Before Jaying shingles upon your build ings, immerse tnem for a snort time in lime water, puttuig tnem in place upon the root lmmedately on removing tbem. This will add immensely to their value. Poultry perches should all be on a lev el with each other. This prevents quar relling for the highest plaoe, and prevents irjury to the old and heavy fowls who may be crowded from the top perch. It is the poorest kind of an investment to invest in poor land. The more one owdb the poorer he is, as a rule. Good land may become poor, however, if no re turns are made to it, in compensation for its crops. Give the boys time to have one square hunt before the heavy work of the com .log season begins.

'The Hollanders have loag been persistent drainers of the country, principally from the fact that much of it was so wet as to preclude cultivation un til drained. Hence they have invented many curious means of freeingthe land q! surface water. ; They are especially noted when emigrating to the West for eelec ting lands nsoaily regarded as of little value, for want of drainage. . In Michigan. Illinois, Iowa and in other .States where they have settled, thev have rendered such lands among the 'most valuable in their States. It is (be result of a well di gested system of drainage and thorough cultivation, and the lessons thus taught have been appreciated by their neighbors. It is to be hoped that the impetus given to drainage of late years will not be al lowed to flag, if some dry seasons sboald intervene.

I need not describe this won derful little insect. He is familiar to all, and "painfully" familiar to such as have ventured near his home in tbe "busy sea eon." All may not know that tbe bee has six lege and two .atoracehs iW&b n wiir doubt that be has ftne "sting." The bee has wonderful muscular strength, and the power of rapid and long continued flight Since the invention of tbe glass hive (in 1712,) tbe character and habits of tbe bed have , been studied with great care and success. A hive of Eoney-bees consists of three kinds, viz : females, males . apd workers. Tbe females are called queens, but' only one can live in the same hive. Her pres ence is indispensable to the establishment and maintenance of the government. The males are called drones, and may exist by hundreds and thousands in every hive, but they do not work. The workers are still more numerous. These are supposed to belong to neither sex, and are. some times called neuters. : : Here we have ; a monarchy as completely, organized - and systematized as any depotism on earth, with a queen on the throne. Or we, may consider the bee-hivefrom another stand Doint. and call it a community M.ormoo- ibm inverted, not many wives to ope hus band but many husbands to , one wife 1 These husbands are all drones, being on their dignity, and pridiog themselves oh their royalty I There is, then, anLaris tocracy of nature, as manifested in the instincts of the insect world, and it seems to be hereditary. v ' Have the kingdoms of the arth copied tbe government of the bee-hive? The queen Lee lays the eggs from which tbe race is perpetuated. The males "bang around" in idleness until : they die or. are killed.' Tbe .workers secrete the wax, boild te cells, and feed and protect the young, . The males have no weapons ot defnseandr drones as. they are, they have no right to defend., themselves. Is this the reason they are defenseless ? . Tbe females and workers have stings- The Bting consists of a sheath inclosing needle ! shaped darts of .extreme fineness placed side by side. . Towards .the end, these darts are armed .with miuojte teeth, like a saw. The Ming is worked, by very pow erful muscles. , When it enters; the flesh an acid poison contained in a bag near its base is squeezed into the wound, and acute Pain and swelling are tbe result. When a colony of enraged bees whose hive has been upset attack a man, even his life is in peril. The workers are more fierce and .warlike than the qpeen, though both are ."armed and equipped as the law directs." The. three kinds of bees are, oi different size .and may be easily recog nized. The queen is the largest, the male next in eiza, and the - workers tbe smallest The queen lives in : the middle of the hive, moves about in all her digni ty, and receives the homage of her sub jects. When a hew swarm has been hatched the queen leads them out in per son. ..She is .the mother of the- whole colony, numbering Irom twenty to thirty thousand, and hence she rightly governs all. If she is removed from the hive; the whole swarm follows her. The workers construct three kinds of cells for the three kinds of bees. The queen deposits her eggs in these cells, and never makes any mistakes as to tbe kind of eggs she lays in each. And in this manner the ca rious work goes on. Educator in Indiana Farmer.

It is the highest county, it average altitude rising to near 3.500 feet, tbat of tbe court bouse being 3,250, just 1,000 feet above " Asbville. It has the. most extensive and unbroken and munificent oak forest, to be found. Us soil is almost UDifoaply productive. And most singular of all, it ban nd old fields, a term which describes one half of all our open lands. And1 there is more evidence of improvement and thrift than in any other station, away from the rail ways. It has the finest summer climate to be 'found Ibis side f tbe' Rocky Mountains, and the only condition want ing to make it the most' frequented is ac cessibility; and this difficulty will be re moved in great part witoin a year by the completion of the Narrdw Gauge railroad Xb ijedolr,rom-w wrrpirtC -pTawaa is reached by a turnpike of 20 miles over one of the easiest crossings of tbe whole Blue Ridge. Watauga is a fine wheat county. The best buckwheat in tbe United States is raised here,' atid two new arid com plete buckwheat mills! have been erected within a few years. No such cabbages come to market, as are raised on this plateau. I have Seen a plot of cabbages, planted one .yard apart, cover the entire surface completely, some heads weighing 15 and 20 pounds; and the weight of 24 pounds has been reached on Elk River. Fruit of course flourishes luxuriantly, and of the finest quality. The county also contains excellent beds of iron ore, and the copper veins about Eik Knob are well known. The eastern section of the county abounds in white, pine. The county is drained most ly by thehead streams of the Kanawha and New Rivers. The Watauga and Elk of the west side going to tbe Tennes see., ' ' . This region needs to be annexed to North Carolina.. A railroad would do it. The Chester and Lennjr Narrow Gauge, nearly finished, witfeashcreach Patter son on the upper Yadkin, r miles nearer the loot of the Blue Ridge. Twenty miles more of a very practicable grade will cross the mountains and twenty five more will connect with the iron road now' building to Cranberry, This will give a long and urgently needed connec tion to the middle region of the State and so to the whole of it, with the salt and plaster mines , and the limestone mountains of southwest Virginia. And there ia no doubt that a branch road will be speedily carried by the great Ore Knpb, copper mines to the New Rfv er branch of the Chesapeake and Oaio railroad, sqon to be built; and thus the great west will have an open way through the State to our sea coast, both by the existing line4 wiieb are crossed by the Narrow Gaige road, and by a branch I hat "will build itself from Patter-j son down the fine valley of the . Yadkin to Salem, and so connect by change, of gauge, with J'ayetteville and ' Wilming ton. Such a road will be from the day of its completion the best paying road in the State. . ," . W. C.
