the atmosphere in this jiart of the couiitry in 

 coniparisou with what it useJ to be. At times 

 the l3h)om is, to all ai)pearani'C, perreet, and 

 there is plenty of it, hut tlu' bees pass it by. 

 I have come to the eoiiclusion that liowever 

 lar;,'e the crop of bloom, there will be no nee- 

 tar it the atmosphere is not just right to pro- 

 tluce it. Consequently tile-ilraininj;, clear- 

 ing the land, and other like improvements 

 have brouKiit this peculiar condition about, 

 and we will have to look to something besides 

 hees in this locality for a livelihood. But we 

 will trust that next season will be a good one, 

 and will keep on reading the " Old Reliable " 

 and do the liest we can, and let the bees do 

 the rest. V. W. (iREOOU.

The "Barler Ideal" 



OIL=HEATER.... 



Saves Its Cost Every Year ! 



NO ODOR! NO SMOKE 1 NO ASHES I 



Costs only a cent an hour to run it. 



The editor of the American Bee Jimrnal is using the 

 "Barler Ideal ■' Oil Heater, and it is all right in every way. 

 We liked it so well that we wanted our readers to have it 

 too, so we have recently arranged with its manufacturers to 

 till our orders. The picture shown herewith is the one we 

 reconmicnd for general use. It is a perfect gem of a stove 

 for heating diuiug-rooms, bed-rooms, and bath-rooms. It 

 hinges back in a substantial way, and is thoroly well made 

 thruout. The lu'u removes for heating water. The brass 

 fount, or well, has a bail, and holds nearly one gallon of 

 kerosene oil. It is just as sate as an ordinary lamp. You 

 wouldn't be without it for twice its cost, after once having 

 oue of these stoves. Most oil-stoves emit an offensive odor, 

 but this one doesn't. Its hight is 2}i feet, and weighs 

 20 pounds, or 30 pounds crated ready for shipment, 

 either by freight or express. 



Price, f.o.b. Chicago, $6.00 ; or, combined 

 with a year's subscription to the American Bee 

 Journal— both Ibr only $e.50. Full Directions 

 GO WITH EACH Stove. 



If you want something that is really serviceable, 

 relial.ile, and thoroly comfortable, you should get this 

 " Barler Ideal " Oil Stove, as it can easily be carried 

 by any woman from one room to another, and thus 

 have all the heat you want right where you want it.

There is no opportunity for much activity in 

 this article, spot stocks being of such slim pro- 

 portions as to admit of little other than a light 

 jobbing trade. Market has a lirm tone, with 

 prospect of values being maintained at current 

 range thruout the season. 



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
