Utah.— The Utah State Hee-Keepers' Associa- 

 tion will hold its scTiii-aunual couveiitioti in the 

 Cilj' and County Building, Salt Lake City, Apr. 

 6. I'^OO, at 10 o'clock a.m. A full program in the 

 interest of the industry will be presented, and 

 all our bee-keepers can help themselves by aid- 

 ing the Association, and in order to create a 

 closer bond of union among our bee-keepers. As 

 ■ a further incentive to the success of the bee-in- 

 dustry, it is very desirable to have our bee-keep- 

 ers from all parts attend the spring convention.

What is Bromuslnermis?— Our attention has 

 been directed to this wonderful new grass by 

 L. Iv. May & Co., St. Paul, Minn., whose adver- 

 tisement appears elsewhere in this issue.' Bro- 

 mus Inermis or Brome Grass while referred to 

 above as being new is not entirely unknown in 

 this country, but it is in its native country of 

 Russia that it is most highly appreciated. Its 

 prime characteristics are its wonderful produc- 





mm 



BROMUS 

 INERMIS 



tiveaess and ability to grow, thrive and produce 

 abundant crops of pasturage and hay in dry, 

 semi-arid sections and localities where other 

 grasses fail signally. It is hardy almost be- 

 yond comparison and is not affected by drouth, 

 will not winter-kill and cannot be flooded out. 

 It grows as well in low, swampy places as in 

 the lighter dry upland where other grasses fail. 

 Phis enables every farmer to make productive, 

 portions of the farm that would otherwise be 

 waste land. It has been found that the yield is 

 greater than alfalfa; that it will produce heavy 

 crops on the lightest of soils; that one seeding 

 will last under ordinary conditions for 12 years; 

 that it grows best when seeded alone and not in 

 combination with other grains, and that the 

 food value when converted into hav is superior 

 to timothy of the same quality.' There are 

 many sections of the countrv where Brome 

 Grass will prove of large value because of the 

 e.vcellent qualities enumerated above. In local- 

 ities where there is only slight rainfall or where 

 there is only a limited amount of water for irri- 

 gation purposes, it would seem especially wise 

 to experiment with this grass. Write May &; 

 Co. for any special matter thev may have on 

 the subject. We feel personally that a new for- 

 age crop that offers such promise deserves the 

 most careful consideration and investigation.

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



Los Angeles, Jan. 4.— 1-pound frames, 12'A-

 etc., SCfflluc. Fancy pure beeswax, 28(ai30c. 



Batteeson & Co. 



New York, Feb. 8.— During the past 30 days 

 our mat ket has been somewhat slow and easy 

 in both comb and extracted honey. Stocks of 

 comb honey, however, are almost exhausted, 

 and there is a fair demand for all grades. 

 Fancy white selling at ISc; No. 1 white at 13<al 

 14c; fancy amber, IKa 12c, and buckwheat at Ofal 

 lie, according to quality, etc. 



Our market is well supplied with extracted,

 quality. HiLDRETH & Segelken.

 light amber, 7(al7J^c, amber, S(m5'Ac: Beeswax. 

 26(a27c. —J 



Offerings and demand are both light, and tTiis 

 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, ISc; No. 1, 13®14c; buck- 

 wheat will not sell in this city. Extracted, light 

 amber, fSSc. Demand is very light.

 comb, I5c: No. I white, 13@il4c: mixt, ll(&H3c; 

 buckwheat, lOMllc. Extracted, white, 8@9c; 

 mixt, b'ACmlc; dark, 6. Beeswax, 26(s'28c. 



MacDougal & Co. 



Successors to Chas. McCuUoch & Co. 



Omaha, Feb. 13.— Demand shows some im- 

 provement in January, having been much more 

 active, but as anticipated there is no advance in 

 prices. Market remains steady at 14w 14!^c for 

 fancy white comb and SJ4c for white extracted. 

 The latter is pretty well cleaned up along the 

 Missouri River, and it looks as if there would 

 be some shortage before another crop comes in. 

 From present appearances there is about enough 

 comb honey to go around at the present prices, 

 hence we look for no particular change in 

 values. PeyckeBros. 



Detroit, Feb. 10.— Fancy white comb,lS(Sii6c; 

 No 1, white, 13fe>14c; fancy amber, ll@12c: dark 

 and undesirable lots, 8@10c. Extracted, white, 

 7(ai754c: amber and dark,5@6c. Beeswax, 25@26c, 

 Supply of honey fair with light demand.
