Chicago. Dec. 2q.— The year closed with 

 verv little change in the price of comb 

 honey. Fancy brings 18c. Xo. i. 17c. and the 

 other grades from id'ic less. The amber 

 grades are more uncertain in price and are 

 accumulating. Extracted honey is steady 

 from 8@gc for white, with amber grades 7@8c. 

 Clean beeswax is bringing 32c. and sells up- 

 on arrival. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Denver. Dec. 30. — Demand for honey is

 days, prices are well maintained, however, 

 especially on first-class extracted. Our job- 

 bing Quotations are as follows: Strictly .\o.

Cincinnati. Dec. 30.— Comb honey is in 

 fair demand, and same is selling at S? 75 per 

 case for No. i white. Amber extracted, in 

 barrels, is selling at 7C: in cans 7's@8c. 

 White extracted honey in 60-lb. cans at g@ioc. 

 California light amber at 8',2C. All grades of 

 extracted honey are in fair demand. Bees- 

 wax is in fair demand at $32 per 100 pounds. 

 These are our selling prices, not what we 

 arc paying. C. H W Weber & Co 



Indianapolis, Dec. 20.— The demand for 

 best grades of white honey is brisk. Job- 

 bers are offering fancy white comb at i8c: 

 No. I white at I7C. Finest extracted at lie. 

 with some slight reductions on Quantity 

 lots. It is to be presumed that producers 

 are being paid about 2 cents less, per pound, 

 than above prices. Amber honey is in poor 

 demand here. Producers of beeswax are 

 being paid 28 cents cash, or 30 cents in ex- 

 change for merchandise,

Zanesville. Ohio. Dec. 20.— The usual 

 holiday lull characterizes the honey market. 

 Some late arrivals have filled stocks up for 

 the time being, and indications are that 

 movement will be slow for a month or six 

 weeks. For No. i to fancy white comb the 

 jobbing trade are offering i6@i7C. and for 

 best white extracted 8;2@oc. Wholesale 

 prices run about 2C higher than above. For 

 beeswax, producers are offered 28c cash, or 

 30c in trade. Edmund W. Peirce. 



Boston. Dec. 30.— Fancy and No. t white 

 comb honey. I5@i6c. Fancy white extracted. 

 io®iic. Beeswax. 30c. Blake.-Lee Co. 



New York. Dec. 30.— During the past 3 or 4 

 weeks the demand for comb honey has fallen 

 considerably on all grades. This, however, 

 is usually the case at this time of the year, 

 especially for No. i and fancy white. Off 

 grades of wliite. mixed and buckwheat, es- 

 pecially the latter, are finding very slow- 

 sale, and we find it up-hill work in trying to 

 find buyers for even strictly fancy buck- 

 wheat. Some commission houses are offer- 

 ing buckwheat comb honey as low as 8c per 

 pound, and no buyers. We quote fancy 

 white 15c per pound; No. i at from 13614c; 

 off grades at from io@i2c; and mixed and 



buckwheat at from o@ioc. Extracted is in 

 fair demand, with a rather short supply of 

 white clover and California. In fact. Cali- 

 fornia honey is practically cleaned out. We 

 quote white clover and basswood at from 

 giavjjjc; light amber at from SOSSic; buck- 

 wheat and amber at from -&-',ic: West In- 

 dia and fancy Porto Rican at from 8;@goc 

 per gallon; other kinds at from 75@8oc: 

 Southern, choice quality, at from 75@8oc per 

 gallon; common grades at from 70@75c. 

 Beeswax quiet at from 2g@3oc per pound.

Sweet Clover Seed ! 



Sweet Clo\er is rapidly becoming one of 

 the most useful things that can be grown on 

 the farm. Its value as a honey-plant is well 

 known to bee-keepers, but its worth as a 

 forage-plant and also as an enricher of the 

 soil are not so widely known. However. 

 Sweet Clover is coming to the front very 

 fast these days. Some years ago it was con- 

 sidered as a weed by those who knew no 

 better. The former attitude of the enlight- 

 ened farmer today is changing to a great re- 

 spect for and appreciation of Sweet Clover, 

 both as a food for stock and as a valuable 

 fertilizer for poor and worn out soils. 



The seed can be sown any time from now 

 until next .•\pril or May. From 18 to 20 

 pounds per acre of the unhulled seed is 

 about the right quantity to sow. 



We can ship promptly at the following 

 prices: 



Postpaid. I pound for 30 cents, or 2 pounds 

 for 50 cents. By express f. o. b. Chicago— 

 5 pounds for 75c; 10 pounds for Si. 20; 25 

 pounds for S3. 00; 50 pounds for S5.50; or 100 

 pounds for Sio.oo. 



If wanted by freight, it will be necessary to 

 add 25 cents more for cartage to the above 

 prices on each order. 



If seed is desired of the Yellow Sweet 

 Clover, add 3 cents per pound to the above 

 prices.

Our Line of Bee-Keepers' Supplies. 



Frederick, Md., Jan. 14, 1910. 

 Gentlemen; — I made several hives before I ordered 

 a hive from you some time back, but they were so bad 

 I made them over again. I want to say I will never 

 attempt to make any more ; for when I saw the hive 

 you sent me I was ashamed of mine, so I cut them 

 down to regular size and cast away all inside fixtures. 

 When I need hives again I will get yours. 



B. N. Christ. 



(ienllcmin : 



I have just received my goods. I am more than 

 pleased with them. I had intended to make my hives ; 

 but when I received the sample hive and saw the No. 

 1 pine lumber it was made of, and considered the 

 workmanship, I felt satisfied that I could buy cheaper 

 than I could make them — enough cheaper to save the 

 price of the lumber. Yours. 



O. C. Mills. 



Winter Work 



It is none too early to begin to think of supplies for next season. If you get your goods early you 

 will avoid the rush of the busy season later, and you can really buy to better advantage now than at any 

 other time during the year. Even if your order is small, it will pay you to save something on it ; and if 

 you use a large quantity of goods during the season you surely can not afford not to take advantage of 

 our early-order discount, which is three percent for all cash orders received before January l.'jth. 



You may order your goods now and have them come along later, or we will ship at once and you 

 will have time to get them ready for the harvest next spring at your leisure during the winter. We are 

 always glad to make suggestions and quote prices on any list submitted. If you have never bought sup- 

 plies from us, try us this season and see if you do not agree with us that we furnish the best bee-supplies 

 made, and give you the best possible service. It means a good deal to YOU to get the best of goods and 

 servic- for YOCR money. We give you both. Try us.
