 all ut of tht- hands of i>roducers; but as honey is only 

 used as a flavoring for glucose there is sufficient on 

 hand for that purpo.se, and as the compounding of 

 glucose and honey is very profitable at present prices

 comb honey. E. H. Schaeffle,

Read what a correspondent says: "We may obtain 

 soiie eggs for winter use without feeding cut bone, 

 but by its use we can materially increase the nam tier. 

 The owner of a hundred hens is losing the price of a 

 good cuti er every winter by depriving them of the ma- 

 terial which he would be able to furnish at a very 

 small cost. We have discovered that for early hatched 

 chicks ii is iiidispensab:e. To raise strong, healthy, 

 vigorous chicks a substitute must be found to take the 

 place of the bugs, worms, etc.. on which th^y thiiv .so 

 well later in th season. A miner 1 substance is also 

 necessary for hardening the frame of the growing 

 chick; and experiments have proved that chicks fed on 

 green cut boneaie never subj ct to leii weakness. 

 But it i-. as a winter feed for laying hens that we de- 

 rive the greatest profit from it."
