We should be satisfied if We save the
bees from building comb without
botherirg about the caDping OF it. II
We consider the quality OF the honey
instead OF the quantity, we should
soon find the prices increasing. One
who sells unripe honey ia as dishonest
as one who sells nnripe fruit. My
highest epdeavor is not to sell the
most honey but the best. The reason
we hear OF 80 much candied honey,
is because it was extracted before
being ripe, thus the aroma escapes
and leaves nothing but sweet mass
unworthy the name Of honey. The
presence OF the aroma is required to
preserve it in it's natural state. For
the past five years, I have had no
honey granulated before spring.
People will be cheated; for the butter
and cheese must be yellow, and the
honey white, all contrary to nature;
but this is no reason why We should
use authorizations. We should aim to
keep everything as neatly in its natur-
al condition as possible. Take no
honey from the E hive before it is
capped, and We shall soonss have q
good demand tor extracted honey.
Mr.. John Honeyman. F. &. I. A.,
of Great Britain, at the last meeting
of the royalinetitute held in Glasgow,
read paper on the relative merits Of
high and low ceilings in dwelling
houses, which has attracted general
attention. II has been held hitherto
that, other things being equal, apart
ments with high ceilings are more
easily ventilated and more healthful
to the occupants. Mr.. Honeyman
reverses this proposition. and main
tains that rooms with low ceilings,
besides being more readily heated,
possess decided advantage in point
Of ventilation. He claims that in
high ceiledjrooms the space above the
tops of the windows and doors becomes
permanent reservoir for vitiated
air and gases, which. remaining
stationary during the day. descend to
lower levels at night and poison the
atmosphere in our sleeping rooms.
The comfort of stock should be one
of the first cares of the breeder. Not
every man is fit to care for cattle or
other domestic animals. A herds
man should be possessed OF good
common sense. be faithful, kind
hearted, and patient and should have
time in which to do his work we'll.

aThe Boston Journal says: Farmers
IN England are taking to beet-grow-
og. In Norfolk they have under
taken to grow this season at least 900
&C es OF sugar beet from selected
seed, and on the faith of this an asso-
citation has been formed, which. long
before the beet is ready, will have
s100, 900 worth of plart on the ground
ready to make sugar as fast as the
roots come in. The farmer will get
s5 ton for the white beet delivered
az the works. and as he can grow
from fifteen to twenty tons to the
acre, he will, after allowing for hessy
and all costs of land, labor, !.
.eed and transport, be able to reckon, /
even in an Indifferent season, upon !
q net profit OF at least $15 an acre.
In paper read before the Edin
burgh health society. DR.. Almond
referred to the custom of having the
head covered out o. doors and un-
covered within doors as very injuri-
QUE. on account of its making people
30 sensi'iye to drsughts OF air as to
cause them to take cold. Boys, said
be, who went bareheaded out OF doors
could stand greater amount of ven.
tilation in schoolrooms and sleeping
rooms than those who wore head
coverings.
