THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 665 Journal, he of course had not seen the rather warm discussion In the bee-papers on facing comb honey, about two months ago. He simply fixt it up to suit his dishonest pleasure. One case of the honey we saw opened had been taken by a customer of Burnett & Co. without opening, and of course was returned at once. It Is just as we said some time ago, it is wrong to face up cases of honey for market, no matter to whom or where they are sold. In this case, the commission man received the blame, when the deception was entirely on the side of the shipper. Goodness knows, the city dealers have enough sins of their own to answer for without the producers trying to unload their shortcomings also upon them. As will be seen by Mr. Doollttle's answer In the " Question Box," he does not now, if he ever did, endorse the foregoing method of packing comb honey for market, altho a couple of months ago he seemed to think It would be all right provided the honey was sold on commission, and the shipper thought it to his interest to do so. We doubt if Mr. D. still holds such views. We surely do not, for we are free to say we don't be- lieve that, because a man may think it is right to follow a certain procedure, that makes it right. Not by any means. A man may think, or believe, that It's right to whip his wife, or swear, or get drunk, or do anything else that is morally wrong In the eyes of those who have educated consciences. But his believing it right, or to his interest to do so, doesn't make it so, by a long shot. Our advice to bee-keepers, when putting up honey for market. Is to pack it honestly, so that no matter who buys it, they will not feel that they have been swindled, or deceived. Two Departments In Gleanings in Bee-Culture that have been somewhat conspicuous by their absence, are beginning to appear more regularly. They are "Reports 'Encouraging" and " Reports Discoura
