Casing Comb Honey for Market. 



Query 83.— In casing comb honey for ship- 

 ment to marljet, what would be your rule as 

 to the row. of sections next to the glass ? 



-N. r. 



R. C. Aikin — A fair sample of the 

 whole case. 



E. France — The same as the case 

 would average. 



D. W. Helse— A fair sample of the 

 contents of the entire case. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — Let it be a fully 

 fair average of the contents. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — They should never 

 mislead as to grade of honey. 



A. P. Brown — Just an average sample 

 of what the whole case contains. 



Emerson T. Abbott — They should rep- 

 resent the grade of honey In the case. 



C. H. Dibbern — Use the whitest and 

 best, but the inner rows should be very 

 nearly equal to it. 



Rev. M. Mahln — I would put in sec- 

 tions that would fairly represent the 

 average of the lot. 



Eugene Secor — I put nice ones next 

 the glass, but all honey in the case to be 

 of the same grade. 



G. M. Doollttle— That they be as good 

 as the average of those in the case, then 

 turn " face " side out. 



O. O. Poppleton — What" is the object 

 of having sections show at all, if they 

 are not fair samples of what the case 

 contains ? 



Mrs. L. Harrison — I would have the 

 row next the glass a fair sample of the 

 interior. Wouldn't you. If you were the 

 purchaser ? 



Dr. C. C. Miller— They should be a fair 

 average of all the sections in the case, 

 and the best side of each section should 

 be next the glass. 



W. G. Larrabee — I put all of my honey 

 in cartons, but if I were to put it in 

 glass I would put just as good sections 

 next to the glass as are In the case. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown— Place the best 

 next to the glass, taking care to have 

 ail the rest of the same quality. Place 

 the bad, if any, in a case by themselves. 



E. S. Lovesy — For color and quality 

 our honey has the reputation of being 

 first-class. In filling shipping-cases we 

 aim to avoid facing, and fill up with a 

 fair average. 



R. L. Taylor— I should put fine look- 

 ing ones next the glass on the same prin- 

 ciple that I would use a clean, nice look- 

 Ingbox to put the honey in. Of course, 

 the. other sections should be of the same 

 grade. 



J. A. Green- My honey Is first care- 

 fully graded. Then out of sections 

 enough to fill a case, I select three or 

 four, as the case may be, that are 

 smooth and uniform in appearance to 

 place next the glass. Very often there 

 are nicer sections back of them, and I
