I have had no experience. I doubt if 

 they pay. — A. J. Cook. 



In regard to all these questions, I must 

 plead ignorance. — M. Mahik. 



1. In some markets. 2 and 3. Some 

 of those New York chaps will tell you. — 

 C. C. Miller. 



I do not want so much " fuss and 

 feathers " to sell a pound of honey.— 

 Mrs. L. Harrison. 



To all three questions, I will say I 

 don't know, as I never used cartons. — 

 Mrs. Jennie Atchley. 



I would use cartons for convenience in 

 handling only. Nice honey looks better 

 than cartons. — A. B. Mason. 



1. It depends upon your market. 2. 

 Yes. 3. I would leave it off a section 

 for sample. — J. P. H. Brown. 



That depends upon your market. In 

 some places they might pay. I never 

 used enough of them to be any authority. 

 — James A. Green. 



1. I think not generally. 2. Yes, 

 enough larger so the cartons will go in 

 without "squeezing." 3. I should think 

 so. — R. L. Taylor. 



It all depends upon the class of custo- 

 mers you have. Get a few and try your 

 market, then you will know. I would 

 not advisQ shipping with the sections in 

 the cartons. — H. D. Cutting. 



1. A small percentage of the honey 

 shipped to the New York market sells 

 better in paper cartons. 2. Yes ; a 

 quarter of an inch will be suflScient. 3. 

 No ; glass one box. — P. H. Elwood. 



1. That depends on the market. It 

 would not bring any more here. It is 

 my candid opinion that it will not pay 

 to use them any place. 2. I do not 

 know. 3. Try it and find out. — Emer- 

 son T. Abbott. 



I have never used them. I doubt if it 

 will pay. A possible exception might be 

 retailing to a few rich people, and then 

 it would seem to me the retailer should 

 enclose a perfect section in a clean car- 

 ton at tiTne of sale. — Eugene Secor. 



1. Not in our market. 2. Yes, just 

 enough deeper to make room for the 

 cartons. 3. I use cartons with a round 

 hole in the side next to the honey, cov- 

 ered with mica. This exposes the honey 

 and shows its quality. — J. E. Pond. 



1. I couldn't. I don't know practi- 

 cally anything about "cartons" for 

 honey in sections. I have no use for 

 such traps. 2. The crates would have 

 to be made to suit the packages. 8. I 

 don't use them at all. — G. W. Demaree. 



1. It does not pay me for the expense 

 and trouble, as I can get no more for 

 it. It might pay to ship to distant 

 markets, as it will ship more safely. 2. 

 If the sides of the case is glassed, the 

 honey next to it should be exposed. — C. 



H. DiBBERN. 



The comb honey men of large experi- 

 ence are the ones to answer, but on gen- 

 eral principles I should say No. The 

 masses want a good article, and want it 

 cheap, and prefer not to pay for any 

 extra dressing up that adds nothing to 

 the quality. — S. I. Freebokn. 



Neither cartons nor glass should be 

 used in putting up sections for the mar- 

 ket. Neither helps the sale of honey, 

 and a shipping-case must be used any- 

 way. The bee-keeper will save time 

 and money by putting up his honey 

 neatly but cheaply. — G. L. Tinker. 



1. I have never used cartons, but 

 those using them claim they are war- 

 ranted in so doing, financially. 2. About 

 U inch deeper, if I am correctly in- 

 formed. 3. The Betsinger cartons had 

 a small piece of glass in one side on pur- 

 pose to expose the honey in each section 

 in a tempting way. — G. M. Doolittle. 



1. I think in some cases there can. 

 But where the grocery delivery is had, if 

 there is any convenience or benefit the 

 grocer gets it, and should be the one to 

 pay for the cartons. 2. Proportions 

 larger every way, according to how 

 tightly the cartons fit the sections. 3. 

 Part off and part on — then they will be- 

 gin to investigate, and the result may be 

 a sale for the sake of curiosity. — Jas. A. 

 Stone. 



1. Very often it can. I use cartons 

 for all my home trade where my custo- 

 mers have confidence in me, but like 

 to show the honey to strangers. 2. 

 About 3/16 of an inch deeper, also the 

 same wider and longer for each section. 

 3. This method is satisfactory if you 

 are honest enough to put the same grade 

 of honey in cartons as is exposed. — J. 

 H. Larrabee. 



The May Neio England Magazine 

 contains a paper describing the relations 

 of " Phillips Brooks and Harvard Uni- 

 versity," written by Alexander McKen- 

 zie, an old friends of Dr. Brooks. The 

 article is accompanied with illustrations, 

 which show the familiar haunts of 

 Brooks while at Cambridge. A paper 

 on " Milton as an Educator," by Phillips 

 Brooks is also in this number. Pub-
