Some think that the cause of honey becoming watery is due to the bees not having thoroughly ripened it before Bealing it, but if they used thought on the subject, they must see the fallacy of such an idea. Whether ripened or not, the honey can only ooze from the cells after being capped on account of a larg? er bu?k of liquid being in the cell after? ward than there was at the time the bees sealed thecell. This can come from only one souir?'wfoch?s always brought about by either cold, damp weather or a noncircxdation of air, or both. Honey ..swells wiry aait becomes damp, and the : first tbifc wig-be seen of that dampness will be in the unsealed cells where the honey will have become so thin that it will stand out beyond the cells, or in other words the ceils will be heaping fulL If the dampness remains, the sealed honey w?l soon become transparent, while the honey from the unsealed1-ceils will com? mence to run ont, daubing everything below it, and eventually, if the cause is not removed, the capping of the cells will burst, and the whole will become a souring mass. When I began to keep bees I stored my honey in a tight room on the north side of the house, where it usually re? mained from four to six weeks before crating for market. In crating this honey I always found the center and back side of the pile watery and trans? parent in appearance. As that which ? was 8tored"nrst was always the worst, 1 thought it must be owing to that being the poorest or least ripened, until one : year I chanced to place this early honey by itself in a warm, dry, airy room, when to my surprise I found upon rrating it that this first honey had kept perfectly, while the later honey stored in the old room was as watery as ever. This gave me the clew, to the whole mat? ter; so when ? built my present honey room I located it in the southwest cor? ner of the building I call 'my shop," and painted the south and west sides a dark color to absorb the heat of the mid? day and afternoon sun. On two sides of fh?* room I fixed platforms for the honey. The sections were so piled on these plat? forms that the air could. circulate all through* the whole pile, even if it reached the top of the room. During the afternoons of August and September the temperature of the room would often be raised to nearly or quite 180 degs*, which would warm the pile of hojaey tcTnekrly that degree of heat; and as" this large body of -honey once heated retained the same for some length of time, the temperature of the room would often be from 80 degs. to 90 degs. in the morning after a warm day, when it was as low as from 40 degs. to 60 degs. out? side at 6 o'clock a. in. By this means the honey was being ripened each day, and that in the unsealed cells became thick?: and thicker, when by Sept. 15 or 20, or after being in the room from four to seven weeks, the sections could be tipped over, or handled in any way de? sired, without any honey running from even the unsealed cells that might happen tc be around the outside of the section. By having the door and window open on hot windjy days the air was caused to c?rcu?ate-free?y through tfce~pfl% wt?en l tvsnd that it took less time to thoroughly ripen the honey than it did where all was kept closed. In doing this, of course it is necessary to provide screens, so as to keep flies and bees out of the honey room. If I wish to keep honey so late in the fall that the rays of the sun fail to keep the room sufiiciently hot, or should I desire to keep it into the winter, orar any time when the tem? perature of the room falls below 70 degs. while the honey is in the room, I build a fire in the room, or use an oil stove to heat it up to the proper temperature of from90degs. to. 100degs.- In this way honey can be kept* perfectly for nn in? definite period, and can always be put upon the market in the very best condi? tion. Keeping irish Potatoes. The North Carolina experiment station calls the attention of southern farmers to a method for keeping Irish potatoes in edible .condition after March 1, pub? lished by the French minister of agri? culture zn ah official bulletin. This method of preservation consists in plung? ing ihtf tabers, before storing them away, for ten hours into a 2 per cent solution of commercial sulphuric acid in water-two parts of acid to 100 parts of water. The acid penetrates the eye to the depth of about one-fortieth of an inch, which serves to destroy their sprouting power; it does not have any appreciable effect upon the skin of the potatoes. After remaining in the liquid ten hours the tubers must be thorough? ly dried before the storing away. The same liquid may be used any number of times with equally good results. A bar? rel or tank of any kind will do for the treatment The acid is so diluted it does uot affect the wood. Chemical analysis shows that potatoes treated by this process are as nutritious and health? ful after eighteen months as when fresh? ly dug, but they are, of course, worthless for planting. _ Agricultural Briefs. According to the Haine state board of agriculture 60 per cent, cf that state's population are farmers and the product of their land and labor is worth over $20,000.000. Official returns make the total yield of all cereals in the German empire at about 5 per cent, less than usual. The New Jersey state bo;ird of agri? culture reports the average yield per acre this year of wheat at 15? bushels: rye, 14$, and oats, 30 bushels. Illinois giT. es a bounty of two cents on English sparrows killed. The omou crop is counted a valuable one in the state of Connecticut. It was agreed at the Florida World's fair convention to raise the sum of $100. 000.

Rembert, Tuesday, Feb. 2. Hagood, Wednesday, Feb. 3, Stateburg, Thursday, Feb. 4. And at the Auditor's office iu Sumter on all other days, from Jan. 1st until February 20(h, inclusive. The law r?quires that all persons owning property, or in any wise having charge of such property, either as agent, 'husband, guardian, trustee, executor, administrator, &c, return the sime under oath to the Auditor, who requests all persons to be prompt in making their returns and eave the 50 per cent, penalty, which will be added to the property valuation of all persons who fail to nuke returns within the lime pre? scribed by law. A good way for the taxpayer who has much property to return, is to make a mem? orandum of the number of horses, cattle, mules, sb*ep and goats, hogs, watches, or? gans ?nd pianos, budgies wagons and car? riages, dogs, merchandise, machinery, mon? eys, notes and accounts (above indebtedness) furniture, &c, which wiU save the taxpayer time and ?cable the assessor to progress in the work. Taxpayers reurn what they own on the first day of January, 18S 2. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separate return for esch party for the township the property is in, and where the taxpayer owns realty to insert the postofSre as their place of residence, and those who only own personal property to give the party's name who owns ?he land they live on as their residence, which ?ids the taxpayer as well as the ounly treasurer in making the collection and preventing errors. Every male citizen between the apes of twenty-one and fifty years on the first day of January, 1992, except those incapable of earning a support from being maimed, or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. AU returns that are made after the twen? tieth day of February next have to be placed on the additional list and fifty per cent, pen? alty addeel thereto, unless prevented by sick? ness or out of the countv during the time of listing. Not knowing the time of listing is no excuse. And all owners of real estate might do their tenants who cannot read or take a newspaper, a great favor by making their return8or telling thim th' time of list? ing, and that if they foil to make tVir re? turns in time that the valuation has to be increased fifty per cent, unless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting of taxes is all done now in the same year, nnd we have to aggregate the numV>er and v-?lue of all the hurse?, cattle, mules, Ac, as well as the acres of land, lets and buildings ami their value, that there is in the county, and have same on file in the Comptroller General's office by the thirtieth day of June each year. And from that time to the first day of October each year the auditor's and treasurer's duplicate has to be completed and an abstract of the work in the Comptroller's office by that time, which will show at a glance that the auditor has no time to take in returns, or do any? thing else much, between the first day of March and the first day of October each year, but work on the books and blanks. There? fore hope that ul! taxpayers will do us the fa?or of making their returns in time. PETE Ii THOMAS, Dec 9. Auditor Sumter County MACHINE SHOP.
