Care in Extracting Honey.

One of the most important things
we have to consider today is the pro-
duction of extracted honey, II we
want to increase our trade or hold
the trade we have. We often hear of
large producers advocating short cuts
to produce large quantities and also
of good quality, but, unfortunately,
there are a great many bee keepers,
especially beginners, who want guam
tity. but have not the artificial facli-
ties for producing Vt, and very often
these articles are adapted for DIFF
ferent climate. What would be suit
able for dry climate like Colorado
or Texas or some of the eastern coun-
tries Is not at all suitable Tor Onta-
rio. We have had some little expe-
rience with honey produced by bee
Keepers who do not give 1t proper
attention in the way of ripening.
I have known bee keepers who
brag of how much they can extract
in a day. 1t Is not a good thing to
brag about, think, because usually
there Is little Of that honey which is
capped. Many think 1t can be run
into a tank and artificially rlpened.
but that Is practically impossible in
this climate. The proper way is to
have it ripened in the hive and sealed
up as soon as possible. 1t is not
necessary for 1t to lie in tanks: It
only gathers moisture and depreciates
more or less. even In dry weather
You will find a different grade of
honey taken from the bottom of a
large tank from that at tho top. IL
there Is one thing that will destroy or
spoil the demaud fer extracted honey
II Is this.
OF course. | know there is a GER
tain class that caters To the con-
fectionery trade II is thought any
thing Is good enough for the confec-
tloner. aud very often the bpyers for

Hens that have shady places where
they can easily find them are the ones
that continue laying longest in the
summer season. Painting, thirsty
hens often neglect their legitimate
business while seeking for bodily COM
fort. A little extra care right here
will put dollars into the pocketbook.l
Nothing is better appreciated than
a grape arbor across the lower ends
of permanent hen yards They can
be wide enough to provide shade for
the hens and, at the same time, high
enough to preserve the fruit for FAM
lily use. 1t is surprising how grape
vines thrive and bear in such situa-
tons, and while serving double pur-
pose.
If YOU have a year round" mar
ket for your eggs. the last of this
month Is the time to prepare for the
September matches. Pullets from these
will begin to lay in March and April.
when the winter layers are thinking
of having a rest, SO the supply of
eggs may easily be kept up.
Don't forget that ducks which do
not have access to a pond or stream
OF water. need shade even more than
hens do on a hot day, and their sup
ply of drinking water must be re-
newed very often.
1t does not pay to underfeed any
growing animal, especially fowl o.
different kinds The quicker their
growth the sooner they will begin
laying or go to market. Tho sooner
you realize that they are nothing but
machines which turn proper food in
to fries and eggs, the greater will be-
your profit.
There Is no need of letting fowls
roost i'm trees TO got fresh air and
plenty of it. Remove the windows of
the hen house and put chicken wire
in their place. Your flocks will then
be safe from night raiders( those with
two feet as we'll as those with four)
and fresh air will circulate freely.
1t is a good plan to hang ord win
dow shades in the hen house during
the summer months They serve to
keep out the hot sun and the change
in temperature, night and day. Is not
so marked.--Western Farmer.

Right Time to Cut Clover

When one-third of the heads have
turned brown, cut the clover. 1t
would make better quality of hay
to cut 1t sooner but there is greater
difficulty In curing it, 80 what would
be gained by earlier cutting, so far
as digestible nutrients are concerned.
would likely he lost in curing. Many
farmers make the mistake Of allow
ing their clover to- stand. too long.
says James b. Holcomb, in Farm and
Home Sometimes this cannot be
avoided on account of other work or
weather conditions. Where, this is the
case we have nothing to say, but we
want to urge farmers to make h
strong effort to begin cutting their
clover In time. When clover Is in
full bloom--wheh one-third of the
heads have turned brown---it has taxi
en- up all the plant food from the soil
and the atmosphere that it is going
to take up; to contains all of the nu-
trients 1t ever will contain.
Changes take place within the plant
after the period Of full bloom, and
part of the protein, fats and the car
bo-hydrates are transported from the
stems and leaves to the heads for de-
veloping the seed. The total amount
of protein, fats and carbo-h ydrates Is
not thereby changed, but they are
changed in form and when stored mp
in the seed become lost so far as cat
tie food is concerned. If the clover ID
allowed to get too near ripe the for-
age loses food value Not only does
the protein i'm the stems and leaves
decrease, during the seed. formation
period, but the crude fiber increases
correspondingly and this, to certain
extent. ihterferes with the digestion
of protein and carbo- hydrates.
