The find member of the reformed jar
. liament reproved by tha chair for un
seemly language was Daniel O'Connell,
the great Irish agitator. The incident,
".which occurred in the first week of "tha
meeting of the house of commons, is also
remarkable for having evoked from the
speaker a definite ruling oh an interest
t ing constitutional point . The speech
from the throne called attention,
among other things, to the insecurity of
... . . , . a i Jt
tar coercive measures for the repression
of crime. . In the course of the debate
O'Connell characterized the speech from
the throne as "brutal and bloody."
jLord John Russell at once moved that
the words be taken down. "Ohl" ex
claimed O'Connell, "when we speak of
Ireland and her wrongs it must be '
" Ib bondsman's key.
With bated breaua sad warranting hosblav
Lord John Bunnell objected to the
word "bloody" being supplied to a
speech which had, only a few days pre
vionaly, been delivered by the king
William IT in person in the house of
lords. O'Connell insisted that it was
not the speech of the kins-, but the
speech cf the ministers. The speaker
agreed with the honorable and learned
member on the constitutional point, but
informed him that his language was
not calculated to preserve order and de
cency of debate. The "bloody and brutal
Wbijjs" subsequently became a popular
phrase with O'Connell in his speeches
in Ireland. Nineteenth Century.

" . BEE LORE. "

. and Sprlns; Car. : i 'f.''.'.
-Mr. C. P. Dadant, the well known
authority in beedom, has been giving a
series of interesting articles in Ameri
can Bee Journal from one of which, in
regard to the care of bees for wintering,
the following is selected: . , '' '
A number of apiarists say that they
pay no attention to the spot occupied by
the bees when removed, and that when
they take themont in the spring it does
not matter much where they are placed,
whether on the exact sgpt they occupied
before winter or in the place of one an
other. -pnce or twice we had consider
able trouble from changing the location
of hives, and have positively ascertain
ed, that many of the bees remember
their former location, after three months
of wintering, so we take particular
CELLAR BLIND AHt WITHOUT LIGHT. ,
pains to mark each hive's stand. To do
this without trouble, we leave the cap
or coyer with tho roof over it in the ex
act spot occupied by the hive and re
move only the brood chamber .to the
cellar. In this manner 'the hiyea occupy
a much smaller space, and it is easier to
give them good ventilation, which is
absolutely necessary to keep the combs
from molding, if the cellar is at all
damp. . ' " ..:,':
We pile the hives in the cellar, two
or .three or even four tiers high, usually
putting the lower tier ; ; on timbers
raised a foot or so from the ground We
have always noticed that the colonies
Dearest the ground were the ones that
suffered, if any did --
After the hives are in, darkness, quiet
ness, a proper temperature and a suf
ficient' amount of r ventilation are all
that are necessary. ) For these hives, as
well as for those that are out in cold
days, it is a great point to have every
thing perfectly quiet The man, who
"will disturb, his
heea every other day,
just to seo whether they are still alive,
will be unsuccessful, if the . circum
stances are at all unfavorable, for it is
very easy to kill the bees with too much
kindness of this sort.
V To givelSr without light to our bee
cellar we have devised a sort of blind,
a picture of which is here shown, taken
from "Langstroth Revised. "
: The time of removal of the bees in
the spring is of utmost importance to
consider. If they are taken out too
early, they may not have occasion to
fly much, and their power of endurance
during a late cold sefeihs to have been
taken away from them by their pro
longed stay in the cellar. They are very
much like b horse that is kept in a
warm barn. Ho is more apt to be fret
ful of the cold end to suffer than one
that stays all winter in a cold stable.
Yet our sympathieriare all in the direc
tion of the softer treatment With the
bees there was on our part as in the
fall, a' tendency to be too much afraid
of a long confinement , I believe it was
Dr. Miller who said the best time to re
move the bees from the cellar was in
March or April, at the opening of the
first buds of soft maple bloom. ; This is
a very good criterion.
But, above all things, a warm day
must be selected to remove-the 1ees
from their confinement If yon take
thent out on a cold day, their anxious
desire to take a flight will induce them
to venture when the temperature is too
low for their safety, and many of them
will perish. If the day is warm and
f ' CSLLAB BUD I FLaCK.
pleasant, they will take a cleansing
flight within a very few minutes after
they have been brought out, and are
thereafter ready for their habitual du
ties.' -
I have often been asked whether it is
advisable to take the bees out on a
warm day during the winter for a good
flight and put them back again. I have
never tried this, but from all that I
ever beard I do not believe each a
course is STiceessfnL The bees after
their flight begin to rear some brood
and remain lees quiet than if they had
been kept indoors all winter.

, In reply to Sir William Crookes' state
ment that practically no uncultivated
prairie land remains in the United
btatee suitable for wheat culture, Ed
ward Atkinson baa been thus quoted
"In fact there are now fully 100.000
square miles of land in the United
Btatee. fully suited to the production of
wheat at 18 bushels to the acre, prac
tically unoccupied in any branch of
agriculture, which would be devoted to
wheat on an assured price of 1 1 per

6UGAR CANE.
flertv to Plant. Cultivate, Grow,
. Ftut
- ry Kind. I2tp.
. Sugar cane may be planted in the
fall just before time for early freeze,
which would kill its "eyes," or it may
be put in piles and covered with earth
and its leaves till about the middle of
January. In fact, it may be planted
nny time aftesjnaturity in tho fall tip
to the time of beginning growth in the
spring, just go it is not subjected to
freezing weather. If planted in the
spring, cover about as deep as corn; if
in the fall, cover as deeply as possible
and drag off; in-the. late .winter, when
danger from freezing in. the ground is
past. J -v.--
In planting at any time care should
be used to have the ground in condition
to suit other growing crops, and the
cane , should be planted about four
inches below the level surface of the
ground to insure deep roots, The rows
are to be about four feet apart or a lit
tle more... Always cultivate shallow and
keep comparatively level at first As
the cane begins to joint above the
ground begin to bed the ground np to
it It soon gets top heavyT and if not
well "supported with earth, into which
each joint covered sends ont roots to
aid in its support, it will easily blow
down. It is usually laid by in July or
August, , when its. leaves shade the
ground A good practice is to follow
the last plowing with hoes, and drag
the earth up well about the roots, mak
ing a high, rounded top bed :
Never plant whole canes unless they
are less than two feet in length. Cut
them in two if they are longer than
that, because if the canes are left whole
the entire length of the cane will go
into a small number of the "eyes," and
a too thin stand is the result V Fifteen
feet of cane of any sort, not injured by
frost or otherwise, should plant ten feet
of rows. . ''"' . -
If one wishes to grow fancy sugar
cane, let mm always select tne nest
stalks for planting and then take only"
one planting out of each cane, selecting
that piece from the longest joints, but
do not get closer the root than about
two feet, and reject the top of the stalk.
A Texas planter whose advice, orig
inally given in The Farm and Ranch,
is here presented, concludes as follows:
I am growing sugar cane here for chew
ing only, and have grown it more ex
tensively in Florida. One stalk weighed
six pounds. I have five varieties red
cane, white cane, red' ribbon . cane,
green ribbon cane and green cane.

,. One of tbe latest and most valuable
successes of Luther Bnrbank of Califor
nia is, as it seems to a writer in TBe
SETOL1NO OF ORAVEHSTItnt.
Rural New Yorker, an apple, a seed
ling of the Oravenstein, of which Mr.
Bnrbank wrote as follows : ,
"By this mail I send yon a medium
to small samplo of my new Gravenstein
seedling, six weeks later than its parent
ripening exactly ' with Baldwin and
Rhode Island Greening. - The tree is a
grand grower and as productive as an
apple can possibly be. I think the qual
ity, tenderness and texture remarka
ble." . , -
Of the specimen in question, a half
section of which is illustrated. The
Rural says: The apple was slightly
shriveled when it wss received The
flesh is yellowish, exceedingly tender,
spicy, rich, subacid It has a flavor all
its own. and we do not think, taking it
all and all, that we have ever eaten aa
apple that more nearly approaches all
that we need ever hope to get in an
apple. In appearance and coloring we
may say, in a word, that it resembles
the Ben Davis.
Cotton Orewlaa. '
At the recent National Fanners' con
gress at Fort Worth Bon. E. & Peters,
president of the Texas Cotton Growers'
association,. said among other things:
In the production of cotton to obtain
the bust results the land must be broken
np in the fall, and winter so as to get
tbe winter rains and frosts. Chopping
cotton and getting it to stand Is the
most expensive part -in the cultivation
of a crop. The cost of the cultivation
of cotton varies according to the char
acter of tbe land In tbe rich alluvial
bottom, where there is rank vegetation,
it costs more to cultivate this land than
it does upland The cost of production
has been estimated all the way from S
to 10 cents per pound There are condi
tions where tbe person owns his place,
is satisfied with the bare necessities of
life and compels his" wife and children
to work in the field, for which they re
ceive no pay and are deprived of all
home comforts, and raised np in Igno
rance by not being able to attend schooL
Cotton raised under the conditions
poaaibly might be produced for leas
than a cents per pound Mow, one word
to the farmer. Plant everything that
yon need to eat and drink, and raise
arverything at hone, buy nothing on
credit and do not ander any circum
stances plant more cotton than yon can
gather yonrself without the aid of your
wlfa and children. .

In these dajsof keen competition and
transient novelty. When the efforts of a
large proportion, though fortunately not
all, of the fancy soem for the time Do
ing to be concentrated either upon pro
ducing mongrel strains or attempting,
if one might nso the term, to buffoon
each and every established variety which
has the misfortune to oome under tbeir
notice, it is a matter almost for Sertoli
apprehension t,hut old and well tried

because it is my firm belief that tbr
poultry world, after Its attack of yellow
fever has subsided, will again return to
the knowledge that mongrelism doef
not necessarily mean' utility, and that
but little credit, if any, attaches lo the
process of color feeding.
- Meanwhile it is a matter for con
gratulation that here and there through
out the country genuine fanciers are to
be found, who glory iu preserving pority
of breed and can look back with par
donable pride on tbe many years of pa
tient effort which have resulted in suc
cess, and that, too, without the aid of
chemicals or dyes. To this quarter by
and by wethall be constrained to look
for salvation when tbe craze for buff
or should 1 say orange tinted birds
has exterminated blood in the yards of
the professional dealers and of general
public, alike. . Tbe present tendency
among' a section of the, fancier commu
nity to breed for novelty alcne is, more
over, indirectly responsible for much
disappointment and discouragement of
yonnger fanciers. Those who thrust
upon the public so called breeds, manu
factured forsooth in a couple of years
at most by the promiscuous intermix
ing of three or four established varie
ties, in the vain hope of thereby pro-
dncing a variety wmcn w
the good qualities alone of all tour, for
get that there are two great laws which,
turn where we may. present themselves
thoughout the domain of nature.
These laws are, first that tbe prog
eny of mongrels is to, a large extent
sterile when .interbreeding is attempt
ed, and, second, that the product of
crossbreeds invariably tend to throw
back, even it again crossed with pure
blood. : Among nations the same law
apply and any one who has been in onr
West Indian colonies cannot fail to bar
been impressed with tbe sterility of
quadroons and octoroons and will have
met with plenty of instances of black
offspring -from white - parents-whose
genealogical trees have not been quite
clear of black branches.
- For tbe manufacture of even the sem
blance of a new variety capable of trans
mitting iu likeness with any degree of
certainty decades are ret) aired, nor can
it be done in a few seasons witbont re
sorting to such inbreeding as leads to
sterility, and 1 would commend the
above to tho consideration of all who
hanker after new breeds or believe that
even utility strains can be turned oat
with rapidity. This must not, however,
bs taken to be a sweeping coademnatkin
of buff breeds in general. By ail meaas
let us have Buff Rocks or Buff Wyan
dotte, etc. provided they conform
strictly to the type of Bocks, Wyan
dot tea, etc.. in general points, differing
little except in color.'' Such require aw
alien blood for their nannfactnra and
are bnt subvarieties or sports from the
parent species, precisely as a new color
may arise in seeding chrysantlwrrrams
or pansies, bnt until the new sabraria
ties are capable of breeding true to tbeir
own points and color it behooves the
poultry clnb and other powerful soctetiee
to decline to fonn separate elaasifteav
tions for them at shows.
- Speaking of exhibiting brings as to
another and most important question
affecting buffs in particular via, a to
the legality of color feeding. There can
scarcely be a doubt in tbe mind of any
true fancier that todve feathers by feed
ing with color is no more creditable)
than to apply the dye externally, nor ia
it easy to see what satisfaction a no
oessful exhibitor who follows this prac
tice can derive in wresting a prise troaa
