WASHING AND CLEANING Prepare several tubs of water—one of ttiem with strong suds —and then have on hand a few ounces of shot —No. (> is about right. If particles of glass or dirt cling to the inside of the bottles, pour in four or live ounces of sliot and give the Itoltle a shaking. This will dislodge all -l>articles, when tlie shot may be poured into another bottle, to be similarly treated. In rinsing, use clear soft water. Hard water is liable to leave traces of sediment. Any glass i)ackage used for honey designed for table purposes should be spotlessly clean. now TO INSERT CORKS IN BOTTLES. Two or three methods are employed. One is, to use a rubber mallet, which can be pur- el lased at any of tlie rubber-stores. The ends of the mallet being soft, a cork that is barely entered can be driven into the bottle with a blow. Another plan is to use a lever, as shown at D, in cut. This lever should have a pro- jection on the under side so the cork can be t\)rce(l down into the bottle about a sixteenth of an inch. It is important, after corking,. to pour a la^er of paialline or wax over the top of tlie cork. Some go so far as to dip the corks into hot paraffine, then pour a hot layer on top after they are inserted in the bottles. Nay, some go even further. After the corks have been paratlined they put on a neat tinJ'oil top. If the honey has been heated above 100, and sealed while hot, and the cork is made impervious, it will remain liquid for months; as we have seen samples of honey put up in Muth jars that have been k(^pt in a refrigerator six months, and yet it would remain perfectly clear all the time.
