As soon as comb hom-y Is sealed re move It from tlie bive, scrape all sec tions clean of propolis, then put It di rectly Into shipping cases and close tight. Keep it in n warm room till time to sell, never allowing It to freeze, as freezing It cracks tlie comb, says The Farmer, and when warmed again It begins to leak out, making u misty, danby mess. Be sure your shipping case Is tight, no that ants, millers or Hies cannot get In. Do not put honey in a cellar, as the dampness bursts the cuppings, the honey grows thin, loses Its tlavor and leaks out, while If stored In a dry room It will Improve and thicken. Never pack two colors of honey to gether or mix it in the shipping cases Keep the white honey by Itself for a better price. Be very careful not to pack any sec tion of honey having a single cell of pollen in It, for It surely will have an . egg from a mottt miller In It, which will hatch out a big ugly worm to spoil the honey. If you haven't shipping cases ready to pack the honey In as soon as taken off the hives, then store it in the supers In a dry, warm room, tiering them up as high as you can reach. After two weeks fumigate with sulphur to kill any moth worms that may be hatching. Also repeat the fumigntiou once In two .weeks till cold weather. Ship all comb honey to market before freezing weather if possible. Stock For Breeding. A word about selecting breeding stock. It is doubtful If there Is any branch of the poultry Industry that re quired so much good judgment as the selecting of the breeding stock, as they ore the foundation of the industry. Fure-bred poultry practically has two values. A bird that has nice feather markings, although deficient in real . business qualities, has a value with the fancier for exhibition. But the bird that Is not so nicely marked, if plump and a good layer, is likely to make the best breeder, and is the bird that has the real business value. For whore there Is one bird sold for exhibition purposes there are 10.(H)0 sold for what they will produce in the way of poultry and eggs. I admire birds with nice feather markings. But with my twenty-five years' experience in raising poultry and eg.es for market I have found that the highest scoring birds do not always make the most profitable breeders. A bird to be a good, profitable breed er should have a medium-sized and in telligent looking head, short beak, large comb and wattles (as they show health nil vigor); short neck, broad back, broad, plump, full breast, medium short legs, wide apart, body medium length and not too deep, and with yellow skin. Birds of this type as a rule are good breeders and good layers, and as dressed poultry they command the highest market price. J. Alonzo Jocoy, In the Massachusetts Ploughman. Seetlleaa Kruiti. The common belief is that the seed less orange was originally a freak fruit that oppenred in Southern California. Jbe real truth is, however, that the world is indebted for it to the United States Department of Agriculture. It is said that United States Consul Will iam F. Judson, at Bahia, Brazil, heard of seedless orange trees that grew some distance away from Bahia. He ob tained cuttings from the trees, and sent them to the Agricultural Department at Washington. .The department nur tured the sprouts carefully, and In time was able to send buds from them to several orange growers. Some of the growers grafted the buds upon seedling stock. A California fruit grower was the first to produce the seedless orange. From him other grafts were obtained, until at length the old seedling orange groves were either cut down or re 'grartod Wth the seedless kind. Fruit growers who study their busi ness scientifically know that seed Is produced in a fruit through fructifica tion by the yellow pollen or flower dust that appears so abundantly upon the stamens of flowers. If the pollen could be kept away from the stigma of a fruit flower, might It not be that the fruit would still grow while the forma tion of needs would be prevented? On that theory scientific apple, cherry, grape and plum growers have been (working patiently and quietly. In In diana, n woman farmer, Mrs. Mary K. Grosh, of Noblesvllle, lias been entlenv oring to develop a seedless tomato, and has at length succeeded. The fruit Is uncommonly fine from these seedless tomato slips. In general, It appears that where the strength of the plant has not to go to the growing of seed the fruit is of superior quality. In Colorado, similarly, John F. Spen cer, shortly after the seedless orange had come to slay, began working over the problem of bringing out a seedless apple. lie now announces that he has attained his object. The seedless ap pie bus at the end opposite the stem a slight hard formation somewhat like that In a navel orange, but no seeds. Oddly enough, or perhaps It might have been expecled, the seedless apple tree does not lrtve petalled blossoms The apples gro'v out from tittle bud like the calyx of a flower. But It would be a pity if apple blossoms should be done away with' A California fruit grower, Luther r.urbank, lias for some years been try Ing to get seedlefs plum.''. He lias suc ceeded to a great degree, but not en tlrely. It Is odd that the plum seed 1 still retained, though Its tinny coating has been nearly abolished. Mr. Bur bank believes that he will he able, af ter nwblle, to get plums ihtit are all pulp. Progress has been achieved also In the direction of stoneless grape growing, notably In Ohio. As fast as the growers develop anything new they report It to the penological department at Washington. Mr. Spencer has sent a number of his seedless apples there. The best news of all, however, will probably be that a seedless Georgia watermelon has been brought out as the result of long and patient effort. A Southern watermelon without seeds would be tlie perfection of fruits. As far as they have progressed the melon experimenters have obtained n fruit containing only n few seeds. It seems only a question of time when we shall buy In the markets all these fruits In a seedless state. Christian at Work. Ilrlna to Beginners. There Is a vast difference between a man who peddles poultry and one who breed it. To be sure we have both, but I truly believe that for the good of the poultry Industry we should, by some means or other, drive every poul try peddler from the business. I am not speaking now ef the buck ster, whose business it Is to sell and buy poultry for market, but I refer to the persons who buy birds from other breeders and then peddle ihem from place to place under the name of tho breeder of s'.H'h and such a variety. I can not see what glory a man derives from such a business. There may be some consolation in the fact thnt lie "beats" the other fellow at the shows. but what good does Uint do the great poultry fraternity? Here is a man who has spent years In bringing a breed of fowls to a high place in the poultry world, and when thnt man wins he has n heartfelt satis faction that he deserved all he got Can the peddl , say so much? I realize that I nm on debatable ground, but I believe It Is a cause that needs wise handling. Suppose I send to a prominent breeder and buy n fine cock, take him to New York, nnd ho wins. Who, then, is the real winner, myself or the man from whom I bought the birds? And is it right to show a bird that you did not rais,, or that does not have the blood of your own strain In It ns being your own? Here is a man who sells eggs to a man who In turn hatches and raises a lot of line birds, and when fall conies round the man who sold the eggs buys the birds nnd exhibits tlwni; in this caw the birds are rightly his own; they came from his yards directly; they have tils blood in them. I can see nothing wrong in such work. I must say that It Is little wonder that much of the wind Is taken out of the sails of the beginners when we come to see that it does not menn much to buy birds that will win. It then bo comes not so much a matter of who has the best skill In rearing poultry; not so much in the business for the pleasure one derives from being nble to raise fine birds as It Is to make money, by buying nnd selling them. It has been my observation that these "peddlers" soon grow tired of their own game. Just so soon as the money end of the business begins to lag that soon they seek some other business. But not so wllh the true fancier. He is in the work for what pleasure there is in It, and the money part becomes a secondary matter. A man who is now a prominent fan cier once stood on the floor of a big show just after the ribbons had been placed, and not seeing first come to his coop, said: "I nm going home to work harder than ever, and the fellows will find out (hat I can win yet." How did he do it? By buying the best bird In the land? No. By going into his breed ing yards and mating with care tho best birds he had nnd following it up till the result was birds that would win. That man to-day finds much pleasure In what he has accomplished, and more than that, he finds a great deal of money in his wallet. The world will reward a true man. Let him who will peddle, but as for me I want to have it said that what I show is mine and not Tom Jones" bird. Go It, then, my dear beginners. There Is much room at the top. If yon want to be a huckster, be one, but if a true fancier, be one, and I surely believe that every lover of fine birds will give you the welcome hand when once yon put your foot on the top round of the ladder.

The Champion is a very early grape, hardy, a strong grower and very pro line, of good size ami handsome clus ters. Hence, where the fruit can bo marketed, they arc very profitable, in section where the seasons are very short they may, perhaps, be the only variety that will ripen, and although they are not desirable for cntlug, where belter ones can be readily pro duced, they may be the best for that section. I have made more money out of growing Champion grapes than I ever did out of nny other kind. Hut now they are so well known they dc not sell so well and are not profitable. The berries often shell off the bunch soon after they are picked. But the most objecllonablo feature Is their foxy smell mm taste, and yet there nro many people who do not dislike the quality. It.

Place a small pipe in the bottom ns shown in the cut, connecting tlie apples with Hit outside air. .Arrange a similar pipe at the top. This will produce a current of nlr through the entire pile.

In Mistakes nnd Failures, under tho bead of "Renovating nn Orchard," P. II. Fuss says: "When I bought my farm four years ago tlie apple orchard was in n terrible condition, some of tlie trees being a mass of tangled branches from top to bo'om. Tlie neighbors said it had borne no apples since it was planted. As soon ns 1 had moved I hired n man and we set to work to trim It out some, and we hauled brush out of that orchard lu good condition and we have gathered two crops of apples from it, while .before It was trimmed there were none. So I feel amply, repaid for all that I spent on the orchard. This Is the season when the profit or loss of nn orchard Is con sidered. When the balance is on tlie loss side it becomes a question wheth er it hns not been caused by neglect of proper pruning. Should this be so. make note of it for winter's work. An orchard should never be allowed to gel lu such n condition thnt cart loads of brush need cutting, away. Orchard trees do not need much heavy prtui ing, or ought not to. The trees should be gone over yearly, and small branches cut out that evidently ore in the way of being where they are not wanted. Trees do not need much pruning except to shnpen them. It if n mistake to think that whether or nc they must be pruned yearly. It Is a good deal better plan to let them grow os they will, excepting in the way al ready indicated. A short time ago picking tip on old volume of the Gar dener's Monthly, an article was met with from one who claimed to have had hnd serious Injury occur to his or chard from having pruned It heavily In early winter. He believed that in some way the freezing nnd cohl of winter had found the orchard less pre pared to stand it than would have been tlie case had ho not pruned It before tlie close of winter. One would hard ly look for Injury in such a case. Gar deners are well aware than at ever green hedge around a garden will suf fer if pruned early in winter." This comes from .the sudden exposure of the Inside twigs to light and air and freezing. They are tender and cannot stand the cold. But, ns said. In the case of orchard trees, it would not be thought there would be any grounds for fearing harm. Were it summer time and a heavy pruning was done. Injury would then follow, because of the sudden loss of so much foliage. Practical Farmer. Author of Standard Time.
