It it customary to speak of clear honey, tbat it honey free from comb, ?a etraioed honey ; customary by cause tbe expression cornea from us? age before tbe improvemeote iu bee keeping, one of which being tbe honey extractor. Tbe hooey extractor ia a machine by which the combs containing honey are whirled around, in a large can, with sufficient velocity to throw tbe hooey from the combs. The honey ie caught upon tbe inside of the can and rune down and oot through tbe fanoet at the bottom and into a vea ho I placed there for 'that purpose. Only the clear honey is thrown out, the pollen, or bee bread, and young beee remaioiog in tbe combs, which, being returned to the hives, the strength of tbe colony is not mate rially impaired. Any very young beee, in the larva state, that may be thrown out of tbe comba float down upon the surface of the hooey and are skimmed off without being killed or mixed in the honey. Those who have seen the old fash? ioned way of preparing atrained hooey, know that extracted honey is in every way a much nicer and a better article than strained honey. In fact, no hooey is ever "strained." Being very heavy?weighing 12 pounds to the gallon, while water weigha ooly about 8$ pounds?hooey clarifies itself by settling and forcing everything else to the top. In making "strained" hooey io tbe eld fashioned way, tbe comb hooey after being oot out of tbe "gum" and* containing honey, bee bread and young beee, all interspers? ed through the comb, is taken in the bands and squeezed, so ae to press oot the honey. Iu this squeezing process the soft portions of the bee bread mix with tbe hooey, aod also the white fluid tbat comes from the mash? ing of the bee larva Occasionally ilso dead adult bees being mixed imoog the mass of combs and honey, ire squeezed aioog with the lot, it being impossible to see and pick oot ivery ooe Of course, ss before itated, the hooey clarifies itself by itanding, and forcee the bee-bread aod piecee of comb to the top. But that is the way "strained" boney ia prepared. The writer has seen it' made, and in his younger days, helped to prepare it Advanced bee keepers only use tbe term "strained'' hooey io order to be understood by those who want Blear honey?tbat is hooey "extract? or from the comb It is time tbat the masses should be educated as to the meaning of the two terms, aud thus be able to decide whether they really want "strained'' bouey or "extracted" boney The "strained" boney is still made, aud can frequent ly be bought cheaper tbao the "ex tracti d" hooey?but wboo you know tbe difleience, which would you pre fer ? Those who keep bees in "gums'' end boxes csnnot, of course, rosku sny kind but "strained" houey ; but when movable-frame hives can be obtained so cheaply, a bee keeper is behind the times to use tho old fash? ioned "gums " J*here is uo patent on them, and any one can make them at borne if he chosee, but it is cheap er to buy hives in the flit?tbat is all the pieces cut to tbe right size aod ready to be put together? and they can be nailed op and painted iu odd limee at home They can be bought from dealers in nee supplies cheaper aud more accurately made tbsn if made st home by tbe average oar peotet . rVith beee in movable frame hives it will psy one who has a bslf dozen hives to own a hooey extractor. Tbe boney is extracted much eaeier than il can be prepsred in the old wsy, and if the bees sre managed right tbe increase in production will pay tbe cost. The bee keeper of the present day ahould read op on the many improve* ments in bee keeping ??nd get him? self in the procession There is profit in bees if managed on im? proved methods, but to keep bees iu "gums" snd sell "strained" honey ia too much behind the tirnea A Card of Thanks.
