_Selling the Product._--Honey can be marketed in the comb or in glass jars in the extracted or crystal form. Many suburban beekeepers dispose of their crop in their own neighborhood or at roadside stands. Many food products are being promoted which contain honey as one ingredient, and this opens an attractive field to the resourceful beekeeper. The healthful qualities of honey for human consumption are being given greater recognition and it appears that the market for locally produced honey of high quality is steadily expanding. _Do's_ Fruit trees should be included in every country homeowner's plan. Be sure varieties are such as will yield, plentifully, good quality fruit. Use bush fruits as ornamentals and sources of food to be put in cans. Seek advice on fruit problems from the state agricultural college. Old orchards may be rejuvenated under proper systems of management. Use colonies of bees to pollinate fruit blossoms and to produce honey. Begin bee husbandry in a small way at first and get advice from experienced bee culturists. Sell surplus honey in home markets. _Don'ts_ Don't plant varieties of fruits that are ill adapted to climatic conditions. Don't overlook the necessity of preparing for insect attacks in advance of appearance. Don't establish bee colonies without making sure that proper care of them can be taken. Don't try to practice horticulture or bee husbandry without frequently obtaining expert advice. _Chapter_ IX POULTRY AS A SOURCE OF INCOME The majority of the owners of small farm properties are interested in the possibilities of poultry keeping as a means of adding to the family income. Efforts in this direction are logical from a number of angles. For example, the keeping of poultry appeals to them as an interesting line of work for the sake of the activity itself. Furthermore, the cost of housing a comparatively large number of laying hens is not expensive, as compared with the investment required in other agricultural enterprises. Again, there is a ready market for the eggs and for the poultry in the neighborhood where the enterprise is carried on. No doubt, too, the more or less fabulous stories of easy profits have stimulated a desire to get into this business and to make it a rather important source of income. Again, there is the thought that the work involved in feeding and caring for the flock can be carried on by another member of the family when the owner or principal bread-winner is engaged in some other activity temporarily.
