THE BEE-KEEPERS" REVIEW 



191 



The only lots that came through dur- 

 ing cold weather zvithout damage were 

 those that were shipped in 8-case car- 

 riers, with straw or hay beneath the 

 cases, and projecting handles at the 

 ends of the crate. While these handles 

 are of little value to carry the crates, 

 they seem to prevent the placing of the 

 crates on end in the cars, and prevent 

 their being tumbled about. 



As the damage in these local honey 

 shipments not packed in carriers has 

 been so frequent that we have come to 

 the conclusion to notify our members 

 that after this we shall not receive any 

 local shipments of comb honey unless 

 packed in carriers. Another advantage 

 of the carriers is that the cases are 

 protected, and arrive in clean condition. 



The present rulings of the Western 

 Classification do not make anv distinc- 



tion between comb honey shipped in 

 single cases, glass protected, and comb 

 honey shipped in 8-case carriers, which 

 in manifestly a hardship to the produc- 

 ers, and the reason why the use of these 

 carriers for shipments is not more gen- 

 eral. I am, therefore, trying to enlist 

 the support of large jobbers and ship- 

 pers of comb honey within the territory 

 of the Western Classification, to urge 

 the Western Classification Committee to 

 rule that comb honey in carriers with 

 straw or hay beneath the cases shall go 

 as second-class freight, for the reaso'" 

 that it will take less time to handle 

 them, and the danger of damage is re- 

 duced to a minimum, thereby saving the 

 railroads many damage claims. I hope 

 that this move will find the support of 

 this Association at its present session.
