Hints About marketing Honey.

There are few points well worth
knowing in the marketing OF honey.
The first thing necessary is to see that
the honey is carefully assorted. Then
it should be thoroughly cleaned and
put into neat, white crates. Another
very important thing is, the crates
should be the same thing all through;
that is, the honey should be just what
it appears to be on the face of it. There
is great deal of talk nowadays about
low prices and slow sales, but the man
who has an honest, clean, first-class
article of any kind need not go beg
cling for customers, even in these hard
times.-Farm and Home.
Much is written about warming
water for cows. Seldom is anything
said about not giving horses water that
is too cold. 1t should never be too Geld,
