NEW YORK HONEY-BUYERS. 



We wish to speak a word in season in behalf of an old reli- 

 able honey-buying firm which we have known for a good many 

 years, but which our more recent readers may not be acquaint- 

 ed with. We refer to the house of Hildreth & Segelken, 82 to 

 86 Murray St., New York, who have been buying and selling 

 honey for a generation. They make a specialty of table hon- 

 ey for bottling, and sell large amounts of clover, tupelo, Cali- 

 fornia sage, and other nice honeys, to the grocery trade. Be- 

 ing situated right in the largest honey-buying center in the 

 world they are able to dispose of large quantities. New 

 York is accessible to honey-shippers in all parts of the country 

 and to the West Indies, Mexico, and South America. 



spending ntoney and little desire to educate themselves. For 

 the farmer's boy it is ideal. 



WHERE SHALL WE SELL HONEY.' 



Many of our readers are nonplused when they attempt to sell 

 their honey if it happens to be a little oflf-grade or of a kind 

 that is not much esteemed in the local market. It is, there- 

 lore, a pleasure for us to say we have had advertising with us 

 the National Biscuit Co., of Chicago, for some time, which is 

 always ready to purchase just such honey at market prices. 

 Many of our Southern friends who live far from the large 

 manufacturing cities would find Chicago a more reliable and a 

 more prompt market than one much nearer, but a slow buyer at 

 low prices. We therefore cordially advise those of our read- 

 ers who have any difficulty in disposing of their honey to corre- 

 spond with the National Biscuit Co. You will find th; com- 

 plete address in their advertisement on page 673 of this issue. 

 It is almost unnecessary to say that, financially, they ate all

THE BEST LIGHT. 



We do not know of any thing that adds more to the attract- 

 iveness of a modern home than a first-class light in every 

 room. It makes day out of night, and adds very materially to 

 the comfort of the inmates by allowing them to use the eve- 

 ning hours for work, reading, and recreation. Many imagine 

 it is only the city folks who can enjoy such advantages; but as 

 a matter of fact the lural dweller can enjoy them equally w«ll 

 as the citizen. Many do. The Best Light Co., of Canton, 

 O., has solved the problem by their great lamps advertised in 

 another column in this issue. One of these in any ordinary 

 room will fill it with an efTulgence that is elevating and cheer- 

 ful. It should not be forgotten that they are not expensive, 

 either to buy or to operate. They do not cost any more than 

 an ordinary lamp, and are actually cheaper to maintain than 

 kerosene lights. Write and see. 



NOTICE TO QUEEN-BUYERS. 



Several queen-breeders have written to say they are having 

 trouble with some of their customers who seem to be in doubt 

 as to what constitutes an untested queen. They somehow or 

 other have obtained the idea that an untested queen is a vir- 

 gin. This is not the case. An untested is a laying queen 

 whose progeny have not been observed to see if they are pure- 

 bred. Generally they are purely mated, but sometimes not, 

 in which case the workers will be hybrids. A tested queen is 

 one whose progeny are pure-bred, both worker and drone. An 

 untested queen may have pure drones, and yet the workers 

 from her are mixed. Unmated queens are seldom sent out. 



THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. 



Any young man or woman who contemplates a professional 

 career may be interested in the advertisement of the medical 

 department of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. It 

 will be found on page 712 of this issue. Some of our readers 

 may not know that this university has enrolled in all its de- 

 partments nearly 6000 students. The course of instruction is 

 of the best, and its graduates occupy high positions all over this 

 country. The medical school is presided over by Professor W. 

 B. Hinsdale, M. D., a medical man of national reputation. 

 The University of Michigan is famous for its kindly treatment 

 of poor students making their way against odds, and, as a mat- 

 ter of fact, it is not a place for rich men's sons with plenty of 



BANKING MONEY BY MAIL. 



Perhaps some of our readers may not be aware of the fact 

 that the Savings Deposit Bank Company, which is one of our 

 steady advertisers, does a business which extends from the At- 

 lantic to the Pacific. It does not do a vast business like a 

 city bank, but many prefer it because it is more secure. 

 Country banks are safer because their investments are more re- 

 liable and solid; whereas stocks and bonds fluctuate very 

 much in value. If your local bank is not very secure, or does 

 not pay a fair interest on deposits, we think you can not do 

 better than to correspond with the officers of the Savings De- 

 posit Bank Company. They pay a very liberal rate on all 

 deposits.
