THE BEE-KEEPERvS' REVIEW. 



is no lonj^^er a deception. Perhaps I am 

 not competent to say whether it is right 

 or wrong. I will say this nmch: /do it, 

 and if I thought it were wrong I would 

 not do it. As I said about the applps, so 

 I say about the honey. It ought to be 

 graded, and graded honestly. I think 

 there ought to be three grades; fancy. 

 No. I, and culls. Now, let us suppose 

 that the honey is graded, and we are 

 crating the fancy. We take out enough 

 sections to fill a case. Now I believe 

 that it is perfectly right, legitimate and 

 honest, to select from that case of sec- 

 tions, those that are the best, and put 

 them next the glass — yes, and turn the 

 best sides out at that. But to face 

 No. I , or culls, with fancy, I believe not 

 only wrong, but very unbusiness-like. In 

 fact, I believe that whatever is wrong or 

 dishonest, is a very foolish thing to do, 

 even from a business standpoint. If there 

 are any of my readers who do not agree 

 agree with me, now is their chance.
