Editor Coiintv Record: Will you please cive space in your valuable paper to a lew hiuts on bee culture. We Ihiuk this a subject worthy of careful consideration, especially to our farmers; not only on account of the large amount of delicious honey that can be produce 1 with small cost, but because this branch of agricultural industry does not improverish the soil in the least, but on the contrary, results in belter seed and m ' fruit crop?hence the value of the honey bee as both a honey produces and a cross fertilizer. Here is a source of pleasure and profit y that is placed within the reach of r-J' every poor man. In most business the poor man cannot compete wjth the rich, but it is not so in bee culture. It requires but lit-1 tie capital to start with and a few colfni^s in frame hives will set a man on his feet You should have your bees in v movable frame hives, the Long 81 rath and Golden bee hives are ^ the best I know of, then von have them where you can handle with pleasure and piotit. Eaeh healthy colony with a little care should yield veil fifty pounds of r choicest honey annually. There is no reason to believe that we / can overstock our county with the honey bee as we havd myri ads of flowers thai deck the fields and|foresl together with laige dews which will furnish sufficient . supply of-the choicest of nector's ?weetsM fnr hundreds of colonies ?j.v of bees. I Should you raise more honey than is necessary for home con sumption you can dispose of your surplus to your tenants and | neighbors at a fair price. You - may say there is no demand for y honev. In answer we would say I.V this is a case when the ordinary rule is reversed?the demand being influenced largely by the supply. While the supply is defi Icient in quantity of course the demand is not so great. Your bee hives should be kept % in the orchard or some where near the house where you can watch over them during swaming sea Vaiit hii-oo chmiM ho nrr? OVUt X VUI (II ?

Iioney is one of the purest and most nutritious articles of human food, acting both as food and medicine. It - gives warmth to the system arouses nervous energy and im parts vigor to all the vital functions. To the laborer it gives strength to the business man mental force.

The senate is now erjgugr d in remedy- ! ing the small imperfection i of the Ding- j ley till, which. a.? all good protectionists assert, is one of the Rest tarilf bills | ever drafted. It distributes its blessings i fo all?farmer, iaLorer and inntiufac- i ' i turer. Withoot doubting the good iuten- i lions of the makers, we wish to suggest i one or two minor details which might j possibly help the hill to fulfill the ex- ! pertatious of its authors: First.?-Labia'sexport honnfyscheme i j might enable the farmer to get a small ! slice of the benefits of prott>ctiou. Of j i course the farmer doesn't expeet-^-espe eially at first?to got as much of the ! i benefits as the manufacturers have been i getting for 80 years. A protection of j i annul zu per ceut?mat is iu ccuts p?r i bushel on wheat. f> cents on corn, etc.? i would satisfy him, while if takes fonr ! ! times as much to satisfy ordinary tariff J infants. i This small export duty would not j make good the farmer's loss because of ! j import duties on manufactured products, saying nothing about past lease;-, j but in course of time, after his industry ! bad felt the stimulating effects of real j protection "what protects," the fanner j might muster vpcourage enough to fol- i low the example of Oliver Twist? j which examplo has grown into a ens- I torn with protected interests?and aslt | for "more." Possibly also ho might ; form political trusts or combines to de- j : niand "more" and raise millions of dol- j | lars to scud lobbies to Washington to bribe congress. While protection is in : Order exjiort duties are the farmer's on- I ly hope. With them he may hope not ' only to change bis losses to profits, but j also to regain that power and position j which were once his, but which have | long since passed into the bauds of tho ; manufacturers. Second.?It is also fitting to recognize | the laborer in the distribution of tariff profits. Liko the farmer, ho now put:r his hand info his pocket to help swell the profits of protection, practically nontf of which comes his way. It is not an easy matter to equalize the benefits of protection so that the workiugnian shall get his full share. A prohibitive duty ou imported labor might lu the course of time afford some protection by restricting the supply of labor, so that manufacturers could carry out their good intentions (expressed whcc | asking for higher duties) aud pay I "American wages to American work- i iugmen." At present tho condition of working- \ men in tho protected industries is pitiable iu the extreme. The Philadelphia Ledger, a good Republican paper, told us about May 1 that in the protected iron and coal industries of Pennsylvania tho wage rate has been reduced so low "that it is scarcely sufficient to provide the necessaries of decent, sanitary livM T+ oaro 4Hin lAtLOct flflCKAfl flf alien cheap labor swarm in the iron and coal districts of tbe state," and the competition for work ii so fierce "that they contend, not again rt the employers for the highest wages, hat among each other for the lowest?" "Ai appears by the testimony presented to the legislative committee, " Xbcyherd in squalor, subjects of abject penury, and are beset by disease, dirt and hunger." The Ledger thinks our immigration laws aro "defective ant improvident" and suggests that "to properly protect American workm.-n congress should pass an imiuigratiDn as well as a tariff bill." This is a gcod idea and should be acted upon at orce. Tbe only wonder is that some of the good manufacturers, in their anxiety to protect and raise tbe wages of their workingmeu, did not think of this plan before. Then, if they should have u law passed which should make it compulsory for them to give at least one-half of their protection nnd monopoly profits to their employees, protection wonld begin to be an all around blessing. The manufacturers might still be gottiug the lion's share, but they would not get all When these changes are made in the bill, it will undoubtedly be what tbe New York Tribune declared its prototype, the McKiuley bill, to be?"the bravest and best tariff bill ever passed."
