The word from the rural precincts is
that honey will be scarce and high next
season. The old fashioned winter whip
ped out the bees. A Titusville paper
says one farmer near that place lost all
but three out of 40 hives, and another
lost all of his fifteen hives. However,
honey will be on sale at the usual time,
for what working bees are left will be al
lowed plenty OF glucose TO work on. It's
the same with honey as with maple syr-
up. AS long as glucose, common mo-
lasses, brown sugar, bark extracts and a
little maple sap hold out a few sugar
camps in Ohio and other States can stock
the United States with maple syrup at

bulls were burned to death in fire that
destroyed the fine stock barn on the farm
ofex-Senator w. II. Andrews, in Cherry
tree township, mile north of Titusville,
early last Sunday morning. Tho build
ing was valued at $500, and the total
loss will reach fully $1,000. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but it is feared
that it was started by a drunken man or
tramp who PEI ished in the flames with
the cattle, although this so far is only
theory. When discovered the flames had
gained such headway it was impossible to
save any of the took or contents of the
barn. This is the second barn Mr.. An
drews has lost by fire in six years. The
other had its origin in bolt of lightning.
