In a well proportioned hive con-' taining 20,000 bees there should be one queen, 500 males and the 1 rest should be workers. If a hive has no queen, swarming can never take place, however crowded it may be. On the loss of a queer, the whole hive is thrown into the greatest confusion; they seek her in all directions, and if she is not ! found and there are no eggs to rear another they become disheart ened and disorganized. The best1 protection against moths and worms is a strong colony, having a fertile queen and stores of honey. Such colonies are never injured by worms. If the bees are not numerous enough to cover all the comb in a hive, the moth miller will deposit her eggs in the unprotected comb. It is always best to take all unoccu pied comb from the hive and keep it in a close box to which the millers have no access. A queen will lay more eggs, and a colony will de- K velop more rapidly when contrast ed, according to the amount of bees1 it contains. When a beekeeper finds that worms are appearing in any of the hives he should remove the combs, destroy all the worms he can find, and replace only as many as the bees can cover well.. Then feed the bees as long as the honey drought lasts, and they will at once take courage and rid themselves of these pests. Have a clean bot tomn board, without a crack or crevice where a worm or moth may go, and the bee be unable to fol low, and if kept strong the bees will ,always protect themselves against this enemy. They will pounce upon the larvo as soon as they appear, before the silken case is spun, and carry them from the hive. Moths may be destroyed by placing a -a dish of sweetened water, with a light burning in the centre -of it, in 'the apiary during the night. The moths will be attracted by the light and fall in the water. Chickens and ducks, if allowed to run about the hives late in the eve ning, will cateh a great many moths. Never permit ol comb to remain in empty hives; it becomes a nur sery of moths in a few weeks. Hives mnay be protected from ants by making chalk marks around the legs of the stands; but they must be repeated after every rain. A more troublesome, but very effec tive, way is to place the hives on benches, with legs standing in ves sels of water. if the hives are so low that toads can find a position on the alighting boaird they will catch great numbers of bees, but if the boards are a foot or more from the ground the toads will contenlt themselves with the moths. Wasps are troublesome, and when abun dant they carry away a good deal of honey. They are easily caught in a bottle of sweetened water, which the bees will scarcely ever enter. Each wasp killed in the early spring is equal to a nest deC stroyed later in the summer, as only the female or queen wasp lives through the winter. In the fall care must be taken that no opening which would admit mice is left in the hive, as they destroy the como and honey. Spiders, if allowed to make their webs in the corners and fronts of hives, will entangle many bees. When honey is scarce in the fields a strong coloyv will sometimes attack ad destroy weaker ones and transfer their stores to their own hives. If robbers are found actively at work' close the entrance, so as to admit oal on- e ate a time. If this is to prevent robbing by leaving no sweets exposed and by uniting weak stocks in the fall. There is sometimes an enforced idleness of the bees consequent upon ill man igement on the part of the apiarist. The most apparent cause of idle ness - is the absence of bloom or ho failure of flowers to secrete honey. In some localities these peiiods are either so frequent or so protracted that successful bee ulture is impossible. When rains re very frequent even the best honey plants fail to secrete. If the hives are so full as to preclude Further storing the bee must, of ,ourse, be idle. A wise location f' the apiary will do much to remedy the first cause of idleness. [n a region that abounds in fruit trees or white clover, with swamp ands near by filled with golden rods, asters and boneset, and the barvest of honey will be a large >ne. In the vicinity of a forest sontaining maples, lime and tulip rees the bees will not want for material. During the interim of honey secretion the bees may be ept busy and the queen active by eeding. A half pound per day to hive is sufficient and pays richly or the trouble and expense. Too great heat in the hive is an vil that may be easily overcome >y arranging so that the hives may be shaded during the heat of ;he day, from nine o'ciock until our, in summer weather. FRESH MEAT.-Farmers are like y to cook meat too soon after the inimal is killed. The idea is that ;o get the meat very fresh is to ave it more wholesome and "safe." cook in one of the great French estaurants, either here or in Eu ope, never cooks meat on the ame day when it is killed. It as not had time to obtain con istency. A gourmand can detect he flavor of "fresh" meat instant . Except in very warm weather 'eat should be "hung" in a cool lace at least a reasonable time. ow frequently, when company somes, the farmer hastily kills a bicken, and while the flesh is yetI warm plunges it into the pot, 'his is what gives the sickish, 'chickeny" flavor. The English ?eople hang their meat until it eginis to attain a gamey flavor. f course no positive directions an be given for a country so diver ified as ours in climate ; but it niay be safe to say that meat houd never be eaten on the same lay that the animal is killed. How TO DRILL IN CoRN.-The way practised is to raise all the rills but the middle and two end nes. They usually drill in about pec~ of the seed to the acre, md the rows should be made just is straight as it is possible to aake them, as upon the straight ess of the rowvs depends the feasi aility of keeping the corn clean without the use of the hoe. When the corn is just coming up many practice dragging it with a light barrow, so as to kill all weeds and iv it a clean start. If one balf~ f the spar of corn are des troyed~ he Cr01) will be ali the better. If when the corn is .vell out of the way of: the worms it should still e too thick, it might be well to go hrough with the boe and chop ut the thickest clusters. (American Rural Rome. PIcKLIN G PoRK.-TO pickle pork, allow the pork to cool off but not rreeze. Cut it into sizes small enough to pack nicely in the bar rel, in layers of pork and salt, using 200 pounds of salt to the bar rel of pork. Reserve salt enough to make the brine, which must be boiled and skimmed. Pour this brine over the pork until it covers the pork three inches. Keep al weight on the pork to prevent any of it from floating. The brine should be strong enough to con tain some uudissolved salt. Pickled pork is best when made from hogs under one year old, and will keep sweet for years. FOOD F'oR SoWs.-For sows, wile suckling, oatmeal gruel, mixed with brani, barley meal, or~ >ied barley, boiled Indian meal. >ea or bean meal, cooked potatoes >r roots, and sonme cowv's milk. given in a milk-warm state, is ex cllent. The young pigs will soon eirn to eat the food prepared as* ubove, but the proportion of sow's nilk may be increased, at least for EXEIMTA FARINGe.

BEER, The Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for the year 1875, speaks as follows: "There can be no doubt of the general adulteration of all malt liquors. In England and other countries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and punish such frauds, by a system of inspectionl of all tm.lt liquors manufactured before exposed to sale, tile prctice is very common. How much more in this country, where there are no laws on the subject, and no officer to carefully ana lyze the products of the brewery? Some years ago, Professor Mapes, of New York, analyzed the beer from a dozen different breweries, and all were found adulterated with noxious substances. It is said that the sale of drugs to brewers is a profitable part of the trade. This is perfetly infamous. Cocculus indicus, (fish-berry,) nux vomica, (dog-brtoul, from which strychnitme is ob tained,) are some of the delcectable substances found in beer! These are potent poisons, and the brewer found using them should be dironed at once in one of his own vats. The British Pariiament p)assed a law to pre vent this nlefarious business. The following is an extract: 'No druggist, vender of or dealer in drugs, or chemist, or any other person, shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer in or retailer of beer, knowing them to be such, or shall sell or deliver to any person 011 account of,or in trust for, any such brewer, dealer or retailer, any liquor caled by the name of or sold for coloring, fromi whatever material the same may be ade; or any material or preparation other than unground brcwn malt, for the darken ing the clor of worts beer, or any molasses, vitriol, honey, quassia, coccolas inidicus, arais~ of paradise, Guinea pepper, or op)ium, ir anly extract or p)reparation of molasses, or any article or preparation to be used in worts beer for or as a substitute for malt or hops; and if any druggist shaill offend in any of these particulars, such preparation, &c., shall be forfeited, andt may be seiied by any officer of excise, anid the person so offending shall for feit five hundre( poands.' "Under this law, very many druggists and brewers were brought to grief, and yet the practice continues. Unless the American Dublic are ready to admit the immaculat.e ~urity and innocence of American brewers, tueyv~mutst be content, while drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they are at the same time guzzling some niarcotic poison or damaging medicine. in view of tile unpre cedented growth of the barley crop; of the great increase of the number of mnalsters and brewers; of the vast unknown quantities of beer that are drunk in cycry city and almost every town on the continent, it is thle dictate of sound wisdom that the attention of legis lators should be called to the subject of the adulteration of our malt liquors, arnd severe penalties should be inflicted as a preventive."
