l-lb Keystone 



...Uooey-Jars 



These are clear flint g^lass jars hold- 

 ing just one potind, and the shape of 

 a keystone. They are 7;s inches high, 

 and very pretty when filled with honey. 

 The corks can be sunk a trifle below 

 the top, and then fill in with beeswax, 

 sealingwax or paraffin. We can fur- 

 nish them in single gross lots, with 

 corks, f.o.b. Chicago, at $3.50 ; two 

 gross, $3.25 per gross ; or five or more 

 gross,, at $3.00 a gross. These are the 

 cheapest glass one-pound jars we know 

 anything about. We have only a few 

 gross of them left. So speak quick 

 if you want them. Address,

The Iowa Round Incubator.— When 



the Iowa Round Incubator was first intro- 

 duced there was considerable discussion con- 

 cerning the radical departure it made in incu- 

 bator construction. Incubators had been 

 made square so long that people were in- 

 clined to think that was the proper way to 

 build them. Then the proprietors invented 

 the catch-line, "No cold corners," and at 

 once thinking people began to understand the 

 advantage of an incubator in which the tem- 

 perature could be kept exactly at the same 

 degree in all parts of the egg-chamber. 



While the principle was always right, and 

 the Iowa has been a success from the very 

 tirst, a constant elTort has been made to im- 

 prove the construction of them. The heating 

 apparatus, the regulator, the ventilation were 

 all perfected, but it was felt that the liability 

 of wood to shrink, swell, warp, crack and 

 split left something to be desired in the way 

 of material from which to construct the case 



Wood bijlits Kasily 

 or body of the machine. Metal would not do, 

 for it expands and contracts under varying 

 temperatures, and corrodes under all circum- 

 stances. Finally ■■ trunk board," a fiber board 

 used for making trunks that cannot be 

 smashed, was hit upon. This trunk board is 

 capable of being bent so as to make 'the case 

 of the Iowa Round Incubator one solid piece 

 except where the ends are joined together. 

 Trunk board does not shrink, swell, warp or 

 crack, and it cannot be split even with an ax. 

 It is water and air proof and yet light and 

 strong. No material ever invented is so, per- 

 fectly adapted to the use to which it is put as 

 is trunk board for the Iowa Round Incubator. 

 They have just published a little book tell- 

 ing all about their incubators and brooders, 

 which contains mtich valuable and interest- 

 ing information. This book together with 

 other printed matter, will be gladly sent to 

 any of our readers who will ask them for it 

 and mention this paper. All requests should 

 be addressed to Iowa Incubator Co., Box 19^,

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Jl«i«l«l«i*i»i« 



iViQQQSSSQQSQS 



Chicago, Jan 9.— The demand is not more 

 than usual; hence sloclcs are sunicient, espe- 

 cially as Cuba has now comb honey on this 

 market. This is a new source of supply, and is 

 a factor that must be reckoned with, as it obvi- 

 ates the necessity of laying- in a stock during 

 the summer and autumn to draw from in the 

 winter and spring months. The best grades of 

 white conil) sell at 15(W16c per pound, with 

 travel stained and light amber. I.ifail4c: darker 

 grades, luwi.; Extracted, 7(asc for white, and 

 ii^Tc tor ambers. Beeswa.'c steady at.30c. 



R. A. Burnett <& Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Jan. ".—Honey demand and 

 receipts light. We quote white comb. IS cents; 

 mi.xed, 14c; buckwheat, 13(9il4c. E.xtracted, 

 white, ~fj''Ac; dark and buckwheat, 7w7Hc. 

 More demand for buckwheat than any other 

 here. H. R. Wright. 



Boston, Oct. 20.— Our honey market remains 

 firm, with good demand and fair stocks on 

 hand. Honey is not coming forward as fast as 

 usual, and the tendency of prices is steady. We 

 qucte our market as follows: Fancy white 1- 

 pound sections in cartons, Ifjc; No. 1, 15c; No. 

 2, very light supply, 14c; glass-front sections 

 generally one cent less than this. E.xtracted, 

 light amber, 8c; amber, 7Mc. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, Dec. 20.— Market steady at quo- 

 tations. We quote fancy white comb, per case, 

 24 sections, $i 50; No. 1 at $3.40; No. 2 white 

 and amber, $3 25. Extracted, white, per pound, 

 7@7Mc; amber, 6@6Kc. Beeswax, 27(Si30c. 



C. C. Clemons &. Co. 



Cincinnati, Jan. 7-The demand for all kinds 

 of honey has fallen off considerably in the last 

 few weeks, owing to the many other sweets of- 

 fered at this season of the year. Lower prices 

 are no inducement to increase the consumption, 

 as the demand is not there, and will not be un- 

 til about the end of the month; consequently it 

 is folly to offer at lower prices. We quote am- 

 ber extracted in barrels at S}i(i'lj\^c; white clo- 

 ver and basswood, 8(g.9Hc. Fancy white comb 

 honey, 16fa>17c; lower grades hard to sell at any 

 price. Beeswax firm at 29(ffi30c. 



The Fred W. Mhth Co. 



New York, Dec. 23.— The market on comb 

 honey is dull and inactive. While the supply 

 is not large the demand has fallen off to a large 

 extent and prices show a weakening tendency. 

 We quote fancy white at ISc; No. 1, 14c; No. 2, 

 13c; and buckwheat at from 10tol2c. Extracted 

 is in fairly good demand; white. "Mc; light am- 

 ber, 654@7c; dark, 5!-^(a'6c. Keeswax firm at 

 from 28@29c. Hildreth & Seqblkew. 



Cincinnati, Jan. 3.— The comb honey mar- 

 ket is a little quiet, almost everybody being 

 filled up. As there is hardly any new supply 

 in, there is no change in prices, viz.: Fancy 

 water-while, 16c; off grades less. The market 

 for extracted white clover shows a slight ad- 

 vance. Fancy water-white brings S%Cq,'^c: al- 

 falfa water-white, b%<S,T)ic; amber, in barrels, 

 S]i@5Hc. Beeswax, 27(a»28c. 



C. H. W. Weber. 



San Francisco, Dec. 17.— White comb honey, 

 llK@12i^c; light amber, 10@llc; dark, Siabi^c. 

 Extracted, white, 6gi6J^c; light amber, tasiic; 

 amber, M^^lic. Beeswax, good to choice, light, 

 26®275^c; strictly fancy I'ght, 29@30c. 



The bulk of California produced honey is sold 

 for Eastern shipment in carload lots from pro- 

 ducing points at bottom price. Small lots of 

 choice honey that can be used in local trade 

 bring more. Quotations here given are current 

 prices to producer, f.o.b. shipping point, on 

 Eastern basis for extracted and California basis 

 delivery point subject to agreement for comb.
