CARLOAD SHIPMENTS. 



Up to the same date last year we had shipped 2-1 less 

 carloads than we have this year up to August first. 

 •Orders are 'holding out much longer this year than 

 last ; and. judging from reports, the prospects are 

 good for next j-ear. 



S^VEET-CLOVER SEED WAXTED. 



AVe should like to hear from any one having sweet- 

 clover seed for sale, with sample of the seed you have 

 to offer, and the amount and price per pound. If you 

 have no seed from last year, the time is at hand for 

 gathering new seed, and man\- might gather it if they 

 could find an outlet. We are also in the market for 

 catnip .seed. Send sample, with price and quantity 

 vou have to offer. 



ADVANCED PRICES ON BEE-KEEPERS' SUPPLIES. 



We are preparing new prices on hives, frames, sec- 

 tions, fences, section-holders, separators, shipping- 

 cases, etc. These we hope to have ready to publi.sh in 

 our next issue, or at least by ,Sept 1. Both lumber 

 and labor have advanced to such an extent that we 

 can not continue selling supplies at the old price ex- 

 cept at a loss. Old prices are, therefore, withdrawn : 

 and while we may not change the prices on current 

 orders till the new prices are published, we reserve 

 the right to do so. We are making still further ad- 

 vances in hive construction. All hives as now made 

 have the edges jointed smooth. Half the bodies and 

 supers are nailed ready for the in.side fixtures when 

 you receive them With our new nailing machine we 

 are able to do this at slight expense and in the best 

 manner possible.
