 from the comb, and let your finger fol- 

 low after her. Now the device is on 

 your finger like a thimble, and you 

 have both hands to work with. Put 

 the frames all back and put on the top- 

 board, then clip away. You can crowd 

 the queen with your finger so that she 

 is almost still. Clip thru the wire with 

 scissors. C. Cr.\nk.

— FREE AS A PREMIUM 



For Sending: us One New Subscriber lor a Year. 



There has been so much written 

 about both the white and the yellow 

 variety of sweet clover, that we will 

 simply say here that if one of our pres- 



ent regular subscribers will send us $1 

 with a new name for next year (1901), 

 we will send the new subscriber the bal- 

 ance of this year's (1900) numbers free, 

 and mail, postpaid, to the one sending 

 the new name and the dollar, either 

 one pound of yellow sweet clover seed, 

 or two pounds of the white sweet clo- 

 ver. This is a good chance to get a 

 start of both kinds of these honey clo- 

 vers. Better send two new subscribers 

 (with $2.00) and get the three pounds 

 of seed. Address,

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. li.— 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 of buckwheat, and for the present 

 there is plenty of supply to meet the demand. 

 We quote: Fancy white comb, 15(ail6c; No. 1, 

 white, 14(aJ'14'^2c; fancy amber, liy^w \2,c\ amber, 

 ll(rtl2c; buckwheat, 10(«'llc.

 changed quotations. Beeswax dull at 27c.

 tracted, white, 7^(a8c; light amber, 6^4 @7J4c; 

 amber. SJ^(a>6^c. Beeswax. 26(^28c. 



There would be considerable activity in this 

 article if stocks were obtainable in greater 

 quantity at or near the values now ruling. Sup- 

 plies are too small, however, to admit of much 

 movement. Present offerings are mostly of 

 amber grades and a rather large proportion is 

 comb. 



A HONEY MARKET.— Don't think that your 

 crop is too large or too small to interest us. We 

 have bought and sold five carloads already this 

 season, and want more. We pay spot cash. Ad- 

 dress, g-iving quality, quantitv'and price,
