AGRICULTURAL. TOPICS OP INTEREST RELATIVE TO FARM AND GARDEN. Bee Notes. At the receut meeting of tho Bee Keepers’ Association of Oneida county, N. Y., the members related their failures and successes during the past season. The testimony was to the effect that 1880 has not been a good year for honey making. Not more than one-third of the usual quantity of honey has been gathered. . F ; L. Smith remarked that the various novices in bee culture could often teach the bast apiarists. They frequently hit accidentally upon experiences which are of great Value. He had never seen two seasons in which the same care and at tention would do for bee raising. He was surprised this year by having one swarm appear in May, but later the bees did not do as well, and swarming was not gen eral until the latter part of June. He had eighty-seven colonics in the spring, which increased to ISO. Only six of the new swarms were natural. Twenty-two of the old ones were divided artificially. His average yield this year is forty pounds of honey to the swarm. B. E. Foster said that in May his bees gathered more honey than ever before. Some of it was fine and some not as good as that of last year. He made five or six swarms by dividing old ones. Four hives of his bees averaged about sixty pounds of honey to the colony, bnt he had taken 150 pounds from one colony. R. Bacon spoke of tho yellow finish in the honey, which he attributed to mild mustard. Others thought it came from the dandelion or the catnip. Ho is satis fied with an average yield of thirty pounds. Mr. Miller wintered thirty-fiv6 out of thirty-seven swanns, keeping them in a sheltered building where the mercury never went lower than five degrees above freezing. His average yield of honey was 52J pounds, although he has taken from one as-high as 31)0 pounds. W. C. Perry lost seven out of eleven swarms during the winter. His average yield was from twenty-five to thirty pounds. Mr. Evans attributed the dark color of his honey to sumach blossoms. •Feeding bees for winter requires a pe culiar knack as well as care. Mir. Bacon uses sugar and water, one-third water and two-thirds sugar. This food is all eaten tfefote sprhfg, and before the bees .commence to gather honey, so that none of it goes iatpjtthe' crop. A majority ei. the members favored the Italian breed of bees. Others thought there was little diffciencc so far as work ing'qualities are concerned between tho Italians, tho Germans and. the hybrids. The Italians are the most gentle under handling. The points to be considered in breeding are gentleness, quietness in wintering, prolificness and working qual ities. As to wintering bees, C. D. Wheeler buries them in the ground. Hedigstwo trenches with boards at the sides, top and'bottom, and covers them with lay ers of shavings and sawdust and then with earthr Arrangements are-made tor carrying off the water that soaks through and for furnishing ventillation. Tho method is comparatively new, but seems to furnish the necessary warmth. depends for its valuo much upon the original character of the soil. If peach-growers will go through their orchards every fall and examiuo each tree closely, they will find upon mauy of them gum oozing from the trunk near the ground. By brushing away the gum a small white grub with a black head will be found drilliug his way through the bark. Kill all of these pests and. tho trees will not suffer from borers. The early part of October is the best season for doing this work. Among the most vnluable stimulants for starting bens to lay is cayenne pep per, ground ginger or pulverized gentian root, either of which may be mixed in moderate quantities with soft food. A good tonic and at the same time a ttim- ulant may be made up as follows: Red pepper, 2 ounces; ground ginger, 1 ounce; ground gentian root, 1 ounce; green vitrol, l ounce; assafatida, 1 ounce. Mix thoroughly and feed on-e every two or three days in soft feed. The above quantity is for fifty hens, which should be decreased to half at all feeds after the first. Farm and Garden Notea. .

In Belgium, says an English exchango, each member of the Chamber of Repre sentatives receives 200 florins, or £10 13 shillings per month; or for the session of eight months £134. In Denmark the members of the Lands- thing and the Folkething are paid the same salary, 15 shillings per day. The average number of working days in a session is 145; the total amount for the same is £113 15 Shillings. In Portugal Peers and Deputies receive an annual stipend of £07. In Franca Senators and Deputies each get 19.000 francs, or $>350 per year;’the colonial representatives getting, in addi tion. their traveling expenses. In Sweden the members of the Diet [receive 1,200 rix-dollars, equal to £66 f 14 shillings for a session of four months, and their traveling expenses. Here mem bers of both Chambers are fined 10 rix- dollars, or 11 shillings a day if they do not attend. 1 v In Switzerland members of the Na tional Council receive 10 shillings per day, which is paid out of the Federal Treasury. Members of the State Coun cil are paid by the cantons, and their salaries‘Tange from 6 shillings to 10 shil lings per day. In the United States Representatives and Delegates each receive £1,000 per- ycar and their traveling expenses at the rate of 10 j ence per mile. In Norway the members of the Storth ing received 13 shillings 4 pence a day while it is sitting, which is usually about twelve weeks. In Italy neither Senators nOr Deputies' are paid, but they get free passes over all the railroads in the Kingdom and seme other concessions as to taxes and patronage, a most objectionable mode of payment, and long-since condemned in this and other countries- where similar privileges used to be conceded to legis lators. In Spain tho members are not paid. In Greece Senators get £20 per month and members of the Representative Chamber £10“ per month. In all the local legislatures in Ger many the members, with one or two ex ceptions, are paid, the salaries averaging in Prussia about 9 shillings per day and in Austria about 20 shillings per day. The members of Parliament in Great Britain, as is well known,receive no pay, and have no direct patronage. Were the members of the House of Lords paid at the same rate as American Congress men and Senators their salaries would amount to £518,0^)0, and the members of the House of Commons would absorb about £670,000.

They are not only becoming citizens and evinc ing nn interest in national and local affairs, but with the loss of their former desire to hoard up a few hundred dollars and return to Italy to loaf out a poor ex istence on a starvation allowance, there has been noted a very great and deep improvement in their condition here.

There is no reason for having a barren y*rd or lawn in winter, b'orne kind of choice evergreens, ornamental trees or shrubs should be planted. A hedge along the front and on the borders of the walks will give an attractive appearance at all seasons. Dr. Fisher finds that animal manure makes strong grape vines, but not much fruit, and tends to induce rot and mil dew. On the other hand,he finds potash and superphosphate to “have quite the opposite effect, producing a large amount of fruit of superior quality. No thrifty farmer will permit coarse weeds, thistles, briars or bushes of any kind to grow by tho roadside adjoining his fields- One or two days’ work each year for two or three years with a stout bush scythe, will cause these unprofitable varieties of vegetation to give. place to valuable grasses. '• * A New York farmer claims that ah acre of Hubbard squashes will fatten sfeveral more hqgs than an acre of coi n. This may be true, but many farmers who can raise corn successfully might not succeed with squashes, which, ow ing to insects and bugs^ are a much.more uncertain crop tnan the former. Early sowing of wheat is not consid ered so important now as it was a few years ago. The fancied advantage of getting grain in the ground a few days earlier has been the origin of more fail ures than any other'eause. Wheat has been hurried into the ground when a week longer time in fitting the seed bed would have given a stronger, better growth in the fall, and one that would endure the wiuter better. No other thing on the farm so thor oughly marks the progress of agriculture as the rapidly increasing "use of red clover. The two-fold benefits of clover are so obviously manifest to every farmer that the in< rease of its use is not sur prising. Its wonderful yield as a forage crop makes it one of the most desirable to raise, whether to be fed green or cured in the shape of rowcn> Farme.s in some sections of Pennsyl vania maintain the fertility of their soils by applying 100 b. shels of slaked lime to the acre once in five years. It is said that fields which have been subjected to this treatment for the past 100 years are as productive now as when the experi ment was first tried. This application citizenship offer than they eagerly em- j brace them. The manner in which they ; buy property illustrates this characteris tic. Long before one of them has money sufficient to buy a house he finds two or three or a dozen others with equally small funds of savings, and all together they buy a house, live in it or rent it, divide the profits, and are presently able to sell to one of their number or to speculate further. This is particularly, the case with the Genoese. But among the Italians are many individuals who are large property owners (leaving out such families as the Fabris and others of the aristocracy of Italy and confining these notes to the masses of peasantry), as, for instance, Antonio Cuuco, who owns $200,000 worth of property in Mulberry and Bayard streets.—New York ILrald. Plenty of Claimants. When Lord Tom Brassey was m the Bahamas, in order to ascertain which way. the Gulf Stream was built, he threw overboard a couple of hermetically scaled soda water buttles with a little flag and button' on top. Each bottle contained a nrtice that the findec would receive £5 on forwarding it to Lord Tom; and in order to facilitate the task of identifica tion Lady Brassey inserted a fac simile etching of the two bottles in her new book. About a week after its publica tion the fun began Soda water bottles came pouring in by rail, van and parcel post, until the back yard at Norman- burst became impassable and bottle racks at a premium. The lot are now to be had cheap. Soda water manufacturers, take notice!—London Times. Where the Water Goes. It is estimated that each year from 34,000 to 35,000 cubic mile3 of rain falls upon the surface of the globe. IVhat becomes of it? The rivers seldom carry off one-half, except in regions of close- grained rocks; the rest disappears by evaporation, by the absorption of the earth, and by being taken up by plants, animals and mineral oxidation. In most parts of temperate latitudes the removal by rivers is from a third to two-fifths ol what falls; in warm latitudes the amount is less, and may be under one-tenth’. The Mississippi carries away one-fourth of the rainfall of its drainage area; the Missouri, three-twentieths; the Ohio, one-fourth; the rivers of England anil Wales, nine-sixteenihs. WTORDS OF WISDOM. Truth, like the sunbeam, cannot be soiled by any outward touch. It Is the struggle and not the attain ment that measures character. A weapon should be taken away from, but not given to, an angry man. Imitation and sham in any character arc but synonyms for weakness.. Good will, like a good name, is gained by many actions and. lost by one. Depend upon it, he is a good man whose intimate friends arc all good. . Great good often remains unaccom plished, merely because it is not at tempted. Creed*is meant to influence conduct. Character is the aim aud the test of doctrine. Opinions alter, manuprs change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on tablets of eternity. Don’t judge a man by. the noise lie makes in this world. Two trade dollars in the pocket will make more jingle than $10,000 in bills. Beautiful souls are often put into plain bodies; but they cannot bo hidden, and have a power all their own, the greater for the unconsciousness or humility which gives it grace. To repress a harsh answer, to confess a fault, to stop, whether right or wrong, in the midst of self-defense, in gent.e submission—these, sometimes, require a a great struggle for life and death, but these three efforts are the golden threads of which domestic happiness is woven. A Ship’s Remarkable Voyage. Captain J. N. Armstrong, now in com mand of the bark Kalakaua, loading lumber at Port Blakely for the west coast of South America, was in Seattle the other day. Captain Armstrong will be remembered as the commander who brought the ship Templar from New York to San Francisco a few years ago on one of the most remarkable passages on record. After being out for some time, the captain went to a foreign port, and for some reason his crew, excepting the officers, left. Finally two English ships came in, and from them Captain Armstrong made up a new crew, and after being out four days, the entire crew, including tho captain and his. daughter, were, taken down with yellow fever. The first mate.died, an:l several ot' the sailors. These who hud the dis ease les3 violent threw the dead over board, oue by one. The ship drifted about without iL pilot or navigator for more than a year. The captaiu, for twd years, was so violent from the ravages of the fever that he had to be chained to the deck to keep him from jumping overboard. He wears the scars from the chains and lashings to this day. During the year that tiio ship drifted about, the second mate and three or four of the sailors recovered, but being out of sight of land, and not understanding navigation, they were powerless to do anything with the ship. Finally the daughter regained her reason, but not her strength. One day she sent for the Second Mate and asked him to carry her on deck, which he did. She. then sent for her father's instruments, and by the aid ol these and her knowledge of naviga tion she figured out the location of the vessel. She then took the charts from the cabin and traced out a route to Sau Francisco. She then practically took command of the vessel and ordered the Second Mate and surviving mimbers of the crew to make sail, and gave them the direotion in which to sail. Every day for months she would be carried oa deck to take the sun aud give her orders. Days and weeks passed aud the ship continued on her journey. Being so light-handed tl\e vessel could not be properly handled and could carry but frrarstr slow. After many weary, dreary Vitontl the Captain regained his reason, and when he learned of what his daughter had done he was greatly surprised, and declared that had he been placed in the same position he could not have done better. The ship was loaded with general merchandise, the cargo being in sured for over $200,000. The long ab sence of the ship, and no tidings from her, led the owners and all interested paities to believe that she, with all hands on board, had been lost. Imagine their surprise, after the supposed fate of the ship had almost passed from their minds, when one bright day in summer the ship Templar, with her cargo all intact, came sailing into San Francisco bay.—Seattle (W. T.) Post-Intelliqencer. Gypsy Attire. Their usual attire is that ot the “old clothes man.” There is nothing to dis tinguish them by their dress, which is made up of any kind of wearing apparel that may have come into their possession. The women and girls, while dressing in linen, calico or heavy jeans, frequently adorn themselves with a bright colored ribbon or two, cheap tawdry jewelry,and have their head euveloped in a bandanna. Iu some rich communities of gypsies in the United States, notably at and near Dayton, Ohio, they assume the conven tional dress and style of the day. These nomads in various parts of Europe natur ally follow the costumes of the people among whom or with whom they are liv ing, but there is no poetry, no romance in the squalid, filthy apparel of the ver itable gypsy. The gypsy of the stage is usually attired like an Italian or Spanish brigand, with short cutaway (Ejacket, flounced shirt, velvet knee breeches, silk stockings, pumps, three cornered hat or a‘mixture of the turban, bis dress sparkling with gold braid,precious stones aud Lake Erie diamonds. The gypsy maiden of the same romantic connection has a fleecy white dress or robes of trail ing satin, with a bit of ruche and a price less pearl at her throat and a mantilla thrown about her raven tresses—the style of a dancing or a flower girl of Southern Europe. Only a dazzling brunette, with flashing black eyes, could successfully personate a gypsy, as the race are uni versally very dark complexioned, owing principally to the result of their natural aversion to soap and water.—San Fran cisco Call. The Coining Light. It has been sanguinely predicted that withjn five years the magnesium light will be.as familiar a sight in many places as the e'cctric light is to-day. Only the highc^st of magnesium has hitherto kept it from extensive use, and its price, which was $40 a pound a few years ago, is said to have been reduced to $8 a pound by a new German process, with the prospect of further cheapening. A wire of moderate size equals the light of seventy-five stear- ine candles, making the cost at present but little more than that of gas, while no expensive works or street mains are re quired for its use. The magnesium is simply burned in lamps ’provided with clock-work movement to feed the ribbon of metal regularly. There is no danger, as with electricitv. Glass flooring continues to grow in favor for public building. Its first cost is greater than wood flooring, but its greater durability renders it far cheaper in the end. THE RITE OF J0I1UR. An Awful Sacrifice made by Fanatical ff#< men iu Old India. [A Hindoo in tho Pall Mall Gazette.] . In a Reuter’s telegram of the 21st of October I read: “A repetitiou of the Johur ordeal has occurred in a Brahmin village near Neemuch, in Bengal: the object being to avoid the Tonic Durbar assessment. The two victims calmly as cended the funeral pyre, and bravely met death. The villagers afterwards took their charred heads to Odeyporc.” Neemuch is a town and British canton ment in the territory of Gwalior, and is situated at a short distance from the boundary separating that tract of coun try from tho ctate of Odeypore, in Raj- pcotana. It is just where one would expect the Johur to take place, if any where; for it is essentially a Rajpoot rite, like tho sacrifice of widows and in fants. The present case is a remarkable one; for Johur, in past history, was never used to avoid assessment, and the telegram docs not say whether the vic tims are male or female. Johur is an awful rite. A whole triba may become extinct by it, as is seen by several instances recorded in the history of the Rajpoot States. What it signifies is the burning of women to save their honor. The Rajpoot is profoundly jeal ous of the honor of his women, and to prevent their falling into the hands of conquerors, then to be dealt with as was often the case in tho wnrs with the Ma* hometans, he has recourse to the Johur —that is to say, the immolation of every female of the family. And the Rajpoot woman gladly embraces such a refuge from pollution; or even if she were not in fear of being forced away as a captive, she would prefer it to living on as a widow. The loss of a battle or the capture of a city during the Mahometan invasions was usually the time when this dreadful rite was practised. At the end of the famed siege of . Chectore, the ancient capital of tho Rana of Odeyporc, by Ala- uddln, in 1303 the Rajpoot chief, after an arduous day, passed the night in pondering the means by which he might save from the general destruction one at least of his twelve sons Eleven of them fell during the next few days, and when but one son remained to the R ma he proclaimed the Johur. The funeral pyre was lighted within subterranean chambers where the sun’s rays had never entered, and the defenders of Chectore beheld the queens, and their own wives and daughters to the number of several thousands, pass in procession to the lire. 1 he beaiitilul Pudmani, the consort of tho Rana, who was believed to be the chief object of attraction for tho con quering Tartar, came last in the throng. The door of the caverns closed; the fires raged witlnu; and the honor of the Raj poot women was saved. When after wards Alia-uddin entered the capital on' the death of the Rana and his surviving son, who fell in the conflict, he found it strewn with the bodies of its defenders, while smoke yet issued from the recesses where the women had perished. Again during the second siege of Cheetore by Bahadoor, Shan of Gujrat in 1530, when the bravest had fallen in de fending the breach caused by his artil lery (it was served by Portuguese ad- ventuiers), the Johur was proclaimed. There was little time to build the pyre. Combustibles were heaped up in hurried ly-made hollows in the ground and magazines were placed around them. The mother of the infaut prince led the procession of willing victims to their doom afld 13,000 females were thus im molated at once. In the Johur on the occasion of Firoz Shah’s attack upon Jessulmir, some years after tho event above described, 10,000 females were destroyed. Johur_ was practised not only when the foe tfie tustfuf ami *blc'od - thirsty Tartar, tncre are also instances of it in the intertribal wars of tho Rajpoots. Numerous inscriptions on stone and on brass, according to the archaeologists, record as the first token of victory the captive wives of the foe, and the law of Manu with regard to female captives in war is analogous to those of Moses and Mahomet on the same point.
