from each other as the space will allow. Next, 
keep a good look out for its first appearance, in 
spring, summer, or autumn, and remove each 
affected one at once; saving the bees, of course, 
unless at the very last of the season, and then 
keep the honey—unless cleansed—away from 
the bees. It would not do, at any time, to put a 
colony of bees from a diseased hive into empty 
combs, as they would in such case deposit some 
of the honey, and eventually feed it to the brood, 
which in a short time would be as bad as ever.

think it contagious. But. ol foul brood proper, 1 
admit that, with our native bees, it is incurable, 
and will spread through the apiary, and neigh¬

It is well to become acquainted with it, and 
know just how it is communicated from one Li ve 
to the other, without becoming unnecessarily

them out of the ground; have them perfectly 
dry when put in the cellar, and keep them In a 
dry, cool place. Some farmers let their potatoes 
remain in the ground, soaking through all the

every year; hence the potato rot. With such 
management they should rot.

pure, who uses this <! vile weed?” It is lmpossi- 
ble. If any one doubts it, let him smell the 
breath of a smoker or chewer of this poisonous 
plant; and then witness the filth that is caused by 
the expectoration of those who use it. Any can¬ 
did person who will look into the deleterious 
etfects of tobacco on the body and mind, and 
read what has been written on the subject by 
eminent men the past fifteen years,- such men 
as Horace Grbelt, J. Q- Adams, Drs. himw, 
Traix, Johlyn, Rev. Geo. Trask, and scores o 
others,- cannot fail to be convinced that the use 
of it is a terrible evil. 
The raising and use of tobacco is an evil at any 
time: but how much more so at this time. r J he 
energies of all the people at home, in this time ot 
trial to our country, ought to be directed to rais¬

ignorance or carelessness. I have witnessed the 
dying out of a few apiaries, and have seen the

owner had refused lo make the first effort to save 
any part- On the other hand, I know apiaries,

tion of the earth should be cultivated with such 
a useless and evil production as tobacco. Nveiy

occupied in growing cotton, flax, bemp, sugar 
cane, beets, &c.. for sugar, especially in the 
Northern States. We need all the uselul and 
necessary things that we can raise or manufac¬ 
ture at this time to help pay the expenses ot our 
war, &c.: and we have uot a dollar to lay out in 
unnecessary things, such as tobacco, intoxicating

I have introduced the bees into combs where tbe 
disease existed in its first stages; a part grew' 
worse, while the others have stood two years, 
and have eradicated it entirely. In one instance, 
some half-dozen obtained access to honey from 
diseased combs, and but one of the number was 
affected. Allow me to repeat, in conclusion, 
that whenever this disease is introduced in a

be eradicated in one season, by the simple means

it? The chances are that it will be introduced 
there somehow', as in many cases both buyer 
and seller will plead the convenient excuse, “ 1 
knew nothing about it.” Suppose it introduced 
by a full colony of those “long billed bees.” If 
such hive should stand at. a goodly distance from 
all others, and when it runs down can be re¬ 
moved before being robbed, and the contents 
kept entirely away, it will be eradicated without 
further trouble. Any swarm issuing from such 
stock will consume the honey taken with them 
in elaborating wax. and remain healthy, if pul 
in an empty hive. If the queen is obtained in 
the usual way, with a small piece of comb, and a 
few workers, there is still less danger. If the 
comb contains the poisonous honey, what then r '

it is of no vise to introduce the bees, as they are

Dit. Randall's New Work on Shkku Husbandry.- 
Tlie recent announcement In this anti other journals, of a 
new work on Sheep Husbandry b,v Hon. H S. Randall, 
(to lie entitled Tun Practical Shepherd, ) lm* attracted 
much attention. In answer to numerous Inquiries as to 
when It will be published, how and of whom it can be 
obtained, etc , wc would state that it is the intention of 
the publishers to issue the work in August, when it will 
be placed within the reach (through agents, booksellers 
or tbe mails,) of persona desirous of procuring it in all 
sections of tbe country. 
— Among the letters tve have received on the subject of 
the forthcoming work, are several of * highly coroplimen 
tary character, from prominent gentlemen who know Dr 
RaNDAM.’S qualifications for the important labor upon 
which he is engnged-ttiat of furnishing a standard au¬ 
thority on American Sheep Husbandry. For example, 
the lion. Theodor* C. Peters, of Genesee county, for¬ 
merly Editor of 7V Wool Grower, and long an extensive 
Hock-muster, writes us as follows: 
Mt Dear Mr. MoOhk:-I sec by tbe papers that you 
are about bringing out a book ori Sheep Husbandry, by 
Hon. U. 8 Randall. I am glad you are doing go, for 1 do 
not know of any mall, cither here or In Europe, who can 
make so good and valuable a book upon that subject as 
I)r. Randall. I have been familiar with him as a sheep 
man for the last tw enty years, and have often urged him 
to write just nucha work; for I considered bint, beyoud 
all peradventure, the only man in this country who could 
do the subject justice and make just such a hook as every 
American farmer needed. It must be a success. 
Kindly Yours, T. C Peters.

When spirited coach horses rim away, 
tbe driver does not consider whether they are in 
the right road; his business is to keep right side

« The use of tobacco is undoubtedly an evil- 
nothing can bo claarer—and the reason why it is 
so prevalent is, because it. is so slight an evil,

because it. is so slight an evil. 
Then, let us raise tobacco, and thereby strengthen 
ourselves to overthrow not only the greatest evil 
but the most awful crime." 
Now, if this is not the most singular consist¬ 
ency that could be conceived of, then 1 will give 
up. “ The use of tobacco is undoubtedly an evil— 
nothing can be dearer ,—and the reason why it is 
bo prevalent is, because it is so slight an ct >1. Is 
it because intoxicating drinks cue so scarce, that 
the “evil” of drinking them is so great? We 
know the reverse to be the fact in relation to 
these drinks: the greater the “evil” the more 
prevalent the drinks. Or the more there is 
drank, and the more “evil” caused thereby, the 
greater the supply. Then, “when coach horses 
run away,” to carry out the strict analogy ac¬ 
cording to his premises, the driver should not 
try to check or guide them, but put on the whip 
and hurry them to destruction as soon as possi¬ 
ble. And then to raise that which he acknowl¬ 
edges to be “an undoubted evil,” he culls 
“keeping right side up." Well, it this is 
“ keeping right side upthen I should prefer 
to be "wrong side up.” 
Then again he says, “ Look out for breakers 
in the way of high prices aud taxes, and reflect 
how better you cau meet them than by raising 
tobacco. Let every man, even if he has to 
‘stretch his conscience’ a little, plant tobacco, 
for it always brings the cash.” I think the ad¬ 
vice to “ every man ” to “ stretch his conscience ”

Dzierzon has recently modified his practice in 
the treatment of this matter. This burning up 
things by the wholesale is unnecessary and 
wasteful, and will not be relished when we can 
do so much better. To smother and bury the 
bees, is not the most profitable way to dispose of 
them. We can drive them into a dean, empty 
hive, and they will prosper just as a swarm will 
do of the same size. If tbe colony is small, they 
will do just what, any other small swarm would; 
if early, much more than if late. Good results 
need not he expected, if, as is frequently the 
case, the colony is allowed to dwindle to a mere 
baudful before anything is attempted. 1 am 
speaking of operations "as soon as the disease 
is discovered.” Not until the honey season is 
over, is it best to destroy the bees. What stores 
they do collect, if not sufficient for winter, will 
do for the table, or may be put away for another 
year, us so much already done for a new swarm. 
Neither is it veiy satisfactory to burn the 
“contents.” Suppose there are filly pounds of 
beautiful, delicious honey, in combs nearly new. 
The few celts of diseased brood, in the middle of 
the hive, are easily removed, leaving the store- 
combs perfectly clean. It is suitable for the 
table in the comb, or after being strained. Or it 
may be cleansed by scalding and skimming, and 
fed to healthy colonies, at certain seasons, which 
will repay the favor by storing a similar quan¬ 
tity in the surplus boxes. And next is the wax,

A WORD ON WASHING SHEEP. 
Eds. Rural Nkw-Yorkkr:— In the Rural of 
March 28, 1 notice an article in reply to a short 
one I wrote (of a previous (late) in answer to Mr. 
Solomon Hitchcock, of Conesua Center, N. Y., 
which Mr. H. treats (in his reply with reference 
to washing wool on the sheep) in a manner that 
is to the point. Although Mr. H. argues in favor 
of shearing sheep without washing, yet from the 
general expression of Mr. ll's article, as well as 
numerous others which I have noticed of late, 
are based principally upon the fact that buyers 
do not discriminate between dirt, grease aud 
wool. Now, if growers prefer to shear without 
washing, I would have no objections, as a buyer 
or manufacturer, but would not like to employ 
men to buy my wool who do not make proper 
discrimination, especially when wool rules at 
the figures it probably will the coming season. 
My experience proves to me that the clean 
wools are all taken first by judicious buyers, and 
I would advise growers to wash their wool on 
the sheep. N. N ourse.

A “SECRET” IN POTATO GROWING. 
Eds. Rural New-Yorker:— You are doing 
all you can to give the farmer important Agri¬ 
cultural information. I notice in the Tribune 
that Friend Robinson, of the Farmers Club, 
will kick all communications under the table, 
perfectly disgusted with tbe farmers who write 
to the Club respecting the potato rot, Ax., &c. 
But it takes us all to know everything, and we 
can hardly do it. Notwithstanding all that, I 
can give some valuable, information, on raising 
potatoes and the short-legged cabbage. I have 
been in possession of a secret for the last three 
years, on raising potatoes, that I know to be very- 
valuable and should be generally known, and 
the season is now at hand to put it in practice. 
This new plan is the most important in dry sea¬ 
sons, as double the weight can be raised on the 
same piece of ground, and a good crop can be 
raised on quite poor land. 
Now I will tell you how I manage; premising 
that I have never yet had potatoes rot in the 
ground, and that I am 68 years old. 
° I plant my potatoes in the latter part of April 
or fore part of May, and in the old of the moon. 
When they get up six inches high, I plaster and

Caution to Bee-Keepers. 
Foul Brood 
In the Rural of Oct. 11th, 1862, I find a 
“ Caution to Western Bee-Keepers.” ou a subject 
that I propose to notice a little further. I pro¬ 
fess to be well acquainted with the matter in all 
its details, and can speak from my own expe¬

pended on the reliability of another, and, as 
sometimes happens, has made some mistakes. 
Notwithstanding the caution was needed, and 
timely, I dislike the spirit in which it was given. 
It was unnecessary to tell us. even it true, that 
he was “ regardless of our interests.” It looks 
something like adding insult to injury. But that 
which is most objectionable, as affecting the 
larger number, is the misrepresentations, giving 
rise to unnecessary alarm and uneasiness.

disease very well indeed. But I caunot see the
