as to raise bees, as most of us have for
years done, in gums and boxes. We
have just about as much control, for
useful purposes, over the one as the
other.
Now, I think it to pre
vent serious loss occasionally, and even
semi occasionally, in the old hive;
losses readily prevented in improv 'd
hives, by those who have a little expe
rience
I will now state what I think are
facts, or rules, necessary to prevent
moths, and if they are earried out
faithfully, I think, we have but little to
fear from that source:
You must have a good, strong colo
ny with a Queen ; a hive, the entrance
to which can be regulated, each joint
fitting well, so that even a moth can
not enter at any other point except
the one at which the bee enters; it
must also have frames ; you must at
tend to it.
Now for the reasons for the rules
just given :
The moth makes its appearance here
in February and March, and may be
said to lay, or breed, twice each year —
in the spring and latter part of summer
or fall—though you can find instances
all through the warm season.
Bees, during the warm or working
season, when they are all right, always
keep a guard at the entrance, day and
night. Whenever a colony has lost its
Queen, with no brood from which to
rear one, it sooner or later falls a vic
tim to this insatiable enemy, and, like
an army without a leader, becomes de
moralized and dispirited, and will not
even defend themselves from their
weakest foe, but stand aside and see
all the fruits of their labors wasted
and destroyed, and in turn, perish and
be destroyed themselves.
You can sometimes find a hive from
which the bees have gone, and its
combs full of honey ; again, you can
find small colonies vigorous enough to
protect themselves. It is my experi
ence that more colonies are lost from
being queenless, than every other
thing put together, and you may con
sider a colony without a Queen as
doomed, unless her place is supplied ;
hence, the necessity of hives having
frames, as we can then examine them,
and if there are eggs to be found, (ex
cept as hereafter stated,) you may con
clude that there is no Queen.
When the first swarm issues, the old
Queen goes with it; in three or four
days the last egg will have hatched, or
become a very small worm or larva ; in,
say eight days, the second, or after
swarm, issues; in from ten to fifteen
days more, the young Queen will have
become fertilized and commenced to
lay eggs, usually on one of the centre
frames; this is the only period of
time, during the working season, when
there will be no eggs found in a good
colony with a Queen. Should you find
a colony without a Queen, take a
frame from a hive having a Queen,
and on which there are eggs, and give
it to the queenless hive, and in the
course of sixteen or eighteen days, they
will have reared one.
You next wish a good hive, in order
that you can examine the state of your
bees. To take frames from strong
ones, and give to weak ones ; to build
them up, and to give a Queen where
they have none; to make the entrance
small in the cool weather, and when
the colony is weak ; to clean off the
bottom board where the trimmings
have fallen, for, here it is that the
moth, having been warded off from the
combs, by the bees, will lay her eggs,
which cm be easily destroyed, by
cleaning off the trash, etc.
It must be fitted together well, so
that the moth cannot find an entrance
anvwhere, excep f at the regular en
trance, as here the bees are always on
guard ; it must also have frames, so
THK CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTHEASTERN BAPTIST.
—The Master of the Missouri State
Grange very sensibly says :
“If we had a simple system of crop reports
and statistices, promptly made, and redistribu
ted, so that all surplus products and their exact
locality be ascer'ained, supply and demand
could soon be well controlled, and an inter
change of products of different sections effec
ted, at reduced expanse of intermediate hand
ling; through freights instead of local ones,
saving vast amounts in cost of transportation,
and ultimately enabling farmers at last to fix
prices on the product of their own labor. Co
operative buying is all right, and good so far as
it goes ; but co-operative selling is more impor
tant with farmers, and necessarily a Btep prece
dent to that of purchasing. Farmers must sell,
before they can buy for cash. They have
more to hope for from co-operative selling
than buying. This idea ought not to be lost
sight ot. Crop reports should be the founda
tion of our co-operative system. Then we have
something to build on.”
The Grange Bulletin says:
If tie Grange is to be of educational
benefit to any one, it must be so mainly
to the young. It is hard for older per
sons to give up life-long habits of any
kind, but especially intellectual. If a
man does not form a taste for reading
in his youth, it is very difficult for him
to do so in after life; and if he does
• not acquire the habit of public speak
ing while he is young and his body and
tpind are flexible, it is almost impossi
ble for him to acquire it after age has
stiffened his limbs and faculties. There
are, of course, instances in which men
have turned students late in life, and
shown all the aptness and skill of youth
ful scholars, but these are very rare.
Generally, men musi, to profit by
them, receive their educational advant
ages vfrhile they are yet young. Hence
the educational efforts of the Grange
are designed chiefly for the youthful
members and theyoung men and young
women who may hereafter become mem
bers. Tt is, therefore necessary,, in
order that those efforts may be service
able, that we have them reach those
whom they are most designed to ben
efit. We should encourage the young
men and the young women too, to speak
in the Grange meetings, and to partic
ipate in all improving exercises of the
Grange. They might, by writing and
reading essays, debating questions and
reading selections from good books,
besides training themselves, contribute
much toward the entertainment and
even instruction, of those of their
elders who have not the desire or
ability to perform such exercises them
selves.
—The Patrons’ Gazette well says :
Patrons of Husbandry are farmers,
and agriculture claims our first and
most earnest attention. To make more
and better farmers throughout the
country should be onr first ambition.
If trade is engaged in by Patrons, it
should be from disagreeable necessity,
and not from the hope of gain. Our
own profession will yield us, individu
ally and collectively, more wealth and
happiness, than any other in which we
can engage, if we give to it the labor
and love of which it is worthy.
It is right that we should combine
for the purpose of purchasing what we
must purchase, upon the most advan
tageous terms, and of placing ou l, pro
ductions in the best market at the least
possible cost; but let it always be with
the end in view of making agriculture
more profitable and attractive. And
let us endeavor to make it so enticing
a pursuit that the thousands of un
necessary traders, who are losing their
business in consequence of the success
of our combination for these purposes,
shall join us in adding to the wealth
and true prosperity ot the fraternity
and of the nation.
—S. E. Cockrill, in his report to the
Arkansas State Grange on commercial
relations, gives the following instance
of what may be accomplished by genu
ine co-operation:
“I will illustrate by one article in the cotton
belt, bagging and ties: The State agents of Ar
kansas, Alabama, Texas, Mississippi, Lousi
ana, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and
Tennessee can bulk their orders and send them
to the cheapest country in the world for bag
ging and ties, and make an order for 2,000,000
bales of cotton, to be repeated in size to coyer
the whole crop of 4,000,000 bales. I am in
formed bagging may be delivered in this coun
try at eight cents a yard and ties three and a
half cents for new and two and a half for sec
ond hand—those which have been once used—
a saving on bagging and ties of $8,000,000 per
annum, and this for ten crops is the enormous
sum of $80,000,000 to cotton growers alone on
one article.

Consumption Can be Cured.
AFTER being pronounced in a hopeless stago
of consumption by an eminent physician of
Montgomery, Alabama, in 1855, I made appli
cation to an old and experienced doctor that
made that disease a specialty, and cured nine
out of ton of all the caseH ho treated, and after
adopting his treatment, I soon recovered, and,
having a relapse in the army in 1852, was sent
home to die with phthisis pulmonalis, but soon
recovered, after being able to get the proper
treatment, and, after repeated trials upon oth
ers, I am convinced that this treatment will cure
niue out of ten of all that will avail themselves
of it in due time, and, as I wish to retire from
the practice of medicine, I will send the necessa
ry instructions so any one can use it themselves
for $lO, or if preferred, will send the medicine
with directions, sufficient to ouro for $25.
