THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



there is a right and a wrong- way of 

 doing this. A few years ago we used 

 to run our extractor gate open all the 

 time; that is, we would set our pail 

 under the gate, and, when full, shut 

 the gate, and empty the honey into the 

 tank, and, leaving it draining, take a 

 second pail and set under the gate and 

 open the gate again. This plan has 

 objections to it. You have to keep 

 your mind on the pail all the time; and 

 even then, you are quite sure to let it 

 run over once in a while. We even went 

 to the expense of having a galvanized 

 steel pan made to set the pail in so 



that when the pail ran over, the pan 

 would catch the honey. This fuss and 

 worry is all done away with now. We 

 simply use one pail, and when the re- 

 volving frame of the extractor begins 

 to swim, we set a pail under the gate, 

 and, with the 2)^-inch gate on the 

 modern extractor, draw out a pail, 

 and, with the honey warm, as it is 

 when first extracted, it does not take 

 one-fourth of a minute, then it is emp- 

 tied, and the pail is left on the tank to 

 drain until the extractor is full again.

T read with interest your sug- 

 i gestions in alateissueofthe Review on 

 the subject of the bee keepers doing 

 some advertising to offset the misstate- 

 ments made by the American Corn 

 Product Company in comparing their 

 product, Karo Korn Syrup, with 

 honey. I also noticed, in the last issue 

 of Gleanings, that the editor suggests 

 that the National Association take up 

 the advertising of extracted honey. I 

 have given considerable thought to the 

 subject of the marketing of extracted 

 honey, and, since you call for sugges- 

 tions, I take the liberty to set forth 

 my ideas on the subject. 



It is a righteous indignation that is 

 aroused in the minds of bee-keepers, 

 when they see such bold statements set 

 forth in the daily papers, and in the 

 monthly magsizines, by the American 

 Corn Product Company regarding 

 their glucose syrup. In this instance 

 comparison is simply odious, and no 

 doubt many bee-keepers all over the 



land feel called upon to do something 

 toward righting this injustice, and 

 telling the public how it is being de- 

 ceived. 



The problem is not a small one, and 

 before anything can be done it is very 

 important that the objects to be desired 

 should be thought out carefully, and 

 then as careful fighting done, on the 

 gain to the bee-keepers in carrying 

 out a campaign of self protection, and 

 what it will cost. 



WHAT ARE BEE-KEEPERS LOSING BY 

 THE ADVERTISEMENTS OF THE 

 AMERICAN CORN PROD- 

 UCT COMPANY? 



To take up, first, the subject of the 

 object to be gained. "What are the 

 beekeepers losing bj'the advertisements 

 of the American Corn Product Com- 

 pany?" It is assumed that the sale 

 of the glucose syrup is displacing the 

 sale of just so much extracted honey,
