is sold. I usually exchange it for liquid, 

 whether it was paid for before or not. A 

 uniform price is adhered to with all. I 

 have it now in seven towns, in some 00 

 stores, or more. 



I also sell some honey in bulk, peddling 

 around to consumers. I use an old novice 

 extractor-can, fixed on the back of my 

 spring-wagon box. and carry along a plat- 

 form spring scale to weigh on. I also sell 

 considerable in pails, using the five sizes, 

 from a pint to 10 pounds, and fill them so as 

 to make the prices even money — 1.5, 25, 50, 

 75 cents and $1.00. 



The price must he so as to correspond 

 with such as generally obtain in your 

 vicinity. I set my price as low as possible 

 at the beginning of the season, and then 

 stick to it clear through, regardless of what 

 some small uninformed producer may sell 

 bis at. 



I extract but very little uncapped honey 

 — not more than one-flfth or one-sixth, con- 

 sequently my boney is uniformly good, and 

 that, with fair dealing, and a constant en- 

 deavor to be pleasing and obliging, I find 

 after some years begins to tell, mid pays.

Sells Direct to Consumers. 



My report for 1895 is, (JOO pounds of comb 

 honey from 9 colonies, spring count, in- 

 creased to HO. I have them in good condi- 

 tion for sate wintering. I sell my honey 

 direct to the consumer, by the pound or the 

 crate. I grade my honey in three grades. 

 and sell at 10 cents, 12i.,, and 15 for fancy. 

 I have no trouble to sell my honey. I took 

 the premium at the Gentry County Fair.

Ten-Frame Hive Suits Him. 



I have found out that 10 Langstroth 

 frames in any kind of a hive that can be 

 packed with very dry forest leaves, is all 

 right for me. If the hives are large enough, 

 you will not be bothered about swarming 

 and its results. I transferred two colonies 

 last spring, and they gave me 73 pounds of 

 honey each, but did not swarm. Put on 

 the sections and give the bees plenty of 

 brood-chamber, and you will get the honey, 

 by having plenty of bees to gather it.

Oceola, Ohio, Dec. 23, 1895. 



Dry Weather the Cause. 



Bees in this locality did not store much 

 surplus honey the past season, the dry 

 weather being the cause. The lands through 

 this section are all highly cultivated, no 

 waste places for sweet clover, golden-rod, 

 etc., to grow. The basswood is also nearly 

 depleted, consequently the outlook for bee- 

 keepers is anything but encouraging, al- 

 though we are all hopeful for another year. 



I would like to correspond with some bee- 



Results of the Fast Season. 



I started last spring with 7 colonies, in- 

 creased to 21, and got about 800 pounds of 

 comb honey. H. D. Philpot.
