CHAPTER 1
HISTORY OF SURGICAL
INSTRUMENTATION
INTRODUCTION
Since the beginning of time, man has sought to appease the gods and
remedy the failings of the human body with the medical and surgical
arts. Each culture has historically approached medicine and surgery
in a different way and has lent a societal touch to the evolution of
surgical practice.

CHAPTER XV.
MARKETING HONEY.
EXTRACTED HONEY.
As before intimated, extracted honey has all the flavor, and is in
every way equal, if not superior—comb itself is innutritious, and very
indigestible—to comb-honey. When people once know its excellence
—know that it is not "strained"—let us, as apiarists, strive in every
way to kill that word—then the demand for this article will be vastly
increased, to the advantage both of the consumer and the apiarist.
Explain to each grocer what we mean by the word extracted, and
ask him to spread wide the name and character of the honey. Leave
cups of the honey with the editors and men of influence, and get
them to discuss its origin and merits. I speak from experience, when
I say that in these ways the reputation and demand for extracted
honey can be increased to a surprising degree, and with astonishing
rapidity.
COMB-HONEY.
This, from its wondrous beauty, especially when light-colored and
immaculate, will always be a coveted article for the table, and will
ever, with proper care, bring the highest price paid for honey. So it
will always be best to work for this, even though we may not be able
to procure it in such ample profusion as we may the extracted. He
who has all kinds, will be able to satisfy every demand, and will most
surely meet with success.
RULES TO BE OBSERVED.
This, too, should be chiefly in small sections (Fig, 50), for, as
before stated, such are the packages that surely sell. Sections from
four to six inches square will just fill a plate nicely, and look very
tempting to the proud house-wife, especially if some epicurean
friends are to be entertained.
The sections should surely be in place at the dawn of the white
clover season, so that the apiarist may secure the most of this
irresistible nectar, chaste as if capped by the very snow itself. They
should be taken away as soon as capped, as delay makes them
highways of travel for the bees, which always mar their beauty.
When removed, if demanded, glass the sections, but before this,
we should place them in hives one upon another, or special boxes
made tight, with a close cover, in which to store either brood-frames
in winter or sections at any season, and sulphur them. This is quickly
and easily done by use of the smoker. Get the fire in the smoker well
to burning, add the sulphur, then place this in the top hive, or top of
the special box. The sulphurous fumes will descend and deal out
death to all moth larvæ. This should always be done before shipping
the honey, if we regard our reputations as precious. It is well to do
this immediately upon removal, and also two weeks after, so as to
destroy the moth larvæ not hatched when the sections are removed.
If separators have been used, these sections are in good
condition to be glassed, and are also in nice shape to ship even
without glass, as they may stand side by side and not mar the comb.
Fig. 71.
Fig. 72.
In groceries, where the apiarist keeps honey for sale, it will pay
him to furnish his own boxes. These should be made of white-wood,
very neat, and glassed in front to show the honey, and the cover so
fixed that unglassed sections—and these, probably, will soon
become the most popular—cannot be punched or fingered. Be sure,
too, that the label, with kind of honey, grade, and name of apiarist,
be so plain that "he who runs may read."
Comb-honey that is to be kept in the cool weather of autumn, or
the cold of winter, must be kept in warm rooms, or the comb will
break from the section when handled. By keeping it quite warm for
some days previous to shipment, it may be sent to market even in
winter, but must be handled very carefully, and must make a quick
transit.
Above all, let "taste and neatness" ever be your motto.
CHAPTER XVI.
HONEY PLANTS.
As bees do not make honey, but only gather it, and as honey is
mainly derived from certain flowers, it of course follows that the
apiarist's success will depend largely upon the abundance of honey-
secreting plants in the vicinity of his apiary. True it is that certain bark
and plant lice secrete a kind of liquid sweet—honey of doubtful
reputation—which, in the dearth of anything better, the bees seem
glad to appropriate. I have thus seen the bees thick about a large
bark-louse which attacks the tulip tree, and thus often destroys one
of our best honey trees. This is an undescribed species of the genus
Lecanium. I have also seen them thick about three species of plant
lice. One, the Pemphigus imbricator, Fitch, works on the beech tree.
Its abdomen is thickly covered with long wool, and it makes a
comical show as it wags this up and down upon the least
disturbance. The leaves of trees attacked by this louse, as also
those beneath the trees, are fairly gummed with a sweetish
substance. I have found that the bees avoid this substance, except
at times of extreme drouth and long protracted absence of honeyed
bloom. It was the source of no inconsiderable stores during the
terribly parched autumn of Chicago's great disaster. (See Appendix,
page 286).
Another species of Pemphigus gives rise to certain solitary plum-
like galls, which appear on the upper surface of the red elm. These
galls are hollow, with a thin skin, and within the hollows are the lice,
which secrete an abundant sweet that often attracts the bees to a
feast of fat things, as the gall is torn apart, or cracks open, so that
the sweet exudes. This sweet is anything but disagreeable, and may
not be unwholesome to the bees.
Another aphis, of a black hue, works on the branches of our
willows, which they often entirely cover, and thus greatly damage
another tree valuable for both honey and pollen. Were it not that they
seldom are so numerous two years in succession, they would
certainly banish from among us one of our most ornamental and
valuable honey-producing trees. These are fairly thronged in
September and October, and not unfrequently in spring and summer
if the lice are abundant, by bees, wasps, ants, and various two-
winged flies, all eager to lap, up the oozing sweets. This louse is
doubtless the Lachnus dentatus, of Le Baron, and the Aphis salicti,
of Harris.
Bees also get, in some regions, a sort of honey-dew, which
enables them to add to their stores with surprising rapidity. I
remember one morning while riding on horse-back along the
Sacramento river, in California, I broke off a willow twig beside the
road when, to my surprise, I found it was fairly decked with drops of
honey. Upon further examination I found the willow foliage was
abundantly sprinkled by these delicious drops. These shrubs were
undisturbed by insects, nor were they under trees. Here then was a
real case of honey-dew, which must have been distilled through the
night by the leaves. I never saw any such phenomenon in Michigan,
yet others have. Dr. A. H. Atkins, an accurate and conscientious
observer, has noted this honey-dew more than once here in Central
Michigan.
Bees also get some honey from oozing sap, some of
questionable repute from about cider mills, some from grapes and
other fruit which have been crushed, or eaten and torn by wasps and
other insects. That bees ever tear the grapes is a question of which I
have failed to receive any personal proof, though for years I have
been carefully seeking it. I have lived among the vineyards of
California, and have often watched bees about vines in Michigan, but
never saw bees tear open the grapes. I have laid crushed grapes in
the apiary, when the bees were not gathering, and were ravenous for
stores, which, when covered with sipping bees, were replaced with
sound grape-clusters, which in no instance were mutilated. I have
thus been led to doubt if bees ever attack sound grapes, though
quick to improve the opportunities which the oriole's beak and the
stronger jaws of wasps offer them. Still, Prof. Riley feels sure that
bees are sometimes thus guilty, and Mr. Bidwell tells me he has
frequently seen bees rend sound grapes, which they did with their
feet. Yet, if this is the case, it is certainly of rare occurrence, and is
more than compensated by the great aid which the bees afford the
fruit-grower in the great work of cross-fertilization, which is
imperatively necessary to his success, as has been so well shown
by Dr. Asa Gray and Mr. Chas. Darwin. It is true that cross-
fertilization of the flowers, which can only be accomplished by
insects, and early in the season by the honey-bee, is often, if not
always, necessary to a full yield of fruit and vegetables. I am
informed by Prof W. W. Tracy, that the gardeners in the vicinity of
Boston keep bees that they may perform this duty. Even then, if Mr.
Bidwell and Prof. Riley are right, and the bee does, rarely—for surely
this is very rare, if ever—destroy grapes, still they are, beyond any
possible question, invaluable aids to the pomologist.
But the principal source of honey is still from the flowers.
APRIL PLANTS.
As we have already seen, the apiarist does not secure the best
results, even in the early spring, except the bees are encouraged by
the increase of their stores of pollen and honey; hence, in case we
do not practice stimulative feeding—and many will not—it becomes
very desirable to have some early bloom. Happily, in all sections of
the United States our desires are not in vain.
Early in spring there are many scattering wild flowers, as the
blood-root (Sanguinaria canadensis), liver-leaf (Hepatica acutiloba),
and various others of the crowfoot family, as also many species of
cress, which belong to the mustard family, etc., all of which are
valuable and important.
The maples (Fig, 73), which are all valuable honey plants, also
contribute to the early stores. Especially valuable are the silver
maples (Acer dasycarpum), and the red or soft maples (Acer
rubrum), as they bloom so very early, long before the leaves appear.
The bees work on these, here in Michigan, the first week of April,
and often in March. They are also magnificent shade trees,
especially those that have the weeping habit. Their early bloom is
very pleasing, their summer form and foliage beautiful, while their
flaming tints in autumn are indescribable. The foreign maples,
sycamore, Acer pseudo-platanus, and Norway, Acer platanoides, are
also very beautiful. Whether superior to ours as honey plants, I am
unable to say.
The willows, too (Fig, 74), rival the maples in the early period of
bloom. Some are very early, blossoming in March, while others, like
the white willow (Salix alba) (Fig, 74), bloom in May. The flowers on
one tree or bush of the willow are all pistillate, that is, have pistils,
but no stamens, while on others they are all staminate, having no
pistils. On the former, they can gather only honey, on the latter only
pollen. That the willow furnishes both honey and pollen is attested by
the fact that I saw both kinds of trees, the pistillate and the
staminate, thronged with bees the past season. The willow, too, from
its elegant form and silvery foliage, is one of our finest shade trees.

JUNE PLANTS.
Fig. 80.—White or
Dutch Clover.
With June comes the incomparable white or Dutch clover,
Trifolium repens (Fig, 80), whose chaste and modest bloom
betokens the beautiful, luscious, and unrivalled sweets which are
hidden in its corolla tube. Also its sister, Alsike or Swedish, Trifolium
hybrida (Fig, 81), which seems to resemble both the white and red
clover. It is a stronger grower than the white, and has a whitish
blossom tinged with pink. This forms excellent pasture and hay for
cattle, sheep, etc., and may well be sown by the apiarist. It will often
pay apiarists to furnish neighbor farmers with seed as an inducement
to grow this par excellent honey plant. Like white clover, it blooms all
through June into July. Both of these should be sown early in spring
with timothy, five or six pounds of seed to the acre, in the same
manner that red clover seed is sown.

Clover.

Sweet clover, yellow and white, Melilotus officinalis (Fig, 82), and
Melilotus alba, are well named. They bloom from the middle of June
to the middle of July. Their perfume scents the air for long distances,
and the hum of bees that throng their flowers is like music to the
apiarist's ear. The honey, too, is just exquisite. These clovers are
biennial, not blooming the first season, and dying after they bloom
