A Short Homey Crop.

Honey will be high this year. The three leading honey producing states, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, have absolutely no honey at all, and in many parts of these states the beee are being fed on sugar to keep them from starving Last year California sent honey to the east by the car-load; this year they have hardly enough for home consumption.
