Proper Way to Keep Honey.

In selling honey as a substitute for
sugar the retail grocer aud his GUS
toners may encounter some difficulty
through lack of knowledge of storing
aud handling this product, according
10 American Food Journal. House.
wives usually put their honey in the
cellar for safekeeping probably the
worst possible place, as honey absorbs
moisture from the atmosphere and
will become thin and in time sour
Comb honey kept in damp place will
be hurt in appearance as well as in
quality. A practicable rule is to keep
honey in any place where salt remains
dry. II honey has granulated or cam
died, put the can containing IL In a
large vessel holding water no hotter
than the hand can be borne In. If
the water is too hot, there is danger
of spelling the color and running the
flavor of the honey. The can of honey
should he supported ON block Of
wood In the vessel Of water, so that
the heat from the stove will not be
too intense.

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.

The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder has
a record of 95 per cent. cures of
Hog Cholera. If you feed your hogs
as directed, you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the directions are very simple,
just about what you are doing, plus
a few cents worth of B. A. Thomas
Hog Powder in the feed twice a
week.
Usually, though, Cholera gets in
before we know it. Then it requires
close attention to each hog-each
hog must be dosed-and if you will
dose them as directed you will save
better than 80 per cent. If you don't
the B. A. Thomas medicine costs you
nothing. We-not some distant man
