No False Honeycomb.

There's no such thing as false honey
comb. That is the emphatic and I'M
qualified statement of committee of
the Chicago Beekeepers' Association,
made In a report following thorough
investigation and a prize offer of ST.,
600. Two members of the association
have posted $1,000 and offer to pay it
over TO any man who will show where
honey or substitute for honey is sold
in a manufactured comb The commit
tee states that there is no comb in ex-
istence other than that made by the
bees. and the sweets that fill the comb
is that gathered by the little workers
from the flowers and blossoms. The
money posted by the beekeepers has
been up for months. and has been so
published. but up to this time no one
has appeared to claim 1t.
Concerning adulterated honey, the
committee says In its report that 1t is
well known that strained honey has
been adulterated with glucose. but
that the producers of pure honey, aid
cd by the work of the Illinois pure
food officers. have well-nigh broken up
the practice.

Notification Committee Breaks tn
News to Roosevelt.


Notification Committee Breaks the
News to Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt was notified for
mally Wednesday of his nomination
for the presidency by the Republican
national convention. The ceremony
took place at his country home at Sag
amore Hill. three miles from Oyster
Bay. L. L.. and in accordance with the
wish of the President it was as simple
as possible.
On behalf of a committee represent
ing every State and Territory Of the
United States, the formal notification
of the action of the convention was
made by Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker of
the House of Representatives On their
arrival at Sycamore Hill the commit
teemen were received by President
Roosevelt, Mrs. Roosevelt and National
Chairman George &. Cortelyou.
At the conclusion of the informal re-
ception the ceremony of notification be-
gan. While the members of the fam
lily. the house guests and some of the
distinguished visitors were assembled
on the veranda, majority of those
in attendance gathered on the lawn
facing the veranda.
When Speaker Cannon rose to deliv-
er his speech of notification he was
greeted with applause Al the close of
Mr.. C2nnon'S address the President sd
vanced to the veranda railing, ,md
standing under a great festoon of
American flags. delivered his address
in response to the notification.
Following are sentences from Presl-
dent Rooseyelts speech of acceptance;
When | became President because Of
the death of my lamented predecessor,
| stated that it was my purpose to carry
out his principles and policies. To the
best of my ability have kept that prom
Use.
We ere more fortunate than our oppo-
nents, who now appeal for confidence on
the ground that, if triumphant, they may
be trusted to prove false to every prin-
ciple which in the last eight years they
have laid down as vital.
There is nothing experimental about
the government we ask the people to
continue in power.
In dealing with the trusts, we do not
have to explain why the laws were not
enforced, but to point out that they ac-
tually have been enforced.
Assuredly it is unwise TO change poll
icies which have worked so well and
which are now working so well.
We have placed the finances of the
nation on a sound gold basis. So long
as the Republican party is in power the
gold standard is settled.
That whenever the need arises there
should be a readjustment of the tariff
schedules is undoubted, but such changes
can be made with safety only by those
whose devotion to the principle of the
protective tariff is beyond question.
We believe in reciprocity with foreign
nations on the terms outlined in Presi-
dent McKinley's last speech, which urged
the extension of our foreign markets by
reciprocal agreements whenever they
could be r4ade without injury to Ameri-
can industry and labor.
We have already shown that our poll
icy is to do fair and equal justice to all
men.
The construction of the isthmian canal
is now an assured fact, but most certain
ly it is unwise to entrust the carrying
out of so moment6hs policy to those
who have endeavored to defeat the whole
undertaking.

Two Rroo,,s of Pigs a Year.

good many of our swine raiserS
produce only one brood of pigs a year.
They say that the spring litter is
easily taken care of and after wean-
ing goes onto green, sueculent pas
ture. That is true. but it should not
be FORGOTTEN that there is something
to be said on the other side. The man
that is well equipped for swine-rais-
ing has considerable money Invested
in Lighthouses. pens and the like. If two
hroods are raised year the plant
so called. is kept in use the year
around. and can thus be made TO earn
good interest on the investment. At
ter ali The question of two broods is
largely one of winter feed OF sue
culent nature. and most of our farm
ers are intelligent enough 10 solve that
problem in one way and another. But
the man that attempts TO do this
should expect TO give his filters more
attention in the fall than in the spring.
The "let-alone' policy will not prove

Science and Corn Silk.


Corn silk has received considerable
attention from our corn scientists. II
is somewhat unusual manifestation
of nature, the cavity to be fortified by
the pollen sending out this long. silky

to be harvested. The silk at the butt
of the ear appears first and is the long

CROPS FAVORED BY WEATHER

Reports of Damage to Principal Ce-
reals Show a Decrease.
Following is the summary of the
weather bureau weekly crop report:
East of the Rocky Mountains the tenn
perature during the week was highly
favorable. but in the Pacific coast States
and over the western portions of the mid
die and northern plateau districts 1t was
unseasonably cool, with frosts on the 18th
in Washington and Oregon Too much
rain hindered farm work in the central
gulf districts. and in parts of the Ohio
valley and middle Atlantic States, while
need of rain is beginning to be felt in
northern New England, portions of the
Carolinas, over the greater part of Texas
and in southern Colorado. Drought has
been relieved in the north Pacific coast
districts, but continues with increased
severity in the southern plateau region.
Corn had exceptionally favorable
weather and made rapid growth. In the
Missouri valley and parts of the upper
Ohio valley and middle Atlantic States
corn has. however. suffered somewhat
from lack of cultivation, and in Texas
the late plant is being injured by drought.
Better weather for harvesting wheat
prevailed than last week, and this work
made generally satisfactory progress, al
though still delayed by moisture in parts
Of Kansas and the Ohio valley. Harvest
ing is practically completed in Missouri
and Nebraska. and is we'll advanced in

Using the Disc Harrows


The disc as a form of soil cultiyator
is becoming constantly more popular;
but it must be used right to be eff
fective. An expert with the disc har-
row says:
| want TO say an encouraging word
for the disc harrow. Not all soils are
adapted for its use-exceedingly stony
land is ill-fitted for its use. nor perhaps
the heavy, sticky clays. But upon
loamy soils that are loose and upon
which sod quickly forms after seeding
there is no tool to compare to the heavy
disc. 1t seems a waste of money to
buy the small light machines. Farm
ers often say. My team is light. can
not draw those big 20-inch discs,
weighted" All right. then you won't
do much business. These small teams
always mean poor cultiyation-upon
these heavy sods there must be given
the draft of three or four horses of
good weight-not less than 1900
pounds. Upoa the machine besides the
driver may be added an extra load of
stone to put the discs down at least
five inches and if the sod is not torn
up go deeper. The field may look I'M
even when finished, but a spring tooth
or smoothing harrow will do the level
ing and the soil will have been thor
oughly mixed and the cultivation if
prolonged for two weeks will approx
mate the old-fashioned summer fallow.
And if carried along periodically for
four to six weeks it will reduce the
stubborn quack grass. Cheap disc
sharpeners are upon the market costing
not more than $3.50 to So that will do
the work effectually. These sharp discs
will do more work with less weight
and somewhat reduced draft.
