Honey In Place Of Sugar.

The simplest way of using honey Is
to serve 1t like jam or strip with
bread, breakfast cereals, boiled rice,
pancakes, and other mild-favored
foods. AS ordinarily used on bread.
an ounce of honey spreads" as many
slices as an ounce Of jam. When 1t
is to be used in the place Of strip
some people dilute II by mixing 1t
with hot water, which has the effect
Of making It not only less sweet but
also easier to pour.
Honey or mixture Of honey and
sugar strip can be satisfactorily used
for sweetening lemonade and other
ffuit drinks. Sirup Of any kind Is
more convenient for this purpose than
undissoled sugar, and when charged
water Is to be added 1t has a further
advantage, since 1t has less tendency
to expel the gas.
The fact that honey consists prin-
cipally of sugar and water and ID
slightly acid suggests that It u q suit

other war relics, old looms, spinning

Ribbons for Prizes.
Experience has proved that the
awarding of money prizes not only
makes the cost of a. fair prohlbitive,
but, by placing the emphasis on money
instead of ON the honor of achieve
ment, defeats the purpose Of the fair.
The best results have been obtained
where ribbons have been awarded, the
color of the ribbon denoting the grade
Of the prize. If money is available
for printing the ribbons, each one
should be so printed as to show the
occasion, place, and date. Awards
should be made on the basis of the
excellence of the exhibit, and no pre-
MUM should be awarded to a poor
exhibit. Accordingly, for the informa-
ton of exhibitors, it is well to publish
for each class of exhibits the require
ments that are to be considered by the
judges in awarding premiums.
The arrangements of county fairs
are beginning to realize the value of
the community exhibit as a factor In
making the county fair serve its pur-
pose as an agricultural exhibition.
Liberal premiums have been offered
for these community exhibits, either
in cash or in such form as to be Of
community use, as, for example, ref
erence books on agricultural subjects
to be kept in the community library, a
watering trough conveniently located,
or drinking fountain. One state has
recently passed a law providing for
the holding of community fairs and
appropriating money for the purpose
of packing community exhibits and
transporting them to the larger fairs.

PROVIDING BINS FOR WHEAT
Suitable Storage Houses May Be Nee
essary on Many Farms to Save
Large Crops This Year.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Farmers In sections where the acre
age of wheat is unusually large are
urged by the department of agriculture
to provide enough bins on the farm
to take care of their wheat when
thrashed. This Is said to be neces-
sary to save the wheat that will prob
ably pile up in certain localities, be-
cause the large crop is likely to put
heavy strain on storage elevators
and transportation systems. The
wheat should be stored in bins on the
farm, according to the bureau of mar
kets, which has issued circular con-
tanning plans and drawings for port
able bin that can be quickly built.
Copies of this circular have been dis
tributed to county agents throughout
the large wheat-producing sections.
