Dr; A. P. Wylieof South Carolina, Showed two new hybrids!, one of whicVis a cross between the Clinton and the Royal Muscadine. - . - Plcntv of water should be wiihiu reach ot the bees. The hives should be placed in a grove or orchard where they will be shaded from the sun. The reason ot setting he hives low. is, that when the bees come. home heayily ladeiK and fall on the ground, they inayrerawLkuo the hives. Every farmer should have a well arrang ed poultry house, in some well-sheltered' nook, with a door opening iutd the orchafcl. It the orchard is not very near the dwelling house, the best plan will be to winter, the owls in a warm house 4u the barnyard and Pn nut, mi a shed in the ceutrc of the orch ard to be occupied bv them iduriug summen SecdliDg potatoeCcan.be grown as easy as seed 1 i ng"t oitii aloes. Early in spring sow h6 seeds thinly in pots, and when the plants are an inch or two high transplant into pots, one plant in each, aud after the weath er is sufficiently warm turn them out iuto the open grouuu, placed two ieet apart. This should be done in February. . A gehtlmau residing a tew miles north of Toledj, Ohio, has been experimenting in uie cultivation or cranoernes. - tie naa iour acres under cultivation this season, yielding 380 bushels; These be sold at the rate j of $1- 50 per bushel, the total proceeds of the four acres amounting to $1,330, -or $332 25 per acre. It j is quite probable that the marshes in the vieiuity of the lake can be made valuable for the cultivation of the Cranberry. Three hundred and sixty-eight imported fowls were sold in New York, August 18j for a; total ot $3,0770, , averaging, $8 25 eachTThc highest price paid was tor three partridge cochins, $80. Three houdans brought $55. ; Three dark brahmas, $52, The highest prijse paid for buff cochins was $46. Three ' gray dorkings brought $38. The lowest price, paid was for a pair of white bantams, $3. A fine pair of Toulouse geese sold for $2G. A fine pair of Embden geese, $17 50-rbeing 'lelBa than the amount of freight and duties would have been if imported alone. j In Normandy where the Creve Cieurs are principally raised, they have a curious way of hatching the eggs. As the hens of this breed are not much inclined to set, and at best are only ordinary mothers, the peasant women have a fashion of pressing youug hen turkeys into the service. This they do in the following way : Take a hen turkey of the preceding year that ' has never laidj andput her in a basket containing plaster eggs. Cover; this - basket with a strong linen cloth. It will be from four to six days before she will overcome the natural disinclination to set, and become attached to the eggs, or, as the French have it, t take an affection for them." When the preju-, dice is entirely overcome, they place the real Seggs under, she easily covering eighteen or twenty of them. Air epidemic bt coal oil lamp disasters seenis to be' prevailing-of late. An experi enced correspondent, speaking onj the sub ject says: "Is there a law in other States which imposes. a -.penalty of two hundred dollars for selling oil of less than 110 grav ity and no such law is ours ? Full two thirds of our people fill their lamps with what they buy for coal oil, and they receive ah inflammable mixture inore dangerous than gunpowder. Try the experiment ; put your finger into the lamp .you burn, then pass the finger through a flame. Should the oil tako fire throw the balance away. We have at least fifty explosions of lamps a week. ' The public only know; of those that burn little girls. Vc have not .one explo sion with oil! at 110 gravity." Such being tho cake, it seems' to us that there must be uuparponablo negligence somewhere- eithr er in those. who make the laws, or in those whose business it is to enforce them that accidents of the ki3d referred to are so fre quent. Of course, legislation" cannot pre vent idiot'c people from burning themselves, to'dealh by tilling lamps while lighted, or by kindling fires with coal' oil..'. Such peo ple deserve their fate. But for the innocent victims ot cupidity, or oflicial neglect there must always be sympathy, and that sym pathy should so shape our legislation that cases of burning to death by coal oil shall be few and far between, hereafter.
