We want anim.ils to show off our fence, persistent 

 fighters for "liberty," whose war cry shall be "up and 

 at 'em" again. We bought a Jersey bull, "highly 

 recommended" for the position, but two rounds satis- 

 fied him. and neither dogs or red rags could induce 

 him to give the Page Fence another trial.

from different makers. I have purchast of 

 the Dadants that which came out almost, 

 or quite, as tender and delicate as the nat- 

 ural comb. From other sources I have 

 sometimes procured and used that which 

 when cut. upon the table, was strongly sug- 

 gestive of India rubber, or leather, in 

 toughness or density. Still, it is true, as 

 the editor remarks, concerning adultera- 

 tion, that " comb honey can take care of 

 itself." 

 I It seems evident that boney-producing is 

 steadily and surely growing less profitable 

 as a business thau it has been in the past. 

 In most localities the prices quoted by 

 dealers in the larger markets cut figures. 

 The producers of comb honey seldom rea- 

 lize much more than half the advertised 

 market rates (net). Extracted honey (pure) 

 is very low, while adulteration is spoiling 

 the demand for real honey. For some years 

 there has been a sort of '■ boom " in honey- 

 production, but it will soon be alongside of 

 celery and sugar beets, which are fast be- 

 coming little, if any, better than turnips or 

 10-cent potatoes, and other garden and 

 farm products under "gold standard" 

 money measure. Albert Baxter.
