The Dietetic Value of Honey.

Probably most people consider honey
as the equal in value for food of any
sweet sauce-no better, no worse. All
should know that it Possesses one great
uperiority-ease Of digestion. The nee
tar of flowers is almost wholly cane su-
gar. The secretions added by the bees
change this to grape sugar, and so pre-
pare it that it is almost ready fer as
simiiation without any effort on the
part of the stomach; in fact, Professor
A. J. Cook once styled honey "digested
nectar" 1t will be readily seen that
honey is very desirable food for those
with weakened digestive powers If a
person is very tired, too exhausted to
eat, it is astonishing how a few tastes
Of honey will act almost like magic
Almost no effort is required to make it
ready for assimilation. Persons suffer-
ing from some forms of kidney trouble
will find that honey is a much more
beneficial food for them than is cane
sugar.
In eating comb honey, many strive to
reject every particle of wax, fearing
that, as wax is indigestible, nightmare
and other troublesome consequences
will follow an indulgence in warm bis
cult and honey. 1t is true that bread
is more easily disgested than warm bis
cult, as the latter is inclined to pack
in chewing, but it may surprise some
to know that comb honey is really an
aid to the digestion of hot bread or bis
cult. The philosophy of the matter is
that the flakes Of wax prevent the
packing" while the honey readily dis
solves out, leaving passages for the
gastric juice to enter the mass of food
The flakes of wax are indigestible that
is true, but when warmed are perfectly
smooth and soft, and will not injure the
most delicate membrane; in fact, they
act as a gentle s,timuiant, and are bene-
ficial in some forms of alimentary diff
cultles. The unpleasant sylnpt oms
from which some suffer after eating
honey may often be removed by drink
ing a little milk.-Albany Cultivator.

HOW TO TREAT PIANOS.
Half the Instruments in This COun-
try Catch Winter Colds.

Half the pianos in this country catch
winter colds exactly as we do. They get
hoarse, or have a cough, or a stiff note,
or some similar complaint which cannot
be cured by home remedies, but require
tedious and expensive doctoring. In
order to prevent these avoidable all
1nents it is as well to know how to take
care of the piano. Each spring cleaning
housewife who is having the domestic
piano "pua to rights during her up
heaval of the household should very
carefully observe the following, says the
New York Mercury:
A piano should be kept in a moderate
ly warm room where the temperature is
even, say 60 or 70 degrees, the year
round, not cold one day and hot the
next The instrument should not, how
ever, be too near the source of heat. 1t
should be kept closed and covered with
felt cloth when not in use, particu-
larly in frosty weather.
Always place the piano against an
inside wall and little out from It,
When tuning or repairing Is necessary
employ a responsible and expert work
man. Do not allow children to drum
on it. A professional musician may ex-
pend like amount Of strength upon the
keyboard, but If the right keys are
struck much less harm is done than
when children amuse themselves. Avoid
littering the top with bric-a- -brac, as it
affects the tone of the instrument.
A well-known maker recommends
that the case be frequently wiped off
with a chamois skin wrung out in tepid
water Where the case is very highly
polished and dark this is absolutely
necessary, and little else will serve to
remove the dust which settles in the
fretwork.
To remove finger marks and blue
riold mix thoroughly two tablespoon
tuls of salad oil and one tablespoonful
OF vinegar. Rub on a little Of this mix
ture with soft rag and polish with a
WOolen cloth.

SHEPHERD DOGS.
Impossible to Raise Sheep in Scot
land Without Them.

In an Iowa convention, Mr.. CoWnle
spoke as follows on shepherd dogs:
1T would be utterly impossible to
raise sheep in Scotland without dogs.
One dog there is worth fifty men in TAX
ing care of sheep 1t would be absolutely
impossible to take sheep away UP in
| the mountains and tramp them for fifty
miles as they do without two or three
dogs. A shepherd there will take care
of 1000 sheep. He will go at the head
whole day. walking along, and he will
have a dog behind them, and perhaps
one at each side, and they will keep
their places, and when the sheep comes
home at night they are yarded down at
the foot of the mountain or in some val
ley AS they go into the yard the Shep-
herd counts them, and 1t is surprising
how fast a man when he has experience
will do that He will count those sheep
going into the gateway, and count them
ten, twenty, forty sixty. Many a time
there will be two or three sheep missing,
and the dog is told to go and get those
sheep and he has to go. 1t may be sun
rise next morning, but he doesn't come
back until he brings the sheep with him
But it is entirely different here. The
sheep are kept in fields and there is
probably not the necessity for dogs that
there is there. There it would be an i'm
possibility without dogs.

freeze, because the people who formerly
depended on their groves did not find it
necessary to till the soil other than to
secure the golden fruit for which this
state had such a renown, writes Tampa
correspondent of the Citizen. The real
fertility of the soil has never had an
opportunity to assert itself, for no one
cared to invite it from it's dormant condi-
tion, but were content to worry along with
few prolific bearing orange trees, shun-
ming the harder task Of careful cultiva-
| ton of their lands for the purposes of
general crops. But now the conditions
one time lived in luxurious ease on the
income derived from their orange groves
are forced to meet the harder side of
life, and have had to turn their energies
toward general crops, while they await
the second growing Of their groves,
which in this section are coming on very
nicely, and promise to be in good shape
again and in full bearing in two years
more
Capt. J. B. Robinson, of Plant City
was one of the unfortunate growers who
had his groves cut down to the ground
in night, and with 1t he saw that there
was no prospect Of an income from that
source for several years to come. Since
that time he has devoted his efforts

prlsed some of his neighbors with his
success. He is we'll pleased with the
results, and he thinks the freeze will
have great bearing upon the future
farming in this state.
Last season he tried his hand at straw
berries. Before he went into it he made
proposition that he would raise the
banner crop, and his neighbors laughed
at him. His crop Of berries was put in
and they received the very best atten
tion with the result that for every days
work applied to the patch he was amply
rewarded. Beside raising a plentiful
crop, which paid him we'll, he had the
satisfaction of producing better berries
than the neighbors who had laughed at
him, for by actual count it took just
twenty six of them to fill quart basket.
In the latter part of April he turned
his attention to rice, and planted two
acres of highland rice in one of his
groves that had been almost killed to
the ground. This rice has just been cut
and is now ready to be sent to Lakeland,
where it will be hulled. 1t is safely
estimated that he will get about 200
bushels from the two acres. Before
cutting the rice stood more than five
feet high. The heads measured thirteen
! inches and were full of seed.
This is not all that makes this patch
worthy of note, but when one considers
that not particle of fertilizer was used
on it, not horse or plow was used in
the patch after the day of it's sowing,
not hoe was welded, it makes the
abundant crop a wonder. Capt Robin
son went through it at one time with
hand pillow, but that was all. Up to the
day of cutting he had put in just eleven
days work on the two acres, which will
produce him 200 bushels Of rice without
any bad effect on his grove, which is
coming on beautifully.

growing plants, herding in colonies upon
their rootlets, and securing in their vital
activity an oxidation of the free nitro
gen of the atmosphere. The third class
of organisms and the one least known,
appears to have the ability, in an indie
pendant form of life and without the aid
of plant vitality, to secure the oxidation
of atmospheric nitrogen. The first of
the classes mentioned above is itself sep
arated into three divisions comprising
the organisms which produce ammonia,
nitrous and nitric acids, respectively.
3. Many crops, such as the cereals,
have no ability in themselves to increase
the stores Of nitrogen in the soil. Such
crops may be grown for many years on
the same field, In which case the nitro
genous supply of the field will at first be
rapidly diminished, with correspond
ing decrease in the crop itself. Finally
time will come when a certain mini
mum crop will be produced apparently
for an indefinite time, varying only un-
der seasonal influences.
4. Other vegetables, especially legum-
inous plants, favor the development of
the organisms which are capable of OK.
idizing free nitrogen and thereby tend
to increase the supply of available nitro
genous matter. These crops, however,
together with certain root crops, cannot
be grown successfully without rotation,
and all crops are benefited by Judi
cious succession.
5. The summer following Of land is
very injudicious, and especially if the
field be left bare through the winter.
The nitrates which are formed by the
activity of the nitrifying organisms in
such cases are easily washed out by
heavy rains and lost to agricultural uses
perhaps for thousands of years.
6. Late autumnal blowing, after the
activity of the nitrifying organisms has
practically ceased, may prove beneficial,
especially to some crops, by exposing
the soil to the decomposing effects of
the frosts of winter.
7. In past geological ages vast quanti-
ties of heterogeneous matters have been
oxidized and stored, in the form of nj
trates. and these stores are now avail
able for the uses of agriculture.
Nitric acid, in the form of nitrates,
should be employed only as temporary
fertilizer in order to improve the.fertility
of the soil to such an extent as to make
profitable the growing leguminous crops.
The continued use Of nitrates for fertil-
izlng purposes deprives the nitrifying
organisms of their functional activity.
and hence tends to diminish the num-
bers and enfeeble the work. Nitrates
should only be used in small quantities
at time, sufficient to meet the immedi-
ate demands of the crop. 1t is better to
apply the dressing of nitrates at two or
three different times during the growth
of the crop, rather than TO use it all at
once.
8. The use of sewage for fertilizing
purposes is not to be commended, be-
cause of the danger of communicating
the soil with pathogenic ferments,
which may subsequently infect the
health of man and beast. These fer
wants MAY attach themselves to vege-
