EVOLVING PLAN TO
MARKET OUR HONEY
One Thing to Secure Crop and
Another to Dispose of 1t to
the Best Advantage.
(By F. G. HERMAN.)

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 it 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 I'M
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 a man has a 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, a 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 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.
l 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. / 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 a congested city
In disposing of my crop have had
the best success while working up
my home market. For the same kind
of honey often get a better price
than in the large cities, and certainly

plane, at least, with the turkey and

She is their superior in every way
except that of size, and yet they have
long held the place of honor on the

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 hem 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

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 a 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

SULPHUR-THE GREAT

Mr.. Warren C. Cares, 10S So Ohio

Eczema which covered my body

l 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 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 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 a 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 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 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.

Animal IdIosyncraeies.

Many are the idiosyncracies of ami
mails. Some horses are afraid of a
dog, some of bit of paper, some
of a bear, some of a car. l have
known two mules to shy at big yell

we formerly owned could not endure
to see any mans hat removed.
The oldest trick recorded of rid
ing animal is that of Balaam's ass,
who tried to crush it's riders foot
against the wall. Biting, paving and
boiling are also described in the Scrip
lures. A balky team figures in Esop
and Chauser. That the horses OF
the Saracens used to shy is shown by
the traditional inquiry IF they
thought King Richard was in that
bush?" This same baking, or jib
bling, in all it's varieties is one of the
most aggravating of vices.-From "A

either by Sinking, or any other cause,
pay your money to the stallion owner

lose by your mistake. Remember that
he is at considerable expense in send
ing this stallion around the country
during the breeding season and that
he has probably paid big price for
this same stallion. Then don't forget
that he has to keep his horse all dur
ing the off season, whether he has
made money or not.

Look out for the feet of the jack.
ANY one familiar with this animal
will know that their rect are liable
to grow out of all shape if they arc

be a trait of the mule family to have
bad hind feet, that is if they are not
trimmed at stated intervals. Not all,

Dry Quarters for Swine.

Young pigs need dry, clean quar-
tiers. The narrowing sows should
have dry, clean pens, preferably with
board floors, and very little bedding.
Many more young pigs are overlaid
and smothered by their mothers,
through getting tangled up in the
bedding, than are injured by lack of
bedding.

Promotes Civic Unity

Prof. Ebert Russell, member of the city
council, has the right idea concerning the Munich
pal Christmas Tree idea.
We agree with Prof Russell that the value of
the City Christmas Tree is not so much in the
giving of candies and toys to the little ones as
it is the spirit Of civic unity and cooperation it
promotes.
Community interest has not been fully devel-
oped in this country; such events as municipal
Christmas Tree celebrations encourages it
through the avenue of mutual help it opens up,
the spirit of neighborly interest it inspires and
the civic pride and love it fosters.
Americans are devotedly loyal to their nation
and their flag, as Prof. Russell points out, but
there is noticeable lack of loyalty to city. Is
not the Municipal Christmas Tree idea an excel
lent agency to promote civic loyalty, respect for
law and order and mutual cooperation?
One is inclined to believe it is after Witness
ing men and women in every walk Of life enthus-
iasticaly giving their time and money to make
the movement so successful that every child in
the city will have no reason to doubt the exist
ence of Santa Claus. In bringing happiness to
the children they also realize that they doing
something to benefit the community in which
they live and this gives added impetus to their
efforts.
