TO MAKE HONEY WITHOUT BEES. 



Take 8 pounds best brown sugar, IJ pounds 

 rendered lioney, 1 ounce cream of tartar, 4 

 drops essence of wintergreen, 2 drops essence of 

 peppermint, 2 ounces best molasses, 3 parts of 

 a pint pure cold water, dissolve the cream of 

 tartar, then put all in a tin or bell metal vessel, 

 let boil gently 6 or 8 minutes, stirring and mix- 

 ing occasionally; tlien beat up the white of 2 

 eggs into a foam, and stir them in, and when 

 nearly cool stir in 2 pounds more of bees honey; 

 skim off whatever may rise to the top. If you 

 want it nice and clean, strain it through a coarse 

 cloth as soon as you have the eggs stirred in.— 

 If you strain it put in the 2 lbs. of honey after 

 it is strained. This makes an excellent honey. 

 The addition of the eggs is simply to give it the 

 appearance of having combs in it, but ean be 

 left out if you wish. The same honey may be 

 used for the second making.
