fiONEY and BEESWAX 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions are made according to these rules: 



Fancv.— All sections to be well flUed; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 uosoiled by trnvel-staln, or otherwise; all the 

 cells sealed except the row of cells next the 

 wood. 



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

 uneven or crooked, detached at the bottom, 

 or with but few cells unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsolled 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. 



Cliicag'o, 111.. Mar, 19.— Fancy white. 11® 

 1 2c. ; No. 1 , 1 0@1 1 c. : fancy amber, 9c. ; No. 1 , 

 7c.; fancy dark. 8c.; No. 1, 7c. Extracted, 

 white, 5(a7c. ; amber, 5©6o. ; dark, 4 >4c. Bees- 

 wa.x, 25@'27c. 



Stocks are working down, but there is no 

 Improvement in price. The season for comb 

 honey is drawing to a close. Any one intend- 

 ing to market in the cities should do so now. 



Albany, N. Y., Mar. 20,— Fancy white, 12- 

 i:!c.; No. 1. 11-12C.: tancv amber, 9-IOc.; 

 No. 1. 8-9c.; fancy dark, 7-8c ; No. 1, 6-7c.

 season. Stock on baud small.

 14-15C.: No. 1 white, 12-i:3c. Extracted, 

 white, 6-7e. Beeswax, 22-2oc.

 demand for inferior grades.

 ©25c. 



There is not very much honey ItJ our mar- 

 ket Selling rather slow. Demand beginning 

 to be a little better. Think trade will be fair 

 In this line this fall.

 stock— comb slow sale. Beeswax, 23@23i4c,

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

Season is getting over for comb honey — very 

 little demand. Extracted in good demand. 



ITew York, W, Y ,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 stock 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 20 28c.. according to 

 quality. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Mar, 22. — Demand is 

 slo- lor all kinds of honey, with a fair suD- 

 ply. Comb honey, 10@13e. for best grades;

'I'iial 'I'oolliac-lie. — Good! Now 

 every lioy who has an aching tooth can, 

 with a little trouble, be his own dentist, 

 and fill his own teeth. A good preparation 

 is now sold for 35 cents in the drug stores, 

 with full directions how to use it. 



Sore !•;.>■«■<.; may be due to a catarrhal 

 cold, or may be the result ot infection from 

 a sufferer from that disease. The lids are 

 covered with matter, by which they are 

 generally stuck together over night, part- 

 ing with difficulty and perhaps pain on 

 waking in the morning; the light-either 

 sun or lamp light— being often unbearable. 

 As much pulverized borax as will cover a 

 dime, put into a pint of water, and fre- 

 quently applied in and over the lids, will do 

 great good. A little camphorated ointment 

 applied to the edges of the lids on going to 

 bed will prevent their sticking together. A 

 teaspoonful of Epsom salts, morning and 

 night, taken in hot water is excellent. The 

 diet should be light. If these directions are 

 followed a cure is pretty certain to ensue. 



Sliing'I«->N are itching "welts'"— raised 

 places on the body, particularly the arms, 

 legs, and stomach that look much like big 

 musquito bites. They itch intensely, and 

 scratching does no good. It is the result of 

 a disordered digestion, eating substances 

 that are either too much in quantity or in- 

 digestible. In any case, the stomach needs 

 a rest, and a pinch of cooking soda every 

 hour or two — with an occasional dose ot 

 salts at bed time. There is no danger to be 

 apprehended from this condition, tho it is 

 greatly feared by some. A tew days' treat- 

 ment as above will fully cure. 



l>esli-oy<'<l I>riiiiilica<1<ii of the ear 



are not usually healed, and partial or com- 

 plete deafness sooner or later is certain to 

 follow. Most ot these cases occur during 

 childhood, from severe "colds" or diseases 

 like scarlet fever, whooping cough, measles, 

 etc. It is far easier to prevent it at such 

 times than to cure when the perforation 

 has actually occurred. Look out tor this 

 accident when your child begins to have a 

 " running ear " — that is when the mischief 

 is being done. Keep the ears well syringed 

 with warm water, and under no condition 

 fill the ear with cotton. This keeps the mat- 

 ter inside— the very thing that does the 

 greatest harm. Give it every chance to 

 come out. hence syringing is the best way 

 to cleanse it. Pulsatilla — a drop every hour 

 — is very good. But if the trouble continues 

 tor more than a few days, a skillful doctor 

 ought to see it. But cleanliness is ot great 

 importance. 



I>n<1ios had best write me regarding 

 their troubles personally, enclosing stamp 

 for reply. It is not best to explain some 

 tacts in public print. 



<'ross»i;j'es can be straightened with- 

 out difficulty or much pain by a skillful 

 surgeon, and it ought to be. for none ot us 

 wish to appear needlessly deformed. We 

 owe it to everybody to look as well as we 

 can. 



."\«-rvousiiess may be due to many 

 causes, too numerous to mention here, but 

 I will be glad to help any young people 

 with such friendly suggestions as may be 

 necessary. Dr. Peiro.
