THE CARE OF HONEY.
Do Not Store 1t in the Cellar or An
Other Damp Place.

Do Not Store 1t in the Cellar or Any
other Damp Place.
Now that you have got some honey
from the bees, look out tina. it isn't
spoiled by improper care. By some
perversity of human nature, the uni
versal practice of the inexperienced
seems to be to put honey for safe keep
ing in the cellar. Hard to find worse
place. In a cool, damp place honey is
sure to collect moisture and become
thin. The next thing after becoming
thin is for comb honey to ooze through
the cappings and have watcry lo ok,
and this can never be remedicd after
ward. If the honey is extracted, and
the matter has not gone too far, t5e
honey can be brought back to good
condition by being put in the right Kind
of place. If continued long enough
in the cool, damp place, the next step
is for the honey to become vinegar.
Honey vinegar is the very best, but
that's another story, and just now were
trying to keep from it.
The best place for honey is in a warm,
airy place. Warm anyhow, for the airy
will generally take care of itself. Dry
and airy is what is wanted, and when
you get warm place its pretty sure
to be dry. good place is right up
against the roof in the garnet. where it
is SO hot you can hardly stand il. Honey
has kept in a garden right through
two or three years in perfect condi-
ton in comb, which would have bcs n.
candied if kept in almost any other
place. No matter if the garre. is quite
close, the intense heat seems to make
up for it.
Put your extracted honey in a hot
garnet, and even if it is little thin it
will thicken up all right. Let it be il

REMARKS ON STOCK.

Ring the bull before he is a year cid
if you would have him handled easy.
The stable should be kept sweet.
Sprinkle it all over with one pound of
chloride of lime in five gallons of water.
The mule is good deal better animal
than is usually rcckoned, and its breed
ing has paid well in the past. For farm
work the mule is excellent.
The man who will turn his cows out
so that they will break into the pas
ture of a ne1ghbor who owns thorough
bred bulls is more economical than hon.
orable.
That the hog is looking up was shown
at combination sale recently at
Springfield, Ill. One Poland-China sow
sold for SI.31O, and another for $3.50.
Eighty-five animals were sold at an
average of SIP.
The strictest care should be exer-
cised in selecting the brood sow. Care
lessness may be. exceedingly expensive.
If you have bred from defective SOW,
do not use any of her offspring for
breeders
The clearer you keep the eyes and
head of your horse the less the animal
will be troubled with flies about the
head Flies are attracted by dirt The
horses head, eyes and nostrils should
be washed off every morning in f1ytime.

a curved balustrade. 1t is about four
feet in height and only three in diane

being hinged, forms the entrance door

THE FARMING WORLD.
WORTH THINKING ABOUT.


There should Be Farming as Wen as
Commercial Firms.
The business of farming, when we
stop to think of it, is seen to be carried
on almost exclusively by individuals
To recognize this fact is sufficient to
induce more thinking-a good deal
more Here is a condition novel and
peculiar. In all other important lines
Of business men combine together. But
the firm of Farmer & Co., is hardly ever
heard of. Why should there not be
farming firms as well as firms of manu-
facturers, brokers' lawyers or mer-
chants? Farmers are modest and take
back seats, although theirs is the oldest
and greatest industry. the most inn
portant business of all. How much
they might do that now falls short of
accomplishment, if they would join
hands more and shun each other less.
A farmer owns a large farm. but has
hardly any working capital. His next
neighbor has very little land, but plen-
ty of money. There is chance for
partnership by which both may profit.
a farmer has good farm and knows
well by experience how to manage it,
but is unable to do the hard work. He
knows a man who has no practical
knowledge of farming, but he has
health and strength, is anxious to learn
and willing to labor. These two men
should be able to come to an agreement
to run the farm together. a farmer has
more land than he can take care of. His
boy, having reached his majority, is
about TO leave-he doesn't know when
Or for what. Why doesn't the father
take the boy into partnership and keep
him at home? A farmer is growing old
end cannot carry on his farm himself
Hiring help is unsatisfactory. He will
sell OF rent the old farm, and he and
his wife. with sorrowfu1 hearts, will
fairly retreat into city. Better take as
partner on the farm an honest man
with youth and strength. Then he and
his wife might spend their declining
years where they could take comfort.
Aside from farming on shares. 1t Is
remarkable fact that scarcely anything
like partnership exists in general farm
ing. In land where many are always
unemployed, this ought not to be, for
labor is great factor in farming. In
the farm firm, not only land. stock. MAJ
ehinery and money, but honesty, youth,
health, strength and enthusiasm count

owner hopes that it will be long before
they suffer that fate, for the ram should
have many years of activity before him.
1t is not easy to decide which of the
many species of domestic animals is
the most valuable to man, but it is not
difficult to make out good case for the
sheep We have many substitutes for
the flesh of the OK, but the wool of the
sheep seems almost Indispensable. The
world would be very uncomfortable if
it had to go in cotton, and that is the
only other clothing material which the
majority of men can afford.
We should therefore gaze with deep
respect upon this magnificent ram and
the abundant coat which envelops
him. Shorn of this once year he will
supply hundreds of human beings with
warm and comfortable clothing. From
his wool will be woven the coats which
cover the backs of statesmen, of dam
dies and horny handed sons of toll, and
also the more intimate garments which
lie next to the skin and preserve them
from the deadly cold. He will also have
a part in furnishing boomers to the
new woman.
Not only will he personally yield all
this wool, but he has already founded
a large family of sheep who will COM
pete with him in usefulness. = n. Y.

many, but drive them so thick and close

you cannot touch the wheel with your

heavy iron tire, to preserve an even

To use it, start the wheel with the

Then take a sunfower head in each
hand and hold them against the pro-

other This will depend upon practice.

of her Death.
A gentleman took house in Ireland
for six months and was accomnanied
thither by his wife and daughters
The house was furnished and had
plenty of bedrooms. Therefore it was
decided not TO use a certain large, long
room with cupboards along one side
(which had all been locked and sealed
up with tape in which things belong
ing to the owners of the house had
been put away. One evening one of
the daughters, going to her room, saw
an old lady wrapped in a shawl walk
ing along the passage in front of her.
The old lady appeared to know her
way and hurried on without hesitation
into the unused room The girl called
her sister and they followed the dame
into the room. But all was silent; no
one was there; the dust lying about
showed no signs of footprints.
Shortly after the same young lady
was reading on the hearthrug by fire
light. Looking up she beheld the old
lady standing in the doorway watch
ing her. Greatly frightened, she
sprang up and, rushing down stairs,
was found fainting at the drawing
room door. At last the family re-
turned to Dublin One day when a
friend was calling the curious

Duck. in the southern states.

s. The south is the land for ducks. In
Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississip-
pi, Alabama, Tennessee and several
other southern states, there are hun
dreds of lakes, rivers, creeks and bay
Gus that are natural harbors for ducks.
In many of the states named the wild
ducks gather and forage and in the
late fall and winter season, affording
fine sport for the huntsman. In the
more thiclz1y settled and cultivated
sections of the south the streams and
lakes still exist, but the wild ducks
have forsaken them because of the too
frequent appearance of man and the
fixtures and appliances of modern life.

1t seems strange that at this late day
the United States should have deter
mined that the proper location for
the defense of New Orleans and the
Mississippi valley is just where Bien-
vile suggested 200 years ago. The
United States, and afterwards the con.
federate states, spent large sums of
money on Forts Jackson and ST. Philip,
nearly a hundred miles below New
Orleans, and near the mouths of the
Mississippi. These were 1.-THE forts,

fleet to take possession of the Missis-

not then built New Orleans, saw in

against an invading enemy. Mai
