GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

BEESWAX DECLINING. 



The slips sent out in our ctitalogs tliis spring-, 

 headed " Beeswax Wanted," seem to have started 

 the flood-tide our way, for it is simply a caution the 

 way the wax lias been coming' to us the past two 

 months. Although we use from 3 to 5 tons a month, 

 it has been coming- about as fast as we have used 

 it, and we still have mo-t of the stock bong-ht in 

 Marcli, which we expe<*ted to have used up the past 

 month. We don't mind having- a g-ood st(5ck of wax, 

 but dislike to lay in so much on a falling: market. 

 We decline the price we will pay. to 35o cash, 28c 

 trade, with prospect of further decline in the near 

 future. 



SEND ON YOUR ORDERS. 



As we go to press we have all orders tilled, and are 

 able to take a vacation Memorial Day with a clear 

 conscience. Tiiere are, of course, a few received 

 too late to get off on the last trains leaving, and no 

 freig-ht trains run on leg-al holidays. If you want 

 any thing- in a hurry which we can supply, let us 

 hear from you and we will show you how promptly 

 we can get the goods started. The crowd, when or- 

 ders were delayed a, few days, lasted only a short 

 time; and it is doubtless due t(j the recent cold 

 weather and frosts, and the consequent dropping- 

 otl of orders, as well as to our extra ettorffe, that we 

 were able to catch up again. 



WIRE NETTING; SHORT ROLLS AT FULL-ROLL 

 PRICES OR LESS. 



We have the following lot of wire netting of vari- 

 ous sizes and widths in short or odd-length rolls. 

 Very often a person wants a piece and can not buy 

 it cut from a full roll -in ithout pa.ving double price. 

 You may be able to find in this list just what you 

 need, or very near it. Even if you want more than 

 a full roll you will find the prices at which we oflfer 

 these to be in most cases less than full-roll price. 



Of 3-inch mesh No. 19 wire, we have the following 

 remnants and short rolls at A c per square foot. 

 The figures at the left give the width in inches, and 

 the other figures give length of each piece in feet. 

 Multiply this by the width in feet, then take one- 

 half of the result to find the price of ench piece.
