BY the color of the honey and the
aroma therefrom- an experienced bee
keeper can determine the source from
whence it came. Thus, it is quite easy
to tell buckwheat honey by it's very
dark look. and by its strong and pun
gent odor. Honey-dew has the same
dark look. but lacks the odor or arc ma.
In fact, there is little or no aroma
about honey-dew. For this reason no
bee-keeper need be deceived as to the
source of such odorless honey. Aroma
is term employed to designate those
substances. the extreme minute par
ticles OF which are supposed to affect
the organs of smell SO as to produce
peculiar odors- The particles diffused
through the atmosphere and affecting
the olfactory nerves-if the theory of
particles of matter be correct-must
indeed be extremely minute, yet not
SO much SO but that we easily detect
the smell from field of any honey
bearing plant or flower. These odors
have generally been supposed to de-
pend upon essential oils.-Rural Home.

plants are lifted, with Il mass OF earth
on them and placed in position in the
new bed. This work may be done any
time in the year, when the ground is
not froZeu We have had ripe berries
in this way six weeks after early spring
planting. Caution is necessary in
adopting this mode on adhesive or
heavy soils. not to press it with the
spade with such firmness as to make 1T
compact, solid or adhesive.
These different methods have various
advantages, but it should be borne in
mind that the plants exhaust the soil
more or less, and require the annual
application of manure or fertilizers.
But the most perfect growth, and es-
pecially required for marketing, and
berries of the finest quality are to be
obtained only by making new beds by
transplanting into rich, fresh, well-pre-
pared soil. If done as soon as the crop
has been gathered. say about the mid
die of summer, when the soil is suf-
ficiently moist, they will come forward
and make good growth through au-
tumn, and be nearly as forward as if
set out the previous spring. They may
be set a month later, cutting off all the
old and large leaves, and preserving
the freshly-applied moisture in the soil
with fine mulch of manure.-Country

Hot Water for Wounds.

1t is a fact not generally known, even
to good nurses, that one of the great
est reliefs to the intense and agonizing
pain from n wound is to place as nearly
as possible to the wound Out being ex-
tremely careful not to touch it, rub
Der bag, filed with water at the boil
ing point. Its effect is as quieting as
an opiate, and it has no bad effects
which an opiate always has. Care
must be taken that the bag be new and
strong, not too full, and that the top is
screwed on tight. To scald the patient
might be fatal, and certaily would be
torture. Never use for such applica-
tons of very hot water anything ex-

HORSE STORIES,

A HORSE belonging to John Burtless,
of Upton, Mich, was found to be COW
cred with honey bees the other day and
a fire had to be built to remove them.
The horse may die.
A FARMER near Anite, La, owns a
horse that will not drink from the

drink FIRST. He does not seem to object
to drinking after horses, but draws the
line at mules.
A HORSE at Irvington, Cal, that was
annoyed while taking his daily meal

THE Springfield Republican records a
notable horse trade made in that vicin-

he was driving fine black horse, lead

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.

baked Tomatoes: Wash five or six
smooth tomatoes, cut a small piece from
the stem end and put little salt, pep
per and piece of butter the size of a
nutmeg in each. Place them in dish,
and bake in moderate oven for almost
an hour, and serve them hot.-Boston
Herald.
Tomato Sandwiches: Slice some ripe
tomatoes and pour over them a very
little vinegar and oil and sprinkle
lightly with pepper. Prepare bread and
butter for the sandwiches, and lay the
tomato slices between the slices of
bread. Thin slices of cucumbers may
be added with advantage.-N. Y. World.
Artificial coral may be made of four

with candlewick, twist into the shape
of coral branches and dip into the resin.

Ansrlc. and her Eaormou. nrewerles.

Amsrica and her Enormous Brewerfes.
Inquiries are often heard in public places
about the large breweries of this country,
and in view of the interest people take in
the history of all successful enterprises, a
few facts short and to the point, about one
of the largest and best known of the West
ern Breweries, viz, the 2. Schoenhofen
Brewing Co. of Chicago, kindly supplied by
that concern, may not be out of order
Business was commenced in 1858 by the
founder, P. Schoenhofen, on small lot OF
1850 square feet, for which he paid about
$500 The ground now taken up by the
brewery amounts to 101 SIS square feet and
is valued at over 500, 600 Add to this a
large piece of property acquired few
months ago at cost of 5000, for the
building of an enlarged bottling department
made necessary by the fact that although
working day and night in their present
location they are unable to fill the demand
for TIER bottled goods, and there is enough
ground for good sized farm, all to be de-
voted to the production of Gambrinus foam
ing beverage.
The brewery proper is known to be the
best fitted up in the United States, and is well
worth q visit, il only to view the two enor-
nous copper kettles in which the brewing
is done. Each kettle has capacity Of 500
barrels, 50 that by brewing twice day
every day in the year, total annual output
of over $50, 700 barrels can be obtained.
The elevator and malt house have a stor-
age capacity of over 24o, 600 bushels and a
mating capacity of over ], $50 bushels day.
As for their various brands OF beer, it is
not necessary to say much about them.
Most people have heard of them and the
popularity Of this class of merchandise is
generally very good criterion of quality.
Their special high grade brew EpELwEIss is
perhaps one of the best known beers on the
continent The brand they sell most OF
however Is the SELECT, this being q high

Two Forms of Securing Seif-RenewaI by
Means of runners.
There are two distinct ways of re-
newing straw berry charlottesville
one which is generally preferred and
adopted being simply transplanting,
and the other some form of self-renew-
al by the agency of runners. An OBJ
lection to the latter is the continued oc-
cupation of the same piece of ground,
the fertility being partly exhausted by
the previous growth This objection
may be in a great degree remedied by
copious and skillful manuring, and if
the soil has been found by trial to be
especially benefited by some particular
fertilizer, the plant will be improved
by an addition of it to the barn manure.
