THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW, 45 1 have had in use for the last dozeu years or more a vessel similarly coustructed to the one he describes, for the par{)ose of lique- fying and (•//j«;ii»iy honey. WlienI wish to simply liquefy candied honey, however, I emyloy a different vessel. It is much more convenient and will do the work as ett'actu- ally and safely, as the specially constructed can will do. Indeed its use saves one the most disagreeable part of the work, name- ly, transferring the candied honev from its receptacle into the liquefying can. It is one too that is found in every household. I a common wash-boiler. In shape it is what may be called an oblong-oval, the bot- tom of which is depressed an inch or more to fit into two pot-holes, and the intervening space of a common cook stove. Around this depression there is a raised margin a couple of inches wide. Upon the inner sida of this margin and running parallel with the sides of the boiler, lay a strip of iron or wood upon which to rest the bottom of the vessels containing the honey to be liquified. This boiler will take in two sixty-pound tins of candied honey with sufficient space around, and under them for the water. Set the boiler on the stove with a little water on it, and place the tins or crocks of candied honey in it, then pour sufficient water into the boiler to surround the honey tins till within an inch or so of their tops, and you will have as complete a water-bath for lique- fying candied honey as can well be made. Nearly a ton of candied may be thus lique- fied in a day by the simple use of a wash boiler and a cook stove, and with as little danger of scorching the honey as there is by any other method that may be employed. When the honey in the tins is liquefied, re- move the tins from the boiler (the boiler need not be taken oft the stove) and place them by two other tins of candied houey. Now pour the hot honey into an ex- tractor can, draw it off in
