Marketing Honey.

Grade the honey in as many differ
cnt classes as you have honey. Class
ify everything. Don't put second
or third grade honey, be it ever so
little, in o frst-class lot, thinking you
will get tirst-class price for it. The
consequences are you will get third
class price for your frst-class honey
when you do it.
Parties that handle honey by the
quantity, from all parts Of the coun-
try, are better judges Of honey than
you are, as this does not require them
to be students of apiacultrre.
Never use secondhand packages;
many have been brought to grief by
doing this.
Have your comb honey stored in
The best white polished sections,
cleaned thoroughly, and packed in
the best shipping cases. Put your
name and address on every package
sent out as producer Of said honey.
Also give the source from which it
was gathered. One or more varieties
Gs the case may be.
Perhaps the best shipping package
for extracted honeyis the sixty pound
square tin can with three inch screw
cap. These cans are furnished by the
manufacturers in pairs, will. wooden
cases, two cans in box, and usually
sold at seventy-ive cents per pair.
Last, but not least, do not consign
your honey to strangers that you
know nothing about. Quito few
bogus honey commission firms bob up
every year and somebody gets in the
trap. p.-Farm, Field and Fireside.

EEypt's Population.

How many Inhabitants the Egypt of
the Pharaohs had is problematic, but
it is doubtful if it had more than did
the Egypt of the Ptolemys, and that
was not more than eight millions. A
couple Of centuries ago, under the
Mamelukes, the number had fallen to
three millions. Under Mehemet Ali
and his successors there was some i'm
provement, and the census roll of 1875
was increased to six millions, atwhich
figure, or little less, it stood in 1882.
Now, after scarcely sixteen years Of
British rule, the population is about
ten millions. That means an increase
of sixty-six per cent. in sixteen years,
or more than four per cent. year. 1t
means that Egypt to-day, Egypt
proper, not counting the vast realms
OF Equatoria aud the Bahrel- -Ghazel,
is more popuIous than ever before in
all its history. That in itself is sin
gularly impressive and significant fact.

A Use for Liuuefed Air.

1t is reported that a new use has
been found for liquefied air, the posi-
bilities CT which have been matters Of
discussion among scientific men for
some time. According to the Mining
Reporter, discovery was made recent
ly by which it is now practical to use
liquefied air in underground work, such
as mining, driving tunnels and sinking
shafts. 1t is said that under proper
conditions the liberation Of air from
the liquid can be effective in generat-
Ing power with which to run drills un-
der ground, pumps, hoists, ETC., while
cool air can also be supplied in the
deepest mines. The liquid air can al
so be used in freezing soft ground,
making tunnel cutting less hazardous
and tedious. If there is any RELIABLE
ity in this reported discovery, and its
success can be practically demonstrat-
ed, 1t will make a new departure in tho
lines of work named, and once again
make the genius of science the soul of
industrial progress.

Improving Pastures.

If there is any one part of the farm
that is neglected it is the pasture
fields. While there may be some lit
tie excuse for this on large grain
farms, it can be hardly overlooked on
q dairy farm, where grass and green
pasture are the chief dependencies for
success. The improvement OF pasture
fields is crying need on many old
places. AS a rule, the toughest and
most sterile fields are given over to
pastures, and it is not giving COW q
fair show to make her pick up living
on land that would not produco any
thing else. This is often the case,
however, and then We blame the COW
for not giving moro milk. Half the
fault against our dairy cows can be
traced to Improper feeding. Because
a COW he's large field or meadow to
Craze in it does not follow that she
ought to give large flow of milk. A
much smaller piece Of laud would pro-
duce much better results il the pas
ture was rich and we'll cared for.
1t is oil right to gives the cows for
pasture the toughest and rocliieGt part
of the farm, for naturally one does not
select that portion fer plowing under
crops. But it is the part OF wisdom
to bestow little care upon such fields,
to improve them each year. a few
days labor devoted to tho pasture
fields every season will surprise the
owner in the results five years later.
First, there are rocks and stones that
can be gradually carried off the field
and piled up. Clearing the pasture field
in this leisurely way will yield lis re-
ward some day when it is found de-
sirable to cultivate the meadows or
hillside for orchard or field crops.
Along with this work should go that
OF clearing the land of wild berry
bushes, brush, roots aad weeds. The
roots once taken up will kill the
bushes and trees for good, and so with
the weeds. See that they are rooted
up, and not simply cut off Noxious
weeds prevent grass plants from grow
ing, and generally they harbor para
sites end rusts of grain, which may
spread to the cultivated fields any day
and do great amount of damage
This work of clearing the pastures Of
foreign growths is important at this
season oil the year, when weeds are
about to produce their seeds. One
plant destroyed, root and branch, now
may prevent the growth OF fifty next
summer. So it is wise to begin at
once, for every year that the work is

Hard to Beat the Newsboys.

Necessity is the mother of inven-
ton" is an old adage which, perhaps,
was never better eXemplifed than in
Paris after the order had been given
by the Compagnie General des Omni-
bus to stop newsboys from entering
its vehicles. II was easy enough to
sell papers i the streets OF even
through the windows OF car or bus,
but how was it now possible to reach
customers perched ON the 'imperi-
ales," the seats provided ON the
roofs Of the street cars and omnibuses
in Paris?
The problem was soon solved, for
one fine day man selling papers ap-
pearAd near the Madeline with Pc
culiar apparatus. He had stick
seven or eight feet long, with wire
clamps fastened to it's sides and pa
pers stuck in them. On the top there
was q small metal cup with hole in
the bottom. The hole was q very i'm
pcrtaut part of the apparatus, for it
reached ell the way down through the
stick, and through it came the copper
coins of one or two sous, according to
the price of the paper selected by the
patron. This was at last q convenient
way to reach the roof of car, and
Father Barbette was soon initiated by
number Of other newsboys, who
built apparatus just as ingenious as

of his own in dealing with the Cuban
peasants. Ho interviewed the in.
surgents to ascertain what they

everything-food, clothing, arms and
ammunition-and he was sent ashore
t. distribute the relief. He found
the Cubans willing and eager to assist
him in getting the rations to their
camps, but he could not induce them
to do anything more. AS long as they
had plenty to eat they did not show
any further interest in the clothing or
the military supplies, and would not
oven aid him in landing them and
carrying them to their camps. His
own sailors were compelled to unload
the boats, and when the boxes were
placed on the beach the insurgents
did not have sufficient energy or in
terest to open them, but left them ex-

The Asiatic orlgl. of the American Race

The Asiatic OrigiD of the American Race.
There are TWO propositions involved
in the controversy as to the Asiatic
origin of the American race; the one
is that America was peopled from
Asia by invasions or migrations in
pre-savage OF pre-glacial times; the
other is that the peculiar civilization
of Central America was induced by
Buddhist monks, who travelled from
Asia to Mexico and Central America
in the fifth century Of our era. Those
who sustain the first thesis are with
out exception men trained in the
science of anthropology; those who
sustain the second thesis are with q
few conspicuous exceptions travellers,
geographers, sinologues, missionaries
and the like.
If Asia should ever prove TO be the
cradle Of the human race, or Of any
portion of it which had advanced we'll
beyond the creature known as Pithe-
canthropus erectus Ia species of the
man-like ape known to science, which
is the form of animal life approaching
nearest to man in its physical con-
struction) then unquestionably an
Asian people may be accounted the
progenitors of the American Indians.
Any effort, however to establish an
identity at this stage would probably
take us far beyond the origin of
speech or the ability to fabricate an
implement. nt.-Professo L. S. Morse,

Coal Ashes For Potatoes.

We have heard OF some farmers
who applied small handful of coal
ashes in the hill before planting their
seed potatoes, taking care to let the
seed come in contact with the ashes.
Their potatoes thus treated were free
from rot and scab, while others in the
neighborhood were very badly affected
by disease The farmer who tried
this is enthusiastic over his success,
and proposes to apply coal ashes in
the hill to as many potatoes as he can
secure the ashes for. Bu5' zone expert
ment, even though so satisfactory as
this, is not conclusive. There may
have been difference in time Of
planting or of soil which would have
saved these potatoes from rotting any
way. 1t would have been more salts
factory if group of four or eight
hills were ashed, and some adjoining
them were at tho same time planted
without the ashes.
AS we have often explained, there
is very little if any manurial value in
coal ashes. So far as increasing the
potato crop is concerned coal ashes
are useless. But the very fact that
the coal ashes have no manurial value
may be an advantage in growing pota-
toes free from rot. In contact with
this material, free from manures, if
there were germs on the seed potato
that might extend and cause rot they
would be isolated, and thus the new
hn f,,n
farmers know that to put stable man.
uro in contact with tho potato would
either make the soil around the seed
too dry, or in rainy season it would
furnish the best breeding place for
the rot fungus. In fnct, stable man
ure plowed under the samo season is
not now considered C safe practice
among farmers who are experienced
in growing potatoes. It is much bet
ter to manure the ground year or
two before, and so give the manure
time to ferment and disappear, leav-
ing only its condensed heterogeneous
and mineral fertility III the soil.
In one way we think that in wev
season, Gs it was while the potato crop
was growing this past summer, the
coal ashes may prove benefit. They
help to dry out the hill. So too will
superphosphate of lime, especially
that made with little excess OF
sulphuric acid, as most of it is. We
have known farmers to use q very
little phosphate in the hill with
potato seed, but in this case taking
care not to have it come in contact
with the cut surface, which it would
soon cat into and destroy. Potatoes
thus treated were free from rot, while
those beside them not phosphated in
the hill were hals rotten. In this
case we attributed the good effect to
the drying of the soil in the hill. We
can imagine that coal ashes being
inert themselves must have operated
to make tho soil more dry inside the
hill during the very wet weather early
in the season. Even when the dry
weather came this dryness in the
centre of the hill where the potatoes
form is an advantage, for most OF tho
potato roots that supply moisture have
by this time extended to the middle
of the rows.-American Cultivator.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suffer"
and young women are so taught.
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
that she gets it.

daughters to physician for examina-
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinlkham's address is
