But It had) and at an early hour the boys trooped off to High street, to see the wagons and hear the intile, and get glimpses whenever they could of the animals in cages. The old elephant could not be hidden in a cage, and the boys all voted him tile greatest wonder of all, with his big flapping ears and swinging trunk'.

BEES AND 1ONEY PLAN-is.-I had two hundred colonies of hybrid bees last autunin, and I have not lost more tman six. Tho winter having been unusually cool, bees have not been' out as much as usual am.1 consequently los ses have beon less. Outl' boo season commences in February and continues till near December, giving us a long working season, when we take care to keep a succession of flowers for pastur age. In September we usually have the greatest drought of the season and nearly all our wild flowers are dried up. During this dry season if nothing is prepare' by citivation for pasturage, the bees get scarcely enough to subsist ipon. Our lucerne meadows give great help, but generally as soon as the plants get well iI blossoin, the mower spoils all the prospects of honey from that source. lin all uiy experience with boos, I find Mignonetto the most valua ble for bee pasturage. This I announ ced through the be Journals moveral years ago, and continued experience has streigthened thatconclusion. That plinit blooms early and continues to blossom till iipped by frost. I have not a shade of doubt but that a well cultivated nero of this plant would give abundant employnment for 500 colonIes. Sweet clover comies next to AlIguonettee iII value for bees. There is little doubt but that this p.ant will yIeld honey laster than Mignonetto, but being a perennial, it costs double what the oth er does that blossoms annually and is self-sceding after having onco been stareMd. There is still another very voluable plant, fo bees, knownt as the "Americln bee plant" that was intro duced into the Cast in 1858. It grows in sand, 1s a wonderful bloomer and honey-producer, but the honey from it ackH the 11110 flavor of that collected frout the lrat-named plants. I3nNYAuD A dO) A ariictIA , 1i4:'rim, xirni.-In a recent address in Eigland oni chealistry In Its relatiois to agricul tire, Mr. J. It Lawes submitted the following general conclusions arrived it by experiments. That a mineral 411p)erh)oIsplate of lime hains giv en at cosiderablo increase in each crop of a rotation, although used without any ithor mamuro lor a period of thirty years. That in consequence of grains -ontain! ng large quantitIes of nitrogen And phosphoric acld and small quimti Lies of potash, manures containing sol lable phosphoric acid and solublo uitro 4en, as ammonia or nitro acid, are es Ipeeially applienble to these crops. That w here crop eon taln Ig large quantit les f' potash, such as roots, potatous, and lay, are sold oir the farm, maiures ontainiig potash, such as purchased ligs, appear to be more suiltable. 'hat although potash, phoisphor Ic acid, imnd nitrogen are tIe chief manur in 4redlents in farmyard dung, in the ranure from artificial foods, and in irtificial ilanures, still the differences n forin II which these substances are net, with greatly alect their value; the present methot of analyzing manure 1e1s not properly recognize these dis Linctions, and the viliut,iions founded itpon these analyses are altogether false ind erroneoits. Cu mrU lOF CA UnAoG.-SInce the ad veilt of 1he cabbage worn almonst every )ltme hIs been alt a loss to know what to lo Lo raise a few cabbages. Some have Lried ono thig and some have tried 111o1her, and mostly to no purpose. Last, year I set about three hundred and thirty-yIve plants, and picked oft' the wor .s by hand as they came, for about two weeks wvhich took some two hours each day. Th'lis seemed to be too much work, and( als I have a wvell of' soft water near by, I took a ilve-pall kettle, set it near the well, put mto( It a Inlt of soft soap1 and1( the 51ame1 ofrsalt, aind thenl fill mtd it usp with wvater. I let this standl till tihe waiter was watrmed by thle sun1 and1( then after stirring~ it up well, i took miy water-pot and applied it alt thme rate of ab~out a gallon to forty heads, puittig It in the' center. I did this every dlay ani the result was I had the nlicest and hardest catbbages thalt were ever raised. I had 110 troubllle to got tell cents p)er heaiud alithough cabbage wais very chleap) here. Scale make a p~ractice of buyIng their plants, but I woiuld not give 0110 cent perl humndredi unaless I knew whlat I was gettIng. SOMEt yeors ago I was detained in re turnting home by a bread~lii time railroadt, reqmiring a detour of' seine twenty mliles. In order to make this I hired a buggy anld driver.

TIhe following is the reeilpo: For a saek of corn (four bushels) take half a pint of gals tamr, one0 pound~ of vitrl'O, an~d one gallon of hot water; pour the liquhil we'lh mnixed, over the seed with a common wateing Ipot twelve hours before AkwIg. If seedl-corn of any kind is thtus treated rooks will not touch it, for they, as weoll 1as other birds, appear to have a groat dislike to the tar.
