CHICAGO — The supply of comb honey on 

 this market is very light at this writing. All 

 of the better grades have been marketed. In- 

 deed, there is very little cf any kind now 

 offered. Prices range from 16c to ITc per 

 lb. for the best grades, and the amber grades 

 from 13c to 14c, with the fancy light amber 

 bringing 15c per lb. There remains quite a 

 liberal supply of extracted honey, but it is 

 beirg gradually reduced. Prices tor the white 

 clover and lindens range from 9c to 10c per 

 Ibl, other white honeys Sc to 9c per lb., with 

 the amber grades having a range of froin Gc 

 to 9c per lb. according to what produced from, 

 body and flavor, there being a demand for 

 sage honey and what little is obtainable sells 

 readily. Beeswax is steady at from 30c to 

 32c per lb., according to color and cleanliness.

 Friend Tyrrell : 



I have read with the deepest mterest 

 the article by Virgil Sires, North Ya- 

 kima, Wash., especially that part of it 

 relating to the heating of honey as it 

 is extracted. This is of very great im- 

 portance. I would like very much to 

 hear more on the subject. Does the 

 honey really keep liquid as long, or 

 longer, as when liquified later? Who 

 else has made experiments? An inex- 

 pensive arrangement by which it could 

 be done scientifically, with perfect con- 

 trol, would be of great value to the pro- 

 ducers of extracted honey. 



Will watch the Review sharply' for 

 more on the matter. 



Yours very kindly, 



A. MOTTAZ.

I don't want the Review stopped as 

 long as I keep bees — until I tell you 

 so. I think the Review is very much 

 improved to what it used to be. I wish 

 you would ask for more articles on 

 sweet clover. That seems to be all 

 the go now. I have a little of it and 

 shall try more.

 Mr. E. B. Tyrrell. 

 Dear Sir: — 



T subscribed for your magazine aljout 

 two months ago, getting all of the back 

 numbers for this year. They have 

 fascinated me so that I just have^ to 

 sit up nights to read them. The first 



number that I picked up to read, I 

 thought that I could run through in a 

 short time, but sat up real late with a 

 hard day's work ahead as I just had to 

 absorb the articles almost word for 

 word there were so many good things 

 in them. 



Respectfully yours, 



Henry A. Lamb.
