Medina, Nov. 1, 1873. 



Extracted honey lias "got over' being 

 a drug in the market. 



We hoM the remainder of our clover 

 honey at 2'_>o. retail, or 20c. by the quan- 

 tity. 



We are very careful to mail "Glean- 

 ings" correctly. Most of the failures 

 have occurred when- subscribers have 

 omitted to give their county. 



Tub price of "Gleanings" for 187-J will 

 be 75 cents, and should we enlarge it, as 

 we may do in case the circulation in- 

 creases sufficiently, no farther increase in 

 price will be called for. For $1.00 wo 

 will include photograph of Apiary, or it 

 will be sent to anj' one sending us one 

 name besides their own at 75 cents. 



Ik (here are any ot our friend* who have 

 not received their queens or money when 

 this number reaches them, we hope they 

 will advise us of the fact at once. Our 

 limited experience this fall has convinced 

 us of the great advantages that would ac- 

 crue to all parties if the queens, like oth- 

 er goods, could he shipped the day the 

 order was received, /. /•., during the queen 

 rearing months. Those old in the busi- 

 ness may smile at the idea, yet we have 

 faith that it. can be done, and wo shall 

 endeavor the coming winter to make 

 preparations to that effect. It seems to 

 us that 'tis no very difficult matter for an 

 experienced bee keeper, with fifty colo- 

 nies, to rear one thousand queens in a 

 season, and at one dollar each this would 

 he a very fair income. Who will volun- 

 teer to assist in the work of disseminating 

 Italian bees at prices which the masses 

 ean afford to pay ?

I. We respectfully solicit the aid of our 

 friends in conducting this department, and 

 would consider it a favor to have them send 

 us all circulars that have a deceptive appear- 

 ance. The greatest care will beat all times 

 maintained to prevent injustice being done 

 any one.]

By referring to our last number out- 

 readers will see that .Mr. Flick claims to 

 have invented this during the winter of 

 1871-72, with the assistance of the "ex- 

 pert New York chemist," costing him 

 nearly $500, etc., etc., but it is really 

 nothing more than a copy of the old 

 honey recipe, without a single addition or 

 improvement. In fact our readers will 

 find the whole, with some valuable com- 

 ments and suggestions thereon, in I'r, 

 Chase's Receipt Book, published in 1867, 

 The whole book can be purchased for 

 $1,25 — seventy-five cents less than .Mr. 

 Flick charges for his one receipt. Jn hi-> 

 advertisement in the Journals Mr. Flick 

 mentions his artificial honey in a way 

 that would lead readers to expect his 

 Busy Bee to contain the process of mak- 

 ing it, but when the circular is purchased.
