THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 301 



the body and delicate flavor of well ripened honey. This has been re- 

 sponsible for much dissatisfaction on the part of the honey dealers, 

 and one firm in Chicago made the statement, that it was impossible 

 to seal honey in tumblers and have the lids stay on, unless it was 

 well heated and sealed with a vacuum. 



They had gotten unripe honey, and did not know what the 

 trouble was. The real trouble was that some beekeeperss had got- 

 ten the "get rich quick" itch and had extracted too soon. 



This article deals largely with extracted honey ; and it is the 

 belief of the writer, that the law requiring the stamping of the net 

 weight, will have the greatest correcting influence on the comb 

 honey market, of anything that could be done. 



Honesty is the governing policy of success ; and that ruling is 

 apt to pinch, if the policy of dishonesty is carried very far. 



The writer does not expect this article to immediately revolu- 

 tionize the marketing situation, but does believe that it outlines the 

 system that will have to be developed, before the honey market 

 reaches a uniform level, set by supply and demand at all points. 



One Gallon Glass Jars For Honey 



(Continued from page 288) 

 and the word honey could be embossed on the bottle, in glass also. 



It is possible that such bottles are already made, if so I have 

 failed to locate them ; as at this writing I have not yet succeeded in 

 reaching the manufacturing company. If these are a success we 

 may be able to have some made to hold six pounds of honey. 



Later — The Illinois Glass Co., Chicago, 111. make the glass bot- 

 tles with a larger mouth, in both the gallon and the one-half gal- 

 lon size ; and a brass cover. 



If you publish my article, please make all necessary changes 

 in same as above. Please make arrangements with the manufac- 

 turer for the bottom price direct to the beekeepers, same as you do 

 with the other honey retainers, etc. 



Thanking you for your eff'orts in behalf of the beekeepers.
