The Ormas Incubator.— Probably no reasona- 

 ble priced incubator has a larg-er sale or a 

 g-realer number of friends than the Ormas, ad- 

 vertised in this number. This machine is made 

 of the best material, but biing: made in a small 

 town where the cost of construction is reduced 

 to the lowest point, it can be sold at a low price 

 and yet be made of good material. 



The sales double up every year, and now the 

 known all over the country as a 



strictly first-class low-priced raachiae. It may 

 truly be said of this machine that it is cheap in 

 nothing but the price. 



Mr. Banta has made a study of incubation 

 and ucderstands what is needed in building 

 such a machine for the average operator. 

 It is simple in construction, easy of operat-^on, 

 and sold on a guarantee as strong as such a 

 document can be made. The catalog is a really 

 interesting little book, and poultiymen should 

 have it for reference. Send for it. Address

Cincinnati, Feb 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 follj to offer at lower prices. We quote am- 

 ber extracted in barrels at S^^iwhl^c; white clo- 

 ver and basswood, 8@0i^c. Fancy white comb 

 honey, 16tol7c; lower grades hard to sell at any 

 price. Beeswax: firm at 30c. 



The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Nkw York, March 5.— There is a fair demand 

 for white comb at 15c per pound for fancy, 13@ 

 14c for No. 1, and 12c for amber, with sufficient 

 supply to meet the demand. Dark honey will 

 be cleaned up with very little left; it is selling 

 at about lie per pound. Extracted rather weak 

 and in quantity lots, prices generally shaded. 

 We quote: White, 7@7)^ cents; amber, 6K@7c; 

 dark, 6c. Beeswax scarce at 30@31c fdr good 

 average. Hildrbth & Sboblkkm. 



Cincinnati, Mar. 7.— The comb honey market 

 has weakened a little more; is freely offered at 

 following prices: Fancy white, 14(al5c; node- 

 maud for ambers whatever. The market for 

 extracted has not been changed and prices are 

 as follows: Amber in barrels, SU(a.5 -^c; in cans 

 (.(«6>^c; white clover, 8@,8!^c. Beeswax, 28@30c.
