Honey or Butter— Which ? 



So much is being written in farming and 

 dairy journals in regard to tuberculosis 

 (consumption) of cows, and questioning the 

 value — rather the danger— of butter as a 

 food from these diseased sources, that one 

 is naturally led to consider a safer, cheaper 

 and healthier substitute. And where shall 

 we find it except in good, pure honey ? In 

 this substance we may feel perfectly secure 

 from any and all diseases. Its nourishing 

 properties are certainly equal, and for 

 many, greater than that of the best butter. 

 Honey, used in moderation, would prove as 

 palatable, and its possession as practical, 

 and at no greater cost, if not cheaper, than 

 butter. If the price of the cow, feed re- 

 quired, attention needed, and consequent 

 labor in obtaining butter is contrasted with 

 an equal outlay iu space and expense for 

 bees, I believe it will be found that the total 

 in expenditure and income will vary but 

 little, and that in favor of the little work- 

 ers. Let some brother who has gone to 

 school since I have, figure out the problem, 

 and give us the benefit of his deductions. 



Of one fact I feel possessed of — that if 

 this question is presented to the unintimi- 

 dated vote of our children, " honey " will 

 get the grandest nomination and enthusias- 

 tic election ever vouchsafed a candidate for 

 public favor !
