 also, that we are making' special prices, Ijelow cata- 

 log' quotations, on comb f()uudati(jn ordered this 

 fall. 



COMB HONEY. 



Our supply of comb lioiiey is exhausted. We h ive 

 some offers, and may ha\ e a supply \»ithiii a few 

 days. Wesliould be pleased to hear from those not 

 t«o far away who ii re seeking' a market. We liave 

 an opening in Cleveland for several thousand 

 pounds of choice hone.v in 1-lb. secllnns. The price 

 is not as strong hs we wish it were in the interests 

 of bee-kei pers. The Cleveland market brings 14 to 

 16 cents tor best grades, less freights and cummis 

 sions. 



EXTRACTED HONEY. 



We have a good supply (5f choice extracted honey 

 in 60-lb. cans. We have i)oth the Califurnia while 

 sage and clover and basswood; also some very tine 

 white ho ley, of a mild and ple:isant flavor, from 

 Michigan. Early in the season the Michigan bee- 

 keepers were feeling discouraged at the outlook; 

 but many of them have st cured a good crop of 

 very tine honej% gathered nrainly in July and Au- 

 gust, from something not generally known as a 

 honey-plant. We should be glad to know more of 

 the source of this crop of honey. Our pri'-es are 8c 

 per lb. by the case of 2 cans, for any of the .above- 

 named varieties. Large lots, at special prices, 

 quoted to those interested. 



AUGITE STOVE-MATS. 



Although we 

 have not been 

 sajing much about 

 these mats lately 

 they have not lost 

 one whit of their 

 virtue. Tlie man 

 who has tailed as 

 yet to supply his 

 wife or cook with 

 one or more of 

 them ought to be 

 ashamed of liim- 

 self. Tho.'-e who 

 use them say tliey 

 would not be with- 

 out them because 

 of their great ad- 

 vantage in cook- 

 ing; and to think 

 that any cook should be oi)lige(l to gi't along with- 

 out one when the best one made, the originiil au- 

 gite, can be oljtained for 5 cents eaeli, 50 cents per 

 doz., or ■'B5.00 per gross; by msiil 5c each. 50c per doz. 

 extra. If you can not atford these prices you can 

 still get the mat free. We are determined to get 

 them into the homes of all our readers and their 



friends, so far as we are able, and are willing to go 

 more than half wny. Send in your renewal to 

 Gleanings before the time paid for is up, and we 

 will mail you a mat free; or secure a new subscrib- 

 er to Gleanings and send it with $1.00 and we will 

 send you 2 mats, or one to you and one to the sub- 

 sci'iber, as you may direct; and please nut ice, all 

 new subscriptions received befoi-e Jan. 1, 1S96, will 

 receive the paper from the time the subscription is 

 received till Jan. 1. 1807— that is, 15 months if sent 

 right away. This is in addition to any premium 

 that we may offer; but ?'eme)?thc)', if we oUer more 

 than one premium you must choose between them. 

 You are not entitled to several unless it is plainly 

 so stated in the otter. Now, we want to see (jur 

 pile of thirt.v gross of mats sjieedily reduced; and 

 that we shall have to get more to supply the de- 

 mand.
