News and Courier. The scuppernonj? grape grows in the greatest luxuriance all through this section, and all other varie ties of grapes that have been tried have succeeded beyond the most san guine expectations. At Williston, J. M. Smith has about 500 vines that are growing wyll and fruiting Iieayily, and in no other ^eQt|on of atiy fruit-growing belt can a greater variety of fruit be successful ly cultivated than in the Williston neighborhood. At Windsor about 3t'X) acres have been planted in the scuppernong and ^English varieties of grapes. Within t\yo miles of this place at leai.t four vineyatd> have been established. At JllackvilleDi. Lartigue has a fine vine- ytud, which covers four acres of ground. He is growing successfully eleven different varieties of grapes Itgsides the scuppernong. Mr. H. C. Itobinaon, who lives near Aikcu, has a flourishing vineyard and will ship this year about 7o crates of grapes. Mr. James Powell, of the same sec tion, will ship from ^0 to KX,* baskets of grapes. Mr. G. It. Allen, of Montmo- renel, has succeeded very well in rais ing grapes on a small scale, and has *»,ade some most excellent wine from f * * the scupper liong. The largest and most flourishing yineyard in this section is owned by tho Satterthwuitos, who live on kl Itoseland Farm,” about two miles above Montmorenci. Their farm is a thing of beauty. It is situated about fifty yards from the railroad track, and is one of the most completely equipped establishments in the State. ?They have, about forty acres planted in grapes and have invested about $25,000 in the business. They have about 15,000 vines. They grow al most exclusively the Niagara grape, ‘‘a purely native new white grape,’’ equal in size and flavor to the besj, imported Malaga grapes. In addition Jo tljis grafic they have also succeeded very w«tel in growing the “Concord” and several other varieties. The ^•Niagara” is a new grape in this sec tion. Tho Satterthwaitos think it is the best grape that can be grown in this section. They have not shipped many of them to market yet, but the few baskets that were sent to Charles- Jton last year were readily sold at fif teen.cents a pound at v/h'ole.-aje, yli<: n the black py'jf -v. o.Ur- from two to four cents a pound. Last year Redlield, of Philadelphia, sold •Rogers’s entire crop of these grapes ^t from twenty to twenty-live cents a pound. Last year some of tho Bat- terth waite “Niagaras” were damaged by the rot, but the damage was incon siderable and some of the vines were not attacked at all. The “Niagara” Js a hardy grape, tho strongest kiud of grower and a great bearer. It can be shipped safely to any point. It is ready for market about July 20. The crop this year is very good, and the vines are loaded with fruit. Borne of the vinos will yield at least 25 pounds of grapes. Three thousand of the vipes in thq Batterthwaite vineyard arc “coming \nto bearing,” and it is expected that they will have four thousand baskets, or two hundred thousand pounds cf grapes for ship- inent to outside markets tills year, besides the shipments that will be made to Charleston, and the quantity of fruit that will be consumed at home. Borne idea of the prolific quality of the Niagara grape may be had when it is stated that many vines that are just beginning to bear in the Sut- lerthwaite vineyard contain twenty- five large clusters. These cluster >vill weigh when ripe from one-half of a pound to one pound each. A little sum in multiplication will show the Immense profit in raising such fruit as this. Mr. B. C. Batterth waite is taking every precaution to produce the hnest fruit. This year he has selected the largest clusters oil the vines and pinned them up in paper bags so as to protect them from the birds and to shield them from the sun. He has p{ 1 — 1 —■* —rues for propagation Borne of the st year at a goo 1 j price. Not including what have been i sent to Aiken and consumed at home, [ up to Wednesday last about <SO0 pints , had been gathered from the bushes this year at two pickings. These! berries sold n* 15 cents a pint. Mr. Batterthwaite thinks that there is a great deal of money iu raspberries at 12';. cents a pint, and, as he express ed it, does “not want any better tiling.” Those who have tasted the berries are very much pleased with the quality of the fruit and dealers have found no trouble in selling them. Mr. Batterthwaite thinks that The blackberry is also grown to the greatest perfecticn on “Roseland 1 Farm.” About one acre has been j planted in the earlv Wilson variety which has succeeded well. The ber ries are being shipped to Charleston this year and coipmand ready sale. They are large and juicy, have no core and are of a most delicious flavor. They begin to ripen about the first of June and last ten days or two weeks. They are worth 25 cents a quart and are as unlike the ordinary berry us possible. This imperfect sketch of the re sources of the fruit-growing belt of Barnwell and Aiken could be extend ed to an almost indefinite legntli. The industry is becoming more ex tensive every year and there is virtu ally no limit to tiie profitable expan sion of the business. Official Directory. United States. President, Grovkh Clkvkj.axd.

Enterprise and Mountaineer. Most persons think that bees are very cross and always rqady to sting, but I find from daily contact with them that they are highly docile. But there is much to learn at: how and when to work with them. At the proper time and ip the proper man ner I can go among them all day with out being stung. At times it is haz ardous to open a hive or to break a cell and give the bees a smell or taste of honey. It is advisable to let them alone when they are not gather ing honey or when there is none to gather, or just after a hard rain, ora cool windy day. They are then dis posed to rob each other, and when that commences they will sting on slight provocation. I find that the middle of tho day is tho best time to work with them, though when the yield of honey is a very large one can work among them from sunrise to sunset and scatter honey everywhere and they will not resent it. To-day (2!)th May) I had to examine some fine que.cn-celIs just after the fain, and 1 was obliged to cover tho hive with a sheet to keep out robbers, and I was stung oftener than I had been all the spring. The apiarist will spqn learn the temper of bees by the different sounds they make, for they have as great a variety of notes as there are in- the musical scale. By listening you will learn her first note which is made when she leaves the hive logo on in quest of hqney. As she rises to fly While gath- 1^0,000 Vines to sell this year.

T^je vines are worth $2 each. RASPREi.lilRS AND RLACKREItRIKP. Oneof tho most interesting experi ments that has been made on tho Bat terthwaite farm has been in thecultiva tiou of English raspberries. Mr. B. C. Batterthwaite says that twelve years ago he commenced to try to find a rasp berry that could be succesfully culti vated in this section. 'Ibis is not a raspberry country, and those Who have tried to raise this fruit have gen erally failed. Mr. Batterthwaite tried every variety, but did not succeed Until he began his experiments with Vr’hat he calls the “Red Colossal”—a huge red berry cf the most delicate flavor. It has exceeded his expecta tions in all respects. It will stand the heat of the summer and the cold of winter equally as well, and is a vig orous grower. The Batterth waites pave two acres planted in raspberries, or about 10,000 bushes. One acre of the bushes is now in beari ng. The plants are worth fifty cents each. The method of cultivation is simple. Huy are planted iu rows, running north and south, four feet apart. The land is a sandy loam, or what is call ed “go al cotton land.” The bushes yield from three to four quarts each, and the berries are ready for shipment her song is tehee, tehee. ering i, and when she is laden and ready to retujrn she hums still another tune. You can learn their note of anger by tapping on the hive without first stupefying them with smoke. When engaged in robbery they make a sound peculiarly distinct from their other notes. I have said enough about the anger of bees: I will now say a few words about ants in connection with bees. I have never seen them stealing honey from the hive, but they will help themselves to that which the house wife has stored iu her closet or cup board. They are of service to the bees in removing from the hive bits of worms and j’oung bees that have been cut up by the boos, and which would have to be carried out by thq swarm if the ants were not their willing ser vants. If you have a strong colony of Italian bees thej can defend them selves against moths and ants, and at the same time they are most gentle and Iosj disposed to sting than any other variety. J. D.

At first—that is while he is a little baby and guided by instinct —he will not do it, but kicks and yells until ho gets his stonach full before lie will shut quo eye. Then he cuddles down and sleeps like a top until lie gets hungry again. When he gets big enough to be spanked, he is sijbji^t^i to a sovem course- of -ffi%tyncf| aUdTirdefiance of nature he can get to sleep with the cries of his nervous and physical system for food ringing in his ears. His sleep will be more or less dis turbed by this clamor,but it isattribir- ed to nervousness. He gets up in the mornim; feeling tired and exhausted No wonder; all of the forces engaged in restoring the waste of body during the waking hovirs, have been idle half the the night for want of material to work on. The common sen*e of tho thing is this: While the mind is active the blood vessels of the brain are distend ed. To secure rest for the mind, the quantity of blood in the brain must be reduced. To secure proper diges tion of food, the blood vessels of the stomach must be well tilled. Now, it isso arranged that when the vessels of the stomach are full, those of the brain are depleted, and vice versa. Therefore, to exercise the mind and call the blood away from the stomach immediately after eating, interferes with digestion, and, if persevered in, brings on dyspepsia. On the other hand, by lying down and tqking a nap after eating, as other animals are wont t* do, perfect diges tion is secured. The stomach draws the surplus blood from the brain and uses the increased vital energy to as- si.'l in the digestion of food. The ab sence of this amour brain gives It a chance to rest. Thus two very important organs have been materially aided in the discharge of their particular functions. totf Trie jjegisiaCtlTo llfeeUT* oh I no fourth Tuesday in November qf each year.
