Wis, farmers institute few words

honey for market. In my experience the
first and most Indispensable requisite in the
production of a trst-class article is that
honey should he completely capped and

tice of the so called tiering up system ap-
pears Indispensable and if it is designed to
find "a market in the large cities, it seems
best to Use the highest priced white poplar
sections and shipping crates-the latter to
hold no more than one tier of section and not
over twenty-five pounds There also ap
pears to be a demand for a neat small six
pound crate. By the use of wood or tin
separators between the sections while being
filled, beautiful uniformity may be secured
and these uniform sections may be shipped
with much less danger of leakage. The
removal of all propolis or bee glue from the
sections should never be neglected if it is
desired to place upon the market first class
product. All these precautions necessitate
a very great amount of extra labor

The OH mnn,c The Res,.

a correspondent Of the Maine Farmer,
located at Sequel California, says
In this county our apples are nearly
half lost by worms The late rains injured
the grapes in the state Mr.. Jarvis, who
has a large vineyard said that where he
was gathering six tons at the acre, he now
only gets one and a half tons per acre. so

to the ground
There are not half so many independent
and contented people here as there are in
Maine Our crop from Santa Cruz to Hol
ester, about 40 miles, is principally hay,
which is made by sowing black oats, wheat
or barley, and cutting just before it is ripe
Much Of it is baled and taken to Santa
Cruz to market 1t now sells at from SO
to Sll per ton There is an exception to
raising hay about Watsonville as there is
a large sugar beet factory there, much
land is planted to beets. In this vicinity
hay is raised for years on the same land,
and for IA rest it is planted to corn. And
here word on corn raising. Nearly ev-
cry ear has worms in it. especially small
patches this is the case of my own plant

and it had from one to four worms to the
ear. In Maine it would be fed without

What are the relative values of the diff
ferent woods used for fuel Many years
ago Marcus Bull Of Philadelphia made ex-
tended experiments in this direction. from
the results Of which some interesting figures
are CLEANED. Taking hickory as a standard
of value. and setting il down at 100, the
best maple can only be placed at 60, and
softer kinds five or six points below com
pared with hickory, chestnut-oak is valued
at So and the other oaks decline steadily
until we reach the Spanish oak at - White
OAK stands at 81 and red oak at - white
ash is almost as valuable as the last named,
rated at - beech aud black walnut are
placed at 80. though black walnut varies
greatly between hard and soft birch wood

most valuable among the pine woods, being
placed at -, which, 10y the way, is the
same as soft walnut white pine is l2 but
there is still less valuable firew ood-Lom-

are differences in hickory with shell bark

ash would be worth S. 60 and red oak 81 90
Would any one pay more for white ash and
red oak for fuel, than for hard maple :
Farmers would he glad to sell white ash

at less than the price of maple. As between
these three kinds Of wood the figures re

1t will be interesting to keep an account
of the cost Of keeping your horses through
the coming winter. If YOU will do this, YOU
may he able to tell whether it paws to keep
so many horses or not.
When farmers let sheep go because wool
was low they forgot that sheep, indepen
dent of wool, are worth more than their
cost in what they do for the farm and in
the meat they furnish
\ horse should not be allowed to drink

John +. Russell, ex secretary of the Massa
chusetts board of agriculture tells of see
ing some horses in France fed coarse beans
then watered all they would drink, and i'm
mediately killed and dissected He oLserv-
ed that considerable quantity of beans
had been washed out of the stomach. and
some Of them were found % feet distant
from the stomach, in the intestines.
The result of the election is "A practical
assurance that the duties on wool will be
retained for the next four years at least
At all events, this is inferable from the po-
sltion of the two parties during the cam
paign. The foreigner will have no better
opportunity to fill up the American market
than heretofore, and the uncertainty hang
ing on this point has been removed Wool

weeks and bids fair to 90 still higher in

The value Of sheep is not sufficiently ap-
preciated by the general farmer Most
farmers keep few sheep, but they are not
kept and managed to make the most profit
that is possible Many farmers, as soon as
they shear their flock, turn them out into
the woods to make the best of it. Many
are killed by dogs, some stray off, and many
times the remainder come home in the
fall looking like bunch of burrs Their
value in cleaning and renovating old farms
is too great to be overlooked by the far
mer especially when so many have poor
bushy farms. But to renovate an old farm
is not where their greatest value lies it is
in mutton and wool But to gain all the
profit that may he realized sheep must be
well cared for and all their products prop
erly looked after and disposed of.
Most every farmer is aware of the fact
that sheep must be fat to make the best
mutton, but few conceive the idea that a
properly and well fed sheep produces more
and better wool than one poorly fed and
cared for. Wool is a product from feeding,
just the same as fat or flesh, and the flock
should he fed and managed with view to
wool growth, and that Of the fine quality.
The demand for wool by the mauufactur.
ers whose goods are used by every body at
all times and seasons, will never likely de
crease, nor will it become unstable at
profitable prices. A ready market will be
found at good prices at all times, so that
wool growing will be one of our most valu-
able farm industries. Sheep of the South
down breed, perhaps, are best for wool and
mutton. They will produce ten pounds of
wool, which will sell for 30 cents pound.

Dlphtherla is beyond doubt contagious.
both IN severe and mild forms. and is as
much 50 as small pOX hence the same pre-
cautions should be taken to prevent its
spread. There is more danger from the
mild cases than from the severe ones from
the fact that less precaution is taken. What
is commonly called folicular tonsiltis in one
patient may cause the severest case Of diph-
liberia in another member Of the household
This has been our personal observation and
regret
DR.. jacob has said "What has been
called folicular tonsiltis is mostly diphthe-
ria 1t is seldom dangerous to the patient
as the tonsils have but very little lymph
communication with the rest of the body !:
but 1t is contagious This form is frequent
in the adult-in whom it loses nothing, how
ever, OF its contagiouSness Diphtheria in
the adult proves dangerous to the commu

the patient from communicating the dis ase.
1t is apt 10 last long firstly, because most
cases occur on a surface covered with pave

OF the constant exposure and neglect on
the part of the patient. Even without it,
dlphtherla may last weeks and more with
it, 1t is subject to sudden relapses. And as
long as it lasts it is contagious. As diph-
theria is but mild affection in many adults.
who disregard it and frequently do not care
to mention its existence, pain in swallowing
