 necessary. 



The honey from diseased colonies 

 will do no harm to human beings ; but 

 I would sug^g-est that the production of 

 comb hqney in disease-infected ;locali- 

 ties be discontinued, and that extracted 

 only be produced. It may be a hard- 

 ship to observe all these precautions, 

 now, but it will mean many dollars in 

 the future, even if it is a sacrifice now.

The Farm as a Factory.— Our modern agri- 

 culture demands that the farm shall be some- 

 thing more than a mere producer of raw mate- 

 rial to be workt into a finisht product by some 

 one else. The times are so rapidly changing in 

 this particular that the best farms all over the 

 country now conform more nearly to this 

 changed order of things. Where it was the 

 custom a few years ago to raise cattle, hogs and 

 sheep, merely that they might be sold as 

 ** stockers " to some man who completed the 

 process by fattening and marketing them, they 

 are now fattened and finisht at home and by the 

 man who raised them. Farm cheese and farm 

 dairy butter are now taking high rank and 

 serve as other examples of farm manufacture. 

 Farm-cured hams and farm-made sausages may 

 also be referred to. Of course, all these changes 

 and tendencies — and we have only pointed out a 

 few of them — call for better and more business- 

 like methods on the farm. They call, above all 

 else, for a strong, durable and highly efficient 

 power. If the power is portable it possesses 

 many advantages over the stationary power. In 

 many sections it is found advantageous to have 

 a community power — one which is owned cou- 

 jointlj by several farmers and which may 

 travel about from farm to farm as needed, sup- 

 plying power for threshing, cutting ensilage 

 and other feed, grinding grain, sawing wood, 

 etc. Among those powersspecially welladapted 

 to this use is the Rumely Traction Engine. The 

 Rumely engines differ from others of their 

 class, in their easy steaming qualities, and they 

 possess unusual actual horse-power. In addi- 

 tion they are very simple and easy to handle. 

 Their traction qualities are excellent and make 

 them fast travelers on the road. It will be well 

 for any farmer, or association of farmers, who 

 think of buying an engine, to look into the 

 merits of the Rumely before buying. Address,

 ican Bee Journal.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, June H.— Not any new comb honey 

 has appeared on the market, but it would sell 

 at 15 cents, as there is a demand for it that can't 

 be supplied for some time hence. J 



Extracted from the Southern States is coming 

 forward quite freely, but is not active and prices 

 are lower. White sells at 6J^<a^7c: amber, 6^0^65^ ; 

 dark grades, 5@5J^. Beeswax, 27c for prime. 

 R. A. Burnett & Co. 



KansasCity, June 11. —We quote: No. 1 white 

 comb, 14(ml5c; No. 1 amber, 13(ail4c; No. 2 white 

 and amber, 13(ail3J^c. Extracted, white, 1%(QiHc; 

 amber, 7c. Beeswax. 22@25c '0-i</m S^ 



Very little comb honey on the market but 

 what is candied, which is almost unsalable; 

 stock of extracted, light. No beeswax in the 

 market. C. C. Clemons & Co, 



Detroit, May 24. — Fancy white comb, 15@16c; 

 No- 1, white, Hfa'lSc; amber and dark, 10(ail2c. 

 Extracted, white, 7c; amber and dark, 5(^c. 

 Beeswax, 25(at26c. 



Supplv and demand for honey both limited. 

 M. H. Hunt & Son, 



New York, May 21.— Our market is practi- 

 cally bare of comb honey, and there is a good 

 demand for white at from 13(aH5c per pound, ac- 

 cording to quality and style of package. The 

 market on extracted is rather quiet, and inact- 

 ive. New crop is slow in coming in, and prices 

 have not yet been establisht. Beeswax holds 

 firmat2"@28c. Hildreth Sz Segelken. 



San Francisco, June 6.— White comb, 11K<& 

 12Mc; amber, 8(ail0c. Extracted, white,6}^(ffl7c. 

 light amber, (>(&.6j^c; amber, 5@5J^c; Beeswax, 

 26@27c. 



There is not much honey on market, either 

 old or new. Small quantities of new comb and 

 extracted are going to local trade at compara- 

 tively stiff values. In some instances, espe- 

 cially for comb, an advance on best figures 

 warranted as a quotation are being realized. To 

 secure export orders, however, of anything like 

 wholesale proportions, prices above noted would 

 have to be materially shaded.
