handles. Do not have handles that project, 

 as they are often broken off by freight 

 handlers to save room, thus jarring and 

 damaging the honey. Place straw in the 

 bottom of the crate, thus making a package 

 that cannot be tossed about as a single case 

 of honey can ; and also insuring it against 

 breakage. It is well to have the comb so 

 placed as to be seen through the glass. 

 Don't ship comb honey in a plain box or 

 case without glass. 



By publishing the above, it will save us 

 writing numerous replies during the season, 

 and it may come before others who may be 

 benefited by it. J. A. Lamon.

4j<ood Hcmey-Sellers will likely be 

 needed soon, aLi the little 33-page pamph- 

 let, "Honey as Food and Medicine," has 

 for years proven itself valuable in making 

 repeated sales of honey. Its distribution 

 will create a demmbd for the honey first, and 

 then the bee-keeper can follow it up and 

 supply that demand. Send to us for a 

 sample copy, only 5 cents ; 10 copies, post- 

 paid, 35 cents ; 50 copies, $1 .25 ; or 100 copies 

 $2.00. Try 50 or 100 copies, and prove their 

 ability to aid you in disposing of your 

 honey at a good price.
