When TO Market Farm Produce.

At late meeting of the Little Falls, n
Y, Farmers Club Mr. Cronkhite read an es
say from which we make the following ex
tract
With many farmers this perhaps is thu
most perplcxing question. The season TO
gathering fruits and vegetables as rule, i
the best time to market them then will b,
the greatest quantity Of them, and theii
quality will at that time be the best. Yet
we hear farmers say that potatoes will be high
or. lie hears Of rot in some sections and he
puts his potatoes in the cellar to await higher
prices. But rot and sprout and rats and
mice, and labor and sorting, and in many in.
stances exposure to frost, lessons day by day,
the quantity and quality of this product which
he holds, and then the market is flooded with
men who thought as he did, and with ten per
cent. of loss be finds himself compelled to
take 20 per cent. less in price or not sell at
all. Apples will be higher, another says,
and he holds his to meet decay and trouble
Hops too, are too cheap and the grower
piles up his bales to wait the moving of tn,
market, and thus we might say of grains, but
ter, cheese and of nearly all of the products
of the farm, hay perhaps excepted.
The most successful farmer las rule,) anC
he who can show the best balance sheet a
the end of the year, markets his produc
when it is ready for the market. After hav
ing prepared your articles for the market a
has been advised, take the market price ant
pocket the money Your neighbor may, il
some instances, sell for a higher price by hold
ing, but in the experience of ten years, yol
will be far ahead. Produce, marketed, is don
with, aud all waste, skrinkage and care of i
ceases; and then again you have the use o
your money, and can apply it where it vii
be of use. One more reason for this tim
of marketing is, that dealers are in the mar
ket, and have made their arrangements 70
buying
1t is important to The farmer, in disposin
of his produce, that he should meet goo
demand. This he will be most likely to fin
when the article is yielded from his farm, an
is ready for the market Dealers have the
arranged with banks for funds, and are anx
ious to buy. You will always meet poo
market when buyers have closed their account
and gone home You will be considered ou
of season, and if you sell at all it must be a
BacrifciDg concessions in price.
Prepare your articles in the best manne
for market. Represent them honestly an
fairly in the market, and then sell at tbepric
the market offers. Let your motto be, "kee
selling" and your cash account will be large
ly in your favor

Preparation for Wintering Bees.

The honey in the boxes on the hives
you may take safely, whether they contain
five pounds each or one hundred. In all my
experience have never known bees to suffer
from want of honey if they had stored in the
take them of Just as soon as filed, replacing
them by empty ones. If you had done this,
you would probably have obtained other boxes
full or partially SO. The best way is to raise
boxes when they are almost full and put empty
ones under them. Those on the American
hive are constructed with this in view, and
they should be so made for all hives. have
never known boxes to be filed SO rapidly as
when thus placed under full ones. The bees
seem eager TO connect the honey with the hive
again. BY the time the lower box is filed
with comb, the upper one will be nicely sealed
over, and may be taken off without disturb
ance. Take il into the cellar or dark out
building for few hours, and the bees will all
leave il and return to the hive.
| would not advise you to take any honey
from the main hive this fall. The bees may
better have too much than too little, and as
you have early frosts in your latitude they
will be obliged to subsist on the stores in the
hive through the fall months. During this
time they consume much more than in cold
weather, as they exercise in the air every
pleasant day, and are still rearing some brood.
If either hive seems lightly stored, you may
take partially filled comb from it and eY-
change it with another hive for one heavy
with honey. One of the advantages Of the
movable comb is the power they give to
equaize colonies, and in this way benefit both.
II either seems not to be populous, there is
danger that it may have too much honey in
proportion to the bees, and it should be ex-
amined and empty the combs given il near
the centre, that the bees may have space to
cluster. Close the entrance partially to all
hives SO that mice cannot get in, aud let the
hives remain where they are until the latter
part Of November, or the first long continued
cold weather. II you have good cellar that
you can make dark and is not too warm, re-
move the hives to it about this time leave
the caps off and the holes of entrance TO the
honey box open, to give them upward ventila.
tion, and allow them TO remain undisturbed
until the FIRST warm, sunny days Of spring,
when they may be removed TO their sumner
stands.
If you have no cellar or dark, unoccupied
room, remove the honey boxes from the hives,
I'll the caps with clean, dry straw, and put
chem on again. Turn the hives 80 that the

man who is not smart enough to run 5
store, is not smart enough to run a farm
Farmers are not to be made Of what is left
after lawyers, doctors, ministers, and mer.
chants are sorted and picked out. And if a
man fails on farm, it is not likely he will
succeed in store, for it requires more talent
to be a thriving farmer than to be an average
merchant. The one cause of great failure il
the disproportion between mans farm and
his capital. A farmers capital is skill, labor,
and his money. If he has little cash, he
must have no more land than he can thorough
ly manage by his personal labor. One acre
well worked is more profitable than twenty
acres skinned over. 1t is this greed of land
by farmers that have not the capital to work
it that keeps so many poor Small farms are
better than large ones, simply because they
are better suited to the capital Of common
farmers. Large farmers with large capital
are better than small ones. Farming is q
good business for all men who conduct it on
proper principles, and have capital according
to the size of their farms.--Farmer and Ar
