What IL Extracted Honey.

Suspicion is often manifested by COnsum.
sumers of honey, and the question frequently
asked, chow can people take so much trouble
to free the honey from the comb and then sell
it for less than they do comb honey?' In or
der that grocerymen may answer this ques.
tlou satisfactorily, we would say that the
comb, which is fatty, solid substance, pro.
duced by bees, is first eXcreted from row Of
pouches along three sides 10 the form of scales.
This being mastlcated and mixed with saliva,
becomes whitened and tenacious, and the sub.
stance is employed in the construction of
their cells, the repositories tor their honey
and eggs. The bees consume about three.
fourths of their time in constructing their
comb, whilst gathering the honey only re.
uuires but one-fourth. In this age of pro-
gress apiarians take sharp knife and skim
off the tops of the cells, and, with the extract
ing machine, throw the honey from the comb
by centrifugal force. The comb is then put
back into the hive, the operation being re.
peated frequently during the season. This
enables the bees to gather three times the
quantity of honey by relieving them Of the
necessity of building their combs, hence the
reason why there is always so much more ey.
tracted or strained" honey on the market,
and its consequent cheapness. The honey
thus extracted possesses most delicious
flavor, and can be eaten without fear of sick.
ness 1t is eating the comb that makes one
sick, the bees never eat it, and physicians say
there would be as much proprety in drink
ing ale from bottle, and then eating the bot.
tie, as IN eating honey and comb also. They
consider the glass about as digestabc as the
WaX-.1HerIcdn Grocer.

MAKING CIDER NINEGAR.-A correspond
ent of the Country Gentleman gives directions
as follows: make the cider as early in the
season as possible. When the barrel is filled,
let it remain where the sun can shine upon
it part of the day. Leave the bung out, and
and insert the neck end of a bottle. This
will let the air in, while it will keep the flies
out Put into each barrel one sheet of fools
cap paper, half pint of white beans, and a
half pint of good brewers yeast-or other
yeast that is as good. Also, if you choose,
put IN pint OF molasses. Manage in this
way, and you will have vinegar in six weeks.
Remember that good cider will make good

The Country Gentleman gives the following
recipe for ring -bone: Mix well one and one
half drachms bniodne of mercury with one
ounce of lard. Rub this ointment well IN the
skin daily over the Jumps, shaving off the
hair. Two hours after each application
paint the blisters with a soft BRUSH with
tincture of arnica one ounce, to water twelve
ounces Do this daily for week, then once
a week, then repeat. This will generally cure
recent cases so they will show no lameness,
but the lump will remain. The colt should
be kept tied, so that he cannot bite the Bills
tiers. No remedy will remove the Jumps.

The Mass Convention, the proceedings of which are published elsewhere, to nominate candidates for Council and House of Repre- sentatiyes, met as per call, published in this paper on Friday, at the Court House on Wednesday at D. m. There is some dis satisfaction with the shortness of time the notice was given, but when the fact is taken into consideration that the census imbroglio at Tucson delayed the apportionment and issuing of the Governors Proclamation to so late a day that it gave no time for an extend- ed notice, without rendering it almost i'm possible to print and circulate tickets into the remote precincts, some of which are POO miles distant, we think the shortness of the notice will be excused. No one, we think. will question the soundness or fitness of the ticket nominated, and yet there are names left off that we and others having the inte- rest of Yavapai County most at heart would be glad to vote for. The objection that Pres colt is too largely represented is met by the fact that a majority of those nominated have almost their entire property interests in the country. Rush, Kendall, Moeller and Hath away, being the only ones whose chief inte- rests are in Prescott. Stevens, Miller, Mar ion, Peck, Hutchinson, Foster and Richards, all have their interests outside of the town and all live in the country, except Hutchin- son and Foster and they are there half their time, so that the town has but really fourt to the country's eight. Of those in the country Richards and Foster are engaged in milling i; Stevens, Marion, Hutchinson and Miller in farming and stock raising and Peck in farm ing and mining; w. $. Head lives at Verde where he is Post Trader. Nearly every ma terial interest in the County is represented on the ticket.
