through 81 dealers--l2 OF whom have
residence In Abilene. The largest
number OF these latter supply one or
two customers from q COW kept pri-
marily for their own use and are
usually In the best Of condition. Very
few complaints have been made and
many Of these were found to be only
hearsay and upon investigation proved
to be without foundation.
At the start some Of the small
dealers supplying one or two custom
ers had to be warned for not b0ttling,
but these now have complied. These
cases did not exceed Q In number.
Inspection of premises are carried on
constantly and usually without the
owners knowledge as the health board
deem they are better able to judge of
real conditions by 30 doing.
On q whole the conditions have
been found good and the results OF

Honey information

G. Metz, one of the best posted bee
men in the county, has furnished the
Reflector with the following informa-
ton:
"a good many people think honey
that turns to sugar is adulterated
This is not so. All good honey will
granulate If it is exposed to the air
and gets too cold. Honey that turns
to sugar should be set in a kettle
with jar or container. Fill your kettle
with cold water and heat it near to
boiling point. If honey is all treated
in this way it will not granulate soon
again. Comb honey will not granu-
late as soon because it is sealed over
with max, making 1t alright. Comb
honey should be kept In a warm dry
basement in the winter. Comb honey
kept in damp place with low tenn
perature is likely to burst the Gaping
Of the comb and granulate.
