Nov 



paper I am reading-, and in the jiroprietors of the 

 medicine as well. Perhaps many of the friends 

 have noticed recently an article recommending- 

 certain mines in Arizona; and when I looked at 

 the title of the paper giving- place to such a com- 

 munication, it gave me a reeling- of pain. But I am 

 pleased just now to notice a communication in the 

 Michigan Faiitwr for Sept. 12, that strikes at the 

 root of the matter. Any editor who " makes mer- 

 chandise," as the Fiirmrr puts it, out of the confi- 

 dence his readers have in his paper, will sooner or 

 later repent it. It is the Uohemian-oais swindle in 

 another g-iiise, over and over again.

PKICE OF T.\l'KS REDUCED. 



Present prices on tacks of all kinds are lower than 

 I ever knew them to be before. We are according-- 

 ly able to offer them at about half the price we have 

 been getting- for them. We now sell 3 oz. of 14-in. 

 tinned tacks lor o cts.; :S oz. of ■„ in. and 4 oz. of '2 

 in., for the same price, instead of 1, \M, and 2 oz., as 

 formerly. Carpet tacks almost as cheap in propoi-- 

 tion. Full table of prices will appear in our .Ian. 1st 

 issue of price list, now being- prepared.

WOODEN SEPARATOIiS FOR CRATES ANDT SUPERS. 



According- to the drift of reports the past season, 

 there seems to be a demand for wooden sejiarators. 

 They are preferred to tin for use in crates and T 

 supers where they are loose, because they are not 

 so cold, and they are stilfer and cheapei-. We made 

 and sold wood separators a few yeatsagro; but as 

 they were principally used on wide Irames they did 

 not give safisfactioii, so we discarded them. For 

 wide frames, and all places where the separator is 

 nailed to something, we still recommend the tin as 

 far superior, and cheaper in the long- run, than any 

 thing: else; b\it for crates and supers where the 

 separators are loose, wood is preferred for the 

 above reasons. To meet this demand for wood 

 separators we have just made a trial lot of 100,000 

 from nice white basswood: and if I do say it. they 

 are the nicest I ever saw. If you don't believe it, 

 send for a sample, mailed free on application. They 

 measure in thickness 20 to the inch. This is as thin 

 as we can make; them without breaking the grain 

 of the wof)d. Although so thin, they are quite stiff. 

 They are out I'roin green I iml>er, piled right upas 

 though they were in a solid bloi'k, weighted, and put 

 in the dry-kiln to season. Hythis process we ex- 

 pect them to dry without curling up. We offer them 

 at the following prices: 100, :iOc; .500, $1.25; KHIO, 

 $2.00; 10,000, $15.t0.
