and bee-keepers who used the machine
for taking it from the comb prospered.
The effect Of this prosperity was to
induce many to engage in the produc-
ton of honey. Soon there were reports
that much of the o-called extracted
honey was adulterated with liquid glu-
cose, glyccrine and favoring extracts.
Some newspaper writer's declared that

often enough a lie will be likely to take
and keep its place among the things that
everyone believes. 1t is certain that
most persons became pred JUDGED
against extracted honey very soon after
it was placed on the market, and preju-
dices can not be destroyed by facts or
reasoning. Though extracted honey
should be worth more pound for pound
than honey sold with the comb and
much more than honey sold with the
comb and wood and glass box, it soon
sold for much less, and this circum-
stance helped some people to believe
that 1t was not genuine.
1t is likely that sentiment has much
to do in making people prefer honey in
the shape it is placed in the hive by
the ''little busy bee." The bible writers
likened everything excellent tto honey
in the honey comb" All the sweet
poets from Virgil to Whittier have sung
its praises. The persons who see nice
piece of comb honey on the table begin
to think of the passages in the bible
about it and to associate it with the
most Industrious of insects and the love-
lest of the flowers. There is q charm
about it that is not associated with any
other article of food. For some reason

When a machine was invented for
throwing the pure liquid honey from
Inc cells where it had been placed and
sealed up by bees apiarians supposed that
'nelr business would become very profit
able. The comb from which the honey
was taken could be returne d to the hive,
nlled and emptied several times during

'nis arrangement bees would be required

Flowers that Will Grow In the Shade.

Flowers that Will Grow in the Shade.
But few plants will develop their
flowers in the shade and none will do it
so well as if it were lighted up by sun
shine part of the day. In reply to
numerous queries as to which flowers
will thrive in the shade the editor of the
Horticultural Times replies as follows:
'Fuchsias, pansiss, forget me- nots,
violets, lobelias, lilies Of the valley, hol-
lyhOcks, phloxes and other herbaceous

guish if denied all direct sunlight. The
best effect in such situations il pro-

beauty of which is not dependent upon
their flowers. Among these may be
ranked the gold and silver variegated-
leaved geraniums, achyranthes, alter

Is to bring the various shades in con-
tra't, produce a pleasing effect, which
continues during the entire summer
months, and is not surpassed by any dis
play of flowers. The cultivators o. flowers
in rooms should understand the neces-
sity of sunlight to plants that are to
flower, and endeavor to get these as
close as possible to window having an

from want of light. Many plants might
remain semi-dormant in q tom eraturo

without material injury; while if the

Curing Hay.

Grass cut after the dew is off and
drawn in during the heat of the day, is
the best when practicable. The
Eureka mower leaves the grass in a
most admirable condition to dry evenly,
as its seml-erect condition allows the
sun to penetrate the mass. To obviate
the over-drying of the surface while the
upder side remains moist, the hay ted.
der has replaced the tedious hand pro-
cess. When the surface of the grass
has dried partially. the tedder will
shake it up loose and partly invert it,
leaving it in condition to be quickly
and readily dried. When hay yields
over one ton to the acre, the tedder is
needed in proportion as it exceeds that
amount. The time required to properly
dry hay will depend upon whether it is
stirred, and upon its degree of maturity.

Farm and Garden Notes,


Dehorning still excites interest and
discussion.
Peas and brush beans may be sown
continuously from the early Spring SOW
ing every three weeks until mitsum-
mer.
Amixture of resin and lard is recon-
mended for applying on the trunks of
trees to repel the borer.
Appearance has much to do with the
sale of manure. 1t is popular fallacy
that muck, being black, must therefore
be very rich.
All the leguminous plants that have
been tried make good ensilage, but
they are so highly heterogeneous, as to
mike too rich FOOD to use alone in any
quantity.
To prevent cramps in young chickens
keep them on a dry, clean floor in a
roomy coop, and spread clean sand or
sawdust on the floor when necessary.
Give the chickens a drop of tincture
of camphor in the food for every five;
bread crumbs will be convenient food
fc. the purpose.
Eisy and profuse Precipitation is an
indication of weak digestion AMI NAL
nutrition. Give the horse a quart of
raw llnseed oil with one ounce of tur-
peHtine and feed bran mashes with
dram doses of sulphate Of iron daily.
Give no new oats and be careful not to
use musty hay.
A bright and effective bit of back
yard fowe. gardening may be produced
by filing "a barrel with earth and
manure to within few inches Of the
top, ana planting petunias. Olly lit
tie care in supplying sufficient water is
necessary, aud when the plants are
grown they will not only fill the barrel
but fall over its sides. and as the flo wers
bloom in profusIon it makes a very
pretty show through the entire summer.
The kind of sheep to keep depends on
the soil and pasturage. The South
down i, the best breed to cross with
native ewes that are made to forage a
great portion of the time. Merinos do
better In large q , cks than do the heavy
mutton sheep. Heavy breeds can not
range as easily as the small sheep, and
therefore require more attention. Using
the improved breeds for crossing means
that larger allowance of food must be
given il success is expected.
Binders should certainly be used
when horse has weak eyes a1d is

would be we'll to put screen of dark
green cloth across the face from one
binder to the other, to keep the eyes
