since the former la lacking both in
sweetening power and mineralswhile
the latter contains too much lime, add
ed during the refining process, to be
wholesome.
"As an additional benefit," Mr. Scul
len declares, "honey is the only com
mercial sweet now known to contain
vitamines, those important food ele
ments we have been reading so much
about lately. On top of all this there
is that flavor and aroma nature's own
breath in every spoonful."
Slugs Are In Celery
Slugs are very common in celery
bunches, being especially harmful after
the blanching boards have been placed
up alongside of the plants. They get
into the heart of the celery and ren
der it unusable by eating the outside
edges of the stalks. Many of these
pests may be killed by spreading a thin
layer of poisoned bait, made by sprink
ling 1 pound of old lettuce, finely chop
ped, with 1 ounce of calcium arsenate
(arsenate of lime), on the ground
along the celery rows.
; HON EY IS ABOUT LIMIT
. OF GOODNESS IN SWEETS i
"How often in our made scramble to
; improve "on nature's products we have
been compelled to admit, in the end,
that we have sacrificed one point to
gain another, and made little pro
I gress," says H A'. Scullen, bee special-'
jist at O. A. C. "In few cases is this
j more true than it is in our effort to
find a substitute for-nature'! own
sweet honey." -- '
In addition' to having a greater
sweetening ' power than granulated
sugar, it contains . the much needed
minerals which are all but removed
.entirely from the sugar as it "Is re
finedaccording to the bee man. - It is
far superior to com syrup or molasses.
Farm Reminders
Celery, if being blanched at this time
of year, should not be allowed to stand
letween the boards long after it Is fit
for use. After the- chlorophyll of the
stalk has been 'changed to a yellow or
white, depending on the variety color,
the quality, brittleness and flavor be
gins to be lost. Three weeks is usual
ly the length of : time -required to
blanch the stalks, although this time
may be shorter or Jonger depending on
the weather. ..." v
-
-. Barnyard manure, particularly horse
manure, heats up rapidly, with a loss
of the valuable plant food element nit
rogen, in the form of amonia. This
loss can be prevented almost entirely
by scattering a handful of land plaster
or superphosphate in the gutter behind
each animal, each day. Superphos
phate in addition to preventing the
loss of ammonia .will re-enforce the
manura with phosphorus in which it is
low. Many of our soils are, in need of
available . phosphorus.

Bees - "
" i v
, The queen bee mates with the drone
or male bee on the wing. Her matings
are not under the control of the bee
keeper except as he makes it possible
to have a supply of good drones and
limits the supply of poor ones. " The
time, apparently. Continued success
in honey production is not an accident.
It is a combination of good bees, good
bee-keeping," good equipment and good
location. "
Eliminate European foulbrood and
cross bees by replacing all inferior
queens with good Italian queens. It
will be one of the biggest steps toward
success.
SURPRISE CONTESTS
ARE VERY EFFECTIVE
Remarkably Good Results Shown
in Western Cities.
Milk Dealer Dislikes to Be Surprised
With Dirty Product on His Wagon.
Especially When Results
Are Published.
(Prepared by the United Btatei Department
. of Af ricnlture.)
Surprise milk contests contests in
which the milk sold by various deal
ers in a city Is compared by taking
samples occasionally without warning
have been very effective in improving
the milk supply of many cities. Con
tests of this kind carried out with the
assistance of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture have shown re
markable results in a number of west
ern cities. The "bacterial counts and
the total milk scores for the cities were
made up from the results of tests of
samples from each of the delivery sys
tems. .
In Long Beach, Calif, the average
bacterial count in the first contest was
118,238; in the last contest it was
down to 11,823. In the first the aver
age score of the milk sold there was
71.56, and in the last it Was up to 90.67.
The milk sold in Riverside, Calif., im
proved in bacterial count from 101,500
to 8,522, and rose in score from" 82.93
to 93.63. Los Angeles dealers, as a
result of these surprise contests, made
great improvement in. the quality of
the milk supply, bringing down the
count from 84,169 to 12,690 and rais
ing the score from 80.60 to 91.65. The
figures of Portland, Ore., changed from
148,490 to 13,970, and from 76.19 to
92.52. The number of bacteria in a
cubic centimeter of Seattle milk was
brought from 64,124 down to 31,297,
and the score was lifted from 80.50 to
88.24. - .
A milk dealer does not like to be sur
prised with dirty mHk on his wagons.
especially when the results of the tests
are to' be published in the local papers.
When his score goes up he finds the
number of his customers going up
when the bacterial count increases he
finds an increase in the number of ex
customers.

Use Doan's Kidney Pills, :
Here's Oregon City testimony.
Verify it if you wish:
Mrs. Emma Wilkinson, 1207 Main
St., says: "I used Doan's Kidney Pills
for back and kidney trouble and re
ceived great relief. Doan's are an ex
cellent kidney remedy "and I am glad
to endorse them for the lasting re
lief they gave me." (Statement given
April 4, 1913.)
On April 20, 1920, Mrs. Wilkinson
said: "1 gladly confirm all I said in
favor of Doan's Kidney Pills. I know
they are as good as represented."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim
ply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. Wilkinson had. Foster-Milburn

INHALING ja IMPURE AIR
Average Man Breathes Eighteen Cubic
Feet of Air Per Hour
22,400,000,000 particles of suspended
matter are inhaled in every 24 hours
Dy tne average Londoner, says the Gas
Age-Record.
On account of the coal strike and
consequent lessened use of coal the
air was so much purer that many Eng-
iisn cities were "almost unrecognis
able." "Our greatest hope for a Dure atmos
phere" lies in the Gas company's ef
forts to "extend the use", of gas.
In addition, therefore, to the self
ish satisfaction in omitting chores and
dirt, there is the patriotic, unselfish
duty of not befouling the air which
one's neighbors breathe. The Gasco
furnace is indeed a blessing, and in
expensive to run, at that Adv.
