bees for four years, and like to work with 

 tbem. It seems strange to read of such big 

 yields from the South when if we bee- 

 keepers here get 50 pounds per colony, we 

 think we are doing well. Will Alsike and 

 crimson clover grow successfully as far 

 north as Wood county, Ohio ? Will some 

 one please answer through the Bee Journal?

 Perrysburg, Ohis, Nov, 29, 18i)5. 



[Yes. we believe Alsike clover will grow 

 all right in any place where red clover will 

 prosper. Will someone please reply as to 

 crimson clover ?— Editor.]

Honey & Beeswax Market Qnotations. 



CHICAGO, III , Dec. 10.— White clover and 

 linden, in 1-pound sections, sells at 14@15c., 

 but other kinds of white honey sell at 12@ 

 13c.; dark andambergrades,9@10c, of which 

 there is a very liberal supply. Extracted, 

 white, 5!4@7c.; amber, 4^@5c,; dark, 4@5c„ 

 difference in price of each grade being in ac- 

 cord with its quality, fine flavor always being 

 at a premium. Beeswax, 2S@30c„ and selling 

 upon arrival. R. A. B. & Co. 



CINCINNATI, Ohio. Dec. 20. -Demand for 

 comb and extracted honey is fair only. We 

 quote: Comb honey, 12®14c, for best white, 

 in the jobbing way. Extracted, 4@7c, 



Beeswax is in good demand at 22@27e, for 

 good to choice yellow, C, F, M,&S. 



NEW YORK, N. Y.. Dec, 18 —The market 

 on comb and extracted honey is a little dull 

 at the present time, and we do not expect to 

 have a very great demand until after the holi- 

 days. Then we may look for a little better 

 sale, but the bulk of trade is done for the sea- 

 son. That is for comb honey; extracted we 

 expect quite a sale of after Feb, 1, 1896. We 

 quote: Fancy clover, libs,, 15@16c,; white 

 clover, 13@14c,; fair white, ll@12c,; buck- 

 wheat, 9@9i^c, Extracted clover, 6@6Hc.: 

 basswood,6^@7c. ; buckwheat, 5c, Beeswax 

 firm and in good demand at 29@32c.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa,, Dec, 9,— Honey has 

 steadily advanced in this market. Comb 

 honey sells quickly and pure white clover 

 extracted sells on sight. We quote: Fancy 

 comb, 163,; choice. 14@15c.: dark, 10@llc, 

 Extracted, 5@6c. : Western white clover, 10c, 



Beeswax finds Immediate sale on .-irrival at 

 30c. W, A. S. 



NEW rORK. N. Y„ Dec. 9.— We have a fair- 

 ly good demand for white comb honey at 

 12@15c., according to quality and style of 

 package. While the market is well cleaned 

 up of glassed sections and paste-board car- 

 tons, UDglassed is plentiful, having just re- 

 ceived two more big cars from California. 

 Buckwheat comb is very dull, with a plenti- 

 ful supply. We quote 9@10c„ but to effect 

 sales on quantity lots, we find it necessary" to 

 shade quotations. Considering the limited 

 outlet and large stocks on the market, we 

 would not encourage shipping of buckwheat 

 honey for the near future, as we could not 

 render returns in reasonable time. The mar- 

 ket on extracted is quiet at unchanged prices. 

 No demand for buckwheat as yet. 



Beeswax is scarce and selling at 29@31c., 

 according to quality, H, B. & S. 



ALBANY, N, Y„ Nov, 9.— Our honey market 

 is in good shape, although prices, like on most 

 all products, are not high; but receipts are 

 lighter than last year, and there is a good, 

 steady demand, with a real scarcity of white 

 honey. We quote: White clover. 15@16c.; 

 mixed clover, 12@14c.; dark clover, 9@llo, 

 Extracted, white, 6V4@7c,; mixed, 5S4@6c,; 

 dark, 5@5!4c, H, R. W.

EXTRACTED HONEY 



—For Sale.— 



We have made arrangements whereby we 

 furnish Basswood, White Sageor Allalfa 



Extracted Honey, in 60-pound tin cans, on 

 board cars in Chicago, at these prices : 1 can. 



in a case, 8H cents per pound; 2 cans in one 

 case, 8 cents; 4 cans (2 cases) or more, 7i4 

 cents. Cash MtrsT accompany each order. 



^^ A sample of either kind of hooey will 

 be mailed to an Intending purchaser, for 10 

 cents, to cover postage, packing, etc. We 

 guarantee purity, and that what we ship will 

 be equal to sample. 



Now it seems to us that here is a splendid 

 chance tor any bee-keeper to supply his home 

 demand after his own crop is all sold. Or, 

 why not begin now to create a local honey- 

 trade ? Order one 60-pound can first, and 

 start out among your neighbors and friends, 

 and see what you can do. You ought to get 

 at least 15 cents per pound in 5-pound lots, or 

 50 cents for 3 pounds. Some may be able to 

 do even better than that, though we think 

 that enough ought to be sold at these 

 prices to make a fairly paying business out of 

 it. Give it a good trial. Push it. It may 

 grow into a nice winter's work for you,
