How 10 Ship and Sell Honey.

The Popular Demands in Both Comb
and Extracted Honey.
Valuable hints on shipping and selling
honey appeared not long sgs from a
number of commission men in different
sections of the country in Gleanings IN
Bee Culture.
BY way of summary it is noted that
the single tier case is invariably pre-
ferred. the capacity being anywhere
from twelve to twenty-four pounds.
The Il sections are in most cases rec
commended, and light weight rather than
over weight is preferred because most OF
the retail trade sell comb honey by the
section and not by the pound. Com
menting on this last A. |. Root, the ed
itor. saws: Customers are beginning to
demand a sections, a little less in width
than the regular 1916, and we propose
next year to make the Ii section our
standard instead of the 15-16." Most
of the commission men wrote that they
could sell dark honey in extracted form
better than when in the comb. and they
advised the producer to extract most OF
his dark honey if he wished to sell 1t.
The popularity of the sixty pound
square tin can for shipping extracted
honey is noted. Only two correspond
ents preferred barrels to the square cans.
The latter costs about half cent a
mound. and new barrels can be had for
about a quarter of a cent. 1t seems
that there is only quarter of cent IN
favor of the barrels. and as commission
men generally prefer the square cans
producers may all gather good hint

Wheat Rust.

Wheat rust belongs to a division of
rusts where the fungi causing them
develop in several apparently distinct
stages or forms. In the first, or sum-
mer stage. the wheat rust fungi produce
what is called red rust" which may
develop later in the season into the sec
ond stage. known as ''black rust" This
is much more injurious to the crop thar
- rust. Early ripening varieties may
therefore escape serious injury, while
those ripening late may be badly dam
aged by the rust.

seeding Winter Wheat.

American CultivatOr gives advice as
follows in regard to seeding winter
wheat:
The time for wheat sowing should be
carefully considered. Most farmers are
too much hurried, thinking that large
growth is what is mainly needed to en-
able tbs plant to withstand the winter
and spring freezing and thawing. A
heavy top for wheat is all right, provided
it is grown under the proper conditions
of cool and moist air and soil. Wheat
is not hot weather plant. It loves
moisture. especially in early stages of its
growth. Seed sown while the soil is
parched with summer heats cannot make
the right kind of growth to stand the
winter. 1t is better to wait until
October for the rain than to SOW IN a
dry time earlier than this.
Ia dry soil the seed is sure to be COW
cred too deeply, and the plant will lose
part of its vigor before the germ reaches
the surface. If hot weather follows. as
it is apt to do with very early sowing,
the wheat spires upward and the root
grows downward What is wanted is
cool. wet weather to beat the leaves back
to the soil as soon as they come above it.
This causes the plant to spread horizon
tally, and the roots naturally grow in
the same direction. Another most i'm
portant point in wheat seeding is to keep
manure as much as possible near the sr--
face or on it.

A SOUVENIR OF SECESSION.

The Pen and Pad Used In Signing the Ordi- =
nance of Secession 80 Years Ago.
Charleston News and Courier.J
In the show window of Hickey's is quite
a valuable souvenir. In a frame in the
window are the penholder and blotting pad
used in signing the Ordinance of Secession.
The pen is trimmed with piece of palmetto
which was used to decorate the hall In
which the convention was held. Written
on a cardboard is the following interesting
account OF these historic relics:
'This blotting paper and pen handle were
used at the signing of the Ordinance of Sc
cession of South Carolina, in the Institute
Hall, Charleston, s. c., 20th December, A.
D., 1860. They were procured bv me from
the table on the stage Immediately after ad-
journment and have been in my possession
ever since. The palmetto is from tree used
as decoration on the same occasion.
AUGUSTINE 7. SMYTHE"
The News and Courier reporter with a
bit of curiosity examined the blotting pad
and easily made out the following names on
the pad: Julius Pringle Smith. Francis j.
Porcher, Gabriel Msnigault aud Thomas Y.
Simons. There were a great many other
names not quite SO distinct. The name
"Wilson" appeared plainly in one corner
of the pad, but the initials were blurred.
Mr.. Smythe certainly has a valuable
souvenir, and one which is closely connected
with the history Of the State as well as the
entire South.

ITERDAY's ATTENDANCE.

Old Jimmy Calvin. had regular picnic
ut Exposition Park. He always could play
ball, and especially bat. but usually he does
not care to worry the opposing pitcher by
knocking out home runs, etc. However,
yesterday was Galvin's first game, after the
first lay off he ever suffered, and he decided
to celebrate the occasion. The first time he
went to bat everybody was startled at the
crack of base hit, but in the eighth inning
he cracked out three-baser, and every one
of the !, 1925 people present got mp on their
toes and shouted.
1t was great game, and the way the local
men worked took the prize. In the second
inning Keuhne did some of the finest base
running that has been seen on the new
grounds. After one man was out he hit for
q single and almost Immediately stole Sec
ond. He made an attempt to steal third,
and was almost within reach of the bag when
Robinson sacrificed and Keuhne continued
and crossed the plate. All through the game
Keuhne played much better than he has at any
time this season.
1t has often been said that the Pittsburg team
has one bad inning. and they did not fail to
have 1t yesterday. Il was the third, and Cleve-
land profted by it to the tune OF two runs.
After one man was out McGil hit for two
bases. Browning's grounder was fumbled by
Calvin, and he went TO first, McGill taking third.
Delehanty hit to Corcorsn, who threw to catch
McGili at the plate, but Carroll dropped it This
put Delehanty on first and Browning on sec
ond. Larkin's grounder was jpggled by Cor

were costly.

were loud calls for Tommy Quinn, who has

A PENSACOLA MAIDSTONE.
Wonderful Cure Effected ON a Man Bitten
by q Man.

Dy o M1ans
Pensacola News.l
Officer Byrnes, OF the police force, who
was severely bitten on one of his fingers
about nine days ago by young man whom
he had arrested, has suffered very much
since then. His hand became very much
infamed, and owing to the season of the
year, he naturally felt some alarm Cor the
result. Hearing of his condition, Mrs.
Maggie McVoy, of No. III Spring street,
sent for him last Saturday and gave him the
use of maidstone in her possession. The
stone was applied to the wound, and imme-
diately adhered thereto, remaining for sew
eral hours when it fell of. After being
soaked in warm milk the stone was again
applied, remaining on the wound for some
time. The result on Officer Byrnes' hand
was truly wonderful. Nearly all the in
fammation and pain was removed, and on
yesterday he was able to move his fingers
with ease and without pain, and felt conf
dent that his hand would soon be all right.
At the request Of a reporter of the News,
Mrs. McVoy yesterday showed him this
stone. It is in the shape and about the size
of large pecan nut and of dark greyish
color. About 56 years ago, Mr.. Ferdinand
Christian, grandfather of Mrs. McVoy,
killed deer in the suburbs Of the present
city of Pensacola, and took this stone from
the stomach of the animal, since which time
it has been carefully preserved In tine fam
lily. Within Mrs. McVoy's recollection
it has been successfully used on persons
suffering from the bite OF dogs and cats, and
on one occasion portion OF the stone was
trimmed off and used successfully in saving
the life of a gentleman suffering with
severe attack of bilious collie. It is said
that Mr.. Joe Keyser, of this city, is also
possessed of similar stone.
