do not ulwiays cluster upon a limb that

A hive is sometimes placed upon a
sheet and the bees shaken down upon
it or rattled off into a dish pan or
basket and poured in front of the hive.
if bees cluster upon the body of a tree
or fence they can be driven with smoke
into a box or basket.
All beekeepers that are worthy of the
name have their hives iu readiness for
swarms. We've known persons who
owned eight or ten colonies of bees,
that made no preparation for having
them, and annually lost the greater
part of the increase, while a salt -bar-
rel was being emptied to receive them
or the old pump was having a board
nailed on top, the would-be rovers fol.
lowed the advice of Horace Greely, and
emigrated west. Of course it was vory
little Ioss, for what is a colony of bees
worth that are hived in an old pump;
they look interesting enough, going in
and out of the spout, but what benefit
would a hundred colonies be in tobacco
huckster, salt -barrels, etc..? They would
gather just as much honey, but it is in
such a shape as to be of very little use
to its owner.

HINTS TO SWIMMERS.
Prof. Marquis Bibbers, of the Lon-
don Polytechnic Institute gave an ex-
hibition of fancy and useful swimming,
in the Central Park Baths, New York, I
on Friday afternoon. ''How to save
a person from drowning," and "how to
break away from the grip of a drown -1
ing person," were two of the most use-
ful parts of the exhibition. Using ns
attendant for a drowning person, he'
showed that a single hair of the head
was sufficient to draw the floating body
ashore with, if the person retained suf
froient presence of mind to keep quiet.
If the person struggles, as is usually
the case, he should be approached from
behind, his head held on the rescuer's
breast, and both go ashore on their
backs. The drowning person frequent-
ly grasps his rescuer, and endangers
both their lives. In this case, if his
head can be get under the snrfaee again
for a few moments it will confuse him,
and breaking away is comparatively
easy, Should he grasp his resoner by
the wrists a quiolc wrench of the arms
will break his hold. Should he grasp
him from behind, his hold must be
loosened by wrenching beak his fingers,
as in ordinary cases. When the drown-
ing person gets his arms firmly clasped
around his rescuer's neck or around his
waist, or gets any other dangerous
hold, the ;rescuer may instantly free
himself by putting two of his fingers to
the drowning person's nostrils, and
thus forcing his head back. This will
make a man loosen hie hold, in the
water or out of it. Even a drowning
man cannot keep his grip when this
plan is resorted to.

HOW TO RAISE WATERMELONS.
I select a good piece of ground of a
dry, loose nature ; red sandy soil is the
best ; as it will ripen them the best ;
and this is essential to a good water-
melon, and a good price. Then I plow
well and deep as soon as the ground is
in good condition. When 1 get ready
to plant I barrow and roll until the
ground is pulverized. Now T mark off
with a plow lightly both ways so as to
have my hills ten feet apart each way.
The hills should be made of the finest
dirt about four or five inches:above the
unlace of the ground. I plant seven
or eight seeds in a hill, covering them
about three-fourths of an inch. This
should be done abort tho 10th of May.
or not until the ground is warm enough
to bring them np quickly. After the
plants are up, the ground should be
worked around the plants with the
hands or a small hoe. When they
form the third leaf, thin them out to
three in a hill, leaving the plants as
far apart as possible in the hill. The
ground should be all stirred by plowing
with a double shovel or cultivator three
or four times, and Lite hills should be
hoed as many times as they need it.
loosing the ground in the hill and
bringing up fresh earth to the plants.
Keep the weeds all palled, and do not
plant with or near other vines, as the
fruit would mix. Never work the
ground when the vines are wet, wheth-
er by rain or dew. To keep bugs off,
sprinkle wheat bran on them when wet
, with dew. The best kind for early ones
is Phiney's Early. The var;ety called
Ice-Crearu is the best for the main
crop. Don't plant but outs kind in a
