It is pimple in its construction, and does its work efTec’- ' 
tually. It IS worked on my Patent Plow '^tock; It can”' 
be iviade for one or lor two horses. And when you are j 
doneusins: the root-cutter, you can easily attach any otlier i 
of the known plows, such as subsoils, scooters, 'shovels, i 
sweep's/ goplier.s, btizzards, scrapers, turning-plows of all | 
descriptions, and shapes of mouldboard, either cast or j 
wrought, itnd, indeed, any plow that can be attached to 
any other stock, can be to this. 
My' prices' are as follows ; for one horse stock, $5 ; for 
two horse stock, .$8 ; for one horse .stock, with root cutter 
attached, 8^7 : for two hor.se stock, with root-cuttcr, SI I . 
All other Plows can be attached to the Stock for the 
same prices that they can be made for any other stock. 
This is now considered by those who are using it, to be 
-one of the most perfect plosv stocks in existence.

have arrived at the following con'clusions, viz; 
1st. Dw!/s or G/'r ^ 5 are in the stomach of every horse: ^ 
2nd. They live wlihlty upon fhe principle ot s:uctton, a.nA'

3rd: No horse is affected by them, Ayho is regularly/s</, 
watered, and salted. . . 
'lih. Tnat nohorseds rtomach was ever perforated hj Ule 
bods or grubs, because, as before stated’, the w.orm has no 
mouth prepared by nature for cutting through any sub-'
