How toJndge III" Q laIity Of Honey
@TAo Ottl Quechee river in Vermont,
the summer Of 1859.

This is an interesting question, and
one, we believe, not very generally m-
derstood. Honey, Of COT rse, is judged
mainly by its color, but owing to the
fact that there is often a very great dit
ference in the color of the comb, and
the additional fact that bees often put
white honey into dark combs, and rice
yersu, il is manifest that very great
care must be exercised in taking into
account both the comb and the honey,
The proper way t. judge honey is to
strain it into glass jars. You can then
rcdily Judge of its color. But then
there are at least two other qualities to
be Observation-Disclosures and flavor In
Judging of its thickness, it is necessary
for the Judge to know whether that
quality was impaired in the first III
stance, or whether it is due to the az
ton Of light; for light (the chemical
rays)acts upon honey very much as it
does upon the iodide Of silver, on the
photographers excited collodian plate.
Take two bottles of honey from the
same comb, seal them up perfectly tight,
and keep them both nj the same TEN.
perature only one in the sunlight and
the other in a dark room, and the form
er will gradually grow thick,
and finally assume a seml-crystalm(
shape, while the other will retain lis
original huidity. This is one reason
why bees always work in the dark, and
why honey should be kept it the dark
or in opaque vessels.
1t would be very improper to aware
a first prize for a jar Of honey that had
become thickened by the action oflight
because it thereby becomes detcriorated
Still, honey, to be superior, should be
very thin, Flavor is also a very import
ant consideration, and must always b'
required A good favored, dark hon
cy may sometimes be superior to white
article which looks much better. Th,
thickness and thinness Of Honey depends
upon the source from which it is gath
cred, rather than the secretive action 0
the bee, whether we admit that the in
sect males or..simply gothcrs it--Scien

Onward, to thy primal source!
And thy placid, sunlight glcam
Still shall mark thy winding course.
Now, along thy time-worn bed,
Urge thy swcetly murmurns tide,
Where thy silverrays arc shed
On each mirrored moutain side
Now, within sequcstcrod banks
Tricky lined with quiverins trees
AS they rise III snow white ranks,

Or, with quick, impctlous bound,
Dasbing DER some rocky height,
Where thy loaming crest is crowned
With the rainbows's varying light,
Ginning to the insects trill,
or the wild birds swectcr lays,
Whore along each spruce clad kill
Echoes natures song olpraisc.
Answering to the following herd
Or the distant tinklins bell,
OR each sound of leaflets stirred
In the cliiI-environcd dell
In the music of thy strain
Bear thy bcnetactors ON;
And through dale and smiling plain
Freely shall thy gifts be strcwni

Where each plant and shrub and tree
Marks thy course of liylicr green;
Where the raven Stops TO drink,
