Better Marketing of Honej-. 



Query 7.— Along the line of marketing the 

 honey crop, what are the most needful re- 

 quirements now. in order that producers may 

 realize better financial results ?— Calif. 



.Tas. A. Stone— I give it up. 



W. G. Larrabee — Higher prices. 



R. L. Taylor— Selling the honey crop 

 in the hotne market. 



B. Taylor — To sell in your home mar- 

 ket, direct to consumers. 



J. A. Green— Better quality, and bet- 

 ter methods of marketing. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— Perhaps a better 

 quality of extracted honey. 



H. D. Cutting — I don't know, unless it 

 is a "change of Administration." 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — Co-operation — ia 

 packing, in transportation, in selling. 



E. Prance — When we have honey we 

 use barrels holding 360 pounds each. 



J. M. Hambaugh— Create an appetite 

 for honey, by pushing sales in every 

 home. 



Rev. M. Mahiii — Have a good article, 

 neatly put up, and sell at and near 

 home. 



W. R. Graham— For the retail market, 

 neatness is the first essential, small 

 packages, all neat and new. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — Full co-operation 

 among producers ; I believe that, aided 

 by our journals. This is practicale. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — Cultivate their 

 home market. Use honey in their fami- 

 lies, in lieu of sugar syrups, as far as 

 practicable. 



0. H. Dibbern— The best comb honey 

 now appearing on the market is hard to 

 improve on, but much that is offered is 

 still put up in a careless, slovenly way. 



P. H. Elwood— A good knowledge of 

 the honey-yield in the different sections 

 of our country, together with a knowl- 

 edge of the cost of producing honey, aad 

 co-operation in marketing. 



Emerson T. Abbott— Pluck, energy, 

 push, keenness of perception, and a feel- 

 ing that you are able to take care of 

 yourself without any help from the law 

 or your neighbors, provided you are let 

 alone. 



Chas. Dadant & Son— Salesmen at 

 home. You need some one who will talk 

 to your neighbors and get them to eat; 

 honey. You have no idea, till you try, 

 of the sales that can be effected by a 

 live peddler. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater— If producers will 

 counsel together instead of under-selling 

 each other, then make consignments of 

 carefully graded honey to honest dealers 

 who are responsible, they can do much 

 toward bettering said results. 



Allen I'ringle— "The most needful re- 

 quirements " are : First, put nothing on 

 the market but good, pure, ripe honey, 

 cleanly and tidily put up ; second, let 

 every bee-keeper work up the home 

 market for all it is worth, instead of 

 shipping his honey off to some commis- 

 sion man ; third, diminish the cost of
