A Pennsylvania wheat•grower says 1 the Cultivator that long before phosphat was used for wheat,, observing farmer had learned the great advantage of to n e s dressing with finely rotted manure the land they were seeding with wheat. The effect of this was not xnerely to secure needed fertility for the growth of the plant, but to keep this fertility near the t surface, so as to induce the horizontal growth of roots, and thus prevent it from winter killing. But this surface � manuring never secured all the gain made by drilling the fertilizer in Onntaot with the soetl wheat. That promoted the 1 wheat growth as quickly as the seed germivace,l, and in just the plane to do the whets plant the most good. But the f etractice .If top -dressing wheat with ste- e>le Manure 18 a good ane, and with the ]advantage that it con he applied in winter -when the ground is frozen or covered with nosy, an t hat teams oan gn on it without • epoateting the surface. 'Phis ole tee top - dressing is of espeepnleveliientiSi fffe clover rseeding. It 'will seonre a gnod catch Waher• . without it, neither clover nor rays r,4:ild live through the dry weather eaf sprin ; anti summer. It is mainly as a rep to Feed with that Eastern .farmers = ow grew winter wheat. The prive for Memel ;veers has been too low for the grain to he grown with profit, Bus the incrensad growth of clover witle wheat as compared with what it will make with any spring grain, gives acompensa- tion that makes winter wheat still `worth growing for this purpose if for no other. It is a fortunate fact that the pre- paration of the soil which secures the .beet wheat Crop is best for the clover also. I 13roliets and Bard Work.

This society seeks to introdnco a system of beelceep.ing on ;` lentifie principles, and of dt•veloping tike industry on a preen:n le basis throughout that cnuutry, where, until lately, the peasants have been in the t h:ti,it of keeping their bees in conieal .straw skips daubed with 111 n.1 or plaster, and desticving the bees to obtain the hnne;y. It is probable 'that the maclety %VIII provide the peasants with cheap etrnw sleeps with supers at well as bar - framed hives and other desirable ogrteul- tural eminences:.

They are made of wood, with draw sides, end Dost twout 0.25 each. Tee bees (tppear to bo a species of the cvlmn:on bee (Alis monition, but are rather small in size, and usually tractable. The bee (Apis lif urtica) does not succeed well in 5arvin, becom- ing quickly merged into the indigenous stack. The bee farm is provided with two centrifugal honey -extractors of very sim- ple design, but perfectly praoticnl, After extraction, the honey is put ipto glass bottles, with neat screw tops, imported front Austria, containing respootively half pound, one pound and two pounds. The price of the honey is about•17 cents a pound, exclusive of the bottle, far whleh an extra charge is made. The wax is sold to the wax dealers for making into ahurnh candies, and realizes about 30 cents a pound. The importance of en- enuraging bee culture is evidently fully' realized by the members of this society and others interested, and the introduc- tion of a law Is in contemplation oblig- ing ail priests, soboolmasbers and cer- tain others holding employment under the Government to turn their attention to the keeping of bees.
