One might infer by the haste with which some of our friends rush into the market with their hone' that it was a perishable article, or that it was a mat ter of life or death that their honey be disposed of at once. Many, arain, have an idea that b getting in a little ahad of their neighbor they will secure bet ter prccs and quicker sales. The facts in the case are directly the reverse, lint very little honey is consumed until the cool weather comes. Customers will buy a taste of new honey and there they stop, and arc satistied, until tho berry, fruit and vegetable crops are out -of they way- Then we may expect a good sale for our honey. For the most satisfactory results in disposing -of -our honey crop, the home market should lirst be taken into con sideration, especially where the crop to lie disponed of is not very large. Honey, like all other commodities, loses in price to the producer the farther from home it goes to lind a consumer. .Large crops, -of course, must seek large markets. At the present we are con sidering only those who have n few hundred pounds to dispose of. Th -re is scarcely a family in the land but can be induced to purchase a few pounds of honey, if oilbrcd to them in the right manner. Our people .are large consumers o sweets The adulteration of sirup has been carried to such an extent they have become disgusted, nauseated with them, -and are in .search of something to Hllthc -want, and now is the time for bee keepers to -lake action and eiler to the people the products of our apiaries.

There is now no indiiivmenl for farmers to produce very large eggs. Small eggs bnng as much as tiioe that are of extraordinary size. In California eggs, like most other ar ticles of tood, are sold by weight and not by number. Th's method of sell hv wrgs suould be introduced in other daces. It would encourage f:u-mers to iccp the breeds of hens that lay the arjrest crjrs. In Paris thev sell eggs by nunilwr. but the dealer sorts tl.em and elisrges according to their size.

While in this section of the countn ii must be lone no Inter than the end of November, in some of tho Southern Mates the time mav be ex tended a month later, while in places where the thermometer does not fall lower than twenty-live degree ahote zero, there is no need to dig up an of these roots at all. as that degree of cold would not injure them.

Between the sections a space of half a foot is left, which is tilled up with soil level to the top. This gives a -ee-tion of roots four feet deep and w.de. and four feet long, each section dividi d from the next by six inches of soil, form ing a series of small fits, bidding from ix to twelve barrels of roots, one ol which ean be taken out without disturb ing the next, which is separated from it bv six inches of soil. ltcr JlauUron - - Aihice to Old Men. Don't presume on your age. Don't be vain of your handsome gray hair and whi-kers. Don't set your.-elf up as models of propriety in public and get full of boo.e in private. Don't think because voung men are young they are fools. They probablv are. but you were young once vourself. Don't say vulgar things before ladies, and excuse yourself on the ground that you are old enough to be their fathers. Don't forget that age must re.-pect itself before it can command it from others. Don't sour the world on von by sour ing v ourselves on the world". Don't fool with temptation. Don't be too wise. Don't try to make love. The old fools are the bigge-st fool.-. Dont let your love of the world make you forget that a man never gets too old to die. Don't try to be a boy. Your grand sons will attend to that part of the busi ness. Philadelphia News. A singular fatality was the death of Louis Mevers, a Long Island butcher, who was found a few days since locked up in his ice-box and literallv frozen to death. It i.s suppo-ed that he entered the ice-box for the purpose of cooling off, and the door closing upon him with 1 a spring lock, his cries for assistance werj unheard, lius is certainly an anomalous kind of death to occur in this climato and in the torrid weather we have been enduring; but it is not with out precedent. A few years since a Third avenue lager beer seller came to j death in precisely the same way. A". Y. Hour. Colombia Itlver Canorry.
