HONEY is LOOKED
UPON AS A LUXURY
Every Farm should Have Compile.
ment Of From One to Half
Dozen Hives Of Bees.

Honey is looked upon too often as
luxury 1t is true that honey. es-
pecially comb honey. is delicacy in
that 1t takes the place Of jam and jel-
ly. In Europe. however, honey is a
household article and is used TO a
considerable extent to replace sugar
In cookery. The claim is made that
1t is comparatively simple matter
to substitute honey for sugar or mo-
lasses in many recipes and that the
resulting flavor is often novel and
pleasing. Icing made with honey in
stead of sugar will keep soft and fresh
for months, and cakes, especially those
In which butter is not used, have been
kept fresh for several months.
The United States department OF
agriculture has made a rather extern
sive investigation concerning the use
of honey. and has just published
Farmers Bulletin 653. Honey and Its
Uses in the Home. which may be se-
cured for the asking, This bulletin
not only contains much general in
formation concerning honey, its
forms, method of making and keep
ing, but also contains many recipes in
which il constitutes an important in
gredient.
Comb honey is practically certain to
be pure because the processes by
which it is adulterated cost more than
they will save. Formerly there was
very prevalent idea that extracted
honey, that is. honey removed from
the comb, was often adulterated.
However. recent legislation regarding
adulterating food materials has been
such that very little, II any, adulter.
ated honey finds its way to market.
1t is not necessary. however, for
farmers to depend on buying honey.
because every farm should have its
complement of from one to a half
dozen hives OF bees.

POTATO FAMINE

WASHINGTON, Feb. Elf wheat
remains at its present high figure or
continues to rise in price and if there
is corresponding increase in the
price of bread, scientists in the de.
partment of agriculture suggested that
the ordinary household will find it ad.
vantageous to eat more potatoes and
less bread" says a statement issued
today at the department.
"With potatoes at 90 cents a bushel,
10 cents worth, of 10 pounds, will
give the consumer a little more actual
nourishment than two one pound
loaves of bread at cents each. If
prices change sufficiently to make it
desirable from a financial point of
view, there is no scientific reason why
potatoes should not be substituted to
great extent for bread.''
BERLIN, Feb. 27-Many Berlin fam.
lies will have no potatoes for their
Sunday dinner. Although it is expected
that the removal Of the restriction in
the maximum price will soon result in
the bringing in of a supply, the time
has been too short as yet to permit this.
1t was necessary to establish police
guard at many shops where potatoes
were on sale to prevent overcrowding.
Only small quantities are sold to one
person, at prices usually around IL
marks (about 80 cents) for 10 pounds.
