UNGATHERED HONEY.
Billions Of Dollars Worth Is Lost by
Waste Every Year.


An editorial in the Farm and Fire
side says:
The present centering of attention by
economists on food waste Is showing
that one OF the most unnecessary loss
es of a valuable food product is the
ungathered nectar Of flowers.
Speaking in broad way, there are
few farms I'm America that do not an
nually produce several hundred weight
OF honey over and above the honey re-
Of this appetizing staple food product.
The farms on which the owners sys-
tematically plan to save their honey at
present are less than one in hundred,
On several million American farms
where this honey goes unharvested
year after year this wsstage aggregates
billions of dollars.
A Minnesota scientific bee culturist,
Francis JAEGER, is authority for the
statement that 100 colonies of honey
bees suitably located and properly car
ed for can be expected 20 average a
net production of profit twice as great
as that OF the average 100 acre farm
OF his state can show, while the equip
ment and overhead are less. or course
100 colonies OF bees cannot be pastur-
ed on an average sized farm. but there
are innume-able farms where a dozen
hives of bees could gather 500 worth
OF honey annually.

Mprkevs In Roots

In tropical countries the natives have
many unique ways of catching mon
keys. One OF them. as explained by
a traveller, is this: The hunters walk
about in short boots In sight OF the
monkeys. Then they take the boots
off. place some gum in the bottoms
and leave them on the ground, with
drawing themselves to a great dis
lance, Presently the monkeys come
down from the trees and try on the
boots, and when the hunters come aft
er them the boots stick to the feet OF
the monkeys. and they are unable to
climb. Thus the initiative little ami.
