TN my first ex- X periment made to determine the temperature at which honey is liable to receive injury in reduc- ing it from a candied to a liq- uid stale, the sample used, from lack of any other, was in the comb. It having been made a question whether the wax contained in the comb did not have some agency in hastening the change in the quality of the honey, I deter- mined to secure other samples and repeat the experiment. In pursuance of this determination I suc- ceeded in securing two samples of extracted honey in a candied condition, one having alfalfa as its source and the other the great willow herb. It is necessary to point out for the benefit of those who are not ac- quainted with these honeys that they are both of a very light color, that from the. willow herb being almost as light in color as clear water, and that from alfalfa, I judge from the few samples I have heretofore had the privilege of examining, varying but slightly from that. As a third sample to be used in this experiment I took honey candied in the comb of partially filled sections as in my first experiment, and from the same lot but by selection composed more largely of basswood honey, so that there was little if any admixture of any from any other source. There might have been a small proportion from clover. During the entire process of heating, the wax from the comb containing the honey in this sample was allowed to remain with the honey in the treating vessel. The details of the process in this experi- ment varied somewhat from those of the other one. The vessels containing the hon- ey were much smaller and of tin instead of earthern-ware, as in the former case, and they w
