CARKOTTS AND ItUTA BA?A.
The produce of theso crops is not s<?
largo in this Statu ns to n-qu ro much ex
pence or pnins in their preservation. An
acre of rutabaga or cnrrotts is, upon th<* |
whole a largo quantity for any one farm, j
As yet our farmers in the cut ivntton of
roota for stock- nro ?dnwlv f?>??lii??? ?li?if I
way- Wo hope they will come ou' right
I r at lust nn'J that small experiments will
* encourage them to extend ealtivution.
They will presently learn that fur k' cpmg
stock, there nrc many much more profitable
crops than English hay at a ton or a ton
and a half to an acre ; and by turning their
attention to other c iops. by which thoy will
liuva it in the:r i own to keep much more
stock, I In y will increase their manure hoops
and in this way quadruple, and in some casus
increase ten fold, the pio uclivcncss of
their farms.

for liis horses. The experience of n di<?

tice of keeping eighty horses on his I'urin

Now a hushel of carrots a day with
chopped straw or salt hay, would, we have
no doubt, keep a work n horse in high con

Bit its ? Hep Moth.?On another page
our renders will find some valuable extracts
from Mr. Week's book on bees. Mr.
Weeks has doubtk ss had more experience
in bee management than any othoi man in
tno country, and the result of his numerous
experiments afioid new and useful informa.
t on in relation '?? the economy of these cu.
rious insects and the method of managing
them to advantage. Wo noticed Mr.
Week's work last winter, and wo would adVise
every opi nion who lias not one of
fhos' honks to oVai:i it as he can have n
f.iflil of useful mutter for only cents.
in the extracts to which we have referred,
Mr. Weeks observe* thai the cement used
by the bees in plastering up crocks in hives,
is used food bv the moth in the larva
state. Wo huvo never been troubled with
he b?c rooth ; and as wo generally in the
spring put n coat of white wash, made of
fresh slaked limu umi a good portion of salt,
ull over 'ho top of die bottom board, und
ABM
wf JV D I
CHERAW,
1 on the lower part of the hivo on the insitl
and whitewash our hives on ih<? outside, w
have thought that it wn? a preventive of in.
jury from the moth, hut it may not ho th?
caso. We have used th whitewash for the
purpose of cleansing the board n(V-r the
d?-ad bees are removed in the spring, and
rendering the "ir |iu>? and the Ives heal htill,
and we have found il valuable for this
purpose.
A few years since wo had seven or eight
hives of bees severely attacked wilt sick
news so that no work was done, many bees
went dying and all were dull and idle. W?
made an experiment by taking soino-from
the ground that were so far gone that we
took them up in our hands and they rould
be just move, 9i) or 30 were put into n
a glass and < g >od dose of salt whitewash
given them, t.u i iliey soon became ne'ive,
and appeared t? be reg'oreJ to good health.
We then whitewashed the board on which
tie- hives set, a id each hive on the inside -up
to the comb. In a few minutes the b?-es
were s?-en busily tucking the liquid whitewash,
and they seemed to take large doses,
and the next day they wore well and shout
their work.
We bought a hive of Irons last spring that
had not been properly managed ; there
were several quarts of comb broken down
and with n few thousand dead lice# laid in a
mass at the bo'tom ol the hive, which with
the perspiration of ,h'' bee? had rendered
the air damp and un whoh sninn ; we cleared
this from the board, hut the bees were dull
and slow. We then whitewashed the board
un.y tiuuii uccaiuu active ami ill
diistrinus.
ll is best to tuko out tin* bol'om boar I
and wash it clonn, when the weather h?-"ouies
warm ill'It" spring, atld then white
wash it nml the hive. I hit be kt late tlinn
never, ami new the bees have begun their
labor, they may not like an interuip'.ion in !
fine weather, so this operation ran lie a ten '
divl to in n cold s onny day, or on n cold
morning.
We do not say that this method will pr<-vent
the depredations from the moth, hn,
us we have practised it, and have ti? v *r
fa-en troubled with the moth, we have some
euson to suppose dint the lime and the salt
have been a proven ivo ; from the general ^
nature of these two subs nnees it is reason
able lo inf? r they woul I be offensive to the i
no li ; for though salt mid lime may he a
good medicine, they would not tie n very

TEMPERATUItE IN ?REAT BRtTAl.N AND TO*

While the average temperature of the
year in Englnnd exceeds that o( the rortlteru
part of it.e United S ntea, the average
of the three* sumni' r months there, tails vrry
mucii b low- the average nl the same months
here. Thus m tho agricui.ural reports of

I it wass'a ed t ml *'frosts were frequent duI
nr.g tho months of July and August." We
I have been ometimea asked why corn na
well as wheat cannot la* grown in England.
Tile true reason ih found in tins low tempera
ore of ll.e summer months ; which
while it proves no' unfavorable for wheat,
renders the ripening of corn impossible.?
Wheat will b<* twst in h tcmpcraturu that
averages from 00 :o 70 degrees, as the stalk
ukes more iimo to grow, docs not sutler
rotn diought. and gives a finer, heavier

course one of the best wheat counrrica in

In-a t than from 70 to 80 degrees, an if ('it
;iv?T'tfjH of tlir tnree summer months does
no' raitge between 75 and 80, n good crop
of corn c?n hardly be expected. Titus in
Kngland corn will never be grown ; a law
