COLOR is GUIDE TO
QUALITY OF HONEY
Alfalfa, White Clover and Bass
wood Produce Greatest
Quantities.

Honey is judged usually by its col
or, flavor, and density, asserts DIR. j.
II. Merrill, assistant professor Of ento-
molOgy.
"Color is q fair guide. The best
honeys are known as the water-white,"
said Doctor Merrill. "Some Of the
sources of honey are the clOvers-
white, crimson, and sweet-alfalfa,
goldenrod, buckwheat, heartsease,
Eastwood, and raspberries. Clover,
which produces white honey, Is
raised along the roadsides.
"The goldenrod is an important
source of honey in the fall. This gives
the honey a rich golden color. Buck
wheat produces dark honey. 1t is pop
ular, because it blooms late.
"Heartsease Is common honey
bearing plant in western Kansas. Its
height is from three to five feet. AS u
rule, the flowers are purple, but in
rare cases white. The honey from
this source varies from q light to a
dark amber. The flavor is good, but
not quite as good as the white honey.
"Basswood furnishes more honey
than any other plant except alfalfa
and white clover. The blossoms are
Of a light yellow. In one case 43
pounds of honey were obtained in
three days from one hive. The flavor
is strong mint.
"The raspberry produces the finest
honey. Its flavor is even superior to
the white clover flavor"

Epitaph of Romance.

Romance may be alive under the
glare of the bright lights of the great
cities, but in this quaint old mountain
town its swan song has been sung.
Witness the following:
A young woman employee of New
York publishing house wrote her name
on an inside page of a magazine pub
lished by the company. The magazine
fell into the hands of A. B. Watson,
twenty-one years old, of this place,
who is considered matrimonial timber.
Watson wiote the young woman.
Did he propose marriage? Not on your
life. He told her she should be
ashamed of herself for seeking ac-
qualntance in this manner.-Weldon,
w. Va, Dispatch in Chicago Tribune.

ing was done at different seasons Of
the year and upon wounds of various
ages.
From the results of this experiment
as a whole, it is concluded that the
dressings commonly applied to prun-
ing wounds retard rather than acceler-
ate the healing Of the wounds. The
effects are the same whether the dress
ings are applied when the wounds are
made or some weeks later, when the
cut surface has dried out. The effect
Of the dressings used are so injurious
to peach wood that wounds on peach
trees should never be covered. For
sprayed orchards at least, it appears
unnecessary to apply dressings to
wounds under four or five inches in
diameter to prevent the entrance of
fungi. 1t remains to be proved wheth-
er dressings have any real value in
covering large wounds. The injury
caused by dressings probably offsets
or even overbalances any possible pro-
lection against decay.
OF the materials used, shellac was
the least injurious and seemed to exert
a stimulating influence upon wounds
for the first season. Shellac adhered
to the wounded surfaces least well of
all. Avenarious carbolineum and yell
low ochre caused so much injury that
they should never be used as dress
ings. Coal tar in addition to causing
injury, disappeared rapidly, either
through absorption or evaporation.
Tissues injured by using white lead
and white zinc practically recovered
from the injury by the end Of the sea-
son. OF the protective substances
used, white lead is considered the best.

STOCK TO INCREASE
GRAIN PRODUCTION
Soil Is Maintained in Higher State
Of Fertility Where Animals
Are Produced.

By c. A. WILSON, Kentucky Expert
ment Station.)
1t may be shown in some instances
that the selling of the crops off the
farm for one year will bring in more
money than the feeding of the crops
to live stock on the farm, but the his
tory of agriculture shows that the soil
is maintained in higher state of fer
tility in those counties and commune
ties where live stock production pre-
walls. Again, live stock production is
not opposed necessarily to the sale of
grains and other marketable crops
from the farm. Live stock on the
farm will increase the crop production
per acre through the conservation of
soil fertility. Records of the more
progressive stock farms show that
they actually sell more crops than the
average farm.

Provide an abundance Of plantfood
If you would have success with the
family vegetable garden.
Stable or barnyard manures are the
best fertilizers at all times. CONNER
cial plantfOods are excellent In their
places, especially when 1t Is desired
to force some Of the early varieties
Of vegetables, but their use requires
that the soil be In high state of cul-
tivatlon and that the gardener have
an expert knowledge of their uses and
functions.
To properly prepare garden plow
under heavy application of manure
in the fall and then in the spring har-
rowing in another heavy coat of we'll
rotted manure. After putting on what
we think is enough we double the
amount and the chances are we will
have 1t about right.
Constant cultivation should be the
rule, for this will keep the soil in an
ideal condition, physically, for the
roots to grow in, besides keeping the
weeds in check.
Cultivate early and persistently and
keep the weeds in check. Allowing
the weed seeds to germinate and quick
ly destroying them early in the season
will save large amount Of work dur
ing the summer.
Eliminate all of the old-fashioned
beds and plant everything in long
rows, so that the most Of the cultlva-
tion can be done withsa horse. There
need not be an unpleasant amount of
hand work if properly worked with a
horse and cultlvatOr.

DRESSINGS APPLIED

Do not plan larger garden than
you can keep clean and well titled.
A small garden will supply an abun-
dance of vegetables for a large fam
lily. After the soil has been well en-
riched and well fitted we are ready
to plant. If the plan has been well
worked out all that Is necessary is to
plant each variety at the proper time
in the right place.
The family garden should be planted
to suit the needs Of the family and no
two families will agree as to the
amount of each kind Of vegetables to
grow. The time to plant varies so
largely with the locality that no ad-
vice as to dates of planting is offered.
If we will study out the time it re-
quires each crop to mature we may be
able to plan other crops to take their
place as soon as they are consumed,
A few crops like blood beets, egg
plants, melons, onions, peppers, win
ter squash and tomatoes require a
whole season for their maturity. 9th
er crops like lettuce, radishes, early
beets, summer squash and string
beans, will mature early enough to
allow other crops to be grown on the
same soil after they are gone.
The great object in doing this is to
keep the soil from growing a rank
growth of weeds later in the season.
Get interested in the garden early
by sending for the various seed cata-
logues and garden implement cata-
logues advertised in the papers.
Good seed means success, and good
garden implements are a pleasure to
handle.
