So, ' too, fairy tales are inseparable from child hood, but in youth action finds its poet ry in romance, and it is 5 in the years of riper manhood that these tales, re; cover their enchantment, because it is then that the spirit of childhood with in us begins to reassert itself. , Child hood has no : foreknowledge 'of tbe struggle of youth and the reflection of manhood ; yet, t accompanies each state, and finally regains its ascen dency; not now, however, to be sym bolized by the innocence of infancy, but by the white-robed figures with palms in their hands.- National Quar terly Revieto. . ! ' ' Tlic Bee Moth Its First Appcsr : ;V, ance la this Conntry, It -appears that tbe bee '.moth, al though prevalent in Europe at a much earlier day, did not make its appear- ance.in this country till early in the present . century. . Its depredations were discovered ,in .'Massachutts, in 180a. It was first noticed, and de scribed in the Boston JPatriot in the spring of 1806; and it is stated that within "two years of that time, four fifths of all the apiaries in that vici nity. were abandoned. . According ,to Di-;.Kirtland's observations, the ap pearance of ' tho bee moth was not noticed in1 Ohio, until after loZ6. In 1831,,' it bad i spread oyer: tbo "State generally.! j ': ' - Since that time a ere at deal of brain labor1 ha3 beri expended,' in ,'devising means, by which to head off this insect. Numerous hives bave. been gotten up. and presented to the Apiarian; all of which, m the enstimation 6f the in ventors, wercfjast'M thing. . Vie will not attempt a description of. any of these several! inventions, or discover ies, for not one of them was any im provement upon ; the "old ' fashioned straw or box: hives, until the system of. .movable cbmb'frames? was devised and put into use. , . : . r : ; n Langstrotfy in his invaluable Work oa tbe Bee, in speaking, of the moth, makes "the following .remarks,', which are . of special. , interest to every bee keeper i at, the present season. Let every - one who has the; care of bees, read them.- '" ' . ; ! ; ' K ' ' '. ' ul shall now explain why. some stocks .flourish; in spite of neglect, while others, most cared for, fall aprey to the moth, and shall show how; in suitable hive3, and with proper pre cautions,, the moth may be kept from seriously annoying the bees. . A feeblo colony being unable to cover its combs, tbej e,re often filled with the eggs of the ' moth, and, fre quently, their owner becomes aware of their condition only -when their ruin is completed. But how, can the novice know when a stock, in a com mon hive is seriously infested with these all-devouring worms? The dis couraged aspect of the bees plainly indicates that there is trouble of some kind within, and the bottom board will be covered with pieces . of bee-bread mixed with the.ezcrmsnJof the worms, which looks like grains of gunpowder. Earlyjn the Spring, before the stock becomej populouSj the bees should be driven up among their combs by smoke, and the bottom-board cleansed. It too frequently happens that, in the com mon hives, nothing; can be effectually done; even when ; the bee-keeper is aware of the plague, within. With the moveable frames, however, ths combs, and. all parts of the hives, . may be carefully cleansed, and' if a stock is weak or qaeenless, , the proper reme dies may be easily applied. If a fee . InexperieneeS bee-keepers, 'who imagine that a colony is nearly m ined when they find a few worms, should remember that almost every old stock, how ever strong or healthy, has some of these enemies lurking about bis premise I tWbenbcesia the spring prepare their eeUs for brood, tbe bottcxa-board U often covered with small piaces cf comb and boe-bread ; but if these are not mixed with the Uck excrement, they are proofj of industry, instead of aign of rata. -. ble stock cannot be strengthened so as to protect its empty combs, they may be taken away until the, bees are nu merous enough to need them.1 ; ' If the bee-moth were s6 constituted as to require' but' a small amount of heat fcr its fall cbvelcpmcnt, it would beeoriie exceed:: ly.; numerous early in the Spring; nr.d might easily enter. the;Hv?3 , and deposit its eggs where it ptisan : fcr at this season, notcnly i3ttiero no guard maintained by, the bees at night, but large portions "ci their ! comb are quite unprotected.' How doe3 every fact'in the history of the bee, when properly investigated, point with unerring certainty to the wisdom of Him who made'itl' t Combs having no brood, . may. bo smoked with the fumes of burning sul phur, to kill the eggs or worms of the moth. ' If. kept from the bees, they should be carefully protected, in a dry place, from the moth,' and examined occasionally,'1 to be smoked' again if any wam3 1 are found; ' - T .:The most fruitful cause of the rav ages of the moth;8till remains to bs described. If a colony becomes queen less, it mu3t, unless otherwise destroy ed, inevitably fall, a prey to the bee moth.. By watching, in glass1 hives, the proceedings of colonies purposely made queenless, I have ascertained that they make little or no resistance to her Entrance,' and allow her to lay her : eggs ; where she : pleases 1 The worms, after hatching, appear to bave their own way, and are even more . at home than the dispirited bees.515 .How worthless, then, to( a queen less colony, are all the traps and other devices which, of .late, years, have been 'so much, relied upon. r. Any passage which admits a bee is large' enough For the mcth, and if a single female enters such: a hive, she will lay eggs enough to destroy it,:however strong. Under a low estimate,' she would lay at least, two hundred eggs in the hive, and the second generation would count by thousands, while those cf the.tbird will exceed a million. " " Not only do the bees of abopeles3v ly queenless hive make ho effectual opposition to the bee-moth,, but, by their forlorn condition, they positively invite their attacks. She appears to have an instinctive knowledge of their condition, and no art of man can ever keep her out. She will pass by other colonies to get at a queenless one, as if aware that she will find it in the best' cenditions for , the development of -her joung; 'and thus the strongest colonies, after losing their queens, are frequently devoured by the worms, while some small ones, standing by their side, escape unharmed. , It is certain that a queenless hive seldom maintains a guard at the en trance, and does not fill the air with the pleasant voice of happy industry. Eden to our dull ears, the difference between -the hum of a. prosperous hive and the uahappy note of a despairing one, is .often sufficiently, obvious ; may it not .be .even: more so, to the cute senses of the provident mother-moth?": The fact that qneenJess stocks da not oppose an effectual resistance to the raothior worms a fact which I onee thought to be a discovery of ray own-Thai for a long time been well known to the Germans.' Mr. Wag-ier informs me "that their ; best treatises, for many years, speak of this as a settled fact, so that it ha become an axiom that, if a colony is over powered, by robber bees, its owner is not entitled to compensation, as it was, in all likelihood, queenless, and would certainly have been destroyed by the moth. .')'' - ? s T f My attention bas been recently called to an arti ele in the OMo CMoator for 1819, pagelS5Jby Micajah.T. Johnson, in which, after detailing some experiments, he says: 'One thing is certain if bees, from any cause, should lose their queen, acd not hate the means in their power of raising ano ther, tbe miller and the worms soon take possession. I believe no hive is destroyed by worms while an eScientqatea remains lif it.'. . 'this seems to bo the earliest published Dotioo of (his important fact by an Americcn observer. i t i i r --lajjsiskii ' - - Plow deep,1 while sluggards sleep. FftAUffLzy. The advantages of subsoiling have already , become a fixed fact with most if pot all of our practical farmers. They know by experience, many, of them, that inverting the surface, ten or twelve inches in depth produces tho following happy, results :. ! .v 1; The seed of , all weeds being put so dep under the soil that they do not appear soon enough to injure the crop 2." btirring the soil deeply, enabling it the ' better to i withstand drouth ; giving the root3 an opportunity of run ning deep for moisture - 6. Vhen there is a superabundance of wet,' the advantages of sub-soiling are apparent, as the moisture will mora readily settle from the surface.; And last, thoughjict least, the yield of produce is from ten to twenty per cent, greater than can -be obtained on old soils by surface culture.' I have before me the experience of some of our best farmers in this State on thi3 subject, derived from tests on old plowed field from 15 to 23 . years. I will give the extremes on corn, wheat and oats: on corn, fram 15 to 25 bushels more per acre; on wheat, from 7 to 10 bushels; on oats, from 10 to 18 hushels per acre. Now suppose a farmer, should .sub-soil : 80 .acres old prairie for corn, and make only 10 bushels per acre more than if he used the surface plow; he would harvest 800 bushels more corn, which at25ct3. per. bushel would amount , to $200, more than the cost ; of : sub-soiling, leaving the lahd in the right condition for an increased crop of oats, and then wheat with only surface plowing. With these -remarks -on the bene ficiat results,: wd will tctica very brief ly the, modes now adopted by the few who have found that their titles to the soil were good below 6 or 8 inches: 1.' Some use two teams running one common plow in the . same furrow, or plow two furrows in depth. 2. Some use the Michigan sub-soil plow, which is similar' ia it3 work to the former mode, - ! - : 3. Some use a large single plow that will run tea inches in depth, drawn by three horses.. . I consider all these modes as doing the work imperfectly, as by neither i3 there a perfect inver sion of the soil., Still, imperfect as they are, they will all pay better than the continual six in plowing. ' I saw a plow last week inventad by a practical farmer, N. F. Burton, of Plymouth, HI., and patented last October.- (See Patent Book, 1861, No. 2564).! It is. a perfect success as a sub-soil plow. It consists of a surface and sub-soil plow running side by side. Tho surface one running on the land side , just behind the Bub-soil plow, which turns the sub-sou at any re quired depth over the surface soil. The team has a good path, the bottom of the surface furrow, which is an im portant item ;' as well as the complete inversion of the soil. When the im portance of any work is as apparent as that of subsoiling, especially old fields, it is quite essential that we use the best implement to perform the work. Two yoke of oxen. with a boy to drive, is all that i3 required to run the Burton Plow, as it runs on wheels and holds itself, Vcllrr Farmer, i Trora the Iowa Homestead Corn Its Nativity Increased IIcIJ , ; per Acrc,-dc i Of the cereal grains, none is mere extensively cultivated in the United States, than (umaizo") corn. The varieties are very numerous,1 depend ing a great deal upon the character of the soil and climate on which they are grown. No grain may be grown through a wider range of latitude, man . inaian . corn nourishing irom about 40 of Southern to 45 Northern latitude. According to the mean tern perature, it ripens from six weeks to seven months. With the exception of rice, it furnishes the daily food for a larger number of human beings than any other grain. , Corn i3 a native grain of the United States. It was first. 'cultivated on the James River, Virginia, by the Fnglish, in 1608. The mode of culture was similar to that followed by the Indians. As the . science of : Agriculture be comes better understood, the yield of corn per acre increases. It i almost marvelous to see what a span there i3 in' the yield of corn per acre. Ac cording to reliable statistics, it may be put down from 5, to 189 bushels, to the acre. .. In 18o0, .nine competitors in the State of Kentucky, each culti vating ten acres, raised 11,440 bushels, of shelled corn. Some years ago a crop of 170 bushels of shelled corn was actually raised in Madison county, N. Y. These .figures, which are well founded upon facts, are almost suS cient to put the stigma of laziness and bhiftlessness, upon those farmers who. from year to year, are contented, while harvesting from 25 to 40 bushels of corn from an acre. If, Madison co., N. Y., which is in a higher latitude than tho greater part of Iowa, and pos sessing a Eoil much inferior for corn, 170 bushels can be raised from an acre, then no farmer of this State should be contented with an average yield of less man cd cusneis to ina aero. . That could be done during ordinary seasons, on nine-tenths cf tho farms of Iowa, I verily believe. The reason why so many farmers dont raise let ter crops than they now do, is this they are too careless and indifferent in the cultivation - and management cf their farms. T don't want to say that many cf ; them are too lazy. But then pomething more is necessary to raise 189 buihels of corn to the acre, than to pull off the coat, roll up the sleeves, and then "pitch in" blind'. . o make farxninir profitable, the farmer mu3t not just know what to do, but at the same time know tuhj he does it. He should know, chemically speak ing, the 'nature and properties of the soii he cultivates, fronrMay to day ; and the special manures thatTare re quired, by the various crops that he raises; alio, the nature and habit3 of the grasses and cereal plant3 he cultivates, It is almost as philcscphical, ar.il nearly as profitable, to expect to rais a 'remunerative crop cf corn, frcn r. field plowed three inches deep, and cultivated accordingly, B3 it would ta to attempt to fatten poultry upn clean rye straw, .
