In the Sunday "Star" Of yesterday
obser we'd an article charging me with
having been q principal in an alleged
pr!zs fight that was to have come of at
the Delaware House or some other
locality In this city on Saturday night
Will you please allow me to state
through the columns of your journal
that the above allegation is not only 9
falsehcod, but malicious and calculated
to injure me if allowed to pass un'
noticed. 1 never was engaged in any
such an affair in my life, and have nc
desire to be, as 1 am not in that line OF
business. Very respectfully,
j l.. FERGUSON.

HONEY ON THE FARM,
Why Bees Should be Kept by Every Eco
nomical Agriculturist.

Why Bees Should be Kept by Every Eco
nomical Agriculturist.
Good, pure honey can be used for all
the purposes to which sugar or syrup
may be applied. A few hives of bees
will gather that which otherwise would
be wasted, and store it for the family.
A hundred pounds of honey has been Sc
cured from strong colony in single
season, and this amount represents a
very important item in the family ac-
count 1t may be claimed, however
that with honey at twenty cents a
pound, and sugar at ten cents, the use
OF honey is not economical. Such is a
tact, but it should be only stronger in
ducement to keep bees, as each pound
OF honey will purchase two pounds of
sugar. There are locations, however.
at which honey is not readily salable,
and some families do not care to 90 to
the trouble Of shipping small quantities,
while sugar may be dearer from the
same cause, and in such cases the pro-
ductlon OF honey should be an object.
Even if used in the place ofsugar, with
Its value greater, the sweetenine prop
erty OF honey is much greater. Bees
should be made serviceable by all who
are located at distance from market.
especially where the conditions are fay-
orabte. The knowledge required for
successful Bookkeeping is easily derived
IT one is determined to become familiar
with the details of management, and it
is surprising that the majority of farm
ers do not endeavor to produced the
saccharine matter at home as well as
the bread, meat and vegetables. 1t is
claimed that single individual can at
tend to one hundred colonies in the
busy honey season, while dozen hives
can be managed without anv loss OF
valuable time whatever. We do not in-
Inmate that anybody can do the work,
but any careful person can do so with
care.-Farua, Field and Btockman.
