1 Haw to Tame Bees. Many persons while watching anl exhibition of bees in<a movable trumol hive, at the Fails, taking out ami re-1 turning the frames of tomb- covered with bees, sind ms they hung iu clus ters front the frames, removing them by bluxifuls. with no more apparent fear than though they were so many flies, have regarded the process as a sort of wiVcheVy; they have thought that none hut the operator, and possi bly a few others, could have such per fect and fearless control over their bees: Instead of this : being actually the case, it is the reverse ; for no per-! son abut ;1 ha vo: yet seen, who has fol-| lowed the directions for “Taming' Bees” that I purpose to give, has been unable, after a little practice, to have full and absolute control over them. I understand that a specula'or in Can ada has made the proposition “ to in struct bee-keepers in the art of taming bees for the exceedingly low priee of $lO each !” But the readers of this j lurrial can save their $lO, and learn the whole art by observing the follow ing directions, which the writtr has practiced fur years. Tiio whole art of “taming bees” is embodied in the following: Ist—A honey-bee filled with honey or “liquid sweets,” will not sting of bis own ac cord. 2d Bees, when frightened, will generally fill themselves with hinny ; and, if given “ liquid sweets,” will invariably accept of them. Bees may be frightened thus: Ist By'con fining them to the hive, aim rapping the sides of it lightly with a small stick, or the palms of the hands. At first, the bees will try to get suit, but find ing that impossible, they will then rush to their stores and fill themselves with honey. 2d. By blowing upon them the smoke of punk (rotten wood)' What is termed “liquid sweets” is water well sweetened with hofiey or sugar. Sugar is preferable, as bees from neighboring hives, or those in close proximity, are not so readily at tracted by it. For many years I used mainly the smoke of tobacco and cotton rags, but tills season, in all operations 1 have: used nothing but the smoke of “panic.” This is not so pungent as that of to bacco. In order to make the foregoing di-’ rections a little more clear, I will now set forth the modus operandi of ta ming the most irritable colony of bees in the Langstrotb hive; which will answer, somewhat modified, for all col onies in all kinds of hives. Set the punk on fire, and blow a little smoke into the entrance of the hive. This will cause the bees near the entrance to retreat and go among the combs. Now take off the top cover, and blow enough smoke into the holes or slats of the surplus honey re- OejiUvf'lc euvav, t,. ........... — ll 11 go below the tops of the frames, when tliis cover may also be removed. Blow sufficient smoke upon the bees to keep them below among the combs. Unless the colony be very populous, the bees will now nearly till he found hastily fillino- their-sacs with honey, and will generally;be ready to operate upon in from five to fifteen minutes. Should the operator desire to commence ta king out the combs as soon its possi ble, he may sprinkle the bees with the sweetened water. Toose not filling their sacs front the cells of honey will commence at once to gorge themselves' wth this preparation. I seldom have occasion—except at the Fairs —to use the “liquid sweets.” I would advise beginners to use a bee-hat until they have had some experience—which may then, tit times, be discarded. Reader, just.operate upon a colony lit the wav described, anti you will probably be surprised-to find that you can more easily and readily subject the most irritable’ colony <>f bees to your control, than can Raroy an ordi nary animal of the equine rate. — M. M. ‘ Baldridge, in the American Ag riculturist. ■ Top- Dressing.—At anytime when the immediate surface of the ground is not frozen, top dressings of super phosphate may lie applied with profit. The moist condition of the sojl. at'this season of the year, is every wav favor able for the dissemination of tip dress ing, so that its equal division through the soil by spring will materially im prove the early growth of plant*. One groat advantage arising from the use of fall top-dressings for grass and grain crops, is the more extensive di vision of the manure through the sur face-soil, thus bringing it in contact! with greater number of roots. Pickled Appi.es. —Take a peck of sweet apples and pare them ; boil them until tender in a syrup made of four pounds of sugar and a quart of vine gar ; then remove them from this sy rup, and make anew syrup of five! pounds of sugar and a quart of vine gar, to which add two teaspoonfuls each of cloves and cinnamon, tied in‘ a bag; let this -syrup boil fifteen or twenty minutes, and pour it, while hot. over the fruit. The first may be used for other sauce. , Transplanting Evergreens.— ls the roots of evergreens get dry at the time of transplanting, death is almost pertain. Keep the roots covered and moist, spread them naturally, and cover with good mellow earth. Be careful not to plant too deep. The present season is propitious fjpr planting. Ta E GEORGIA WEEK LY.
