daintily clad, but still able to with
stand the strain of walking in the
street, the handsome pump with
French heel or the ~cloth-topped boot
with brocaded uppefs are the proper
choice. They are made of patent
coltskin with leather heels. The pump
is elaborated with fancy fastening
and Is one Of the most successful of
this seasons models.
The brocaded boot is a type of many
boots, made with cloth tops. These
tops are often made in a color to
match a suit, but the great majority
of them is in black. Brocaded cloths
are dressier than plain weaves The
pump called the "Ostend' is rather
more dressy than the boot, and fine
for summer wear.
The house slipper Of soft kid is
made purely for comfort, but is not
u~nattractive in shape. It is fulled
across the toe and as flexible as a
glove.
A pair Of brocaded slippers for eve
ming wear, with high French heels, are
of a type which has held its own SO
long that they do not need special
description.

I save by being my w salesman.
Besides, the home market does not
grade honey so closely as commission
men do. In my neighborhood only
two grades are recognized-the dark
and the white with a difference Of
only two cents between them.
When working a new town, If you
succeed in getting an order from one
Of the best grocers, then go to his
competitor and tell him Of it. Talk to
him as a drummer should and the
chances are that you will get a du-
plicate order from him, as he al
well furnish his. customers the same
article at the same price.
II you cannot get sales started in
this way, leave crates with two or
three reliable grocers, seeing that they
keep them in a prominent place where
people entering the stores will be sure
to see, and you will soon get a trade
started.
The more places your honey is kept
on sale the more will be sold, espe-
cially If you put 1t in nice, clean, at
tractive packages. After the home
market has been supplied, and there
IL some honey left, one may have
to send it to the large cities to be sold
on commission, but l would do it only
as a last resort.
Lastly comes the question of when
to sell, and it is the most puzzling Of
any. When there is a large crop the
tendency Of prices is downward.
Knowing this, there is a tendency
to rush the honey into market when
it becomes known that there is a
bountiful crop. This puts the prices
down still further. This matter Of
when to sell is one of those questions
that each man must decide for him
self. If there Is a short crop general
ly and prices are advancing gradual
ly, it certainly seems safe to hold
honey a reasonable length Of time. AS
a rule, however, l would not hold
honey until winter. Marketing honey
is one OF the most essential parts Of
~beekeeping. A failure In the honey
crop means the loss Of part Of your
years labor, but II you sell your prod
uct at a loss your entire years labor
is in vain.

SMALL PROFIT TO FARMER.

The manufacturers Of intoxicating
liquors quite frequently represent
themselves as indispensable to the
farmers, on account of the market
they afford him for his grain. But
investigation shows that only a very
small part Of the farmers total prod.
ucts are taken by the breweries and
distilleries. For instance, during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911, 114,-
509,855 bushels of barley, wheat, rye,
cor and oats were used in making al.
coholic liquors. But the farmers
raised, during tho year 1910, a total
of 5,143,1S7.OOO bushels Of these same
grains and this shows that the liquor
traffic use less than two and a half
per cent. Of the FIVE leading grain
crops of the land. For every bushel
Of grain used by the breweries and
distilleries more than forty-four and
three-fifths bushels are used for legiti.
mate food purposes.-Prof. John A.
Nichols.

he is at considerable expense in send

this same stallion. Then don't forget
that he has to keep his horse all dur
