Hoge's Comb Honey Carrier. — One of

some put it up for sliipment to market. 

 Much when received is in a broken- 

 down condition. To obviate this, Mr. 

 Hoge has invented a " carrier," whicli 

 consists of a box having on the inside 

 of the top, sides and bottom, a number 

 of India rubber balls, against which the 

 inside box, containing the honey- 

 combs, strikes while traveling by rail- 

 road, wagon, or any other conveyance. 

 This method keeps the combs steady 

 in their places, and they may be sent 

 all over the world without damage.
