"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. SUMMONS.

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.
