EXTRACTED HONEY.

As before intimated, extracted honey has all the flavor, and is in every way equal, if not superior—comb itself is innutritious, and very indigestible—to comb-honey. When people once know its excellence—know that it is not "strained"—let us, as apiarists, strive in every way to kill that word—then the demand for this article will be vastly increased, to the advantage both of the consumer and the apiarist.

Explain to each grocer what we mean by the word extracted, and ask him to spread wide the name and character of the honey. Leave cups of the honey with the editors and men of influence, and get them to discuss its origin and merits. I speak from experience, when I say that in these ways the reputation and demand for extracted honey can be increased to a surprising degree, and with astonishing rapidity.
