EXTRACTED HONEY.
Crop Report for  December.
The average condition of wheat Dec.
1 was S;; per ccut of condition in average years. This is a gain of four per
cent since November 1, but is 8 percent
below condition Dec. 1, 1894. The
average condition in the southern counties is 7S; central S6; and northern 95.
One year ago the condition in these
sections respectively was 88, 92 and 96,
Snow fell in all or nearly all parts of
the state in sufficient quantity to cover
the ground "November 19 and 20. This
was added to by a storm on the 25th
and 26, and by another on November 30
and December 1. December 2 the average depth in the northern part of the
lower peninsula was about six inches,
and south of this to the south line of
the state about three inches. At this
date Dec. 9, the ground is still well
covered and is not frozen.
The total number of bushels of wheat
reported marketed by farmers since
the- November report was published is
1,195,296, and in the four months, August, September, October and November, 4,118,011. This is 922,356 bushels
less than reported in the same months
last year. The amount reported marketed in November this year is 75,957
bushels more than reported for November 1S64.
The mean temperature of the state
for November was 34.6 or about 1.5 degrees below the normal. Inthe southern counties there was a deficiency of
1.4 degrees, in the central 2.7 degrees
and iu the northern 1.3 degrees.
The average precipitation, including
botn rain and melted snow in the state
was 3.28 inches; in the southern counties 3.82 inches: in the central 3.23, and
in the northern 2.06 inches. Compared
with an average or normal there was
an excess of 0.26 inches in the state, of
0.67 inches in the southern and 0-27
in the central counties and a deficiency
of 0.S5 inches in the northern counties.

The luxurious Romans.
The Romans had no flower shows.
There were "bread and circuses," but
not bread and flowers. The luxurious
Eoman used roses in enormous quantities at his banquets. It was a fine joke
to have roses fall from above on guests,
reclining at their tables, and the flowers
in such quantities as to smother them.
A writer hi The Qnarterlyiecalls a picture of Alma Tadema's "The Bose Feast
of Elagabalus," which shows tha superabundance of roses. To spend on a banquet in roses 4,000,000 sesterces, equivalent to about §180,000, is recorded hy

The Packages Por It—Comparative Merit!
of Barrels, Cans, Fails and Glass Jaxn.
The barrel is the largest package employed for honey, and is used by many
apiarists for keeping their honey in
bulk, but honey is not retailed from a
barrel. Alcohol barrels, are the kind selected and are bought secondhand from
druggists.
Large tin cans, made the size of on
extractor ean, are used by numerous beekeepers to keep their crop of extracted
honey. One of the advantages claimed
for these cans is that they allow the
honey to ripen after it is harvested if
the cans are kept in a warm place. But
the cans have some disadvantages. They
are expensive, not easily transported,
and will rust easily. Charles Dadant,
who finds that a barrel will outlast a
can of the same capacity, writes as follows in The American Bee Journal:
The 00 pound can is nearer to the retailing package than those already mentioned. It owes its reputation to the
fact that a great many grocers are willing to buy it and retail the honey out.
This package is also within the limits
of the purse of well to do consumers.
For this reason we think it is quite
likely that this package will come more
into favor ever day.
The flaring lard pails are a good package, and one of tbe advantages of this
style is that they can be shipped when
empty in a rather comparatively small
compass,owing to their "nesting" inside
one another. We have for 20 years or
more retailed the greater part of our
honey crop in pails. We handle four
sizes, weighing when full 10 pounds, 6,
2}£, and also a small can holding only
I J£ pounds. These are usually weighed
gross, honey and all, and the weight of
the pail helps to pay for its cost It is
with this package that we are able to
reach the masses—the consumers who
are unable to spend much for delicacies,
and who want their money's Worth of
what they buy, "When honey is put up in
attractive shape, thousands of pounds
find their way into the consumer's
hands directly from the producer's
home. We never put up our honey in
cans directly while extracting it, but
transfer it to the cans from the barrels
as occasion requires. It takes a little
more time, but the honey is more clear,
having had time to get rid of the impurities which may be taken out with
the last gallon of liquid honey drawn
or may bo scraped from the surface of
the honey when the barrelful is granulated.
Glass jars are also used for the retailing of extracted honey. We have never
liked this package, owing to the danger
of breakage, the expense and weight of
the glass. Besides when the honey granulates it does not look well in glass.
Our advice to those beekeepers who
wish to try the home market is this:
Put up your honey partly in the 60
pound cans .and partly in barrels, and
fill it into tin cans of different sizes as
occasion requires. To those who wish
to handle the honey but once and sell it
iu a lump on the large markets, we will
give tho advice of £*nlrtinS it all up in
the regular 60 pound can.
Prolific In Governors.
Bellefonte, Pa., which has celebrated
her centennial on a scale commensurate
with the public spirit of lier people, derived her name from a historic spring
famous even in Revolutionary days. But
Bellefonte has likewise been an increasing fountain and wellspring of statesmanship. The county of wliich she is
the center has supplied no less than five
governors to the state, to say nothing of
other dignitaries. And none of her
springs shows any sign of failing.—
