careful not to ^el it on tbe liiis;t-rs : but after 

 it is mixed with the syrup, it is perfectly 

 harmless to man or bees. Naphthol-beta can 

 be obtained for -'.i cents an ounce; and at 

 this low price no bee-keeper can afford not to 

 take the precaution. 



In making the syrup we recommend half 

 sugar and half cold water. There is no need 

 of heating, provided thorough stirring is used, 

 either with a stick and tub, or, better still, in 

 an extractor in the manner explained. We 

 have fed a half-and-half mixture for several 

 years; and since using it we have never had 

 any trouble from its going back to sugar in 

 the cells after the bees have put it into the 

 comb. For very late feeding it may be advis- 

 able to use one part of water and two of 

 sugar.— Gleanings in Bee-Culture. 



Honey =Cakes. 



It seems a good thing that fashion maga- 

 zines of wide circulation should help to in- 

 crease the use of honey. The following 

 recipe is from the Delineator : 



Mix thoroughly one quart of honey, ^., 

 pound pulverized sugar. ^., pound fresh but- 

 ter, juice of 2 oranges; then stir in gradually 

 enough sifted flour to make a dough stiff 

 enough to roll out easily. Turn out on a 

 molding-board; beat well for a few minutes 

 with a rolling-pin ; then roll out into sheets 

 half an inch thick; cut into round cakes, and 

 bake in shallow buttered pans.

I HONEY AND BEESWAX i 



MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Sept. 18.— No. 1 white comb honey 

 is selling at 15c per pound, with occasionally a 

 little more being obtained for fancy, that which 

 does not grade No. 1 selling at from 13f&'14c, 

 with the light amber at 12'" 13c; dark honey of 

 various kinds selling at 10(gillc. Extracted in 

 moderate demand at from 5Mf«'6Hc for the vari- 

 ous grades of white; some fancy white clover

 ing from S'^f" 5*4c; dark at 5@5^'4C. Beeswax 

 firm at 2S(q)30c. R. A. Borwett & Co. 



Cincinnati, Aug. 10.— The honey market is 

 rather dull on account of the warm weather. 

 E.\tracted sells only to manufacturers from 

 5@t>c; better grades alfalfa water-white from 

 tj@7c; white clover from MC&iOc. Fancy white 

 comb honev sells from ]3J4@15f^c. 



C, H.W.Weber. 



Boston, Sept. 14.— Honey is coming forward 

 in fair quantities and the demand is good, con- 

 sidering the warm weather we are having. 

 Strictly fancy in cartons wequote at lt.c; A No. 

 1. ISc: No. 1, 14@l5c. Very little No. 2 being re- 

 ceived. Blake, Scott & Lbb. 



Albany, N. Y., Sept. 19.— We quote: Fancy 

 white comb, lt.c; No. 1, 15c; mixed, 13(« 14c; No. 

 1 buckwheat or amber, 12@13c. Extracted* 

 white, 7(d)7^c; light, 65^f«'7c; dark, S5^(ai6c. Bees- 

 wax, 28(a'.29c. H, R. Wright. 



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

 by express in small quantities from Iowa and 

 Colorado, and selling at $3 5i) per case in a re- 

 tail way. California extracted honey is being 

 offered carlots at 4j4@4^^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 honey seems to be quite 

 large this year in Colorado, Utah and Califor- 

 nia. Peycke Bros. 



New York, Sept. 10.— Comb honey is now be- 

 ginning to arrive in large quantities, and, as a 

 rule, quality is fine. The demand is good, and 

 we quote as follows: Fancy white, 14^»15c: No. 

 1, 13c; No. 2, 12c; and amber, lie. No buck- 

 wheat is on tbe market as yet, but are expect- 

 ing same within a week or so. Extracted is 

 selling slowly, with plenty of supply, at ?(a'bl4c^ 

 according to quality, and Southern in barrels 

 at from 5S(s'-oSc per gallon. Beeswax dull at 27c. 

 Hildreth & Seoblken. 



Des Moines, 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 honey. 



Peycke Brcs. & Chaney. 



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

 14@15c; No. 1, I3@14c; no dark to quote. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 6(a'7c. Beeswax, 25(ai26c. 



M. H. Hunt & Son. 



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

 fancy honey, lof5'17c, and lower grades, 12(i3)14c; 

 old neglected. Advise moderate shipments only 

 of new as yet. Batterson & Co. 



San Francisco, Sept. 4.— White comb, 10^ 

 12 cents; amber, 7@nc; dark, 6@7i^ cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, S%@~; light amber, 4H®-; 

 amber, 4@— . Beeswax, 26@28c. 



Arrivals and spot offerings are of rather mod- 

 erate volume, but there is as much or more on 

 market than can be conveniently or advanta- 

 geously placed. To secure liberal wholesale 

 custom, prices would have to be shaded in favor 

 of buyers. In a small way for especially desi- 

 rable lots slightly higher ligures than are 

 cjuoted are realized. 



Kansas City, Sept. 14.— Up to the present 

 time only small lots of new comb honey have 

 been on the market, and these met with ready 

 sale on the basis of 15@l(>c per pound for fancy 

 white. For next week heavier receipts are ex- 

 pected and (juutations are issued at f3.10(aj$3.25 

 per case for large lots, which would be equal to 

 about 14@14J^c; the demand beincr quite brisk, 

 a lirm market is anticipated. Inquiries for ex- 

 tracted are a little more numerous, but large 

 buyers still seem to have their ideas too low. In 

 a small way S%(<p(}C is quotable.
