Gives Explanation Of Granulated
Honey And What To Do About It
- ♦--——
Granulated Honey Can Be
Converted Easily And
Used That Way
By J. W. Dickson
During the months where there
is considerable honey on the mar
ket, many people become confused
about granulated honey, or rather
honey that might become granu
lated, and conceive the idea that
granulate^ honey is honey (so
called) obtained by feeding Cane
or Beet Sugar syrup (made by
mixing equal parts of one or both
of these sugars with water.)
This syrup is never fed to honey
bees only in the early spring fol
lowing a poor honey season the
year before to tide them over to
the early flowers, and none of this
syrup ever reaches the surplus
honey for after it has been used
by the bees in brood-rearing, a
strong colony will use several
times that amount of fresh nectar
from the early flowers after the
sugar has been consumed before
the main flow starts. We could
give other reasons, but consider
it unnecessary as the following will
probably clear up any far-fetched
ideas, notions, theories, or what
have you regarding granulated
honey.
Honey is composed of Levulose
and Dextrose, usually in about
equal portions. Levulose is one
of the groups of fruit sugars that
rotates the plane of polarization
of a ray of light to the right. Dex
trose likewise is one of the groups
of fruit sugar that rotates the
plane of polarization of a ray of
light to the left. This composition
of honey remains the same north,
south, east and west.
In the south and east where the
rainfall is from 60 to 80 inches,
the moisture content of honey is
proportionately high except in a
very dry fall. The moisture content
in fall Astor honey (commonly
known as Froslweed) is low In
this case Astor honey will some
times granulate to some extent,
but this only happens in this sec
tion about one year in ten.
On the other hand in the north
western states where the seasons
are normally dry before and dur
ing the honey flow, (June 1st to
July 15, with the mercury around
110 to 20) the water content in
the nectar is relatively low. there
fore, the Levulose and Dextrose
become slightly out of balance

Marriage license has been is
sued to Prof. C. R. Sharpe and
Miss Allie Mull, of the Selica sec
tion. Mr. Sharpe was the popular
teacher at Rocky Hill last winter,
and the couple will have the con
gratulations of a wide circle of
friends. The wedding ceremony
was pronounced by Rev. R. G.
Tuttle on Wednesday last.
A “stinging” calamity occurred
last Tuesday when Mrs. Goodson
staked her cow near i nough to
a hive of bees to attract the re
sentment of these busy workers
and they attacked the cow. Mrs.
Goodson ran to unloose the cow
just as she had succeeded, in her
efforts to get away, in upsetting
the hive. The bees then included
Mrs. Goodson in their resentment,
and her frenzied calls for help
brought all the neighbors to her
assistance—many of whom receiv
ed special attention from the bees.
There were a lot of swollen faces,
some of which, by the assistance
of Dr. Wallis, wore quite attrac
tive patches of powdered soda. It
evidently doesn’t pay to farm and
keep stock and bees on a town
lot. I
A New York syndicate recent ]
ly purchased the Asheville and I
Craggy Mountain railway and they
are considering the advisability of
rebuilding the road to the old Ov
erlook park on Sunset mountain
and have another amusement park,
i If this plan is put into effect, it j
j will be a big drawing card in the j
way of amusement for the visi
tors to the city, as the park has
always been very popular with
the visitors to the city, it af
j fording a beautiful view of the
surrounding country and was very
desirable for picnic parties and
other recreation.
Rev. F. M. Jordan and wife,
in a letter to the editor, express
their sincere thanks to the brethren
and friends in Brevard for the
present of a nice new buggy and
harness. Since the gift arrived on
his 76th birthday, the couple re- i
garded it as a fine birthday pres- j
ent.
A representative of the News
had quite a conversation with
Thomas A. Edison on Monday last,
while the noted inventor was in
Brevard for a brief visit, and he
and the honey will readily granu
late especially if churned up in an
extractor as most of it is handled.
The writer has seen western honey
graulated to almost the consisten
cy of our light brown sugar, and
this honey is produced from white
and yellow sweet clover, alsike
clover and dwarf and mamoth
white clover, and certainly does
not contain any cane sugar.
In conclusion should you happen
to get some granulated honey from
some source, just pour some in a
boiler, place this boiled in a ves
sel and put in water in vessel to
come about half-way up on honey
container and heat water and the
honey will soon liquify again and
will stay that way for quite awhile,
perhaps until it is used up. By no
means place the honey container
next to hot stove as honey is easily
scorched.
Jolly youngsters, a new world in which they may strive and
achieve is being created today by the travail of their elders. On
the home front, too, the struggle is going on and to advance it
we need our every facility, including our cars. We can keep
yours in tip-top shape. Consult us freely, without obligation.

ERNEST F. IEHMITZ, picked up by
the FJ3.I. in New York City, is ac
cused of sending valuable mili
tary information on convoys and
troop movements to Germany in
seemingly innocuous letters. His
notes admitted he was stumped on
the invasion. (International)
expressed himself as greatly
pleased with this particular sec
tion of the country. Mr. Edison
was traveling in a party of four
with two large automobiles, and
has been all over the state nearly.
He came by automobile from New
York City. Although the roads
were very muddy, he found no
difficulty in traveling, and went
from here to Lake Toxaway. In
speaking of Brevard. Mr. Edison
was greatly surprised that a town
with so few inhabitants should
have the many conveniences that
we have—such as water, sewers
and electric lights. He said that [
the valley of the French Broad
from Penrose up to Brevard was
as beautiful and fertile looking
valley as he had ever seen, and
he thought we had a most ideal
country, as to scenery, climate
and farming prospects.
