once for honey, and practically as good as new to use 

 again. We offer these at $o (X) for 10 boxes; 4.^ cts. in 

 25-box lots or more. There are .some not so new, hut 

 which for low grades of honey will answer nicelv. 

 We offer these at f:150 for 10 boxes; '2r> or more at 30 

 cts. a box. We would not expect to furnish any that 

 were badly rusted inside. They are left just as emp- 

 tied, and should be thoroughly cleaned just before 

 filling. 



NEW HONEY-JARS. 



We are adopting a new style ot honey-jar which we 

 expected to present in this issue, but the illustrations 

 have not reached us in time. We hope to give them 

 in our next. They are the same jar that Geo. W. 

 York & Co. use in their Chicago trade, and have 

 offered in the American Bee Journal. They seal by 

 means of a rubber ring with glass top and steel spring 

 over the top. They are very neat, and are quickly 

 and securely sealed. We have two sizes, put up a 

 gross in a crate. 



1 lb. spring-top jar, $.5.00 per gross. 



% " " " $4..50 " 



There are various styles and sizes made with this 

 spring-top fastener, and we shall be pleased to hear 

 from those looking for a good cheap tasty jar for put- 

 ting up honey for the retail trade. 



COMB HONEY WANTED. 



We are having an excellent demand for honej-, both 

 comb and extracted. We have a good supply of very 

 choice extracted honey, but we have not been getting 

 comb honey as fast as we could use it to supply our or- 

 ders and have been obliged to disappoint prospective 

 customers because we have not the honey on hand to 

 furnish promptly. It is the same experience over 

 again that we have had for the past three years Too 

 many bee-keepers put off the work of casing and pre- 

 paring their honey for market too long. For several 

 years we have had a dearth of honey during Septem- 

 ber and early October. By the latter part of October 

 or November and December it comes in much more 

 plentifully, but by that time the best demand for it is 

 past. Why do not more producers learn to get their 

 honey ready and ship it earlier? Perhaps because it 

 is not perishable, and can waH, while some other 

 things, being perishable, can not wait. But it is too 

 bad to lose the advantage of the best market, and I 

 think more could, if they realized the importance of 

 it, get their honey to market earlier. 



We are almost daily receiving offers of extracted 

 honey, showing a plentiful supply in this form; but 

 comb honey is not so abundant or else those who have 

 it are in no hurry to dispose of it. Last year some pro- 

 ducers who did not get their honey to market early 

 lost quite heavily in consequence. I hope they may 

 not make the same mistake this year. 



FRANCIS DANZENBAKER AT THE HOME OF THE 

 HONEY-BEES. 



For several weeks Mr. Danzenbaker has been with 

 us here in Medina, perfecting his already gool hive — 

 a hive that has worked its way inio the fa!vor of manv 

 of the produc rsof gilt-edgtd comb honey. When our 

 friend first came to Medina in 1S8S he introduced the 

 lock corner, vyhich we subsequently adopted for all 

 our hives and that feature is now used in all up-to- 

 <!ate hives sold in America. 



He brought to our attention, on another visit, the 

 Danzenbaker bottom- board and cover. These we also 

 adopted on our regular Dovetailed hives. On this 

 present vi>-it he intro luced some improvements which 

 we regard as decidedly ahead of any thing he has 

 brought out before, and which may possibly work a 

 revolution in some of the minor details of hive-con- 

 struction. 



Abstemious in his habits, using neither tea, coffee, 

 nor tobacco, our friend at 05 has an active mind, and 

 a strong physique. 



For the production of comb honey, if reports are to 

 be believed, the Danzenbaker hive with closed-end 

 frame is one of the best, if not the best, in the market, 

 and seems now to fully justify some of the claims of 

 its inventor. Mr. Danzenbaker expects to go from 

 here to Cuba, via Washington and Florida, there to 

 demonstrate the value of his hive in the production of 

 fancy comb honey. 



Convention Notices. 



Just as we go to press we receive notice from Mr, 

 Udo Toepperwein. announcing that the Texas Bee- 

 keepers' Association will have a meeting in the main 

 building on the fairground, San Antonio. Oct. 23. We 

 learn that every thing has been done to make this- 

 one of the most interesting conventions to bee-keep 

 ers ever held. All the different kinds of nnchinery 

 used in bee-keeping will be exhibited together with 

 2.1 different kinds of honey from Ihe Home of the 

 Honey-bees. Every bee-keeper in the .State is urged 

 to be present. The premiums offered are very liberal. 



Our new clubbing list will be ready Nov. 1 or 1.5. 

 Do not be in a hurry to make up your club of newspa- 

 pers and magazines till you see what we have to offer.
