The Best Part of Beekeeping 
To really enjoy milk anrl cream and 
their various products, you must own a 
cow, anrl to enjoy honey thoroughly in 
all its phases, you must be a beekeeper. 
White or dark, in the comb or out of it, 
liquid or crystallized, delicate aud aro¬ 
matic or full bodied and rich flavor—only 
the beekeeper can pick and choose as 
fancy dictates. Honey is at once a de¬ 
licious and an eminently wholesome sweet 
—sugar in its most digestible (“in¬ 
verted”) form, together with iron, phos¬ 
phorus and other valuable elements, as 
well as vitainines. If. bad a boom during 
the war-time sugar shortage, and un¬ 
doubtedly.made thousands of new friends. 
My experience is that where families can 
buy bulk honey in their own neighbor¬ 
hood, at a moderate price, they soon come 
to count it a daily standby rather than 
a luxury. 
To drip is the nature of honey, and the 
small beekeeper who has no extractor 
will find a continuous cooking supply in 
the big crock where she puts her combs. 
If granulated or mixed with wax, warm 
it over boiling water till it runs freely, 
then strain through a fine sieve. While 
honey is at its best and prettiest in the 
original package, it. is a choice ingredient 
in various puddings, candies and creams, 
and has the valuable property of keeping 
bread and cake fresh and moist. It also 
glorifies a plain dessert, such as farina, 
junket or cornstarch in a very satisfac¬ 
tory way. Raisins, whipped cream and 
honey will turn boiled rice or cracked 
wheat to ambrosia ! 
Oat Raisin Loaf.—tine cup of rolled 
oafs, one-half cup of raisins. 1*4 cups of 
boiling water, one tablespoon or fat, two 
tablespoons of honey, one teaspoon of 
salt. Mix thoroughly, and when luke¬ 
warm add one-half cake of compressed 
yeast dissolved in one-fourth cup of tepid 
water and three cups of flour.

Delicious split and spread with honey.

One quart of thin cream, or egg cus¬ 
tard, mixed with one cup of honey and 
fluvored with rose or bitter almond ex¬ 
tract, makes a delightful ice cream, while 
for a sauce to serve with a plain cream 
there is nothing better than honey.

Individual squash pies, lightly sweet¬ 
ened and topped off with honey and 
whipped cream, are “wonderful.” 
Honey and lemon juice, or honey and 
white vaseline in equal parts, thoroughly 
blended, are excellent remedies for honrse- 
ness or sore throat. And honey, believe 
me. is most soothing in its effect on re¬ 
bellious nerves and fractious tempers. 
Tender, crusty brown bread. October but¬ 
ter and honey is a combination thnt few 
can resist: for, as Grace Allen sings t 
“Is anything better than honey, fra¬ 
grant. sweet and sunny, 
Gathered when days tire warm and bright 
by a hundred thousand hues? 
Is there anything all your money can buy 
that is better than honey 
With the scent of the glowing hearts of 
flowers and a hint of a woody 
breeze?” backet. f. DAHLQKEN.

HOPE FARM NOTES 
Property of Deserted Wife 
My father deserted mother in 1003. 
I am the only child, born in 1882. Since 
mother’s death I am paying all bills and 
taxes, which my income is too small to 
continue. I am told my father has a life¬ 
time right in real estate, anti can claim all 
personal property. He is not spoken of 
in any way in her deeds, excepting he has 
been out of New Jersey since lf)0(>. 
Please advise what there is for me to do. 
One property I could sell if I knew l had 
the right. The other one would be hard 
to sell. My mother made uo will. E. n. 
You do not state whether you are liv¬ 
ing on the property or not, nor who is 
receiving the income from the property. 
There must be some income that wouid 
help to pay the bills and taxes. Perhaps 
if you would consult an attorney in your 
locality, who could carefully examine into 
all the facts, he might be able to cause 
the property to be sold. Title to property 
is sometimes obtained through a sale for 
unpaid taxes. n. t.

Every reader of the Rural New-Yorker should own a copy. Among 
other remarkable tributes is the following: 
Mr. M and I have just finished Hope Farm Notes, 
aud I wish you would express to Mr. Collingwood the 
pleasure that it gave us. We both liked it very much, 
aud rarely do we both like the same book! 
Ohio. M. H. M. 
It is rare that any siugle book will appeal to all members of the 
family This one will because it is filled with kindly feeling and 
human nature. It should be in every country home.
