 such are not the conditions in Canada. — 

 R. F. Holtermann. 



The extracted. Work your market by 

 giving small bottles of your choicest to 

 prospective customers. — W. M. Barnum. 



A gallon of extracted honey will 

 weigh 12 pounds, and at $1.00 per 

 gallon would be 83< cents per pound. 

 With only 1% cents difference, I should 

 produce only extracted. — C. H. Dibbern. 



Extracted will pay the best at $1.00 

 per gallon, or 8 cents per pound, as you 

 get more honey, and if you can sell your 

 extracted as readily at 8 cents as your 

 comb honey at 10 cents, by all means 

 produce extracted. — Mrs. Jennie Atch- 



LEY. 



Extracted. Honey weighs about 12 

 pounds to the gallon, and if sold for 

 $1.00 per gallon it would be equal to 

 about 8 cents per pound. Your bees 

 should produce one-half more extracted 

 than comb honey, or, in other words, 

 they would store 12 cents worth of ex- 

 tracted to 10 cents worth of comb 

 honey, at the price you mention. — Mrs. 

 J. N Heater. 



Extracted, by all means, as there is 

 only about 2 cents per pound difference 

 in price. In my own locality I could 

 make it pay better to sell extracted at 6 

 cents per pound than comb honey at 10 

 cents. Localities differ, though, in re- 

 gard to honey-gathering. Some bee- 

 keepers have told me that, taking it 

 all in all, they can do better producing 

 comb honey where both sell at the same 

 price. — J. E. Pond.
