USES OF HONEY.
Honey can be used in lieu of sugar for almost all kinds of domestic use. It has no superior in the canning and preserving of fruit, making strawberry short cake, &c. Many persons claim that honey disagrees with them—makes them sick. This is a mistaken idea, and is owing to those persons having eaten honey mixed with the poison of the bee, bee-bread, lame, bees, &c., as the old-fashioned strained honey used to be. But the honey as produced by intelligent bee-keepers, and bearing their own label, is pure nectar free from deleterious substances, and is by far the purest and most healthful sweet known. As an article for the table, both Useful and ornamental, what can be superior to white clover honey. This is now procured mostly in small frames, and is removed from the hives as soon as it is sealed, thus preserving its delicate whiteness. But for use in the cusine, extracted honey is superior, as it is free from wax, being thrown from the comb by centrifugal force.
