MARKETING HONEY.
The Beekeeper Who Puts His Goods
Cd in Attractive Shape Rarely
Fails to Sell Them.

The form in which an article Is
placed upon the market is half OF the
sale of it. The consumers eye is more
particular tnan a few years ago and
the times when honey was sold from
the supers or the large glass boxes are
a thing of the past. Nowadays, honey
must be neat, clean and attractive to
place in the hands of the consumer.
but he pays for it over and over in
gross price.
First, put it up In neat cases of six,
eight or ten pounds. This will be about
right for the family trade If sold to
grocers, then in Is or so pound crates;
but a better price will result if sold
direct to the consumer. think any
farmer is duty bound to himself to be
his own salesman as far as possible.
Give good weight and good goods and
your produce will always command .
higher price than If sold through the
commission man. Through the gen
eral market find out what kind of q
crop there will be and what price is to
be had. 1t pays any farmer to be
posted on the markets and this paper
will be found always reliable. Then at
the approach of cold weather, sell. Do
not be ashamed to put your name on
your honey and if it is not up to good
quality do not sell 1t. Pack your
crates neatly, without putting the most
snowy in front, Keep all damned and
leaky cakes out. as they make bad
mess and spoil the sales of good cakes.
Keep your clover, Eastwood and buck
wheat honey separate, as each kind
will have its favorites, some preferring
one, some the other. Sell by the cake
and not by weight: this will be found
much more convenient.
Sometimes we wish to keep comb
honey for better market; also to
have supply the year around. To do
this it must not be subject to dampness
and must be kept where there is free
circulation of air, but free from bees
and flies. 1t should not be frozen.
Darkness is preferable to too much
light Keep in crate il possible.
Much dampness soon spells it and
makes it sour-G. H. Townsend, in

Tells How He Escaped the Terrors of Many Winters

This centenarian is an ardent friend OF
Peruna, having used it many years.
In speaking of his good health and ex-
IRENE old age, Mr.. Brock says
After man has lived in the world as
long as have, he ought to have found
out great many things by experience.
I think have done so.
"One of the things have found
out to my entire satisfaction Is the
proper thing for ailments that are
due directly to the effects of the
climate. For us years have
wifhsfood the changeabIe climate OF
the United States.
II have always been a very healthy
man, but of course subject to the little
affections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and temperature.
During my long life / have known
great many remedies for coughs, colds
and diarrhoea.
GAS for DR.. Hartman's remedy,
Peruna, / have found it TO be the
best, if not the only, reliable remedy
for these affections. 1t has been my
stancby for many years, and laffrib-
ute my good health and extreme old
age to this remedy.
1T exactly meets all my requirements.
It protects me from the evil effects OF
sudden changes; it keeps me in good
appetite; it gives me strength; it keeps
my blood in good circulation. ! have
come to rely upon italmost entirely for
the many little things for which need
medicine.
:. When epidemics of la grippe first
began to make their appearance in this
country I was sufferer from this dis
ease. s @e .a WE
~ had several long sieges with
the grip. At first did not know
that Peruna was q remedy for this
disease. When / heard that Ia grippe
was epidemic catarrh, tried Peruna
for Ia grippe and found it to be jnsf
the fhing.''
In a later letter dated January 81, 1903,
Mr.. Brock writes:
Il am we'll and feeling as we'll as /
have for years. The only thing that
bothers me is my sight. II / could see
better could walk all over the farm and
it would do me good. I would not be
without Peruna.''

A Physician's Statement.

:: Yorktow9, Ark, Jan. I.-Lelapd VIII.
hanson, NJ d., one of the cleyerest pny.
sicians, has made a statement, endorsing
Dodds' Kidney Pills and saying that he uses
them in his daily practice in preference to
any other Kidney medicine. His statement
has created a profound sensation as it is
somewhat unusual for physician to pub
licly endorse anything in the shape Of 4
patent medicine. DR.. Williamson says:
After twenty years practice in sickly
and malarieus country / have come to the
conclusion that it is always best to use the
remedy that win relieve and cure my pa
tients whether ethical or not.
!, Il have used Dodd's Kidney Pills with uni
form success IN the various forms of Kidney
Disease, Pain in. the Back, Gout, Rheuma-
tism, Inflammation and Congestion Of thu
Kidneys and all kindred diseases; always
prescribe Odds Kidney Pills in such cases
and can testify that they invariably restore
the Kidneys to their normal state and there
by relieve tie blood of accumulated poisous,
producing prompt and effective cures"

BOOSTING IN TREES.
That Should Be ReDressed by
Their Ownera. s&$s =

Thousands Of farmers permit their
turkeys, and sometimes their chick
ems, to roost in trees during all sea-
sons Of the year. Cold and exposure
prevent laying When fowls are al
lowed to live in the open air, they
require all the animal heat they can
get to keep themselves warm, and ac-
cordingly have none to spare for the
production Of eggs. When one is keep
ing fowls merely as pleasure. and
does not care whether they make or
lose money, it is perhaps as good q
plan to allow the birds to depend upon
themselves, but eggs will be lacking
during the colder months of the year.
Fowls are creatures Of habit, and even
If the farmer decides to build for his
flock a comfortable poultry house, it
will not prevent them from roosting
in the trees in winter unless they are
taught that. the houses are for their
accommodation. This is done by
catching them at night, and placing
them in the house, where they must
be confined for week, at the, end Of
which time they will have forgotten
their former roosting- places, and
when given their liberty will return at
night to their new quarters Outdoor
exposure is ruinous to birds of all
kinds When allowed to roost in trees,
they become the prey Of owls; or if on
the ground, they are liable to destruc-
ton from four-footed enemies. Tur-
keys often become lame from the
freezing Of their feet, while breeds
OF poultry with large combs and wat
ties also suffer severely. Fowls that
are not provided for are not fitted for
producing eggs, and the farmer conse-
quently loses the use Of their services
by not giving them proper care. As
eggs are usually high during the win
ter season, any expense in the poul-
try department should result in good
profit on the investment during that
time-Farm and Fireside. FL

when Grooming the Horses.

II a currycomb must be used, have
the smoothest one that can be found,
and use it but sparingly. In the hands
of some men the currycomb is bar
barous instrument of torture. Apple
with a long, sweeping motion, without
regard to the shape Of the body or the
evenress with which It is held, will
make poor animal shrink and shiver.
The skin is often seriously hurt by
the angles of the comb when carelessly
and heavily handled. A short molten,
back and forth, does the work more eff
fectively and humanely than the Sc
we're application of the comb described.
The horse will learn not to dislike it Il
he finds he is not hurt

CONCRETE ON THE FARM.
1t Can he Used Not Only for Cistern'
and Floors But for Fence
Posts Also.

There is little excuse for up to date
farmers wading around in the mud.
when concrete walks may be had around
house and barn with a very small outlay
of money, provided the man is handy and
can do the work himself after little in
struction, says Rural New Yorker. Be-
sides the making of walks concrete Is
being used in many other ways advan-
tageously and economically During the
past season we have seen fence posts
made from stone and concrete that are
much cheaper than the cut stone post,
and just as durable. The plan OF making
the posts was to dig down two feet into
the ground, or perhaps deeper in soft
ground, and then make box the size
of post wanted which was filled with the
concrete and topped out according to
fancy. When hinges or eyes were wanted
for hanging gates holes were bored in
the box and the eyes inserted before the
filing was done, taking care to have
same anchored well In the post. A con-
crete floor is easily made in houses built
of stone or brick, and renders residence
practically freproof. We saw floors OF
this kind made last season that seem to
be perfection. A wooden floor Is first
made Of rough lumber and on this Is
laid a wire cloth, in which the concrete
is spread six inches thick. When it
dries the wooden floor is removed and
the concrete is self-sustaining The
convcrete is made by mixing together
Portland cement, sand and coal cinders.
It Is said to cost but little more than
flrat-class floor made Of wood, including
the joists. We have seen a number OF
cisterns made out OF concrete, no brick
being used for walling up. In making
q cistern Of this kind it is necessary to
have rough wooden wall made about
three inches all around from the dirt
and I'LL in space with concrete. After
the wood wall is removed one coat Of
cement completes the cistern, and it is
there for all time to come The greatest
objection to iron fence posts is that they
are not solid in the ground, being so
email. BY using bed of concrete and
the base OF all iron posts set In 1t will
be found that they will stand az we'll a.
any other post.

lust the Thing for Cattle Pastures
Where a Three-Wire Fence
Confines the Stock.

The following is a description OF a
cheap and seryiceable wire gate which
will be found satisfactory, especially in
places where a gate is not often used.
1t, Of course, would not do for sheep
or hogs, but will serve the purpose in
cattle pastures, where a three-wire
fence is sufficient to conf1ne stock. Cut
three wires each about a foot longer
than the distance between the posts,
and three short wires each six inches
long. rorm the short wires into loops
and fasten to post (A), (B, B, b. with
staples, the desired distance apart.

Merino Buckwheat for stock.

There is certain kind of buckwheat
cultivated in Otsego county, New York,
which goes by the name of Merino
buckwheat. It is little earlier than
the other kinds, and can be sown any
time after spring work is done They
generally sow it from June 10 to 20.
The blossom is the same color of the
leaves, SO you never notice it being in
blossom Its qualities are sure crop
every time and its great yield. It
never fails OF a good crop, like the 9TH
er kind It yields from 60 to 67k
bughels to the acre. It does not make
good flour for man to eat, but is great
ly relished by all kinds OF stock and

tie bitter It has been raised in that
