Merino Buckwheat for Stock.

There is certain kind of buckwheat
cultivated in Otsego county, New York,

buckwheat. 1t is little earlier than
the other kinds, and can be sown any

generally SOW it from June 10 to 20.

BOOSTING IN TREES.
A Natural Instinct of Fowls, But One
That Should BE Repressed by
Their Owners.

Thousands of farmers permit their
turkeys, and sometimes their chick
ems, to roost in trees during all sea-
prevent laying. When fowls are al.
lowed to live in the open air, they
require all the animal heat they can
get to keep then selves warm, and ac-
cordingly have zone to spare for the
production of eggs. When one is keep
ing fowls merely as a pleasure, and
does not care whether they make or
lose money, it is perhaps as good a
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, il
will not prevent them from roostir s
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 a 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; orsif 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 a good
profit on the investment during that
time-Farm and Fireside.

MARKETING HONEY.
Up 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 than a few years ago and
the times when honey was sold from
the supers or the large glass boxes are
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 rs or so pound crates;
but better price will result if sold
direct to the consumer. I 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 a
higher price than If sold through the
commission man. Through the gem
eral market find out what kind of a
crop there will b. 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 upsto good
quality do not sell 1t. Pack your
crates neatly, without putting the most
snowy in front. Keep all jammed 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 a 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. It should not be frozen,
Darkness is preferable to too much
light. Keep in a crate if possible.
Much dampness soon .spoils 1t and
makes it sour.-G. Fl. Townsend, in

ed to Referee Graney against the de-
cision that had been given in favor
of the champion. The two giants had
not been in the ring two minutes when
it was foreseen that the aspirations of
Munroe would be quickly disposed of.
The gross receipts of the Jeffries-
Monroe fight were $21 500, of which
Jeffries received $9,156 and Munroe
$6l04, the remainder going to the
promoters of the contest.
All who witnessed the one sided en-
counter agree that the champion is
in class by himself and that no other
living pugilist is likely to dispute his
right to the title. Throughout the
round and 45 seconds that the fight
lasted Jeffries showed gum and smil-
ed. He was perfectly calm and en-
tirely at his ease.
Munroe was pale and evidently ner-
yous. Never for a moment did he
stand the slightest chance to win, but
he was game and determined to fight
to the end. Had not Referee Graney
interceded as Jeffries was preparing
to land the decisive blow the bout
might have ended in a tragedy.
Munroe finds consolation in the be
lief that he went as far with Jeffries
as anyone could.
The champion anticipated a severe
! battle, and expressed himself as sur
prised that his opponent made SO poor
a showing. While disappointed at the
brevity of the fight, which some paid
/ $40 to see, sporting men admit that
/ it was a genuine battle for supremacy
and that the best man won.
