Testimony From Various Sections Vhura
This Grain Has Been Tested
AT the south it is common p5dcticd
to sow certain class of oats in the au-
tumn, and some attempt has been made
in the north to grow winter oats. Fro1r
the Wisconsin and Michigan stations
come reports that winter oats failed to
endure the winter. Professor Henry Of
the Wisconsin station is reported as say
ing that he does not believe there is any
chance whatever of the southern form
of this grain succeeding at the north,

been tried but in Il few localities north
of the Ohio; that Practically no system

all that region, and that they have been

EXTRACTED HONEY.
The Packages For It-Comparativo Merits
of Barrels, Cans, Pals and Glass dars.

lie PackHgeA For It-ComparativS Merits
of Barrels. Cans, Pals and Glass dars.
The barrel is the largest package en-
ployed for honey, and is used by many
apiarists for keeping their honey in
bulk, but money is not retailed from a
barrel Alcohol barrels are the kind Sc
lected and are bought secondhand from
druggists.
Large tin cans, made the size of an
extractor can, are used by numerous bee
keepers TO keep their crop of extracted
honey. One Of the advantages claimed
for these cans is that they allow the
honey to ripcn after it is harvested if
the cans are kept in warm place. But
the cans have some disadvantages They
are expensive, not easily transported,
and viii rust easily. Charles Dadant
who finds that barrel will outlast
can of the same c.paclry, writes as fol-
lows in The American Bee Journal:
The GO pound can is nearer to the re.
failing package than those already men
toned. 1t owes its reputation to the
fact that IA great many grocers are will
ing to buy it and retail the honey out
This package is also within the limits
Of the purse of well to do consumers
For this reason we think it is quite
likely that this package will come more
into favor ever day.
The flaIing lard pals are a good pack

style is that they can he shipped when
empty i'll IL rather comparatively small
compass, owing to their nesting inside
one another We have for 20 years or
more retailed the greater part of our
honey crop in pals. We handle four
sizes. weighing when full 10 pounds, 5,
-, and also small can holding only
"A pounds. These are usually weighed
gross, honey and all and the weight Of
the pail helps to pay for its cost. 1t is
with this package that we are able to
reach the masses-the consumers who
are unable to spend much for delicacies,
and who want their money $ worth of
what they buy. When honey is put up in
attractive shape, thousands Of pounds
find their way into the consumer
hands directly from the producers
home. We never put up our honey in
cans directly while extracting it, but
transfer it to the cans from the barrels
as occasion requires. 1t takes little
more time Int the honey is more clear
having had time to get rid of the i'm
puritics which may be taken out with
the last gallon of liquid honey drawn
or may be scraped from the surface Of
the honey when the barrelful is granu-
lated.
Glass jars are also used for the retail
ing Of extracted honey We have never
liked this package, owing to the danger
of hrcallage, the expense and weight Of
the glass. Besides when the honey gran.
ulates it does not look we'll in glass.
Our advice to those beekeepers who
wish to try the home market is this
Put up your honey partly i'll the sc
pound cans and partly III barrels, and
FL it into tin cans of different sizes az
occasion requires. To those who wish
to handle the honey but once and sell il
in lump on the large markets, we will
give the advice of putting it all up III

News and Notes.

Cranberies are again reported a short
crop, though not as short as last year.
Reports from the principal onion grow.
ing districts in the country indicate
that the crop is at least 20 per cent
larger than that of last year.
In most of the canning districts the
tomato crop was only about half the
acreage of last year and the yield only
about half as heavy. But the amount OF
stock carried over was very heavy.
The pack of canned peaches is report
ed light owing to the high prices o.
fresh fruit
The corn crop is doubtless the largest
ever grown in view Of extent of area.
The wheat product of the United
States will, it is believed, not be fal
from $50, 600, CO bushels.
1t is estimated by Ezra Neeker, the
leading grower and shipper of hops il
the state of Washington. that the croI
will not be more than half that of for
mer years.
The assistant statistician of the de-
partment Of agriculture says that the
year 1895 is noted for "a restricted area
and widespread failure of cotton ant

creased extent of corn and potatoes. "

Making Cider Vinegar.

There is always good demand for
vinegar, and none is better than that
made from cider out of rich, sweet ap-
pies. The earlier it is made the more
rapid viii be the fermentation and the
quicker will come the change from al
cohol acidity. This souring is much has
tened by frequent exposure to the air,
turning the cider once day from one
vessel to another. This exposes it to the
air and if it is done for few weeks
the vinegar will be as sour as by letting
it lie in the barrel for as many months.
The early apples are often deficient in
sweetness. An addition Of sugar to the
cider greatly increases the alcohol ard
also the acid in it when that stage is
reached. American Cultivator.

1t is this: No living representative Of

or limb. The horse is the type of one

The dress of any period is always a
