Handy Low-Down Wagons. — This is the sea- 

 son of the year, in the corn growing sections, 

 when the man with the low wagon has the ad- 

 vantage of his neighbor who uses the high 

 wheel. <toe has only to drive through the 

 country and witness the loading of fodder to be 

 forcibly impressed with the labor that's saved 

 in one field, and the energy that's needlessly 

 wasted in the next. Another fact is equally 

 patent, and that is, that there has been a re- 

 markable increase in the number of the low- 

 wheeled wagons in recent vears. The low 

 wheel has the better of the argument for all 

 farm work. This has been proclaimed time 

 and again as the result of competitive draft- 

 tests, and is abundantly proven from the stand- 

 point of convenience every day by the great 

 army of users. 



The Electric Wheel Company, of Quincy, 111., 

 has perhaps done more than any other institu- 

 tion to popularize the low-wheel and Handy 

 Wagon. Their '-Electric" Steel Wheel is the 

 kind that is made to last. An item that has 

 multiplied the number they are constantly 



sending out, is that I hey are made to fit the 

 skein of any make of wagon. The wheels be- 

 ing the first to give away in the wooden-felloe 

 high-wheel style of wagon, a great many farm- 

 er^ take advantage of this fact, and procuring 

 the *' Electric '■ wheels, convert their old wag- 

 ons into Haudy Wagons. In most cases the 

 running-gears are good, and with little expense 

 Ihey secure a wagon as good as new, with all 

 the convenienccTi which the use of the low-down 

 Handy Wagon carries with it. If any reader 

 of this find his old high wheels giving away, 

 he will do well to send to the above Company 

 for their catalog, and learn what their low steel 

 wheel will do in the way of giving him practi- 

 cally a new wagon at but very slight cost. It 

 must not be forgotten that the Company makes 

 the Handy Wagon complete where parties de-

HATCHINQ THE EARLY BIRD. 



It is coming to be more the case with each 

 succeeding year, that the cream of poultry pro- 

 iit is obtained by hatching, raising and sending 

 to market the chickens that have come to be 

 comercially known as " broilers." This term 

 includes, in a general way, birds that weigh 

 from 1 to 2\i pounds at an age of from two to 

 lour months. Of course, the highest prices 

 are obtained during the early part of the season, 

 say from March to May. For this reason fully 

 '>0 percent of poultrymen use the incuuator ex- 

 clusively, as it eaables them to regulate the 

 season and number of the hatch with entire in- 

 dependence of the hen, which need only furnish 

 the eggs. 



In the matter of incubators, they have been 

 brought to a point where they actually beat the 

 hen at her old game. Manufacturers have 

 closely studied the natural laws of incubation, 

 ana followed them minutely. In the machines 

 made by George H. Stahl, of Quincv, 111., 

 known as the Excelsior and the "Wooden 

 Hen," every problem of heat, moisture and 

 ventilation has been solved, and it is said thev 

 will hatch a greater percentage of hatchabie 

 eggs than the mother hen herself under ordi- 

 nary conditions. Five minutes' daily attention 

 when in opermion is all they require. Everv 

 one interested in poultry should write George 

 H. Stahl, Quincy, 111., for his free catalog of 

 Incubators and Poultry Appliances. It is worth 

 having.

HONEY AND BEESWAX 



.M A K K KT (>I 1 IT ATIONS 





Chicago, Nov. 7.— The supply of comb honey 

 is large, and sales are being forced, so that it is 

 a little difficult to give accurate figures. Sales 

 are not easily made of fancy at anything over 

 13c per pound, with less desirable grades selling 

 lower. Extracted, white, brings ti<S>'iic, ac- 

 cording to kind, flavor and package; amber, 

 S^@(iHc. Beeswax, 28@30c. 



R. A. Burnett & Co.

 price keeps up remarkably well yet. Fancy

 mixed, 13i./".14c; buckwheat, i3'4(ail4c. Ex- 

 tracted, dark, 6>ic; mixed, 6«@7c; white, 

 7®7}<c; but not as active as comb. Beeswax, 

 30c. H.R.Wright. 



Cincinnati, Nov. 7— The demand for honey is 

 a little better. The prices rule about the same.

 rels, from ?%(^^5^c; in cans about J4 cent more; 

 water-white alfalfa, 6@61« cents; white clover, 

 6^i@7^c. The comb honey market is quite 

 lively, and it sells as follows: Fancy water- 

 white, 14M15C .Beeswax in goo3 demand, at 30c 

 delivered here. c. H. W. Weber. 



Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 11.— The demand'for 

 white comb honey is better than it was. The 

 trade is particular and wants only very white, 

 clean stock. If the wax is yellow from travel- 

 stain it does not sell well, and price has to be 

 cut. Fancy whi e comb, 14,'aiS;: A No. 1. 13S< 

 @14c; No. 1, I3@13!.^c; No. 2, 12®12Hc; No. 3,

 in good demand. Fancy white honey in cartons 

 we quote at 18c; No. 1, at 16c; glass-front rases

C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Cincinnati, Oct. 1.— Comb and extracted

 good with steady prices. We are making sales 

 at the following prices: Amber extracted at 

 5K@6!^c: white clover, 6H@7Mc. Fancy comb 

 honey, 15c. Beeswax, 30c. 



The Fred W. Muth Co.

 quite freely now. and is finding ready sale at IS 

 cents per pound for fancy white, 13@l4c for No. 

 1 white, and 12c for No. 2 white and amber. 

 Very little buckwheat on the market as yet 

 and prices are hardly established. ' 



Extracted honey is ruling about the same as 

 last with plenty of offerings of all grades. 



Beeswax is somewhat declining and selling 

 at present at from 28(a;2''c per pound.

Market is more quiet than for several weeks 

 preceding, but is fairly steady as to value. 

 Spot stocks and offerings of both comb and ex- 

 tracted are mainly of amber grades, while most 

 urgent inquiry is principally for water-white, 

 the latter being the only kind meeting with 

 much competitive bidding from buyerf. Re. 

 cent arrivals of honey included a lot of 121 

 cases from the Hawaiian Islands. The bees of 

 the Islands feed mainly on sugar.
