that has come to Medina ; and to see 

 the ordinary honey that is shipped to 

 market, which otherwise might have 

 been No. 1 and " Fancy ", all mixed up 

 in the cases — cases soiled, sections un- 

 scraped — well, it is enough to make 

 one's heart ache. Then the producer 

 of such honey, when he gets his re- 

 turns, complains because they are be- 

 low the market as quoted in the jour- 

 nals ; and he thinks his commission 

 man is dishonest, when the fact is the 

 whole trouble is with himself. If he 

 had taken a day or two to scrape and 

 properly grade the honey, he could 

 have earned anywhere from S25 to $100 

 a day in the larger returns secured for 

 thai same honey. A little No. 2 or off- 

 grade honey put in with No. 1 and 

 *' Fancy ", puts the whole easeful down 

 to the price of No. 2. 



We have received several lots of such 

 honey, and, rather than make poor re- 

 turns, we have gone to the expense of 

 regrading and scraping, selling the 

 "Fancy" at one price, the best the 

 market affords, the No. 1 in another, 

 and the No. 2 in still another. Of 

 course, we charged the producer for the 

 time expended; but in doing so we 

 have earned him good money. Where 

 we buy this mixed honey outright, of 

 course we pay a low figure for it, then 

 grade and scrape, and sometimes re- 

 case, with the result that we make a 

 good margin on our investment. But 

 should the buyer profit by the negli- 

 gence, carelessness, and indifference 

 of the producer ? It takes experience 

 and skill to get comb honey, and a good 

 bit of it sometimes, I think. It takes 

 but just a little more of the same skill 

 to put that honey, when once secured, 

 in good marketable shape where it will 

 bring the best the market affords. But 

 this is not all of it. Besides securing 

 the best prices, the producer will us- 

 ually get prompt returns. No. 1 and 

 " Fancy " sell, as a rule, with little or 

 no delay, where mixed and ungraded 

 goods are a drug on the market ; and 

 the poor bee-keeper waits months, 

 sometimes, before • he gets returns ; 

 then when he does get them his honey
