Honey reports continued from page 2. 



Denver. — We quote comb honey in a jobbing way 

 at the following figures: No. 1, $3.05; choice, !b3.90; 

 No. 2, $2.70. Extracted honey, white, 9; light am- 

 ber, 8; strained, 6% to 7. We pay 26 in cash and 

 28 in trade for clean yellow beeswax delivered here.

Denver, March 10. Frank Rauchfuss, Mgr. 



Albany. — The honey market is very quiet here, 

 there being no comb honey on the market. The crop 

 was very small, and quality poor; principal com- 

 plaint is candied honey, which is becoming a serious 

 proposition. Extracted sells better than the dark and 

 buckwheat grade, at l'V2 to 8. 



Albany, March 5. H. R. WriGiit. 



Zanesville. — There is not much change in the 

 honey situation since last report. Market is very 

 quiet, but prices are about stationary. Best grades 

 of white comb are quoted at 18 to 19 in one or two 

 case lots; larger quantities at correspondingly lower 

 prices. Best white extracted, 10 to 11. Producers 

 receive for beeswax 28 cts. cash, 30 in trade. Whole 

 sale market, 38 to 45, according to quantity and 

 quality.

Kind Words from Our Customers. 



The hives ordered from your firm came all right. 

 Every thing came in good shape, just as ordered. 

 Carolina, R. I., Feb. 20. Cyrus E. Kenyon. 



Please insert my advertisement again for six times. 

 The former one brought me a good number of in- 

 quiries. I am running my advertisement in five 

 poultry journals, but have not had any inquiries 

 from any of them. Gleanings has them all beat. 



Berlin, Mich., Feb. 26. Walter M. Adema. 



I have been taking Gleanings, but have not had 

 it since November. I am behind in my subscription, 

 but I do not know how much. Please let me know 

 how much it is, and I will remit, for I can not do 

 without it. I am very much interested in bees. I 

 have 87 hives at present, all in good condition. I 

 did better last year than I ever did before. I got 

 194 lbs. from one hive. I averaged 133 lbs. per 

 hive. I did not have 87 to start with. I have 

 bought several since the season closed. I want 200 

 to start with this year. 



I have read Gleanings with much interest. I 

 enjoy reading Our Homes. We have no bee disease 

 here in Tennessee.

BE thou faithful unto death, and I WILL give 



THEE A CROWN OF LIFE. 



Mr. A. I. Root: — Often I have been moved to 

 write a letter of encouragement and appreciation of 

 your writings in Gleanings. Our Homes and tem- 

 perance talks are read first. We find much good in 

 them, as they seem so practicable and uplifting. 

 When a small boy I remember when father would 

 read to us at home out of religious papers, and how 

 eager we were to listen when A. I. Root's writings 

 were read. 



Although now a little past the twenties, and in a 

 home of our own, just launching out in life, as it 

 were, we find Our Homes more helpful than ever. 

 In my trade as electrician it helps me to be honest, 

 trust in God, and gives me zeal and courage to stand 

 for the right. We often get our meals at hotels in 

 small towns, and there we see some of the evils of 

 intemperance. Mr. Root, I believe God has still a 

 task for you to perform; and that is, to unite the 

 different temperance causes under one banner. Can 

 we not, the. Christian people of this land, with one 

 united effort, and the help of God, overthrow and 

 for ever abolish the rum traffic ? 



New Holland, Pa., Dec. 15. S. Z. Musselman. 



A hearty amen, Bro. M., to your suggestion that 

 all good people should unite (forgetting unimpor- 

 tant differences, and fight under one banner.
