the ordiBary cooking-range or cook-stove, 

 osing either ooal or wood, may be used for 

 heating honey preparatory to k»ottling. a 

 gasoline-stove with three burners is far bet- 

 ter — better because the heat ean be pe^rf'-.Ktly 

 tymtroUed. A wood or cjal fire is apt to 

 bum too strongly at one time or go down at 

 another. If the honey be overheated it will 

 ruin it —that is. it will have been scorched 

 or the flavor so impaired that it will .sell at 

 a moderate price : in fact, it will be ateo- 

 Intely unfit for bottling, and would- there- 

 fore, have to be barreled up and sold at a knr 

 price to the large baking concerns wfajcb can 

 use an inferior or off grade of honey. Then 

 it sbonld be said that, on account of the dan- 

 ger from overtieating from a coal or wood 

 stove. M»e a gojgoUw-Ji^jK'f: ^jy oU m/^at'f if you

There are two methods in vogue foj ukux- 

 ing honey to be put in jdass. One is. Xft 

 draw it off from a large can. while eold. into 

 eans or tomblers. and beat while in the bot- 

 tles. The other is. to beat the bcney in 

 bulk, an at onee. in the filling-tank. Ilraw 

 it off into tbe bottles wfaHe hot. and seaL 

 Whne one does or is expecting to do a good 

 basness in bottling, this is the method io 

 follow: jeL on the other haid,if he basoolj

 shallow ^n to set on top of the eook-store. 

 and to hold the botdes while heating. Bat 

 if cne defies to keep the honey Uqaid in ttie 

 hands of the retailer for a ecnaderatfekngth 

 of time, the heatn^-in-bolk method is the 

 better w^, Al»ge qoantity ^ honey in a 

 tank ean be kept hot fur fire or »x boars, at

There are two meiij<j<L> of heating the 

 honey in bulk that we will here describe. 

 either one of which ha^ its special advan- 

 tage: and the reader, after going o^'er tljem 

 can determine which is tlie belter one for 

 him to adopt. The question of first cost of 

 the apparatus wlU have soroe bearing ontije 

 proposition. Tbe one used by 3Ir. Fowls is
