The latter should have the weight of honey and the tare marked in plain figures. Glass jars should be labelled with the name of the producer, and if granulated to be all alike. A jar of thin watery honey among those granulated mars the appearance of them, and conse- quently hurts the sale. The bee-keeper should also keep in view the home market. Broken supers or damaged sections are best sold at a cheaper rate to our neighbours, and thus save any expense in fitting them for the mar- ket. Another point may here be considered, though not exactly connected with the marketing of honey, that is, competing at shows. In all national industries much of their success is due to healthy competition. Agricul- ture, cheesemaking, poultry, and other shows, have been instituted in order to bring together the best. The suc- cessful competitor strives to keep the laurels he has gained, and the consequence is that his sales are increased. This may also be applied to the bee-keeper. He must ' get his name up,' which will benefit him when he comes to selling terms. The honey merchant is only too anxious to secure a ticket for his window,' First prize awarded to So-and-so for honey,' the restdt of which is a good adver- tisement for him. Lastly, let it be remembered that ' honesty is the best policy,' and those who deal clear and straightforward will find their business prosper. Their old customers will stick to them and new ones will swell the list, and thus be the means of the bee-keeper dis- Sosing of his produce to the best advantage.—W. IcNally.
