GRANULATED HONEY 
435 
In the early days the author cut up some 
brick honey with a wire into packages 
weighing 5 ounces. These sold for a nickel. 
They went off so fast the demand could not 
be supplied. For the sake of experiment 
one 60-lb. can of granulated honey was 
cut into 160 cubes.. The honey cost 6% 
cents per pound. These cubes were re¬

freezing, then thawing again. When the 
weather remains continuously cold, set the 
honey out in pails or bags in a room where 
the temperature goes a little below freez¬ 
ing, leaving it for a day or two, then bring¬ 
ing it into a warm room. After it is 
thoroly warmed up, put it into the cold 
room again, and so continue with changes 
of temperature. Stir the honey occasion¬ 
ally, and always make it a rule to have 
some granulated honey mixed with that 
which is to be brought to a solid condi¬ 
tion.

the real character of the honey. The packer 
or producer must first introduce it to his 
own customers—people who know him. 
The nature of the honey must be explain¬ 
ed ; how put up; that only the purest and 
best can be solidified in this manner; and 
that it can be liquefied. In short, the trade 
must be educated to it. The fact that no 
unripe or glucosed honey can be put up m 
bags or bricks will be a strong talking-
