GliEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Feb. 



The poods ordered of you Dec. 3d were received 

 Jan. 3d in erood order, with freight charges amount- 

 ing to $3.70— very reasonable on 55U lbs. I unpiieked 

 them the 4th inst., and fouud every thing ordered all 

 in r'>od shspe. 1 don't wonder that you have a large 

 traile. sending out as nice goods as well packed, and 

 as promptly as you do. Geo. F. Kpencer. 



Paysuu, 111., Jan. 5, 1882. 



The goods bought of you heretofore have been all 

 very good for so small a price, and cveu more than 

 I expected. f<ir I have sent to a good many different 

 places for little things and different things, and al- 

 ways aim to send money euoujib, or a little more, to 

 be 8ua-e to get the goods, but you are the hrst man 

 who ever gave me credit for more than enough. 



Prairieville, Ark., Jan. 4, '83. W. D. Wesneb. 



I have been a subscriber to Gleanings ever since 

 its first advent as a quarterly, when wind was j-cur 

 motive power. We have followed your fortunes 

 with profit and interest; and although the musical 

 hum of the bees no longer enlivens the gardens of 

 our Acadian home, yet we love the subject you ad- 

 vocate, and long for the time when we can restock 

 our deserted apiary. Twelve papers and magazines 

 visit usregulirlv. We thousrht less might do. Well, 

 which one shall we st 'P? is the question of the fam- 

 ily in council. We have no bees. Gi..eanings very 

 naturally looks like the one to go. We think of the 

 pleasim hours spent iD poring over its interesting 

 pages, and soon decide. It is too old a friend; we 

 can not 1ft it go. Well, we inclose $5 00, and want 

 you to book us for two yi^ars, and 1 will find new 

 gubscribers for the other three copies, tso you mail 

 me 4 copies for 18^3, and one for 18.^3. This we think 

 will not materially affect your terms for securing a 

 Waterbury watch. G. C. Millkk. 



Middleton, Annapolis Co., Nova Scotia, Dec. 33, '81. 



Pleafie send me the nnmes of those persons who 

 wanted the Home Papers stopped in Gl,eaninos. If 

 they can not afford to pay for them, let you and I 



gav for them. I will pay one-half and you the other 

 aif, for I think Gleanings is a good journal with- 

 out Our Homes in it; but with the Home Papers it 

 is without a rival, for I consider that you have Gtid 

 in partnership with you, and don't you dissolve that 

 partnership. John W. Ross. 



Velisco, Brazoria Co., Tex., Jan., 1883. 

 [God bless you for your kind offer, friend R. ! I 

 have already several times proposed to send Glean- 

 ings to the end of the year to those who objected to 

 the Home Papers, and then leave it to them what 

 amount they should pay; b)it I believe they alwavs 

 paid the full dollar. Since the new year, I do not 

 remember to have seen m.>re than three who ob- 

 jected. I will give their names if they wish T should. 

 "When Our Homes was started, I supposed I should 

 lose snbscribera by it; but of late, since it has 

 transpired that thev are to be a source of income to 

 me, I am in great danger of becoming proud, and 

 forgetting how it was that I reached so many hearts. 

 It is now, dear friends, while God seems to think fit 

 to give me means and influence, that I need your 

 prayers more than I ever did before, that my Savior 

 may not only be a partner in business, but first in 

 all things.]

 alt those having honey lo sell, as well as those wanting to buy. 

 Please mention how much, what kind, and prices, as far as pos- 

 sible. As a general thing, 1 would not advise you to send your 

 toney away to be sold on commission. It near home, where 

 you can looK after it, it Is often a very good way. By all means, 

 develop your home market. For 25 cents we can furnish little 

 boards to hang up In your dooryard, with the words, "Honey 

 for Sale, " neatly painted. If wanted by mail, 10 cents extra for 

 postage. Boaa-ds saying ' ' Bees and Queens lor Sale, ' ' same 

 pi.'ioe.

Chicago.— Honey.— Since my last quotation, the 

 market on extracted honey has strengthened, and I

 more frequent, as compared with last year. It sells 

 on commission at 17®23c for choice white. lam 

 paying 18@33cfor beeswax, cash on arrival.
