We have about two tons of choice Michigan and 

 New York State amber extracted honey in five-gal- 

 lon cans. The largest part of the honey was gath- 

 ered from clover, but we presume many of the pro- 

 ducers were busy with other work so did not get it 

 extracted until after the fall flows came on, so there 

 is enough dark hoiiey mixed with this to grade it 

 amber. AVe offer it put up in the original packages 

 of two live-gallon cans to the case, at 83^ cents per 

 lb., delivered in good condition on board the cars 

 at Medina. We seldom have a lot of honey as good 

 as the above at such a low price. In ordering men- 

 tion lot No. 107. 



MAPLE SUGAR AND SYRUP. 



Owing to the heavy demand last year for our Ohio 

 rock-maple syrup and sugar we have decided to 

 book orders in advance of the crop at the following 

 prices: 



Single one-gallon can or one case of si? one-gal- 

 lon cans, at $1.25 per gallon. 



Two to ten cases of six one-gallon cans to case, at 

 $1.15 per gallon. 



Larger quantities, 75 to 100 gallons, at fl.lO per 

 gallon. 



For a number of years we have not been able to 

 get sufficient quantities of maple sugar to meet the 

 demand. We hope this year to obtain a larger sup- 

 ply. We quote as follows: 



1 to 25 lbs. best rock-maple sugar at 15 cts. per lb. 



26 to 50 lbs. ditto at 14 cts. 



50 to 250 lbs. ditto at 1:3 cts. 



250 to 1000 lbs. ditto at 12 cts. 



Our inspection of sugar and syrup as they come 

 in from the producers will be more rigid than ever, 

 as our requirements are based upon U. S. standard 

 regarding the color, flavor, and purity of both su- 

 gar and syrup. Let us book your order now, as the 

 first run is considered by all to be the best.

EXPOSING FRAUDS, HUMBUGS, SWINDLES, INJUS- 

 TICE, AND EXTORTION. 



So far as I can discover, no other periodical has 

 ever done so much to protect the innocent hard- 

 working people from the designs of rascals as has 

 the old and well-known Jiiiral New-Yorker, and 

 this year to every subscriber the.v send a most val- 

 uable little book giving a history of the fakes that 

 have been more or less successfully worked during 

 years past. Our readers are well aware that Glean- 

 ings has done something in this line, and it has 

 many times gladdened my heart to have the Rural 

 back us up and follow upon the trail we have start- 

 ed. Not only this, but the Rural, by threats of ex- 

 posure, has, hundreds of times, succeeded in mak- 

 ing not only individuals but even railroad and ex- 

 press companies hunt up the goods or pay for them 

 where the eflorts of the sufferer standing alone by 

 himself would amount to nothing. Send a dollar 

 for the Rural a year, and get posted In regard to 

 the tricks that have been worked, and It may save 

 you not only ten dollars but possibly a hundred in 

 years to come. Not only that, you will be backing 

 up truth, honesty, and justice, and encouraging 

 those who, I fear, have not had the endorsement 

 they deserve.

BEES AND SPRAY 



Do not forget that the honey-bees are the fruit- 

 grower's friends. The bees are ever busy fertil- 

 izing the blossoms of your fruit, plants, vines, 

 and trees. If you spray your trees when they 

 are in blossom you will destroy many of these 

 friendly bees. Orchards should not be sprayed 

 when in full blossom for other reasons. Wait 

 until the blossom falls, but spray immediately 

 after the blossom fades and falls. Then the fruit 

 points upward with the calix end uppermost, 

 so that the poisonous spray gets in the calyx. 

 Later the young fruit bends over so that the 

 poison can not get into the calyx so easily. 

 There is the right time to spray, and there Is 

 the right time to do almost anything.
