 unloading and shipping 

 they will be much hand-

 tainers. 



Where wooden cases 

 are used we advise using 

 carriers. These are no- 

 thing more nor less than 

 laige crates capable oi 

 holiling from ten to a 

 dozen cases of honey. 

 Before they are put into 

 the carrier, five or six 

 inches of straw are 

 strewn on the bottom of 

 the crate, and the cases

piled on top. Two handles projecting from 

 each end enable the freight-handlers to pick 

 them up and load them in the car or on 

 trucks. The object of the straw in the bot- 

 tom of the crate is to cushion the honey 

 piled on top of it; and by making this car- 

 rier large enough so that it will contain ten 

 or twelve cases, it makes it impossible for 

 the freight - han- 

 dlers to toss or 

 throw it. 



When single 

 cases of honey are 

 sent by express 

 they are almost 

 sure to be broken 

 down, no matter

 or the old - style 

 cases are used.

importance of using the cai- 

 riers shown, page 129. How- 

 ever, when one ships a whole 

 carload of comb honey it is not 

 necessary to use a carrier, pro- 

 vided tire producer does his 

 own loading. In that case he 

 will strew several inches of 

 straw^ or hay on the bottom of 

 the car, and then pile up his 

 cases in rows. Between some 

 of the rows it is advisable to 

 jam in straw to afford an addi- 

 tional cushion to prevent the 

 honey from being broken down 

 when the car bumps.
