118 THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW

He descril:)e(l his method of relic|uif\in!^ iMiiey, in,-huling' a tank 

 with steam-pipes running- through it. Mr. ^'oriv also explained in 

 detail the methods and equipments whieh he used in C hicago, when 

 he bottled some three carloads of hone}- during the winter. 



Mr. Sissna said he heated his extracted honey and l»ottled or 

 canned it just as fast as it was extracted. It takes less heat at that 

 time. He thinks that more honey is consumed if sold in the liquid 

 form. As to the degree of heat, Mr. Cissna said he didn't know, but 

 decided by the feel of his hand on the melting tank. He uses a 3- 

 burner gasoline stove under a jacketed can into which the honey is 

 put to heating-. 



President Burdick said overheated honey has a bad efifect on the 

 market. He thinks that honey is better that has never been heated 

 at all. 



^\r. Cissna — Great care must be used not to overheat the honey. 



Mr. Starkey — Granulation is a serious cjuestion with alfalfa 

 honey. 



.SFJJ.TXG CANDIF.l^ F.XTRAC'IED HONEY. 



Mr. Starkev told his experience in selling candied extracted 

 honey in Evanston. Illinois. He got a lot of common pasteboard 

 oyster-pails, an'l put one pound of honey in each. He rosined the 

 pails, then put the honey in liquid, and let it granulate. They were 

 soon all sold out in the grocery stores, and calls came for more. The 

 pasteboard ]).'ul could be torn off leaving the solid chunk or brick of 

 honey, if anv ])refcrrcd it in that way. They retailed at 20 cents 

 each. Surely this is a simple way to put extracted honey on the 

 local or home market.
