Another child, Merton, aged 14 years, fortunately realized the dan gerous condition of affairs, and having learned that swarms will vacate cer tain places when noise is produced, at once secured tin kettles and hammered upon them with great energy. The din and confusion caused the bees to leave the child unharmed, and in a few mo ments more the swarm alighted upon a pine tree, where the owner subsequent ly captured them in a hive.

If the cooking is well done there is an agreeable nutty flavor of the wheat j w hich corresponds to the bouquet of grapes.

This will short en the time of cooking to four hours or less, the lime required for whole wheat l emg eight or ten hours.—Good House keeping. MeUhl Wheel« for Your Wagon«. The eeason for cutting corn fodder being close at band, it may be well for farmer* to get a set of these low metal wheels with wide tires. They can be had any size wanted from 20 to 56 inches in diameter, with tires from 1 to 8 inches wide. By having low wheels enables you to bring the wagon box down low, saving one man in loading fodder, etc. It is also very convenient for loading and unloading manure, grain, hogs. etc., and will save in la bor alone their cost in a very short time. These wheels are made of best material throughout, and have every possible advantage over the high wood en wheel* with narrow tires, and will outlast a dozen of them. There will also be no resetting of tires necessary, and consequently no blacksmiths' bills to pay. Wide tires save your horses and prevent cutting up your fields.
