for honey, "If you don't ask it you 

 won't get it." Possibly it may be worth 

 the while for us to consider whether 

 we should not do some asking. 



It is reported that a St. Louis boy 

 ate so much honey he was attacked by 

 hives. 



this season of the year and the cold may in- 

 duce people to buy more freely. Best lots 

 of fancy white comb honey bring 16 cents per 

 pound, No. 1 to choice 15 cents, ofT grades 

 2 to 5 cents less and not much demand for 

 them. Extracted 7 to 8 cents for white, amber 

 6 to 7 cents. Beeswax 30 cents.

 N Y makes a Shine Cabinet, furnished with 

 foot stand, blacking, russet dressing, shot 

 rubber— in fact, all articles and materials need- 

 ed to keep shoes looking their best— and it is 

 made to be fastened to the wall of the toilet 

 room or kitchen, it does away with the vex- 

 atious searching after these anicles which is 

 altogether too copimon. A postal will bring 

 you details of this and other good things.

Cent=a=Word Column. 



It frequently occurs that some member of the 

 Bee-Keeper family desires to advertise for sale 

 some article the value of which will hardly 

 justify the payment of our regular rates; and 

 yet it would be an accommodation if he were 

 permitted to tell others what he has to offer. 

 Some other reader may be in need of just such 

 an article as that of which he wishes to dis- 

 pose. Again, it is as frequentiv desired to ex- 

 change commodities for which we have no 

 especial use, for something more desirable, and 

 such exchanges arc often made to mutual ad- 

 vantage. We have, therefore, decided to place 

 at the disposal of our readers a column devot- 

 ed to the accomplishment of these ends: though 

 we cannot be responsible for any possible dissat- 

 isfaction which might arise as a result of such 

 exchanges. The rate will be uniformly one cent 

 for each word, each month; no advertisement 

 however small will be accepted for less than 

 twenty cents, and must be paid in advance. 

 Cuunt the words, and remit with order accord- 

 ingly. ^^^
