GRANULATED HONEY 
433 
Aikin’s paper-bag honey-package for granulated honey. 
far better apparatus is the ordinary but¬ 
ter-cutter shown on page 435, and sold 
by the Cleveland Galvanizing Works, Cleve¬ 
land, Ohio. The same thing, or something 
like it, can be obtained of any dealer in 
dairy supplies. This butter-cutter employs 
the same pi’inciple—a wire drawn taut for 
cutting butter. Since butter has about the 
same consistency as hard-granulated hon¬ 
ey, the same machine will slice up a. cake 
of granulated honey in uniform bricks, 
and do it more quickly and neatly than can 
possibly be done with a single strand by 
hand. 
In using the machine, care should be 
taken not to crowd the frame holding the 
strands of wire too fast, as it is a job that 
cannot be rushed without danger of break¬ 
ing the wires. A gentle continuous pres¬ 
sure is what is required. 
For the perpendicular cuts two heavy 
weights are applied in such a way that, 
after the cake of honey is put in place, the 
horizontal frame and its wires gradually 
work their way thru the mass. When the 
cake is cut the other way, on the horizon¬ 
tal line, the operator takes hold of the 
gate, as it were, pulling gently.
