Various ways in which the house
wife can use honey to advantage are
suggested In = new publication Of the
department-Farmers Bulletin 653,
Honey and it's uses in the home" In
this country honey has hitherto not
been In common use as in Europe,
especially in cookery. It is, however,
q comparatively simple matter to sub
stitute 1t in many receipts for COM
mon sugar or for molasses. and when
this is done the resulting flavor n
often both novel and agreeable.
One Of the great advantages in the
use of honey is that cakes made with
it will keep much longer than those
made with sugar. A honey cake made
with butter, for instance, will keep it's
quality until the butter grows rancid,
and one made without butter will
keep fresh for months. For this rea-
son useful receipts that call for no
butter. Icing made with honey has
the same advantage, and some icing
made in the experimental laboratory
of the Department Of Agriculture was
found at the end Of 10 months to be
as soft and in as good coniition2sae
when it was first made.
Honey is marketed in two forms,
known respectively as comb honey
and extracted honey, the former be.
ing used much like jam or marnalade
and the latter either. in that way or
for cooking. In the past there has
been some prejudice against extract
ed honey-or honey removed from
the comb-because it was believed
that this was frequently adulterated.
However prevalent this practice may
have been in the past, recent legisla-
ton and the efforts Of honey produc-
ers themselves have made it danger
Gus and Improbable. There is now,
it is believed, little adulterated ex-
tracted honey on the market. Comb
honey is practically certain to be the
pure product Of the hive, because it
can only be ~adulterated py processes
which cost more than they save.
When sold at retail there is now COM
paratively little difference in the cost
OF comb and extracted honey, but the
latter a be purchased at wholesale
very much cheaper. The reason for
this is that the producer Of comb
honey makes a product which is prac-
t1cally ready to be delivered to the
consumer. Moreover, It costs the bee
keeper less to produce extracted hon
ey, while the wholesaler who purchas-
60 extracted honey has several pro-
ceases to go through with before he
can sell it at retail. If the house
wife is willing to do these herseIf.
she al effect a considerable saving.
