HONEY BUTTER AND EGGS.

as one of the big promising business
es of the State.
South Georgia especially seems tC
nave walked up to the Importance Of
the industry and annually the harvest
from this section is enormous. The
rest of the State is equally as fertile
in honey resources as West Florida
and there is no good reason why the
counties of South Georgia should not
annually gather millions of pounds OF
this most healthful and delectable
food
A pound of honey will go, as far as
q pound of butter; and butter is sell
ing today at fifty cents while not ex-
ceeding twenty-five cents is the price
quoted for the best strained honey.
Children like honey, they demand
certain amount of sweets" and it is
generosity supplied by honey and a
real food value be added to the sweet
that is craved.
If there is not man or womn who
has not tried a good graham biscuit
hot and with honey for breakfts, then
that man or woman has missed one of
the most delightful of all breakfasts
foods. Butter is not needed, it is not
missed, when the richness OF pure
honey is supplied instead of the but
lerfat that is the only reason why
the call for butter MS made by the
system.

Honey is entirely the product of
the work of bees; operating upon the
nectar of flowers and other saccha-
rine exudations of plants; and con-
tains not more than % per cent. of
sucrose (can sugar., not more than
25.100ths (O25) of 1 per cent. of wa
ter; not more than per cent of ash
and not less than SO per cent of invert
sugar
Honey is about the purest food one
IAN buy, either in the comb or
strained Glover honey of the Mort
ern states; Eastwood honey of the
Canadian woods; Buckwheat honey
II Pennsylvania, all these are fine.
)ut none can compare in sweetness,
fragrance, purity and wholesomeness
With the Palmetto Honey or the
Blossom Honey of the
Magnolia Honey of Georgia.
Honey should be kept in dry, warm
,lace, even hot. Some people make
he mistake of keeping in the cellar
md then wonder why it turns thin,
,r-in an odd case-sour, instead it
would be much better in the kitchen
cupboard where it would be sure to
escape moisture.
Honey in its candied form is not as
ome suppose, the proof of purity on
he contrary is often the best indica-
ion of adulteration or indeed of a
surely man-made product.
There is no reason why in this state
here should not be tons of honey
where there are now hundred
Weights of it. The lands of Georgia

Lfter they are made. Their one pur-

f left in the wild state the honey bee
will manufacture tons of honey and
store it in hollow trees, in clefts of

safe place. Its cost of manufacture
is the lowest of anything used for food
