EXTRACTED HONEY 
Friction-top cans and pails. 
a handful of unslacked lime into it with 
three or four quarts of boiling water. After 
the lime is slacked, it should be shaken well 
and afterward rinsed out twice with cold 
water. 
Rusty cans must never be used for honey. 
The rust not only discolors the honey, but 
it indicates weak spots in the tin, which 
may cause leaks almost any time. 
Some beekeepers insist that even new 
cans should be rinsed out with boiling wa¬ 
ter before the honey is put in them, to re¬ 
move the dust or any other foreign mat¬ 
ter. Others claim that it is so difficult to 
dry the cans after they are thus cleaned 
that it does not pay. If the cans are not 
carefully dried, the moisture left is almost 
sure to cause rusting. We have rarely 
found new cans that require rinsing. 
FRICTION-TOP PAILS. 
Among the smaller tin packages for 
holding a gallon or less the friction-top 
cans and pails are very popular. The 
opening at the top is very large, and this 
adds greatly to the convenience in filling. 
The caps, when they are properly pressed 
into position, are tight and will not work 
loose.

package must depend upon its label for 
its attractiveness. Honey in clear white 
glass speaks for itself. The label does 
not need to be gaudy; in fact, it should 
serve only to call attention to the honey.
