Purchasers soon loarn where tli best vegetables come from and ar quick to demand the produce of farn ers they can rely upon. Growers should become familisi with the conditions and preference Cucumbers Well Packed. of tlio market on which they expec to place their produce. The marko ing of all kinds of farm stuff is on of the most important if not the inos important part of the business. If one is unable to visit the hi markets one should write to commi: slon merchants and ask for all the ii formation possible regarding what i wanted in the way of selection an packing of fruit and vegetables. Con mission dealers would rather hand I good, salable stuff than poorly packe and unsightly produce, and are alwa.v ready to help growers to present thei products in the most attractive nun n rtr It is also a. good plan for amatcu growers, vim have not shipped to tli general markets, to first visit th farms of successful growers and lear fjiji Nicely Packed Cabbages. by observation bow produco shoul bi picked, graded, and parked in o dor to bring the best prices.

I'robal y not one person in 1,000 is in any dinger from bee stings and the results kre rarely serious. The beekeepers sliould unite in developing what is undoubtedly a very profitable industry, though ono which is unknown to many and which has never been thoroughly tested for its value by our people. NEWSPAPERS TO BAR RABBITS ! Young Trees Saved From Depredations of Destructive Little Animals by Paper. (Tly A. J. I.KCIO.) A few years ago I set out some young * apple trees and before I knew it the ? rabbits had peeled several of them so ilr badly that they died. 1 went into the field with a gun and could see five or K six rabbits at n time disappearing at *" the far side of thr> field. It was usel" less to undertake to defend tlie trees 8 with a gun, so I procured some old newspapers and a ball of twine. I wrapped the trees with the paper as '' far up the bodies of the trees as rabbits eould reach and tied them secure8 ly with twine. The pap?T stayed on the trees all right for the remainder l" of the winter and the trees were not | damaged any more by rabbits. This r | plan worked well for small trees, but ? I do not know that it would do so ? well for large ones. I wrapped the n paper pretty well with the twine from the bottom to the top. Alfalfa Honey. Alfalfa honey is white and clear, in an extremely delicate comb, has a delicious flavor and a nfcst delightful aroma A report froin*\jffe of the alfalfa districts of the west tells of a single hive that contained nearly 200 pound? and of another having 9G pounds. The owner of these bees hn/I^_ 25 acres of alfalfa, while the average yield in the cast is said to vary from 15 to 30 pounds, :i much larger amount Is gathered In the alfalfa teritories. (j Thus the financial returns of alfalfa may be greatly Increased and in some instances doubled by having two coloi( nies of bees for each acre. Or if only a part of the alfalfa raisers in a neighI horhood keep bees this ratio could bo . doubled or trebled by those who do. , I'tilike other trespassers on neighbors' , fields, the boos do a distinct favor by fertilizing the alfalfa.
