THERE has been strong suspicion amounting
IN factio n conviction that of the straiued honey
In the market n considerable percentage was not
gathered by THE little busy bee While Il con-
yiction that frauds are being pcrpctratod may be
entertained, the evidence that such is the case Is
not always easy TO obtain, But the San Fran
cisco Grocer, of recent date, publishes some
fncts and figures which clearly establish the
fact of fraudulent adultoraton. II says strained
honey In bulk, rs received FROM the bee ranches,
H. worth 81 IA per gallon IN that MARKET But
after being put up In gallon and half gallon
tins, labeled and cased, the dealer sells at SD %
per case of one dozen gallon tins, and So % for
half gallon, The actual cost of u case of one
dozen gallon tins, II filed with pure
honey, would be SIG 95 allowing 81
per case for manufacturers profit The
sale ut above figures involves an apparent loss
of 81. 70 per case There is but one solution to
this problem, which is that II sufficient amount
ofglucoso Is mixed with the honey to not only
make good the apparent loss, but also to pay n
profit to the manufacturer An interesting IN
quiry In this connection Is to what extent Is the
honey ndultcraed with glucose Taking the
figures as given by the Grocer, aud allowing
plOfit OF 81 per case To the manufacturer, and
with the present wholesale price Ut Elucoso-i5
cents per gallon--the mixture must DO 40 per
cent OF glucose and copper cent OF honey. The
percentage Of glucose would be Increased just 10
the extent that profit above 81 per case is re-
Allied. The presumption is that the percentage
of glucose Is much larger, probably not less TN
20 per cent IL cannot be less than 10 per cen
without involving the manufacturer In loss
