THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 259 



small part of the crop needs to be weighed, as they soon get very 

 efficient in judging weights. 



^'Tlic front sections of honey in a case must be alike in color and 

 finish and be a true representation of the contents. 



"Comb honey not permitted in shipping grades: 



Honey packed in second-hand cases. 



Honey in badly stained sections. 



Honey showing signs of granulation. 



Leaking, injured or patched up sections. 



Sections containing honey dew. 



Sections with more than 50 uncapped cells, or a less number of 

 empty cells. 



Sections weighing less than the required weight. 



"Such honey may be sold around home or rendered. 



"Don't put off: case comb honey as soon as taken from the 

 hives and market while weather is warm. The early market is usu- 

 ally the best. 



"Don't haul without springs and don't allow cases to get soiled 

 or dusty. 



"Don't ship comb honey, in less than carlots. unless packed in 

 carrier crates, holding eight cases each, with straw in bottom. 



"Don't ship by express, except very short distances. Freight is 

 cheaper and just as safe. 



"Notice — As practically all bee-keepers are now using separa- 

 tors between each row of sections, no provision is made in the 

 grading rules for half and non-separatored honey. 



TO EXTBACTi:]} HONEV FBOSUCEBS. 



''Do not get honey contaminated by excessive use of smv;>ke. 



"Be sure honey is thoroughly ripened and well strained before 

 putting into cans. 



"Put (60') sixty pounds net in each five-gallon can. 



"Adopt the plan of marketing each extracting with a different 

 number or letter, as there is usually a variation of color and flavor 

 in the different extractings. If a good-sized sample is kept of each 

 lot with the mark and number of cans in lot on it, it is easy to 

 satisfy an intending purchaser as to quality and color. 



"Cases should be nailed with T-penny cement coated box nails, 

 and for long distance local shipment the ends should be strapped 

 with band iron or wire. 



"The grading of any article, honey not excluded, is a simple 

 matter if the person doing the grading will follow the golden rule 

 and put himself in the place of the buyer."
