Obituary. 



\Vk arc pained to beolilijred to elironiclc tlie death 

 ot our old friend \V. \V. Cary. He was for year^ an 

 intimate friend of L. L. Langstrotli, and during- 

 Mr. L.'s visit to us. he had a good deal to say of his 

 most hlg-hly esteemed friend Mr. Cary. Me learn 

 by the Dec-Keeperx' Ma(iaziiic of Jan. 1 that ho has 

 been a bee-keeper for .5:i years. He made; the ac- 

 quaintance of Mr. Langstroth in l^'O; and when the 

 Italian bee first made its advent to our shores, .Mr. 

 Tary was one of the most active in giving it a 

 chance, and he has furnished nice Italian <|ueens 

 for perhaps as long a time as any American bee- 

 keeper. The magazine above mentioned contains 

 an excellent portrait of our friend ("aiy, tog<'ther 

 with a biographical sketch of his life. Although 

 many may not know it, our bee-keepers' medley 

 i'ontains an engraving of fritMii] Cary. While get- 

 ting it up, Mr. Langstroth remarked to me that 

 many for years have noted the resemblance be- 

 tween .Samuel Wagner and W. W. Cary, and that a 

 photograph of one would answer for the other. Ac- 

 cordingly friend Cary's iihotograph was given, 

 with the above explanation, as no photograph was 

 ever taken of Samuel Wagner. Mr. Cary's t)usi- 

 ness will be carried on, and, in fact, has been for 

 some time carried on, by his son. W. W. Cary, .Ir. 



DIED— In Haltimore, Md., .Ian. '-S, IS.-i.j, Elenora, 

 only and beloved daughter of C. H. and Susan H. 

 Lake, aged 12 years, 2 months, 6 days. 



KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



Thanks Cur \(iui- kiiwliic-.< jn \v :iii in-- so i>atiently 

 on me. The iiiHuis I oi-ili red a I ilill iTint times were 

 all received With the brst ol sat isl act ion, especially 

 the bee-keeper's wheelbarrow, which has bei-n faith- 

 fully used by myself, wife, and chiUlren.

Please find #;2.(i0, for which send me the latest 

 edition of the A H C tiook, and Ulkanings for !»»."). 

 1 can't think of doing without them, and keep bees 

 and make a success of it, for I think one may lose 

 ten times the cost of both, in trying to do without. 

 (iLEANiNfis is alwavs welcome in our home.

SOME KIND WOItDS, AND NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT. 



The goods came all O. K. Many thanks. The 

 carpet-sweeper, my wife thinks, is the nicest thing 

 out, and 1 think "How the Farm Pays "is some- 

 thing that every farmer ought to have, and every 

 young man who intends to be a farmer, or even if 

 he doesn't ever intend to be one. He may become 

 the owner of a farm, and with what information he 

 would get out i/f that he would know at a glance 

 what kiiid of seed to sow to be the most prohtable, 

 and he also may know whether his tenant is compe- 

 tent to conduct a farm or not, and every thing per- 

 taining to a farm, farm implements, etc. The book 

 has paid me already in one article on grape cul- 

 ture. If I am a blacksmith and a bee-keeper also, 

 the A U C book has paid me double and tenfold for 

 itself, just in one point of dressing saws. Some- 

 times 1 could dress a saw, and it would saw well, 

 and the next time it would hardly saw at all, and 

 my neighbor was about to get all of my custom. 

 But a glance at the article in the A li C turned the 

 scale, so 1 dress from 8 to .5 saws every week, where, 

 before I got the A R C, may be I would dress one a 

 month. Somebody else would dress it the next time. 

 Hut that is not the case now. 



.MV UEPOHT ON BEKS. 



This season was almost too dry; spring count, 11: 

 sold six. and increased to 22, all alive at date. Hon- 

 ey \ery dark, and strong to taste— very bitter. 

 Honi-v-d«'w was the cause. 



l-:ve'rv liouscliold or family ought to take Glean- 

 ings, for the one heading. Our Homes, Myself and 

 my Neighbors, and, in fact, every heading in it is 

 worth tenfold tlie j)rice of Gleanings for one year. 



Waynesburg, Pa., Jan. I.'j, 1883. T. A. Inohram.D 



[Why, my good frieml L. it seems to me you must 

 be unusually easy to get along with, or you -would 

 not be pleased at otir hiiniblc ctforts in every direc- 

 tion, as you seem to be in the above letter. I con- 

 fess I am very glad indeed to tlnd that our publica- 

 tions, and the goods we furnish, have been the 

 means of df)ing you so much good in your home.] 



SOMETHING NEW. 



As I have greatly increased my facilities for man- 

 ufacturing 



It will be to your advantage to send for price list 

 before purchasing elsewhere. Cash paid for bees- 

 wax. A. B. HOWE,

SECOND-HAND FOUNDATION MILLS, 



We ha\ (• at iiresent four mills, which we have tak- 

 en toward new ones. The tlrst one is a.')', -inch 

 Washburn mill; price, when new, §20 or $:W— can't 

 iust remeniber now; Imt our i)re8ent price for a tf- 

 inch mill is >tI-,M. Wc will sell the mill for SlO.OO. 

 The second one is a 9-inch mill, such as we used to 

 make for the L. frame. We will sell this for ?17.00. 

 The third one is a 10-mill, our own make. The pres- 

 ent list price is .*'.'.'>.Oii. We will sell it for *18.()0. The 

 last one is a 12-inch mill, our own make. Present 

 price of a new 12-inch mill, ?40.(A). We will sell this 

 for $'25.0n. All the above mills have been worked 

 over so as to make the new style of cell. Samples 

 of the work will be sent on application. We will al- 

 low r> per cent off from i)rices mentioned above, for 

 cash with order. A. I. EOOT, UEIINA, OHIO. 



We subscribed for Gleanings last year, and like 

 it much; but haviufr been iinlortunate with our 

 bees, we lost our enthusiasin aii<l did not resub- 

 scribe. Had I the time 1 could say much of my ad- 

 miration of your way of conducting business. 1 

 wllMust take time to say, it reminds me ot a thrifty 

 bee-hive. To a bee-man, that expresses much of 

 order, industry, happiness, and profit.
