240 Extracted Honey. 



Third. Insist that each grocer make the honey very con- 

 spicuous. If necessary, supply large, fine labels, with your 

 own name almost as prominent as is that of the article. 



Fourth. Deliver the honey in small lots, so that it will be 

 sure to be kept in inciting form, and, if possible, attend to 

 the delivery yourself, that you may know that all is done 

 "decently and in order." 



Fifth. Instruct your grocers that they may make the honey 

 show to the best effect, and thus captivate the purchaser 

 through the sight alone. 



Sixth. Call local and general conve^itions, that all in the com- 

 munity may know and practice the best methods, so that the 

 markets may not be demoralized by poor, unsalable honey. 



It is of the greatest importance to encourage State, inter- 

 State, and National Associations. Happily, our civilization 

 makes every person affected by the acts of each person. Self- 

 ishness, not less than Christianity, urges us all to be interest-

 State. Bee-keeping will never be perfect as an art till all bee- 

 keepers act as one man. He is short-sighted that decries con- 

 ventions. It is the experience of the world that they are val- 

 uable in other arts. Bee-keeping is no exception. Let us all 

 urge that the associations act in unison, from the local to the 

 general, that all other apiarian interests no less than the mar- 

 kets shall be in -the highest degree fostered. Each associa- 

 tion, from the most local to the most general, has its special 

 mission which no other can perform. 



PEEPAEATION FOE MAEKETS. 



Of course, the method of preparation will depend largely 

 upon the style of honey to be sold, so we will consider these 

 kinds separately. 



EXTEACTED HONEY. 



As before intimated, extracted honeyhas all the flavor, and 

 is in every way equal, if not superior — comb itself is innutri- 

 tious and very indigestible — to comb-honey. When people 

 once know its excellence — know that it is not "strained" — 

 then the demand for this article will be vastly increased, to 

 the advantage both of the consumer and the apiarist. 



Explain to each grocer what we mean by the word extract-
