We have the two 6o-pounds, and ten i2-pounds; and then we have two more sizes—the ten 6- pounds, and the twenty 3-pounds. Mr. York—I agree with Mr. Muth, that the bee-papers could do more along this line, but the dealers should write something about the proper shipping packages. I am reminded of a ship- ment that came from a dealer in Wis- consin lately, in second-hand glucose barrels. And the drayman made the re- mark that the dealer was shipping in glucose! I think that ought to be stopped. Mr. Muth—I have had some experi- ence in shipping honey in glucose bar- rels; that man that shipped the honey in glucose barrels lacked experience; that is very customary. However, if you have a clean heart and clean hands you don't care what kind of barrel honey is shipped in. I do know positively that glucose barrels are the best for honey; they have 6 hoops, and they will hold 700 pounds of honey, net. If you will have 2 more hoops placed on them, and drive them tight, they v/ill not leak, and you can ship them any- where throughout this world. I have shipped them to New York, New Or- leans, and many places in the South, and I will guarantee that they will stand shipment in the hottest we'ather; they are a perfect success if it is done right. But when you buy them from a grocer and soak them up with water, and then fill them with honey, the re- ceiver is robbing you, they say. (Continued week,}.
