HONEY and BEESWAX 



The following- rules for gradlug honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 ABSoclatlon, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions are made accordiug to these rules: 



Fancv.— All sections to be well filled ; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and flrmly at- 

 tached to all four sidfs; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled by travel-sialn, or otherwise: all the 

 cells sealed except the row ol cells next the 

 wood. 



No. 1.— All sections well filled, but combs 

 uneven or crooked, detached at the bottom, 

 or with but lew cells unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsoiled by travel-stain or other- 

 wise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classi- 

 fied according to color, using the terms white, 

 amber and dark. That is. there will be "fancy 

 white," " No. 1 dark." etc. 



Chicag'o, 111., Mar, 9.— Fancy white. 11® 

 12c. : No. 1, 1 Oc. : lancy amber, 9c. ; No. 1. 7c. ; 

 fancy dark. TQSc; No. 1. 6@Tc. Extracted, 

 white. o@Tc. : amber. 5@6c. ; dark, 4@5c. 

 Beeswax, 25@27c. 



For all bee-product, with exception of bees- 

 wax, there is a slow demand, with ample 

 stocks. 



Albany, H. Y., Mar. 6,— Fancy white, 12- 

 i:ic.; Nq. 1. 11-12C.: fancy dark. V-Sc. ; No. 1. 

 6-7e.; Extracted, white, -TK-ec: dark. 4-5c. 



The honey market Is very quiet and stock 

 moving very slowly, even at rednoed prices. 

 White clover is not plentiful. Extracted Is 

 moving very slowly, but we hope for an im- 

 proved demand soon. 



Indiananolis, Ind., Peb. 20.— Fancy white. 

 14-loc.: No. 1 white. 12-13c. Extracted, 

 white, 6-7c. Beeswax. 22-23c.

 demand for Inferior grades. 



Boston, Mass., Teb. 20.— Fancy white, 13 

 14c.; No. 1. 11-120. Extracted, white, 6-7c. ;

 white, 6@7c.; amber, 4H@5iic. Beeswax. 22 

 (a25c. 



There Is not very much honey in our mar- 

 ket Selling rather slow. Demand beginning 

 to be a little better. Think trade will be fair 

 In this line this fall.

 10!4c.; dark. 7@8^4c. Extracted, white, in

San Francisco, Calif., Feb. 24.— White 

 comb. 9-lOc.; amber. .5-7c. Extracted, white. 

 5-5^c.; light amber, 4-4HC.; amber colored

 lancy dark. 7-8c. Extracted, white. 3-7o. ; 

 amber, 4-oc.; dark, 3!^-4c. Beeswax, 25c. 



Season Is getting over for comb honey — very 

 little demand. Extr.icted in good demand. 



New York, N, T ,Feb. 20 —There has been 

 a little better demand for comb honey during 

 the last two weeks Prices, however.'will not 

 improve, as the season is too far advanced 

 and plenty ol stouk laying on the market. 

 We have a good demand for extracted buck- 

 wheat, candied, and bee-keepers having their 

 crop on hand yet, should now market It. 



Beeswax is quiet at 2S 28c., according to 

 quality. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Mar. 9. — Demand is 



slo - lor extracted and comb honev. Wequote 

 comb honey at 10@13c.; extracted. GHSSc.

 at this time of the year.

 good to choice yellow.

100 State Street, *, Chicago, 111. 



MojisI*'*.— Very little is required in 

 these ca.-ios it the patient is kept in a mod- 

 erately warm room. The greatest danger 

 results from exposure to colds, when the dis- 

 ease is apt to attack the lungs, eventuating 

 in pneumonia. It has in rare cases so 

 affected the kidneys as to lay the founda- 

 tion for Bright's disease. Plenty of warm 

 drinks and gruels are safegards in measles. 



Sore 'I'lii-Oiits are common at this 

 season, but should be given prompt and 

 careful attention, not so much for tbe pres- 

 ent conditions as in anticipation of the 

 aggravated results which are likely to 

 occur if neglected. Camphorated ointment 

 — before referred to in this column — is an 

 excellent applioatiou outside the throat, 

 protected by a substantial linen bandage. 

 It should be kept on until well. If fever 

 exists, a drop ot tincture ot aconite every 

 hour will relieve it. A gargle ot one tea- 

 spoonful of soda, six of honey, and a quart 

 of water — a mouthful used every hour — 

 affords quick relief. 



Well, 1 suppose it is not always conven- 

 ient to obtain the remedies prescribed, 

 simple as they are, but if every home kept 

 a family case of medicine — such, for in- 

 stance, as the publishers of this paper will 

 send you a description of upon request — 

 vou would then have no trouble. 



Bed-WeHing'. — I have received many 

 letters from anxious mothers regarding 

 this unfortunate habit afflicting their chil- 

 dren. I say to them, don't worry ; much 

 less make insinuating and cruel remarks to 

 the little ones regarding it. They cannot 

 help it. What you consider laziness on 

 their part is a form ot nervousness they 

 cannot overcome until the system matures. 

 Medicines are generally worse than useless. 

 Simply bear their troubles patiently — yes, 

 comfort and console them. A mother's kiss 

 is vastly more effective than a lot of scold- 

 ing- 



■Eliciiiiiati!ini. — The kind of rainy, 

 foggy weather that has recently prevailed 

 is likely to make itself felt in the joints and 

 muscles of the middle-aged. Where one 

 can do it, the hugging ot a hot stove is one 

 of the best remedies. Warmth is absolutely 

 essential — the more intense the heat the 

 better. 



A few drops ot bryonia every hour or 

 two helps mightily to keep down the sharp 

 pains that often attends tiie stiffness of tbe 

 joints. 



Eai-nclio. too, is likely to attack the 

 younger members of the family from the 

 same cause. A little camphorated ointment 

 melted in a teaspoon and pourei into the 

 ear pretty warm, soon lets the child into 

 happy slumbers. Dr. Peiro.
