Marketinn Honey Coo.


1t Is one thing to secure crop OF

market says American Cultiyator
You are educating your community
TO the use of honey, and as the eduea-
ton spreads your sales OF honey will
Increase. The more places your honey
is kept on sale the more will be sold,
especially II your honey is put In nice,
clean, attractive packages.
Give the grocer some hints as TO
where honey should be kept during
cool weather In fall and winter, so
that It may not deteriorate. Nine
times out Of ten, il say nothing about

back room, except the one case from
which TO retail, ana I'm one instance the
larger part Of the purchase was put
into a damp cellar and nearly ruined.
The same have found to be true in
selling TO private parties. The bee
keeper must do great deal OF talking
along this line OF instruction. Extreme
care should be exercised in packing TO
see that the honey is all OF a ripe

But two of the craft left sure traces by which they may be followed, and these are, from all information at hand, the leaders in the big race.
