MARKETING HONEY CROP.
Suggestions of Managing the Busi- ness Ind of the Apiary So as {
 to Make It Pay.

This to some, especially the producer of only small amount. aeems like ., hard question. Butit always looked to me like this, says M. H. Wright, in Rural Bee-Keeper. That if man was smart enough to produce crop of any thing, he ought to be able and smart enough to nnd | market for said crop. A. rule, parties who can't ind . market are to blame themselves. It takes some hustling, . good deal of correspondence and time. to market . crop of honey yourself and at good figure. Of course, when you have market established, if you do the fair thing you are pretty certain where you will sell tho next seasons crop
 My experience has bsen.yhofH with extracted honey. as never produced any comb. and think l never will. Usually as soon as l commence to ex- tract l take out samples of honey In smau vials and mall them at once to reliable firms. of whom have list, and get their best cash price f. o. b. my station, if possible. Tho party pay. ing the highest price of course gets the honey. One will not be able to sell 1. o. b. very often and not atsall unless he is we'll known and has a reputation back of the deal. But If you take pains in putting up your honey, being partic- ular about strsining and keeping the package clean as possible. and last, cad most essential. be sure your honey b thoroughly ripensd. and that there is not . doubt @ to its being sweet and not "just | trine sour," because one lot of such honey will hurt your mar kst ever after. It sometimes costs us quite sum to get acquainted with the people who arc in the market for honsy. tfF-t I'VE
 This Is very often the case when consigning to commission men. You ship them . lot of honey and they re- port 'so many pounds leakage" and what can you do? Take what you can est and scratch down . black mark aftsr their nams on your list. Small eonsolation in that thought Of course there arc reliable nrms among the commission men. and if any of them should chance to read this hope, they will not construe . wrong moaning. But taken e general class. take into confederation the assets of the most of the commission men and then hguro out your chances of getting top mar hot psice for your consignment. Pret- ty slim Better take little less for your cr,p and sell 1t ycurseK and sell it where you know you will get your pay. If there is any doubt e to the Arus being reliable. go to your hank and look up their standing in Brad street. If you don't lind them rated, bsttsr let them %.
 There are plenty of places to market yoGr honey at wholesale. Send to the confectioners. brewers. bakers. vinegar vorks and medicine firms. Be sure your honey will be like sample and gussantes it Of course all thess large ccasumers buy st wholesale and st vholssale price. which to snms would not hs befidactoy. In . ease of that kind you win sell in small lots and packagss. and If your locality will per nit you can peddle it out But when one starts out to peddle honey. cape eially vhsrs they ars not acquainted and sai1 honey is extraefed. thsy must havs lots of grit and 'stick-to-it-ive- nsU- er slss in . few days t1ey cone to ths conclusion that there iA mo p1ass IIks hons" and proceed to smi- sTafs thst vay e fast e theif vsary ltnhs vill take then h conclusion. 1 vilI ~. pst up frst-cIass grsds of hnasy. - sure f is sipe and elean- d. vwtiDe a. guafantes 1t e reprseeatsd. m1 yuu viu havs 70 srsat tOen1s h oDekine n c tp6s c bpnsy ss0y 1or c . poVlng psses nBs pso1uetiua. vifh- ous fAo o11 v eho cumu,G11o1 -
