An interesting presentation of the question of adulterated honey is given .11 a recent number of the New York Tribune in answer to a criticism by E. It. Root, tbe well known apiarist, of a former statement. As appears from the Tribune its present argument i-s based largely oil conditions reported in a government bulletin thirteen years ago. Mr. Root in bis letter quoted by the Tribune says: "For further proof we would refer you to Frank lienton, agricultural ex pert at tbe department of agriculture, Washington. Repeatedly has he de nied in tbe government bulletins that there is any such thing as manufac tured comb honey. Liquid honey may be adulterated, but not to the extent that has been represented. In several of our leading states pure food laws have been passed so stringent that there is nothing but pure honey of any kind on the market for sale." Comb Containing tilueose. The following are among points of the Tribune's comments on its original statement: "That some honey is adulterated in the tomb is a fact stated iu part G of bulletin No. 13, issued by the depart ment of agriculture, division of chem istry, Feb. 23, 1892. As the result of a thorough analysis Dr. LI. W. W iley, chief chemist of the department, in that report said: 'Many samples of comb honey containing only glucose have come under my observation, but in all these cases the combs, presum ably after tbe separation of the honey by a centrifugal machine, had been placed in glass bottles and the glucose then added. I have never yet found a _ sample of comb honey sold iu the frame which was artificial except iu the use of comb foundation.' "In the Tribune's article no mention at all was made of comb honey sold in the frame. The exact words used were "honey is also adulterated in the comb,' wliiSh is accomplished, as Dr. Wiley explains, by expelling the honey from the cells by means of whirling it about at a high rate of speed and then plac ing the empty comb in bottles where the glucose is added. Artificial Comb ami Foundation. "That the honeycomb as well as the contents of its cells may be more or less artificial is a well established fact. Dr. Wiley speaks of fifteen patents that have been issued for the manufacture of artificial comb and comb founda tion. It is in these comb foundations, these artificial layers of wax which gome apiarists place In the center of the frame for the bees to build on, that . opportunities are offered for adultera tion. According to Dr. Wiley, no comb foundations have 1 wen obtained by his men In the United States which were found to be adulterated, but he pub lishes a letter from a Canadian chemist which shows that It can be done. The Art of Adulteration. "Xo one says that comb honey can be completely counterfeited. Adulterations are not wholly spurious. Adulterated olive oil is not all cottonseed oil. Comb honey sold 'in tbe frame,' of which the Tribune made no mention, is uniformly pure In this country. Nevertheless, hon ey makers should appreciate that It can only remain so by constant watch | fulness. The art of adulteration is on tbe increase in this country and is aid ed by every new discovery In the sci ences." Point For the Corn Farmer. A strong, rich soil, well cultivated, well watered and well drained, inny (Trow a gooiPerop notwithstanding an amount of Infestation by chinch bugs, root lice, root worms and white grubs, which would be fatal on poor or poorly managed land. The good com farmer may thus escape with a profitable yield uuder Insect attacks which will leave his less intelligent or less careful bntij er in debt after ills crop is harvested. Tills is not merely because the vigor ous plant will easily support an amount R of Injury under which the unthrifty B one will suffer or succumb. It Is an £ established fact that many Insects 3 themselves will not thrive as well or multiply us rapidly on a vigorous, quickly growing plant as on one In feeble condition. —S. A. Forbes, Illinois. Top Ure»*lnic Foraue Crop*. At the New Jersey experiment sta tion tests have been made of nitrate of soda as a top dressing on forage crops In connection with the manures and fertilizers generally used. In all cases a very marked Increase due to the ap plication of nitrate occurred, ranging from 34.1 per cent for corn to !H;.(! per cent for barley—a profitable return from the use of the nitrate on all crops except the barley, which, owing to un favorable weather conditions, did not make a large yield. c A Vuliifiblc* Kar of Corn. The grand champion single ear of corn won more than S2OO iu premiums at Hie lowa corn Judging contest and was sold for sll t » n < 'lilcago com mission man, who will have the corn planted. This remarkable ear of corn was grown by Mr. Ross of Fremont county, la. SAtrlntc the Hurdler Vegetable*. If tlu; weather is normal and the ground can fx- tltteO, almost all vegeta bles of the hard cr sort -such as cab bages, b'ets, celery, lettuce, peas, pars nips, spinach, radishes, turnips, pota toes, onions and parsley may be sown by the middle of April in the garden. A Klee I'olnt of l.ntr. During Queen Victoria's reign one of the solicitors of the queen who bad jurisdiction over capital cases chanced to be u man named Bacon. By a curi ous chance a man named Ilogg was condemned to death under his juris diction. The day before the execution Hogg sent for his executioner, Itacon. The prisoner pleaded for Interference lu his case because of his claims of ro latloushlp to Itacon. The solicitor, al . ways ready with a reply, answered: "I have no proif of our relationship. You are doubtless mistaken. At any rate, the execution must take place, for only lu that way can matters be set right. Hogg Is not Bacon until It is dead." It is said tbe prisoner laughed in spite of himself. Itll'll hloul)-. Ordinarily a great fortune is built up like a stone wall—a stone at a time. The young man who declines to lay tbe first stone because II conies so far short of a wall will never make prog | ress lu financial masonry. An im [ incuse proportion of the people of this country live up to their incomes, lay ing aside nothing for the traditional rainy day. Because tliey cannot save Sl,iw.n» lu a bunch they save nothing. Tbe greatest financial kings of the world have not been above taking care f of the pennies even. The great finan cial Institutions look after even the I' fractions of pennies.—Troy Press. Sot So "Did you tell the lamliord what an I nwful leak there wus In the roof?" "Yes, I told him." "What, did he say?" "He said lie'd fix the roof as soon as you pay the rent you owe." "Did lie? I guess It ain't much of a lijak."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. jftliy Jack Tar. "Jolly" is the word,generally asso ciated with the jack tar. He is the picture of health, and the health bub bles over in mirth and merriment. When people are sick, At®? especially when f sickness attacks the lungs the doctor often advises a sea voyage. But in the large majority of cases the sea voyage It is* to the men and women of the workaday world to whom sea voyages or change of climate are impossible, that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery comes as the medicine upon those whose lungs where there is bron blood, emaciation, weakness, condi tions which if un checked or unskillfullv treated lead tr consumption, "Golden Medical Discov ery " in ninety-eight cases out of a hun dred works a perfect and permanent cure.
