After honey is taken from the hive a
great many persons permit it to spoil be-
cause they do not know how to care for
it. Many think it should be kept cool,
and SO put it in the cellar. This is the
worst thing that could be done with it.
If there is any dampness around, honey
is sure to absorb it. but our cellar is
very dry, and it is the only place we have
to keep it," has been the remark of more
than one to the writer when he has told
them not to put honey in the cellar. 1t
may be well to say, once for all, that
there is not cellar in the United States
dry enough TO keep honey in. Put your
honey in the driest and warmest room
you have about the house. If there is u
fire in it, all the better, as honey should
not be left where it will freeze in winter
Dry and warm is the rule for honey if
you want it TO retain its favor and rich
ness. Honey properly kept will improve
with age, and the older it is the better it
will be. But if kept in damp place it
will absorb moisture, become thin and
watery and soon lose its rich flavor As
soon as it is exposed to cold, when in this
condition. it will granulate in the cells,
and then it is almost worthless except to
melt up and feed to the bees in the
spring.
The above instructions are for comb
honey. Extracted honey should also be
kept in dry, warm place. To keep the
moth worm out of comb honey it is well
to fumigate it occasionally by burning
sulphur in the room where it is stored

What nt the VIRGINIA Station.

Thirty-two half acre plats of ex-
hausted land were planted with wheat
in October, 1892, and MANFRED as fol
lows: Dissolved boneblack, muriate of
potash and nitrate Of soda were applied
singly and two by two in full rations or
at ratios of 1927, so and 240 pounds per
acre, respectively, and each material in
one-half rations and II rations with one
ration of each of the others. Two plats
received gypsum. The yields of the
straw and grain are tabulated. The re.
suits may be summarized as follows:
The application Of nitrogen, potash OF
phosphoric acid alone resulted in no in
creased yield.
The application of two of the elements
in combination gave some increase in
yield, provided phosphoric acid was in
the combination.
Potash increased yield somewhat. pro
vided phosphoric acid was present.
The result with nitrogen was some
what conflicting, giving some increase
with phosphoric acid. but when all three
elements We're present an increase of nj
trogen was of no advantage.
Phosphoric acid each time it was ap
piled Except when alone) gave decided
increase to crop, and the l.! ration gave
the greatest yield.

How and When to Apply Lime.


II. Stewards practice in applying lime
to any crop for the benefit of the clover
following it has been to prepare the land
in the best manner, for lime will not
make up for any deficiency in this respect
turning under what manure has been
appropriated for the crop, then spread
ing the lime prepared by air shaking, by
exposure to the weather in heaps in the
field, and then following by the seed.
The seed and the lime are both narrowed
in together. He says in The Country
Gentleman:
AS crimson clover is sown in the fall,
it may be put in with wheat or rye in
the south, where it will stand the winter,
but as this will be hardly safe in the
north, the clover may be sown i'll the
spring with oats or alone. In that case
the lime will be applied to the land as
soon as the seed is sown, or before if it
is thought more convenient. But when
the clover is sown for the sole purpose
of blowing in as manure, the limo may
be applied on the land Immediately after
the blowing. The land is then narrowed
and the following crop is put in, OF if it
is to be corn the lime may be applied in
the spring, just before the ground is
finally prepared for planting. The prin-
ciple of it is that the lime is applied
when and in what manner it may have
the best effect upon the green manure
for its decomposition.

The advocates of wide tires for heavy
loads upon tho country roads claim that
they will allow the teams to draw from
% to 50 per cent more load than can be
drawn when narrow tires are used.
Some of the farmers say that as their
money or labor helped build the roads
they have a right to go over them with
such wheels us they please. They have
right to go over their parlcr carpets
with skates on, but it would be cheaper
to use broad soled shoe. And while
they may have paid for the carpet no
one of them paid all the expense of the
roadmaking or road repairing.

ONE KISS.

Because it sas SO brief thing
The loving of this man and maid
Because one little hour il staid.
1t cries for some remembering
Her heart was light, and lighter his:
The weight was all eternity's.
They had no better sign to give
Between the gar,len and the grave
Than this alone they turned and gave,
As though to say TO heaven: We live.
Let other lips their moment miss.
Death shall not say we did not kissr'
The tree is here. the stone is here,
And here come worthier maids and men
Where these have loved to dream again
Tic golden silence is as clear,
But they come not, aud 1t is this
Which consecrates their single kiss.

Poultry Notes.

One OF the most essential things for
poultry raisers to provide for, this and
next month, especially west OF the Cas-
cade mountains, is protection from the
winter rains. Construct sufficient roofing
so the fowls can have easy access to dry
places during the day when they can
roam at large much OF the time. Timber
is cheap, and when sheds are made from
it abundantly for the purposes stated,
chickens may receive the needed protcc-
ton and he the source OF greater profit.
See that youi chicks have fresh water
in their drinking fountains twice q day
Don't thing because it is raining that
they do not want fresh water How
would you like to drink your water from
some puddle made by the rain?
Soak whole barley in water until it
sprouts and feed it to your fowls in the
winter when there is very little other
green food.

What n Song Did.

Again let it be said that it is simply i'm
possible to compute the compass OF ones
influence. A single little act may trans
form Il liie-t often does. This anecdote
bears in itself sensible lesson which all
might learn to advantage:
The power OF sacred song is strikingly
exhibited by an incident OF 'he Crimean
war, told in volumn OF Scotch anecdotes.
Duncan Matheson, Bible reader to the
soldiers in the Crimea, was returning one
night to his lodgings in an old stable.
Sickncd by the sights he had seen, and
depressed with the thought that the siege
OF Sebastopol was likely to last for months,
he trudged along in the mnd knee-deep.
Happening to look up, he saw the stars
shining calmly in the clear sky. Wcar-
ness gave place to the thought that in
heaven there is rest and he began TO sing
aloud the old hymn:
"IIow bright these glorious spirits shine
Whence all their bright array"
The next day was wet and stormy.
While going his rounds Nlathcson came
upon a soldier standing upon the yer-
an3a of an old house. The man Wa IN
soiled and ragged cloths and his shoes
were SO worn that they did not keep his
feet from the mud. The Bible reader drew
him into conversation, chcercd him by
encouraging words, and gave Linn none Y
to by shoes.
81 am not what was yestcrlay,'
answered the man, his heart opcnin% to
Matheson's sympathy. "Last night was
tired OF life and of this laundering siegc.
rock my musket and went down yonlcr,
determined to blow out my brains. AZ
got round that hillock | heard someone
singing, How bright these glorious sp T.
it's shine,' 1t recalled TO me the Sabbath
school where | used to sing it, and the
religious truths | had heard there.
81 felt ashamed of being such coward.
l said to myself: Here is comradc rs
badly off as am, but he is not coward
he's bearing it!' felt that, that man
had something which ! did not possess to
make him accept with cheeriulness our
hard lot. | went back to my tent, and to
day am seeking that thing which made
the singer SO happy
'Do you know who the singer was?"
asked Matheson.
"No."
"Well, was the singer, seeking COM
fort and hope in the song you heard"
The tears came into the soldiers eyes
as he trust the money into Matheson's
hands, saying: "Aftcr what you have
done for me, can't take this from YOU"

EXTRACTS FROM REPORT OF STATE BOARD
OF HORTICULTURE.
In connection with budding and graft
ing, and intimately allied to it, is the sci.
ence of cross breeding, in which scientists
nave produced such astonishing revela-
tons in vegetable life. Cross breeding
consists OF removing out OF one blossom
Of fruit, tree or plant the stamen or male
parent and bringing those OF another and
different variety, and busting the pistil or
female parent with the pollen from the
stamen OF such plant. The scierce OF
cross breeding has only been practiced
within the last ninety years.
That you may get Il practical conception
OF the work of cross breeding with trees
and plants, l will briefly give YOU Il des-
cription of the process.
In most flowers when they open, you
have noticed those hair or thread-like
projections these are the stamen OF Il
plant; on the summit OF each OF the sta
men is Il cap-like formation, which is
called an anther; in this cap is concealed
the pollen, generally a yellow, dust-like
powder; in the center OF each flower is 4
single erect projection, called a pistil;
upon its summit is formation called Il
stigma. When flower bud opens to the
air and sunlight, the cap-like anthers on
the summit of the stamer burst open,
and the powdery pollen is thrown out,
some portion OF it must naturally lodge
upon the summit or stigma OF The pstil
of the flower, this process tertilizes the
embryo seed at the base OF the pistil, and
it is quickened into vegetable life. Thus
ii we carry the pollen from one variety
and dust it on the pistil OF another differ
ent variety, we shall obtain as the result
new fruit or flowers, rs this cross breed
ing will cause the qualities OF the two
distinct varieties so crossed to unite and
combine in the crossbreed. In the pro-
cess of cross breeding, the flower worked
upon must be covered with some light
airy material to keep the bees and other
insects in search of honey away, as they
carry pollen on their feet and legs from
different flowers, which might desti Oy the
work you have performed.
