Selling Unripe Honey. etc.

when shall we extract honey2" is
the subject of an article in WHICH the
writer says it is question of impor-
lance; but | think the answer is still
more important
All are aware of the low price paid
for extracted honey; and just as long
as bee keepers practice Mr. Balch's
teachings, it will not be any higher.
Mr.. B. makes a poor comparison in
comparing a beehive to a COW stable.
All who are acquainted with bees
know that there is nothing cleaner
than a healthy colony of bees in time
of the honey flow. The aroma of the
honey indicates the kind, even with
out opening the hive.
| think we should be satisfied if we
save the bees from building comb
without bothering about the Gaping
of it. If we considered the quality
of honey instead of the quality, we
should soon find the prices Increasing.
One who sells unripe honey is as dis
honest as one who sells unripe fruit.
My highest endeavOr is not to sell the
most honey, but the best. The reason
we hear Of so much candied honey, is
because it was extracted before being
ripe. thus the aroma escapes ard
leaves nothing but sweet mass I'M
worthy the name of honey. The pres
ence of the aroma is required to pre-
serve it in its natural state. For the
past five years, | have had no honey
graduated before spring.
People will be cheated for the but
ter and cheese must be yellow, and
the honey white, all contrary to ma
ture; but this 10 no reason why we
should use authorizations. We should
aim to keep everything as nearly in
its natural condition as possible. Take
no honey from the hive before it is
capped, and we shall soon have a good
demand for extracted honey.-Ameri-
can Bee journal.

A WISCONSIN Dairy School.

The executive committee of the
Wisconsin State Dairymen's Associa-
ton met at the Plankington House in
Milwaukee on the 22d, to take action
in regard to the establishments of dairy
schools throughout the state. The OBJ
iect of these schools will be to instruct
butter and cheese manufacturers so
that more uniform grades of butter
and cheese VIII be manufactured. The
committee decided to en-, gage T. d.
Curtis, of Syracuse, N. Y, an expert
cheese and butter maker, to spend four
or FIVE month in Wisconsin giving in
structions. Curtis will first visit the
dairy boards OF trade IN the state, of
which there are five, and after instruct
ing the manufacturers represented at
those places will visit the counties that
have no board of trade and meet by
appointment all the manufacturers
who desire to learn how to make bet
ter goods. The association will pay
Curtis $500 for the seasons work.
The establishing of these dairy
schools is a new departure, no such
plan ever having been put in operation
in any state, so far as known. a mem
Der of the executive committee said
that one-half the cheese manufactur
ers in the state, with the same ma
chinery and equal advantages with
the others, made cheese that brought
the year round from 20 TO 40 per cent.
less ia the open market than the pro
duct of the other half. This was be-
cause in some obscure but very es-
sential point they didn't understand
their business. The object of having
an expert was to put every manufsc-
turer in the state in the way of max
ing the pest product possible.
Wisconsin, he said, had gained the
credit of making the finest cheese of
any state in the Union, but this repu-
tatlon she would lose eventually if
some intelligent effort was not made
to improve the standard of quality.
The committee considered the matter
of making an exhibit Of butter and
cheese on a large scale at the Worlds
fair in New Orleaus next winter, and
decided that the association would
make such an exhibit if the state
would pay the expenses.
There are now IN Wisconsin about
1000 creameries and cheese-factories,
with a combined product for 1888 of
$40 500, 000 The number of cows is
estimated at 500, COO head, with an av-
erage product of $35 to each in butter
and cheese. AS this interest exceeds
IN value that of any other ia the state,
the association will ask an appropria-
ton from the Legislature next winter
to encourage them in their good work,
and they propose to have 1T.

Constructing Wells.

The Massachusetts, PloUgEmun
gives the following directions for dig
ging wells
The old way Of digging a well and
stonlng 1t up so as to leave 1t about 3
feet in diameter, is a very good one If
the water is to be drawn up with buck
cts; but if only with a pump, it is a
very poor way; for If, as is the usual
custom, the well be covered at the top,
1t leaves a very large space for dead
air, which often becomes so bad that
it affects the quality of the water, and
also makes it unsafe to enter the well.
When a well thus stoned has only q
pump in ii, the covering should be
under water or very near it; but If 1t
Is known that only a pump IS to be
used. the expense Of stonins may be
saved, agd the water kept i'm q much

Bears Catching Fish.

Very few people know that bears
take TO water naturally. They roam
over the mountains and through the
forests, dig open rotten logs for ants
and worms, and secure all the hor-
nets nests they can and tear them to
pieces, and eat the young grubs, pick
berries of all descriptions and eat
them, and would seem to belong to
the dry land animals. The fact is dill
ferent They love the water, not per-
haps as we'll as the moose and deer,
but better than most dryla land animals.
They are very fond of fish and are ex-
pert fishermen, and show more cum
ming and instinct, if not reason, than
many city chaps | have seen about
the lakes. | came suddenly upon a
very large bear in thick swamp, ly-
ing upon a large hollow log across a
brook fishing, and he was so much IN
terested in his sport that he did not
notice me until ! had approached very
near to him, so that ] could see exact
ly how he baited his hook ana played
his fish. He fished in this wise: There
was large hole hrongh the log on
which he lay, and he thrust his fore
arm through the hole and held his
open paw in the water and waited for
tho FISH TO gather around and into ii,
and when full he clutcEed his fist and
brought up a handful of fish. and sat
and ate them with great gusto; then
down with the paw again, and So on.
The brook was fairly alive with lit
tie trout and red sided suckers and
some black suckers, so the old fellow
let himself out on the fishes. He did
not eat their heads. There was quite
a pile OF them upon the log. ] sup
pose the oil in his paw attracted the
fish and bai,ed them even better than
a fly hook, and his toenails were his
hooks, and sharp ones, too, and once
grabbed, the fish are sure to stay.
They also catch frogs IN these forest
brooks, and drink of the pure water
in hot summer days, and love to lie
and wallow IN the muddy swamps, as
well as our pigs in the mire.
They often GROSS narrow places in
lakes by swimming, and also rivers,
and seem to love 10 take q turn in the
water. | once saw one swimming
from the mainland to the big sland
in Mooselucmagantic lake, with just
streak of his back out of the waite
looking like a log moving alon
Sometimes YOU sec only their heads
out Of the water; at other times half
of their bodies are 10 be seer, We
account for this difference by their
condition. If fat, the grease helps
buoy them up; it lean they sink
lower in the water.

A WOMAN ON THE GALLONS.
HideOus scene at the Hanging OF
Woman i'm England, who Poisoned
Her Husband.


NEW YORK, May pa horrible
hanging occurred to-day at Lincoln.
The victim was Mrs. Leflley, who
poisoned her husband last Fall, and
was duly committed and sentenced at
Lincolnshire sessions. She had, how
ever. acquired some money at her
husbands death, and spent it liberal
ly in pressing an appeal to the home
secretary for communication of sen
teHce to imprisonment for life, or if
that were refused, for a reprieve of
few weeks. To the very last moment
Mrs. Lefiiey believe that a reprieve
would be granted, and she was not
by any means reconciled to her fate.
When she first saw the haBgman in
the pinioaing- she shrieked and
tainted. She was restored, and the
hangman began toprepare her for the
gallows by pinioning her elbows and
hanging a strap loosely around her
skirts to be frightened about her
an kles. After she had walked to the
scaffold, Mrs. Lefiley fought DIES
perately to prevent these restraints
and gave utteranee to frightful yells
which were heard even outside the
massive walls of the jail. On the way
to the scahold the screams
of the condemned were almost mania
cal and drowned the voice of the
chaplain, who was reading the prayer
for the dying. When she was placed
upon the trap she continued to scream
and avow her innocence until the
white cap was pulled down over her
mouth and stitled her voice. Then
the trap fell, the woman was dropped
into the well and IN a few minutes
was pronounced dead. The usual in
quest was held and the corpse was
buried in the Jail yard and covered
with quick lime. Contrary to the us
ual custom, no representatives of the
press were admitted to the jail yard
and very contradictory stories are
told by the medical men and other
official witnesses of the execution.
All the facts as stated above are adj
mitted by all the witnesses, but some
of them state in addition that Hang
man Binns was unnecessarily bar
barous IN ms treatment Of the
unhappy women. He knocked her
down in the pinioningroom and
checked her until her face was livid
to stop her screams. The London
papers gen orally condemn the exclu-
sion of the press aud say this DISGRACE
! full scene furnishes another reason for
the dismal of Binns from his Office Of
official hangman.

Beet-GrOwing III England

Farmers in England are taking to

an association has been formed, which,

have 500, 600 worth of plant on the
ground ready to make sugar as fast
as the roots come in. The farmer will
