GROCERS READ THIS.
The following enactment will be read
with interest not only by apiarists, but
those of our citizens who are lovers of
honey. OF all receptions practiced upon
an unsuspecting public, none have, in
recent years been so much abused as
adulteration of honey. 1t became so
universal practice to inject foreign and
cheap ingredients into a little honey
and dump the mixture upon the market
for the genuine article, that it was i'm
possible to tell what one had bought un-
til he tested by tasting. General dealers
also, may benefit by reading the law
which is as follows:
Section l. No person shall within this |
State, manufacture for sale. offer for |
sale, or sell any extracted honey which |
is adulterated by the admixture there |
with of either refined or commercial glu- |
cose, or any other substance or sub |
stances, article or articles which may |
in any manner affect the purity of the |
honey.
Section =. Every person manufactur- |
ing, exposing, or offering for sale, or de- |
llvering to purchaser any extracted |
honey, shall furnish to any person in |
terested, or demanding the same, who |
shall apply to him for the purpose and |
tender him the value of the same a |
sample sufficient for the analysis of any |
such extracted honey which is in his |
possession.
Section 3. For the purposes Of this |
Act, extracted honey" is the trans |
formed nectar of flowers, which nectar |
is gathered by the bee from natural |
sources, and is extracted from the comb |
after it has been stored by the bee
