Experience the Best Teacher. 



But a wise man profits by the experience of 

 others. Every farmer and dairyman needs a 

 practical, helpful paper like 



Dairy andCreamery I 



PUBLISHED AT CHICAGO, ILL. 



filled with information gathered from the actual experience of prac- 

 tical and scientific breeders and feeders ot cattle and pigs. He wants to know how 

 other men get the best results; how to feed to the best profit; how best to utilize his 

 slrim mUlc; how to build up a first-class dairy from the resources he bos; what crops 

 to grow to lieep up the flow of miili at all seasons. 



Last year a patron of a Kansas creamery who read a dairy paper and ^ept good 

 cows, made $36.00 per cow more than the poorest patron of the same creamery who 

 did not read a dairy paper. That means something; it shows the value of an up-to- 

 date, reliable adviser lilie DAIRY AND CREAHERY. (Subscription 50 cts. per year.) 

 We will send DAIRY AND CREAHERY, the best semi- 

 monthly paiier pul>lisheil for farmers and dairymen, 

 absolutely FREE for one year

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Jan. 23.— Tlie trade is takiiiff but 

 little honey; the mild weather may be one 

 cause, but the winter is two-thirds past, and 

 therefore the season is short in which to dis- 

 pose of what remains unsold; all of our custo- 

 mers speak of a light demand. 



Prices remain as formerly quoted, but would 

 be shaded to more round lots. 



R. A. Burnett Si. Co. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 27— There is ag'ood demand 

 for all kinds of extracted honey. White clover 

 and basswood sell at S^8J4c; amber and South- 

 ern, 6(ai'7c, according" to quality and package. 

 Fancy comb honey in no-drip shipping-cases 

 sells at ISfg^Oc; darker grades hard to sell at 

 any price. Beeswax, 26c. C. H. W. Webek, 

 Successor to Chas. F. Muth & Son and A. Muth , 



Los Anc.eles, Jan. 4.— 1-pound frames, 12M- 

 {a)lSc; 2-pound can's, 2 dozen in case, per dozen, 

 $2.50; 2-pound glass pails, per dozen, $2.50. Ex- 

 tracted, water white, 60-pound tins, per pound, 

 8}4c; light amber, 7J^@8c; dark amber, 7J^c. 

 Beeswax, 25^j26c. 



Kansas City, Jan. 19.— We quote No. 1 white 



comb, ISJ^CSiWc; No. 2, 13(^13 J^c; No. 1 amber, 

 13(aJl4c. Extracted, white, 7K(ai8c; amber, 7@7M. 

 Beeswax, 20(a'22c. 



The supply and demand for comb honey is 

 light. The demand for extracted since the first 

 of the year not so good. C. C. Clemons & Co, 



Buffalo, Jan. 5.— Market bare of fancy white 

 oue-pound comb honey, and selling at i5(aii6c; 

 fair to good, 12(§*14c; buckwheat, dark, poor, 

 etc., 8@10c. Fancy pure beeswax, 2S(gi30c. 



Batterson & Co. 



New York, Jan. 10.— Demand is very good for 

 all grades of comb honey. Receipts are some- 

 what light and not up to former years. We 

 quote: 



Fancy white, 15 cents; No. 1, white, 13@14c; 

 amber, ll(o'12c; and buckwheat, 9(a»ilc., as to 

 quality. Extracted remains firm at following 

 prices: California white, SJ^c; light amber, 8c; 

 white clover and basswood, 8c; amber, l%c. 

 Very little trade for extracted buckwheat as yet. 

 Southern, fancy, 7^c per pound; other grades, 

 as to quality, Irom 70c to 75c gallon. Beeswax 

 quiet at 26(gi27c. Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Jan. 10.— White comb, 11^@ 

 125^c; amber, 8@l0c. Extracted, white, 7^^@Sc. 

 light amber, 7(g^7J^c; amber. 5(a'55^c; Beeswax, 

 26®27c. 



Offerings and demand are both light, and this 

 must continue to be the case until the end of 

 the season. Business is necessarily of a retail 

 character, but at generally firm figures, espe- 

 cially for choice extracted, which is in lighter 

 supply than comb. 



Boston, Jan. 12— We quote as follows: Fancy 

 white, 16c; A No. 1, 15c; No. 1, 13(«''14c; buck- 

 wheat will not sell in this city. Extracted, light 

 amber, 7@8c. Demand is very light.

 comb, 15c; No. 1 white, 13@14c; mixt, ll@13c;

 for during January. Peycke Bros.

 1, white, 14tol5c; dark amber, 10(g']3c. Extrac-
