EVOLVING PLAN TO
MARKET OUR HONEY
One Thing to Secure Crop and
Another to Dispose of 1t to
the Best Advantage.
Rv f. G. HERMAN.o

After the honey harvest is over, we
look proudly at the piles of nice white
cases with such beautiful, clean look
ing combs shining through the glass,
and realize that all that care and skill
can do to make 1t attractive has been
done, we come face to face with that
momentous question, What shall we
do with it?"
The old, time-honored method of
bundling the whole crop off to some
city commission house, selected by
guess usually, to get returns for it
perhaps, sometime, has proved so un-
satisfactory that we have all been
working at this vexing problem
which has not kept place with other
improvements in agriculture. l have
learned from experience that it is one
thing to secure crop of honey and
quite another to dispose of it to the
best advantage.
Much has been written and said in
favor of developing a home market,
and of every man selling his own
honey. If q man has good home
market or can develop one, or if he
has a good salesman, such a course
is alright but the best locality for pro-
ducing honey often, very poor one
for selling, and the best bee-keeper
is sometimes the poorest kind Of a
salesman. In such cases it is wisdom
to seek distant markets, and to en-
ploy somebody to do the selling.
My own experience with commission
men has been very pleasant and sat
isfactory, but l have never sent any
honey to any firm that had no estab-
lished reputation for honesty and fair
dealing.
The man who is on the spot usually
can tell better than anyone else as to
when it is best to sell at a certain
price. AS a rule, there is more salts
faction in making an out and out sale.
Better prices, however, are sometimes
realized when honey is sold on COM
mission, as the man who buys and
pays cash down is pretty careful not
to pay too much.
am very much impressed as to the
necessity of disposing of our honey
near home as the best and surest way
of maintaining prices. and the good
of all concerned. l am sure that nine
tenths of all the beekeepers could get
more money for their honey If only
they would drum up home trade in
stead of shipping to congested city.
In disposing of my crop have had
the best success while working up
my home market. For the same kind

SERVICES BEYOND ALL PRICE
Safesuarded the Vast Commerce
of the Nation.

A lightship must keep always in
one particular place. Anchored to
the bottom of the sea, she has her
steam always up, but she never sails
unless relieved by another ship so
that she may put into port for repairs.
And such a boat is used because a
warning must be given at place
where it is impossible to build light
house, and where even the clamor of
a gigantic bell buoy is not sufficient
to warn the navigator. No matter
how fiercely the storm beats or how
desperate may be the boats plight,
she must stay at her moorings. The
only movement she is allowed to
make under the regulations is to sink
when at last she can withstand the
gale no longer. 1t would bring them
deserved recognition if the govern
ment ever published a list of those
who have lost their lives in the line
of such perilous duty. For about
$6,OOO,000 year these men and their
craft save from disaster the billions
of dollars worth of shipping and com

Plea for the Hen.

I should like to see the hen on a
plane, at least, with the turkey and
the goose.
She is their superior in every way
except that of size, and yet they have
long held the place of honor on the
Christmas and the Thanksgiving din
ner table, and they have had reams
and reams Of poetry written about
them.
But the hen, that most important
of all feathered creatures, who writes
poetry about her? Who even takes
the trouble to know anything about
her early history in America? Who
owned the first hen; when and where
did she land upon our shores?
Why not make amends for our long
years of neglect by making her the
center of the feast on the Fourth of
July? Hereafter let it be our Thanks

| save by being my own 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 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 can
well furnish his customers the same
article at the same price.
If you cannot get sales started in
this way, leave crates with two or
three reliable grocers, seeing that they
keep them in prominent place where
people entering the stores will be sure
to see, and you will soon get trade
started.
The more places your honey is kept
on sale the more will be sold, espe-

tractive packages After the home
market has been supplied, and there
is some honey left, one may have
to send it to the large cities to be sold
on commission, but would do it only
as last resort.
Lastly comes the question of when
to sell, and it is the most puzzling of
any. When there is large crop the
tendency of prices is downward.
Knowing this, there is 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 if you sell your prod
uct at loss your entire years labor
is in vain.

Don't listen to the groom or the
owner of stallion that has weak eyes
when he tells you that the colts of a
be perfectly sound. l knew of very
fine stallion, many years ago. This
horse had apparently good eyes him
self, but his sire, a great winner on
the turf in his day, was blind. A
large percentage of the colts of his
son that had apparently good eyes,
went totally blind at an early age,
and that from four to six years.
If you own a mare that has crooked
hooks, or in other words, who has cat
hams, as the saying is, you can be
pretty sure that her colt will fall heir
to the same blemish, and therefore
will be most likely to develop curbs
Or spavins, either bog or bone.
On bad, rainy days during the win
ter season, when it is impossible to
work the teams out of doors, you
should go over all the harness, oil and
repair it, then when the bright and
sunshiny days arrive, you will be in
shape to go to work in the fields, as
sured of the fact that you will not
have to stop for repairs for broken
harness.
The stallion owner takes many
risks. In the first place, he has to
depend in large degree on the alb
solute honesty of the farmer. The
