as when put up. I am selling all the 

 time. I have not found one jar can- 

 died. I heat it in the jars with water 

 around it and under it, sealing it hot. 

 The water should come to the necks of 

 the jars, but don't let the water boil 

 around the jars ; as soon as it begins 

 to move around the jars, take them out. 

 If the water does not come to the necks 

 of the jars you will have a poor job — 

 bottom too hot and top not hot enough. 

 Of course, 125 degrees for several days 

 or weeks is better. Irving Long.

Election of National Directors. 



I see in the American Bee Journal of 

 July 24 that its columns are open to 

 the discussion of the election of direct- 

 ors of the National Bee-Keepers' As- 

 sociation. What I would recommend 

 as the best plan would necessitate a 

 change in the Constitution, Art. IV, 

 Sec. 1. Instead of a board of 12, let 

 us have a man from every State, or 

 where the States are small, and but

Best Extracted Honey For Sale 



All in 60-lb. 

 Tin Cans..*.. 



Bass wood 

 Honey 



This is the well-known 

 light-colored honey gath- 

 ered from the rich, nec- 

 tar-laden basswood blos- 

 soms. It has a stronger 

 flavor than Alfalfa, and 

 is preferred by those who 

 like a distinct flavor in 

 their honey. 



Alfalfa 

 Honey 



This is the tamou'; 

 White Extracted Honey 

 gathered in the great Al- 

 falfa regions of the Cen- 

 tral West. It is a splen- 

 did honey, and nearly 

 everybody who cares to 

 eat honey at all can't get 

 enough of the Alfalfa ex- 

 tracted. 



Prices of Alfalfa or Bas&wood Honey: 



A sample of either, by mail, 10 cents, to pav for package and postage. By freight— two 

 60-pound cans of Alfalfa, &\4 cents per pound: 4 cans or more, 8 cents a pound. Basswood 

 Honey, half-cent more per pound than Alfalfa prices. Cash must accompany each order. 

 You can order half of each kind of honey, it you so desire. The cans are two in a box, and 

 freight is not prepaid. ABSOLUTELY PUKK BKES' HONEY. 



Order the Above Honey and then Sell It. 



We would suggest that those bee-keepers who did not produce enough honey for their 

 home demand, just order some of the above, and sell it. And others, who want to earn some 

 money, can gel this honey and work up a demand for it almost anywhere.
