it In a pall of fresh water, and in about 

 tmi iiilnuloa returned to see how the fish 

 was getting along. I found it dead, with 

 its mouth and gills very much swollen up. 

 Upon looking into its mouth, what 

 should I find but a bee-stIng? The fish 

 must have eaten a bee which liad fallen 

 into the water, and the bee stung the fish, 

 which caused the fish's mouth and gills 

 to swell so much that the fish could not 

 breathe, and therefore drowned. As 

 this is the first time I ever heard of any- 

 thing of this kind, I thought It might in- 

 terest the Bee Journal readers.

In Healtln aact disease. 



By W. E Forest. M. D.. 13th Edition. Re-

 the greatest and best worli ever publisht

A <jiiiido to Ileallli. 



It makes the way from Weakness to 

 SlreiiKlli so plain that only those who 

 are past recovery (the very few) need to 

 be sick, and the well who will follow its 

 teachings c-sinnol be siclc. It is now 

 Id many families the only counsellor in 

 matters of health, saving the need of call- 

 ing a physician and all expenses for medi- 

 cines, as it teaches Hygiene and the use 

 of Nature's remedies, not :t druj^ 

 trealinent. 



All dironif IHseases 



are considered, and there is not a curable 

 disease that has not been helpt by some 

 of the " .^ ''■//' .I/(7//o(7.s " given here; even 

 those who have been pronounced Coii- 

 Niiniplive have been entirely cured.

There is a little honey selling now, and with 

 this month sales ouj^htto Increase. It is also 

 a ni-ood lime to ship comb, as wax is ttrouj<, 

 and resists jars in transit.

 b\ic.\ amber, 4 to 4!4c. ; dark, 3^4 to 4c. Bees- 

 wax, 24 to 24V4c. 



The weather so far this season has been too 

 warm for the tree movement of lioney, but 

 with the present prices on suifar we think 

 thei-e should be a ^ood demand tor extracted 

 honey at the above pi ices. One car of 2t,000 

 pounds sold since our last quotation on basis 

 ot above prices. Beeswax finds ready sale at 

 21c. lor prime, while choice stock IJrinjrs a 

 little more. 



Cleveland. Ohio, Auef. 31.— Fancy white, 

 13c.; No. 1. I2c ; fancy amber. 8 to 9e.; fancy 

 dark, 6 to 7c. Extracted, white, 6^4 to 7c.;

 13^i lo 14c.; No 1. 12u. Extracted, white, 

 6c. ; amber, 4 to 5c,; dark, 4c. Beeswax, 24c.

 advise moderate shipments till October and 

 November, when liberal amounts can be sold. 



Milwaukee, Wis., Sest. 2.— Fancy white, 

 12 to 13c.; No. 1.11 to 12c,; fancy amber, 8 

 to 10c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c.; amber. 4 

 to 5c. ; dark, 4 to 4^c. Beeswax, 25 to 27c. 



The receipts of new comb honey begin to 

 arrive, and of very nice quality. The ex- 

 tracted is improving In quality. There Is 

 danger of not allowing it to cure before ship 

 ping. The demand la only moderate, bu 

 equal to former seasons, as while fruit it 

 plenty honej' is not wanted so much. Later 

 there must be improved demand. 



New York, TX. Y., Sept. 7.— Fancy white,

 9 to 10c. Extracted. California, white, 5 to

 to 55c. a gallon. 



New crop of comb honey is arriving more 

 freely, and we have a good demand. Califor- 

 nia extracted is In fairly good demand, but all 

 other kinds are neglected. Beeswax is quiet 

 and easier.

 13c.; No, 1, 10 to 12c.: No. 1 amber, 9 lo 10c.; 

 No. 1 dark. 8 to 9c. 



New crop comb honey Is arriving quite free- 

 ly, but as yet there is very little demand. The

Seldom are there larger shipments outward 

 of this article than have been made the cur- 

 rent week. The iirillBh ship. Uajore, sailing 

 for London, lijok 1.020 case^i. The British 

 ship Howth, for same destination, carried 400 

 cases. At this rate not many weeks would be 

 required to clean up stocks ot extracted. 

 Shippers name 3i4c. for amber and 4c. for 

 waier while. On local account better prices 

 are realized. Comb hooey is moving slowly, 

 but as soon as wo have some cool weather 

 there will be more Inquiry. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Sep*:, 1.— Fancy white. 

 11 to 13c.; No l.HiolOc. Extracted, white. 5 

 to 6c.; amber, 4 to 5o. Beeswax, 25c. 



In an experience of eight years I have never 

 before seen the demand so good for comb 

 honey as it Is just now. Consumers claim 

 that honey is better this year than usual. 

 Extracted honey Is selling slowly, 



Boston, Mass., Sept 1.— Fancy white. 12 

 to 13c.; No. 1. 12c.; lancy amber. 10 to lie. 

 Extracted, white, 6(4 lo 7c.; amber, 6 to 6>4c 

 Beeswax, 27c. 



Honey is now being received in small lots 

 and meetinc a fair demand at above prices. 

 Demand wl'l naturally Increase with cooler 

 weather, and with the short Eastern crop, it 

 should clean up in good shape. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 7. — E.xtracted, 

 White. 5 lo 6c.; amber. 4 to ."Jc; dark, 314 to 

 4cc. Beeswax, 20 lo 25c.

Bee-Keepers' Photograph.— We 



have now on hand a limited number of ex- 

 cellent photographs of prominent bee-keep- 

 ers — a number of pictures on one card. The 

 likeness of 49 of them are shown on one of 

 the photographs, and 121 on the other. We 

 will send them, postpaid, for 30 cts. a card, 

 mailing from the 121 kind first; then after 

 they are all gone, we will send the 49 kind.

 " faces " for their money. Send orders to 

 the Bee Journal office.
