alent of five frames of brood and bees. Four 

 or five days later put on an upper story on 

 each alternative hive of the class of colonies 

 from which you removed a queen, alternating 

 the frames of brood and bees, both in the 

 lower and upper story, and there will be no 

 lighting. If your hives are standing close in 

 pairs, nearly all the bees will remain where 

 you put them. At this time I would intro- 

 duce a young laying queen to each of these 

 double colonies. Let them thus remain until 

 most of the brood is hatched. When the 

 time for supers arrives contract the brood- 

 chamber to five combs, give each colony a 

 case of drawn comb or foundation, and watch 

 the honey-How. If it is slow, one super is 

 enough. My faith in tiering-up is about torn 

 up. 



But to return to the second weaker colonies 

 from which we drew our batch of brood. 

 This class of colonies has each a second- 

 class queen, a little patch of brood, and some 

 field-bees. What shall we do with them '. 

 Let them alone until the time you expect 

 your best colonies to swarm. At this time I 

 would draw frames of brood from each colony 

 likely to swarm, contract the brood-chamber 

 to five frames, and use the frames of brood 

 and weak colonies in building up colonies. 

 Such colonies will do good work in closing up 

 the season.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Aug. 22.— White comb brings 15c 

 per pound for the choice g'rades,with other lines 

 not grading No. 1 selling at 13(«!l4c; light am- 

 ber, UMl.^c; dark, 10@llc. Extracted, fair de- 

 mand at .^^s(aJ6c for white, and S'4C05iic for am- 

 ber; dark grades, 5c. Beeswax steady at 30c 

 for choice yellow. R. A. BnRNETT & Co. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 10.— The honey market is 

 rather dull on account of the warm weather. 

 Extracted sells only to manufacturers from 

 5(gJt.c; better grades alfalfa water-white from 

 6@7c; white clover from .Sfgt9c. Fancy white 

 comb honey sells from J3^(015'4c. 



C. H. W. Wbbkr. 



Boston, Aug. 19.— Our market today is about 

 16@17c tor fancy; A No. 1, IS^foiK.c; No. 1, 14@ 

 15c. Extracted, full supply, light demand. 



Several lots of new Veiniont "honey in cartons 

 have thus far b^en received, meeting a ready 

 sale at 17c, although of course in a small way. 

 The trade generally seems disposed to hold off, 

 looking for larger receipts and lower prices. 

 This is somewhat due, of course, to the fact 

 that the demand is still light owing to the warm 

 weather. Cooler weather will make a better de- 

 mand and naturally make a belter feeling. 



Blake, Scott & Lbb. 



Albany, N. Y., Aug. 20.— We quote: Fancy 

 white comb, I6(a)17c; No. 1, ISIglt.c: No. 2, 13(^ 

 14c: mixed, 12(s'13c, Extracted, light, 7wi7}ic; 

 mixed, (,'A(qt^c. H. R. Wrioht. 



Omaha, Aug. 8. — New comb honey is arriving 

 by express in small quantities from Iowa and 

 Colorado, and selling at $3 50 per case in a re- 

 tail way. California extracted honey is being 

 offered carlots at 45^@45<;c per pound, f.o.b. Cal- 

 ifornia shipping-points, but we have not heard 

 of any sales having been made thus far. The 

 production of extracted honev seems to be quite 

 large this year in Colorado, Utah and Califor- 

 nia. Peycee Bros. 



New York, Aug. 7.— There is some demand 

 for new crop of comb honey, and receipts are 

 quite numerous for this time of the year. They 

 have been principally from the South, but we 

 are now beginning to receive shipments from 

 New York State and near-by. We quote: Fancy 

 white, 15c; No. 1 white, 13(ai4c; amber, ll(ai2c. 

 No new buckwheat is on the market as yet, and 

 we do not expect any before next month. 



Extracted is decidedly dull. Plenty offerings, 

 with only a limited demand, and quotations are 

 rather nominal. We are selling at from 5^0^c, 

 according to quality, and Southern in barrels 

 at from 55(^1 65c per gallon. Beeswax dull and 

 declining; for the present we quote 27(g;28c. 



HlLDRETH & SbOELKBN. 



Des Moi.nes, Aug. 7.— There is very little 

 doing here in new crop of honey. Some small 

 lots of near-by produced comb honey are on the 

 market and selling in a retail way' at $3.50 to 

 $3.75 per case. We do not look for much trade 

 in this line before Sept. 1. Our market does not 

 consume a great deal of extracted honev. 



Peycke Bros. & Ch'aney. 



Detroit, Aug. 12.— Fancy white comb honey, 

 14@15c; No. 1, 13@14c; no dark to quote. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 6@7c. Beeswax, 25(g^2bc. 



M. H. Hunt & Son. 



Buffalo, Aug. 10.— Quite a good demand for 

 fancy honey, 16@17c, and lower grades, 12@14c; 

 old neglected. Advise moderate shipments only 

 of new as yet. Battbrson <& Co. 



San Francisco, Aug. 14.— White comb, 11® 

 125^ cents; amber, 8®10c; dark, 6@7!^c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, S%(s) — ; light amber, 4i<(S5c: 

 amber. 4(rii4^c. Beeswax. 26(a2.8c. 



Market continues quiet, with apiarists, as a 

 rule, unwilling to unload at prices generally 

 named by wholesale operators. Quotations rep- 

 resent as nearly as possible the values ruling 

 at this date for round lots, although free sales 

 could not probably be effec'ed at full figures, 

 while, on the other hand, higher prices than 

 quoted are heing realized in the hlling of some 

 small orders. 



K.-iNSAS City, Aug. 6. — Some very fine Mis- 

 souri honey is now on the market, selling at 

 16@17c per pound for fancy white comb. Cdlo- 

 rado and Utah shippers are offering new comb 

 honey in carlots for first half of August ship- 

 ment at IHc per pound for No. 1, and owii^c for 

 No. 2, f.o.b. shipping-point. The market for ex- 

 tracted hor.ey is as yet rather unsettled, asking 

 prices ranging from 45i@4\c, f.o.b. shipping- 

 point. llu\cr.':, however, seem to be in no hurry 

 to make contracts. Pevcke Bros.
