matter of getting' along without sun- 

 dry tools, etc., or of making some poor 

 substitute do. We do not have hives 

 enough, excluder-boards or surplus 

 stock of combs. How many have even 

 a room exclusively for apicultural 

 work, not to mention a building prop- 

 erly fitted for it ? 



Winter will soon be here with its 

 stormy days and long evenings, afford- 

 ample opportunity for a careful in- 

 spection of )'our outfit. Is your api- 

 ary in the most convenient location ? 

 If you have no honey-house and work- 

 house, can you build one ? Have you 

 a modern extractc r, good uncapping- 

 knives, a good smoker in good order, 

 a good foundation-fastener ? Have 

 you suitable feeders ready for instant 

 use when needed ? If you rear even a 

 few queens for your own use, are you 

 properly equipt for it ? Are your con- 

 veniences for preparing your crop for 

 market all that could be desired ? 



Is your business stationery correct ? 

 Let it be of good paper and the print- 

 ing artistic and well done. This is an 

 item that will pay for careful atten- 

 tion. 



Look all these things over and see 

 where you can save steps, for these 

 save time and that means money, even 

 more than j'ou may realizo. See where 

 you can increase your outfit to advan- 

 tage. It is capital with which to con- 

 duct business. 



Are you equipt to conduct your busi- 

 ness most economically ? Is your cap- 

 ital sufficient for the volume of busi- 

 ness that you are trying to do ? 



These are questions which it will pay 

 you to ponder well.

W. K. Cromwell Produce Co., 

 Successors to C. C. demons & Co, 



Bdffalo. Oct. 26.— Fancy honey is just about 

 unobtainable, and not a ca e noticed in market. 

 Such would sell at probably 20c. I'ew lots

 quality. Beeswax, 27c. 



The above are my selling prices. I do not 

 handle any honey on commission, but pay spot 

 cash on delivery. c. H. W. Weber. 



New York, Oct. fti.- During the past two 

 weeks, receipts of comb honey have been quite- 

 extensive, several carloads of California and 

 Nevada honey having arrived, and some large 

 shipments ot buckwheat, and for the present 

 there is pit nty of supply to meet the demand. 

 We quoie: Fancy white comb, 15(g^l6c; No. 1, 

 white, 14(a'14'-:;c; fancy amber, 125^(«('13c; amber, 

 ll(a'12c; buckwheat, l(i(a lie.

 changed quotations. Beeswax dull at 27c.

Stocks of all descriptions are light, and es- 

 pecially is w.ater white scarce, the latter being 

 hardly quotable. Stocks of amber comb are of 

 fair volume for an off year. Former quotations, 

 remain in force, with market decidedly firm for 

 all desirable stock.
