Voim, N07. 16,1889. No. 46. 



(Qg^ Mr. C. Theilmannn met with an 

 accident lately. His horses ran away, and 

 he was thrown out of his wagon, and broke 

 his collar-bone. It has been ''set,'" and he 

 is recovering. 



The Ouardian, New Castle, Pa., 

 having lately published one of the floating 

 sensational articles about " Bees having 

 been declared a nuisance in New York," 

 Mr. T. S. Sanford sent the editor of that 

 paper an editorial from the Bee Jopkxal 

 on the matter, and it was published in the 

 &uardian of Oct. 31, with Mr. Sanford's 

 remarks as follows : 



Editok Glardiax : — The following taken 

 from the American Bee Jochnal refers to 

 an item appearing in your paper a few 

 weeks ago, regarding bees being declared a 

 nuisance in the courts of New York. This 

 case will be carried to the Supreme Court 

 and defended by the Bee-Keepers' Union. 

 The Union has never lost a suit it has de- 

 fended, and it is worthy the support of all 

 bee-keepers. 



It is the duty of bee-keepers everyTvhere, 

 when they notice in their local papers arti- 

 cles which do injustice to the pursuit, to 

 refute them at once in the papers where 

 they appeared — as Mr. Sanford has so 

 nobly done. 



E^" Mr. S. L. Watkins has withdrawn 

 from the Western Apiarian, which will 

 hereafter be edited and published by Mr 

 Frank E. McCallum. It has reached its 

 fifth number, and we hope it will succeed — 

 but it is an up-hill business to establish any 

 new periodical, and requires lots of money 

 to sustain it until the point is reached when 

 it will pay expenses. Its editor promises 

 to publish it for one year, if it takes all the 

 money he has or can raise in the world. He 

 is pltieky — that is certain. 



Honey Almanac. 



Its 32 pages are filled with interesting 

 facts, figures and suggestions concerning 

 the uses of Honey for Food, Beverages, 

 Cooking, Medicines, Cosmetics, Vinegar, 

 etc. Also, its effects on the human system 

 are tersely noted ; a brief refutation is given 

 of the Wiley lie about manufactured comb 

 honey ; a short dissertation sets forth the 

 mission of bees in fertilizing the flowers, 

 and increasing the fruit product. Instead 

 of being an injury to fruit, bees are the 

 fruit-growers' best friends. 



Beeswax, its uses, how to render it, and its 

 importance as a commercial product, is der 

 scribed, and 17 useful Recipes are given. 



Each alternate page is an illustrated 

 calendar for the mouth — making a complete 

 Ahnanac for the year 1890. 



Here is what is said of it by those who 

 have seen the Honey Almanac : 



The Honey Almanac is here. Please allow 

 me to congi-atulate you, and the bee-keep- 

 ers as well. This ought to aid every bee- 

 keeper to the easier and better disposal of 

 his honey. You have stowed between these 

 covers very much valuable information — 

 just what we need to scatter broad-east. I 

 hope they will " go like honey-cakes." — A. 

 J. Cook, Agricultural College, Mich. 



The " Honey Almanac " to hand. Allow 

 me to say that I believe it will mark a new 

 era with beekeepers, as regards the selling 

 of our product, and meets a long felt ivnnt. 

 Patent medicine men have "got rich "by 

 this way of advertising their wares, and I 

 see no reason why we as apiarists should 

 not take advantage of such "pointers." — 

 G. M. Doolittle, Borodino, N. Y. 



The "Honey Almanac" is something 

 unique. It is a fine thing to have so many 

 honey recipes, in such compact form, 

 always ready for refei-ence. It would be a 

 good thing to have such things circulated 

 among customers.— C. C. Miller, Marengo, 

 Ills. 



The new " Honey Almanac " should fulfill 

 every object sought by its projectors. It 

 would be diflicult to conceive of a better 

 plan to develop and enlarge a home market 

 for our products than the distribution of 

 these Almanacs. The interest you have 

 manife.sted in bee-half of bee-keepers in 

 this matter, should meet with a hearty 

 response. — G.L. Tinker, New Philadelphia,©. 



Your Honey Almanac is just received. 

 My first thought was, "How in the world 

 can they furnish it at the prices quoted T' 

 The recipes, useful suggestions, and valua- 

 ble information it contains is worth many 

 times its cost, and must be of great value 

 to the public and the bee-keeper, if scat- 

 tered broad-cast by him. I hope you will 

 sell a million before the first of January. — 

 Geo. E. Hilton, Fremont, Micb. 



The " Honey Almanac " is received. Of 

 the many Almanacs published, this is surely 

 the best and most useful of all. It will as- 

 sist greatly in creating a demand for the 

 purest and best of sweets — honey. — J. W. 

 Buchanan, Eldora, Iowa. 



The "Honey Almanac" for 1890 is re- 

 ceived. There is much valuable matter 

 contained in it, interesting alike to the 

 honey-producer as well as the consumer. 

 I believe it would be greatly to the interest 

 of every honej'-producer to circulate the 

 "Honey Almanac" freely throughout the 

 community where he lives. I hope eveiy 

 bee-keeper will see to it that this is done. — 

 J. W. McKinney, Camargo, Ills. 



I have received the Almanac, and it just 

 fills the bill — something we should have had 

 before.— J. W. LeRoy, Rio, Wis. 



I think that the Honey Almanac is the 

 best way of advertising our honey yet 

 thought of.— G. C. Spencer, Pantou, \t. 



I have examined the Honey Almanac, 

 and find it a capital hit. If one's home 

 market be lifeless, a liberal distribution of 

 the Almanac cannot fail, it seems to me, 

 to give it life.— R. L. Taylor, Lapeer, Mich. 



The Honey Almanac is received, and 1 

 consider it a triumph in our line. Its use^ 

 fulness as a collection of recipes ought to 

 insure its presei-vation in every home, and 

 thereby increase the demand for honey 

 immensely.— J. M. Shuck, Des Moines, loa. 



The " Honey Almanac " is received. It- 

 is very nicely gotten up with many valua- 

 ble recipes, and the calendar part is very 

 handily and plainly put toget"her, inter- 

 vened by honey recipes, so that by looking 

 to find the date, any one can hardly fail to 

 notice the honey literature, and thereby 

 do the work that the Almanac is intended 

 to do. Every producer of honey should 

 order some of these helping-means to sell 

 and get good prices for honey — as the 

 money paid for them will surely bring big 

 returns, if distributed over our whole land. 

 — C. Theilmann, TheUmanton, Minn. 



The "Honey Almanac" for 1890 is re- 

 ceived. I have perused it, and find in it a 

 most apposite work for the dissemination 

 of knowledge pertaining to bees, honey, 

 wax, and other useful information. 



I am of the opinion that any household 

 which may possess this Almanac, where 

 there was a paucity of facts concerning 

 honey, its important qualities, and in the 

 matter of the manufacturing of the so- 

 called " artificial comb honey " previous to 

 obtaining it, will, after perusing and digest- 

 ing its contents, rebuke with a severe and 

 just hand all articles emanating from the 

 reporter's imaginative brains. 



The book contains enough of facts aside 

 from bee-keeping to make it doubly valua- 

 ble, which, together with its neatness, clean 

 printing, etc., makes it worthy of its name 

 as an Almanac. 



I hope that the sales of the " Honey 

 Almanac " will be colossal, and that it \vill 

 produce an inmensity of good among the 

 people of our grand and glorious United 

 States, towards tlie increasing of the con- 

 sumption of that delicious liquid — honey. 

 — H. K. Staley, Cincinnati, O. 



This Honey Almanac places in the hands 

 of Viee-keepers a powerful lever to revolu- 

 tionize public sentiment, and create a mar- 

 ket foi- honey, by making a demand for it 

 in eveiy localit)' in America. 



Wisdom would dictate that a million of 

 them be scattered by the first of January.
