Honey reports continued from page 2. 



Schenectady. — The white comb honey received 

 up to this time has come from local producers, and 

 is of inferior quality, combs being more or less dis- 

 colored, and not well filled. Buckwheat grades are 

 better, but no great amount is ready for market. We 

 think fancy white clover will bring 16 to 18; other 

 grades, 13 to 14, according to quality ; buckwheat, 

 12 to 13. We have made no sales of extracted in 

 quantities yet, and are not in position to quote actu- 

 al prices from sales. 



Schenectady, Sept. 4. Chas. MacCulloch, 



New York. — Receipts of the new crop of comb 

 honey are rather light as yet ; demand is good, and 

 we quote as follows: No. 1 and fancy white 15 to 

 16; some strictly choice quality will sell as high as 

 17 ; off grades, iS to 14. There are no prices estab- 

 lished as yet on buckwheat comb honey, as none has 

 arrived. We think, however, that it will find ready 

 sale at about 12 cts. per lb. Extracted remains about 

 the same; prices unchanged, with sufficient supply 

 to meet all demands with the exception of California 

 sage. Beeswax is steady at 31 to 32. 



New York, Sept. 5. Hildreth & Seqelken. 



St. Louis. — The arrivals of honey here to date 

 have exceeded those of ordinary seasons, and the 

 present market is not very active. Southern honey 

 in barrels and cans has been coming in this market 

 quite freely within the last two weeks. Extracted 

 honey is selling slowly, and we quote it in barrels at 

 6 to 6% cents, and in five-gallon cans at G'^ to 6% 

 cents. Fancy comb honey is nearly nominal, and not 

 moving at all here at present, owing to the warm 

 weather. However, w quote No. 1 fancy white at 

 15 to 16; No. 2, 14 to 15; light amber, 12 to 14. 

 Bv the case, fancy white comb honey will bring from 

 $3.00 to $3.50 per case; No. 2, $2.50 to $3.00, 

 according to quality. Dark and broken honey is al- 

 most unsalable. Beeswax is in good demand, but is 

 lower, and is now selling at 30 cents for prime. 

 Inferior and impure sells for less.

Kind Words from our Customers 



" peace ox earth, good will to men." 

 In renewing my subscription to Gleanings, please 

 XJermit me to say the help I have received from a 

 single copy in handling bees has been worth more 

 than I have paid for a whole year's subscription. 

 And those blessed Home talks! Eternity alone will 

 reveal the good they have done. Many years ago, 

 because of the great uplift these talks had given 

 him, my attention was first called to Gleanings by 

 one Fayette Lewis, of Shenandoah, Va. Living with 

 this journal in my home for these years, I am now 

 glad to be able to say of it, as was said of the Mas- 

 ter, it goes " about doing good." 



Purcellville, Va., July 30. J. T. Grubb. 



KIND word from a new subscriber. 



I have recently subscribed for Gleanings, and 

 to say I am well pleased with it would be a mild 

 way of expressing myself. I wish to congratulate 

 you on being editor of such a nice little semi-monthly 

 magazine, and it seems to me as if no true lover of 

 bees could help appreciating the many helps that are 

 to be had in tlie short sketches printed therein. I 

 have observed in the few numbers I have received 

 that all articles published are good clean reading — 

 a fact that can not be said of a large part of the 

 literature published throughout the land to-day. In 

 your August 1st number the temperance articles 

 should sink deeply into the minds of all; and there 

 are a great many people in this country of ours who 

 would he greatly benefited if they would read care- 

 fully this short but helpful sketch. I address yon 

 as I would address a commander of the army, real- 

 izing that back of you there are many who are hard 

 at work gathering for the good of mankind articles 

 which are profitable and instructive.

THE " CABIN IN THE WOODS," ETC. 



The old " cabin in the woods " made me homesick, 

 for I am well acquainted with the country around 

 there, and I know almost everybody you mentioned. 

 You seemed to tell me just what I wanted to know. 

 My father lived up there when I was a boy, but it 

 has been 16 or 18 years since we came back to In- 

 diana. We lived just a little way south of the Bing- 

 ham church. I am 32 years old now, and have a 

 wife and two little girls. I farm for a living, Ibut 

 I have a few bees. I had four colonies in the spring, 

 have increased to ten, and have taken about 400 lbs. 

 of comb honey. I hope you may live long and con- 

 tinue to " do good." 



Crete, Ind., Aug. 20. Murlie Brown. 



[My good friend, I too often feel homesick when 

 I even think of the old cabin in the woods and the 

 happy hours I spent there. Were it not for the terri- 

 ble winters, and oftentimes deep snows, I honestly 

 believe I would rather live in the region of the 

 Grand Traverse Bay than anywhere else in the 

 world. If you can keep on increasing four colonies 

 to ten with 400 lbs. of comb honey, you should be 

 satisfied to stay where you are. Give our regards to 

 the little girls, and, for that matter, I should like to 

 send my regards to all the rest of the little girls in 

 the whole wide world. — ^A. I. R.]
