just the place for the lambs, especially
during early lambhood. At this time
they require warm. even temperature

of better place for these features than
in a well arranged and lighted base

raising winter or early spring lambs, it

CRATE FOR SHIPPING HONEY.

side, while the boards of the other two
sides are nailed on the inside of the
frame, forming two panels which make
a convenient haud-hold by which to
pick it up. 1t is impossible TO pick the
case up by any OF the other sides, and
this keeps the crate in such position
that the section always stands on edge.
This crate is designed to hold two
cases of sections, about 50 or 60 pounds
of honey, but may be made of any de
sired size Ii is little larger inside
than the outside of the cases, and the
space between may be packed with ex-
celsior or other suitable material to
help relieve the jar, When loaded in a
car, the crates should be set down so
that the sections are parallel with the
sides of the car, as they are less liable
to damage in transit. After all, the
best market for honey is the homemar
ket.
