GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Skpt, 



on your douuiiii:" and then [w, urges. "An eye 

 for an eye, and a tooth for a tootli." O dear 

 friends, sliall we not hold fast to the teacliings 

 of the Bible? I hope every member of our es- 

 tablishment will remember that, inasmuch as 

 friend Newman's voice has (at least ovice) been 

 heard in prayer at our noonday service, his 

 name, and that of the journal he represents, 

 may for all time to come be held by us all in 

 revei'ence and respect long after the present 

 editors have been gathered to their eternal 

 home.

terry's book on strawberries. 



We expect tliis to be I'eudy to niail within three or 

 four days. I think it will pay every strawberry- 

 grower who has a bed of fifty plants or nwjre. Tlie 

 price is 35 cts.; bj' mail, 40. 



half the price of new type. If you dcjn't want so 

 much, write, naming- %he amount you can use, and 

 we will make a price. AVe would much prefer to sell 

 all in one lot, and that is why we make the price so 

 low. 



ARIZONA HONEY. 



In the two weeks that have elapsed since tlie car- 

 load of honey readied us from Arizona we have dis- 

 posed of all the comb honey and nearly a third of the 

 extracted. After writing- tlie notice for last issue we 

 found that there was in the car some 2d and 3d 

 grades that we can offer a little lower. We find, 

 also, that neai-ly half tlie car is mesquite, which is 

 lighter colored than the alfalfa, and a better flavor, 

 if possible. We will mail sa'nples of any kind or 

 grade free on application. The price is 10c per lb. 

 for one to five 60-lb. cans; 9c pei' lb. for from 3 to 10 

 cases of 3 cans each. In lots of 10 cases (1200 lbs.) or 

 moie, 8c per lb. Second grade, '/i cent per lb. less; 

 3d grade, 1 cent per lb. less than 1st grade. These 

 2d and 3d grades are not far below the first; but if 

 you hesitate about buying, send for a sample which 

 we will mail free on application. 



GRAND RAPIDS LETTUCE SEED WANTED. 



If any of our readers have any, please tell us what 

 you have and what you will take for it, or send what 

 you have by mail, and we will pay you a good price 

 for it. 



COIN-SILVER WATCHES. 



W^e have in stock three solid coin-silver watches, 

 stem -wind and set, open face, 14 size, with seven 

 jewels, Waltham movement. We otter them post^ 

 paid and registered for $10.00 each. They have a 

 plain 3-oz. case, and we warrant for 30 days. 



TIN-CASED GLASSED OIL-CANS. 



We are able to offer a tin-cased glass oil-can, to 

 hold a gallon, for 25c each, $2.80 per box of 1 dozen. 

 These have a spout with stopper, a 1-inch tin screw 

 cap for fillinu, and a bale to carry by. They would 

 ■make an e.xeellent article to sell extracted honey in; 

 for when empty it can be put to good u.se. 



.MISMATED QUEENS. 



We have a few mismated queens in our apiary that 

 we should like to dispose of during the next two 

 weeks. They are goctd thrif(.>- queens, reared from 

 pure Italian mothers, but their jirofieny does not show 

 the full markings of Italians, and lieni-e they have to 

 go for hybrids. Price 3.5c each, or 3 for $1.00, while 

 they last. 



EXTRA WHITE COMB HONEY. 



We have secin-ed about two tons of very fine wliite 

 ■comb honev fnmi Matthias Schneider, Jr., of Iosco 

 County, Mich. About half of it is in 12-lb., the 

 rest is in 34-lb. glassed cases. The net weight is 

 about 11 and 32 lbs. each. We otfer this at the fol- 

 lowing prices: Less than ten 13-lb. or five 24-lb. cases, 

 18c per lb. From 10 to .50 of the 13-lb. and 5 to 25 

 34-lb., 17c per U). Above this amount, 16 cents. 



HENIS FRUIT-PRESS ADVANCED. 



We regret to be obliged to withdraw the present 

 low price on this very convenient and useful house- 

 hold utensil that has met with such favor. Since we 

 first ottered it for sale about a year and a half ago, 

 we have sold nearly 10 gross. Kecently a new firm 

 lias taken hold of it; and as it is pa'^en ted, they, of 

 course, control the price. Their first move is to ad- 

 vance the price to nearly doul)le what it was. Foi- 

 the present th'. price will lie 35c each; $3.50 per doz- 

 en, or .fO.OO per box of 3 dozen. 



SEC^OND-HAND TYPE FOR SALE. 



(^ur re;ideis will discover that this issue of Glean- 

 ings is in a new dress of tyiie. Instead of setting- 

 part in nonpareil and part in brevier wc have fallen 

 in with the general custom, and use only one size, 

 called minion, the articles being set solid, and the 

 answers leaded. This leaves us with aboul 3.5ii lbs. 

 of second-hand brevier type in fairiy good condition, 

 which we otter for sale at 30c per lb., which is about 



THE ILLUSTRATED HOME JOURNAL. 



This excellent monthly home magazine is published 

 by Thos. G. Newman & Son, the editors of the Ameri- 

 (■(in Bee Jnunml. It is a 32-page monthly, fully il- 

 lustrated on nearly every page, and brimful of good, 

 clean, interesting reading. Every number, we no- 

 tice, also contains a song- with music. It is a journal 

 that ought to be in every home; and to make it still 

 easier for you to place it there, the publishers have 

 made us a proposition whereby we can club it with 

 Gleanings one year for only $1.35, and all new sub- 

 scribers will receive the Home Journal lor the rest of 

 this year and all of 1891. Just think of it! If you 

 subscribe now for Gleanings and the Illustrated 

 Home Journal, sending $1.35, you will receive fifteen 

 numbers of the journal for the extra 35 cents — only 

 a little over 3 cents each. This is a magnificent otfer 

 that many should accept. We will club the Ame7'ican 

 Bee Journal along with the two for $2.25.

THE DAISY WHEELBARROW. 



We received the wheelbarrow all right. It pleases

 bai-row very much, but thought her horse a little 

 frisky and unsteady. Arthur T. Reed.

OUR METHOD OF SHIPPING STRAWBERRY-PL.4NTS.

 your exertions to do as you would be done by.

Forest City, Mo., Aug. 20. 



pleased WITH OUR FOUNTAIN PEN. 



I am just in receipt of the Bateman fountain pen, 

 ordered of you, and I herewith wish to express my 

 satisfactiouin using it. Fountain pens have been 

 very extensively advertised in the papers for some 

 years past, but I thought I could not risk to invest 

 hi one, until I saw the one recommended by A. I. 

 Root. Then I was sure I should find one just as rep- 

 resented, and I ordered one forthwith. I can say 

 that T am well jileased with it so far, and have no 

 doubt but that it will continue to do good service 

 for a long time. Samuel E. Miller.
