EXTRA FANCY COMB HONEY, EVERY SECTION OF WHICH IS ENTIRELY SURROUNDRD WITH 



CORRUGATED PAPER. 



pretty saiz case. Planer shavings, excelsior, 

 or other material can be used. Unlined cor- 

 rugated paper, if cut so as to have the corru- 

 gations first lengthwise and then crosswise, 

 is very helpful if two or three layers are 

 used. If great care is required, fillers can 

 be used such as are used in shipping bottles, 

 thus making a box or cell of elastic paper 

 for each section. Corrugated paper is not 

 expensive, and the extra expense is not 

 large. 



We are accustomed to think that our pack- 



value (perhaps I might say the necessity) 

 of lessening the danger of breakage ; and 

 when we began packing this year we began 

 to lay corrugated paper in the bottom of 

 the cases before filling with honey. I soon 

 noticed that, if we used single-faced boards 

 lengthwise of the case, bending the ends of 

 the board up the ends of the cases, we had, 

 in addition to a safer case, a very good pro- 

 tection from any honey dripping from the 

 combs above it. Now, if we place under 

 this some light elastic material we have a 



CORRUGATED PAPER FOR INSERTION IN THE BOTTOM OF SHIPPING-CASES, IN PLACE OF 



DRIP-STICKS.
