WITH THE HONEY MAKERS.

By no means store comb honey in
the cellar, as it is sure to sweat and
become moldy. Better put it in the
attic, as the heat can in nowise harm
it. provided, Of course. that it isn't hot
enough to melt 1t.
The best and most profitable way for
the average beekeeper to dispose Of
unfinished sections is to extract all
that will not sell as second grade for
as much as extracted honey will bring
and use them for bait sections next
year.
In preparing the hives for the late
flow proceed in precisely the same
manner as for the early flow, using the
same supers as formerly. only. of
course. putting in new section boxes
with foundation for comb honey to
take the places Of the completed Sec
tons taken from them.
The extracted honey when stored in
cans or barrels can be placed In eel
lars or other convenient repositories
and unless bottled early will in all
probability granulate as soon as the
nights become cold, but this granula-
ton in no sense hurts 1t, and the heat
ing required to nquefy it for bottling
In a large measure prevents further
granulation.-Farm Journal.

Ratio of Trees to People.

A publication devoted to landscape
gardening, arboriculture and kindred
subjects has been giving attention to
tree census and to the ratio of trees to
inhabitants in several eastern cities.
1t reaches the conclusion that 'any self
respecting American city ought to be
countrified to the extent of one live
shade tree to every five living human
inhabitants" Springfield, Mass, is
given ratio of one tree to every five
inhabitants; Worcester, Mass, one to
eight. and Hartford. Conn, one to ten
In Washington the ratio of trees to
population is very high.

Soils that are sour may be made sweet

A good supply of decomposable Or

For soils that are out Of condition in
this respect good way to supply Or

available is to raise and pillow under a
crop of cOwpeas or some other green

there is plenty Of evidence to show
