High or Low Grade Honey Honey, to the chemist, is eases• tially a highly concentrated sugar solution, To the consumer honey is a delicious food direct from na- ture. It contains, besides the highly nurtltive sugars, imanY other eleuteuts essential to the human body. Since most honey Is marketed in the extracted foam, unchanged in compositions, it is of many dif- ferent shades of colour and has a great variety of flavours. Honey also variety in moisture content depending, to a certain, extent, on, the weather conditions during the nectar gathering period, The length of time the honey is allow- ed to remain on the hive berme extracting has also a bearing on the density, therefore, the super's should not be removed 'Por ex- tracting until the combs are at leavt three -quartets capped Dur- • NOTE AND COM can lierdty imagine such a Mate - Mont Car 471�A► COMMENT Mont -being made it the d'ree1lel k w were epnslder'ing making a trip to To Be Added Ari satiety in Toronto Is display, London.

And like as not some of the local people have remarked that she is around sticking her nose into other People's affairs. This, may happen by the ab- sortltiouof moisture from, the air, ao that •the drier the honey house the better. Steam should not be allowed to escape into the air of the extracting room and the win- dows should be kept closed dur- ing damp or rainy 'weather. Even capped or comb honey stored' in a damp place will absorb moisture front the air. Honey should be 'heated only sufficiently to facilitate straining, if, indeed. heating is necessary. The volatile oils avhich are pres- ent in infinitely s.ma11 quantities are driven off by heat. It is these oils which give honey its fine aroma and flavour, therefore, ex- cessive heat should be avoided. The texture of granulated honey depends largely on its treatment while in the liquid state. Granulation is retarded by heating and the quicker the gran- ulation the more uniformly smooth the final produce. There- fore, after extracting honey considering the evidence and bring - should be stored in a cool, dry lag in a verdict.
