THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



[December, 



gaged in exploiting the business that 

 they may sell supplies, etc., but the 

 man keeping bees for his bread and 

 butter should know definitely whether 

 he is or is not employing his time to 

 the best advantage. The pleasure it 

 yields, the health it brings, and the 

 freedom and time for travel or recrea- 

 tion, must not be considered until it is 

 known whether or not a fair return is 

 being received for the time, labor and 

 capital involved. If a man has no one 

 dependent upon him or if he has out- 

 side means he may be able to ignore 

 these things but otherwise he should 

 know just what he is earning that he 

 may intelligently determine if he shall 

 continue the business or change to 

 some line which will return more for 

 the benefit of those dependent upon 

 him. , (M.)

HONEY AND BBESWAX MARKETS 



(Dealers' Sellinfi: Prices.) 



Denver, Oct. 2S.— So far as we know all 

 comb honey available for carload shipments 

 has been shipped out of the State. We 

 have nearly a carload on hand and more to 

 come in, so as to make a car, but may hold 

 this for local trade. We are in the market 

 for extracted honey and solicit offers with 

 sample. The demand is quite good at pres- 

 ent. We quote our market today as follows: 

 Comb. No. 1 white, $3.25 to $3.50. Light 

 amber and No. 2, $2.75 to $3.00 per crate. 

 Extracted, white, 7 1-2 to 8 1-2 cents. Light
