EXTRACTED HONEY.
A Pennsylvania Beekeeper Tells How
to Prepare Il Really Pure
and Wholesome Article.

Comb honey is all ornament and gen
orally luxury. Extracted honey is
plain food and can be enjoyed by the
masses. 1t can be produced more
cheaply andin larger quantity than that
in the comb. If it is intelligently pro-
duced and properly handled it is pref
cradle to comb honey simply as food
or table sauce, though not ornamental.
There is so much adulterated glucose
mixture on the market sold as extracted
honey that the producer of good ar
tlcle cannot compete with it in price.
Under the circumstances many of our
producers of extracted honey took a
short cut and extracted green" honey
and ripened it artificially which pro-
duces very inferior article. This poor
honey and the adulterated mixtures
have so demoralized the general mar
ket for extracted honey that if we wish
to profitably produce fine favored, we'll
ripened extracted honey, we must make
a local trade for it.
For some years l produced limited
quantity of extra fine extracted honey
and sold it to local customers, and
many prefer it to comb honey. Bees
gather nectar, but they make it into
honey. If we extract it before the bees
have ripened it, that is, made it into
honey, it will be but little better than
the glucose mixtures now so general
on our market. What the bees do to the
nectar I cannot fully explain, but do
know that to have fine extracted honey
with that ambrosial aroma that dis
tinguishes it from all other sweets, we
must allow the bees 20 ripen it fully in
the hives before extracting.
My plan is to have plenty of comb
and extracting supers and when one is
filled l raise it up and put an empty one
under 1t and repeat as often as is neces-
sary. In this way my honey is fully
ripened on the hive and the bees always
have plenty Of room 20 store and rarely
swarm. BY careful management not
more than one-third to one-half is
capped and that saves considerable I'M
work for the bees. When the honey
flow is over | allow the last to ripen and
then extract. 1t is hard work to throw
out such heavy honey, but was always
paid for it thus far. While ordinary
honey is selling for six to seven cents.
L could sell mine for ten to twelve cent,
and often did not have enough to meet
the demand.-L. W. Lightly, in Amer

NOT A PERFECT FOOD.
SunhOwcr Seed Is Not as Good m EGG
Producer as Some Would Have
Us Believe.

A few, who seem to be interested for
some reason in booming sunflower seed
as poultry feed, are persistently claim
ing everything for it as an egg pro-
Queer. Our own experience with it is
that it is not good feed for this pur-
pose, and analysis of it shows that it
is essentially a fattening food and not
such a one as would promote the pro-
duction of eggs if fed in large quanti-
ties.
That sunfower seed is excellent in
moderate quantities no one well posted
will deny. 1t is one of the best feeds
that can be given poultry of any kind
III the fall when the fowls are moulting,
and as it happens to ripen about that
time it comes at season when it is
most useful.
At other times in the year an oc-
casional feed of sunfiower seed answers
in the place of oil meal and similar
feeds, and makes a variety which lay
ing hens like. These seeds may be pro-
duced so cheaply that every poultry
keeper should raise a supply for his
own use, as they do we'll in odd cor
ners, and grow under very little encour-
agement.
From a window through which can
look as | write this, l can see acres that
are overgrown every summer with wild
sunflowers, and the seeds from these
are devoured by poultry and pigeons in
large quantities in the fall These
seeds are much smaller than those of
the cultivated varieties of sunfowers
and for that reason better feed, but the
larger kinds are better to grow or
cultivated land, as the yield is much
greater.
We believe in the value of sunfower
seed for poultry, but the man who
makes them large part of the feed
If his poultry will find that he has made
= mistake in trying to stimulate egg
production by that process.-Farmers

With the spade, clear away the soil
around the collar of the vine, two or
three inches below the surface. Saw
off the vine horizontally about one
inch below the surface. With the knife,
or the board chisel, if sharp, pare away
the rough surface left by the saw; then
witt the broad chisel, hit with the NAL
let. split the stock in the center, and
where it will split down the straightest,
until the chisel has entered an inch or
whereabouts. With the knife, cut the
lower end of the cutting to uniform

of the cleft when opened with the
chisel, leaving a bud at the base of the
wedge, and that side of the wedge
slightly thicker than the other. Insert

Reginald Ashcroft was the son of rich but
refined parents, and yet he was not happy.
Ihere was panied expression upon his
handsome countenance, and ever and anon
he walked to the window and looked out
over the beautiful prospect that stretched
away toward Wilton manor.
AT last he mounted his favorite cob, which
aad for two hours been hitched in front of
the stately old mansion, and dashed down
the broad highway.
Upon reaching Wilton manor the young
man dismounted and rushed in.

There is no better known local character

On the occasion | refer to the wind burner
was nearing my destination when it came ia
dead standstill | stuck my head out of the
window to learn the cause Of the stop, and
saw the conductor talking to an old woman
with bonnet and shawl and Sunday toggery
on and a small basket in hand.
Being curious to know the import of the
dialogue between the two, | went forward
and learned that the woman had tagged the
train for the purpose of getting on board
and going on to town to sell dozen eggs
She told the conductor, however, that she
had only IL in the basket at that moment
but that an old blue hen of hers, then on
the nest, was momentarily expected to lay
the egg necessary to complete the dozen;
that it would be great accommodation il
he would hold his train until this should
occur, as it would be pity to proceed to
sss-.fRet with fewer than dozen eggs. The
conductor consented, and then our wait be-
gan.
FINALLY, after the lapse of about 20 min.
utes, furious cackling was heard near the
woman's shanty. A moment later blue
hen futtered into view, followed by the old
lady, who came running toward the cars
smiling and holding aloft in triumph the
coveted egg. She placed it, while it was
yet warm, in the basket with the others,
thanked the conductor and clambered
aboard. Then the train again got under
way."-Louisvile Post.

TIMELY FARM NOTES.

The earlier in life that weed is killed
the better. They rob the soil of mois-
ture and plant food.
good yield and quality usually paws
good profit over the cost of produce
ton even with low prices.
Good drainage and thorough cultiva-
ton will counteract both the effects
of drought and excessive rainfall
In sowing sweet corn, field corn or
any of the sorghums as a forage crop,
he better plan is to sow in drills.
Late seeding often lacks moisture,
starts slow, becomes a prey to insects,
and consequently is Improbable.
There are few things with crop that
pay better than thorough preparation
of the soil before planting the crop.
Bury old bones around the fruit
trees and you will be able to get all OF
the good of them with very little labor.
The farmer cannot make his farm a
success without keeping accounts; he
must know what pays and what does
not.
In nearly all cases with the spring
crops the early planting should be shall
low and the later planting deeper in or
der to secure the best termination.
One advantage with clover is that we
may take off the crop and leave the
land richer than before, as the roots
restore more than the tops take away.
Growing a variety OF. crops in intelli-
gent rotation, divides the labor of the
year, gives regular employment and
reduces the number of teams necessary
to be kept.-Farmers' Review.

When Hens Are dreamy.

When a hen is droopy, it does not
mean that she must be treated with
some remedy. Like human individuals,
fowls are affected by the weather, a
northeast storm sometimes causing
them to be less active than at other
times. Again, when fowls have been
fed very heavily on grain they will be-
come dull and droopy, in which case it
is only necessary to withhold all food
for few days. A bird may receive an
