SUNDRY MATTERS. 



Sek advertisement of Ohio Farmer in this No. It is 

 among the oldest of its kind in the country, and in 

 many respects fills a place that could not well be oc- 

 cupied by any other paper. It is a large, tastelully 

 printed, weekly paper, anil the series of excellent 

 homelike letters from "Mrs. Sam Starkey" should 

 ailone give it a warm welcome in everv farmer's home. 



iN' our March No. we will enclose to every one of 

 you, three samples of what we. can do on Honey La- 

 bels, both in (juality of work and prices. It always 

 affords us pleasure to be able to reduce i>rices on any 

 staple commodity to our customers ; and when we can 

 at the same time show them something unusually neat 

 and pretty, it is an additional pleasure. 



When we are in want of any seeds that must be ab- 

 solutely just what we order, we always go to \i. H. 

 Stair & Co., and our business experience with them 

 has been tor many vears of the pleasantest nature. 

 Auil now Messrs B. H. S. & Co., we wish vou to be pre- 

 jiared to fiu'iiish our reailers with the qetiiUne Chinese 

 Mustard seed mentioned by Dr. Kirtland in his excel- 

 lent letter. 



Wax Wanted.

 I am troubled to find the pure article in sutlicient quan- 

 tity to meet my demand. Am not ])articular about

 as well. J. K. South wou in. North Brooktield, Mass.

ALL 



I cop 



Nearly every applicant for gearing for ex- 

 tractors, so far this year, has omitted to meu- 

 iton size of frame used, so that we wore obliged 

 to delay lilling orders until we could get a 

 second note from them. Please bear in mind 

 that we have two different castings for the arm 

 that attaches the gearing to the side of the can. 

 One with the proper curve to lit a 20 inch can, 

 and the other for a 17 inch can. The former 

 should be used for Quinl)y, American, and all 

 frames that exceed 11^4 inches in measurement 

 the narrowest way; the latter for Langstroth, 

 Gallup, and all that have one of their dimen- 

 sions III4 or less. We ])refer to use the large 

 size for our Standard as it enables us to hang 

 it in the extractor just as it hangs in the hive. 



As there now seems a prospect of making our 

 Medley more complete tlian at lirst intciided we 

 shall delay it still furtlier. An invitation is 

 without exception extended to all Bee-keepers in 

 — well, in the world for that matter, to send in 

 their Photo's. We shall put in every picture 

 sent us, so that there may l)e no ground for 

 accusing us of partiality in" the matter. Quin- 

 l)y and Langstroth we ])resiime you all agree 

 should ])e accorded a central i)osition in view 

 of their having taught us all our A, B, C's 

 in the science years ago. The rest are to 

 measured solely by the crops of honey they 

 have produced, for we measure an Apiarist en- 

 tirely by the numl)er of colonies he can keep 

 and l)y the number of tons of honey he sells 

 annually.
