such combs was any more liable to gran- 

 ulate or to ferment than when only 

 starters were used ; but my experience 

 is limited, and " I don't know." 3. If 

 the comb is clean and white I would 

 leave the cells full depth. 



J. A. Green — I have not used leveled- 

 down combs to any extent; but have 

 experimented very fully with those left 

 full depth, and have often experienced 

 the defects mentioned, as well as some 

 others. I do not believe it pays to use 

 such combs, except perhaps two or three 

 in each super at the beginning of the 

 season to get the bees started. 



Wm. MoEvoy — 1. My bees always filled 

 and finisht the sections sooner when 

 furnisht with leveled-down combs. But 

 I always liked the flavor of the comb 

 honey a little the best where the bees 

 made the new combs and finisht them 

 the same summer. 2. No, not if they 

 have been cleaned out by the bees some 

 time before using them. 3. About % of

THENEWMETHOD 



Ira Mealtb aQci Disease. 



By W. E Forest. M. D.. 12th Edition, Re- 

 vised, Illustrated, and Enlarged. This is 

 the greatest and best work ever publisht 

 as aHoME Phtsician. and as 



A <j<iiide to Health. 



It makes the way from Weakness to 

 i^trengtli so plain that only those who 

 are past recovery (the very few) need to 

 be sick, and the well who will follow its 

 teachings cannot be sick. It is now 

 in 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 a drug^ 

 treatment. 



All Cbronic I)i»teases 



are considered, and there is not a curable 

 disease that has not been belpt by some 

 of the " ^Vf-w ,l/e^Au(/.s " given here; even 

 those who have been pronounced Con- 

 snniptive have been entirely cured.

HONEY and BEESWAX 



91AKKEX <tlJO'rAXIO.^S. 



Chicago, 111., Nov. 8.— Fancv white 11 to 

 I'Jc. No. 1, lOc. ; liiucy amber. 8 toOc. : No. 1, 

 7.: fancy dark. 7 to 8c.; No 1 and inl.xed. 7c. 

 Kxtriicted. while, h toOc; amber. 4Hto5c.; 

 dark, 3H to 4c. Beeswax, 26 to 'J7c. 



All of these (iradcs vary In quality and style 

 of package, which makes It dlflicull to tell 

 jusi what acfrtain colored honey will brlntr 

 without knowing tl.ivor and body thereof. 

 Sales are of small amounts, and supply abun- 

 dant. Beeswax is wauled at price quoted. 



San Francisco, Calif., Oct. 27.— White 

 comb, l-lbs.. "iV, to 9V4e ; amber. 4 to 6c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 4!4 to 45ic.; light amber. 3^ 

 to '■'>\c.: daik tule. Hi to 1\i,c. Beeswax, 

 fair to choice, 22 to 24c. 



There Is a tolerably Arm market for choice 

 to select water white, both comb and ex- 

 tracted, with not much of the same offering. 

 In a small way on local account higher rates 

 than are quotable are realized. l>ark grades 

 fail to receive any special attention, despite 

 the fact that such are obtainable at low fig- 

 ures. There Is no lack of demand for bees- 

 wax, and not much otfering. At the same 

 lime, wholesale buyers refuse to operate at 

 any advance on previous rates. 



Fhlladelphia, Pa., ITov. 13.— Fancy white, 

 13 to 14c ; No 1. ]2e.; fancy amber. lOc; 

 No. 1. 9c.; No. 1 dark. 8c. Extracted, white. 

 5 to 5 Vic; amber, 5c. ; dark. 4 to 4^c. Bees- 

 wax. 27c. 



Honey is arriving very freely; market Is a 

 Utile off. Beeswax Is In good demand. 



Buffalo, N. T., Hov. 5.— Fancy white Is 

 movlLfr briskly at lie. stray sales at 12c., 

 and good to choice stock mostly at 10c. ; buck- 

 wheat and dark honey ranges from 8 to 6c.. 

 as to actual quality. The demand is excellent 

 for all grades of honey. Extracted ranges 

 from 6 to 4c., with moderate sales. Beeswax 

 is very scarce, and strictly pure sells quickly 

 at 27" to 28c.; adulterated, etc., proportion- 

 ately lower. 



Now Is the lime to market honey, rather 

 than wait longer. 



Albany, N. T., Nov. 8.— Fancy white, 13c. ; 

 No. 1. 12 to 12 Vic; fancy amber. 9 to 10c. ; No. 

 1 , 8 to 9c ; fancy dark. 8 to 8i4c. : No.l. 7^ to 

 8c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c. ; amber, 4>4 to 

 oc; dark. 4 to 4i4c. 



Our honey market is active and stock mov- 

 ing off rapidly at quotations. Fancy white 

 comb is scarce. 



St. I>oais, Ho., Nov. 8.— Fancy white, 11 



tol2o. ; amber. 9 to 10c. ; dark, 7 to 8c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, oi^toec.; light amber. 4V4 to 

 3c.; amber, 4 io4!4c. Beeswax, prime, 24 to 

 24Kc. 



Remand is rather light for this season of 

 the year. 



Boston, Mass., (7ov 8.— Fancy white, in 

 cartons. 13c.; No. 1. 11 to 12c.; fancy amber. 

 10c. Ex-tracted. white, 6 to7c. ; amber. 5 to 

 3i4c. Beeswax, 28c. 



No. 1 and fancy honey has sold well during 

 the past 10 days, but off grades and light 

 weight IS golna- slowly. Beeswax Is In good 

 demand and but little here. 



Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 8.— Fancy white, 

 11 to 12c. ; No. 1. 10 to lie; fancy amber, 10c. 

 No. 19 10 10c. ; fancy dark. 9c.; No. 1, 8. Ex- 

 tracted, white. oVi to 6c.; amber. 5 to 5>4c.: 

 dark, 4to4>4c Beeswax. 22 to 25c. 



Receipts of comb honey are large; ex- 

 tracted Is light. 



Minneapolis, Minn., N v. 8.— Fancy white, 

 10^ to 12c.; No 1,0 to lOc; fancy amber, 9 

 to lOc; No. 1. 9c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c.; 

 amber. 4 to 5c. 



Demand Is good, prices are firm, and supply 

 only moderate— best time so far this season to 

 ship. 



New York, N. Y.,Nov. 8.— Fancy white. 

 12c.; No. 1. 10 to lie ; fancy amber, 9 to 

 BVic; No. 1.9c.; fancy dark, 8>4c ; No. 1, 8c. 

 Extracted, white. 5 to aVi(i.\ amber, 4^ to 5c. ; 

 dark, 4c. Beeswax, 26 to 27c. 



Our market does not show much activity 

 and comb honey Is moving oft rather slowly. 

 "The receipts are large and the slock Is accu- 

 mulating. While choice grades of white arc 

 likely to find sale at present quotations, 

 prices on off grades and buckwheat will have 

 to be shaded in round lots. Southern in bar- 

 rels Is in good demand at 50c. a gallon, for 

 average grade. 



Cleveland, Obio, Nov. 9.— Fancy white. 

 12 to 13c.: No. 1, 11 to I2c.; fancy amber. 9 

 to 10c. ; No. 1. 8 to 9c. ; fancy dark. 7 to 8c. 

 Extracted, white, 6V4c.; amber. h% to 6c. 

 Beeswax. 28c. 



Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 8.— Fancy white, 

 12 to l:Jc. ; No. 1,11 to 12c.; fancy amber, 9 

 to 10c; No. 1,8 to 9c. Extracted, while, ,tS4 

 to 6c.; amber. 4^ to 5Hc.; dark, 4 to 4^c. 

 Beeswax, 25- to 27c. 



The market Is in good condition. Receipts 

 are liberal, demand lair, and values fairly 

 sustained on finest grades of honey, both 

 comb and extracted. We are looking for an 

 Increased consumption of honey this season, 

 as the cost is not high, and Is an une(iualled 

 substitute for butter to any or all who cannot 

 afford to buy the best butter. 



Detroit, Mich., Nov. 9.— Fancy white. 11 

 to 12c.; No. 1.10 to lie; fancy amber, 9 to 

 lOc; No. 1, 8 to Oc: fancy dark. 7 to 8c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, :t to 6c. : amber. 4 to 5c. Bees- 

 wax, 25 to 26c. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Nov, 8.— Fancy white. 

 11 to l:Jc.; No 1. 9 to lOc. ; fancy amber, 9 to 

 10c. Extracted, white. 5 to 6c. Beeswax, 25c. 



Demand for fancy while comb honey and 

 fancy white extracted is exceptionally good, 

 while there is almost no demand for dark or 

 amber comb or extracted honey. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 6.— Fancy white, 

 11 to 13c.; No. 1, 10 to 12c.; No. 1 amber, 8 

 to 10c. ; No. 1 dark, 7 to 8c. Extracted, 

 while. 5 to 6c.; amber. 4to 5c.; dark, 3!< to 

 4c. Beeswax, 22 to 25c.

 honey, with a good supply, while beeswax Is 

 In good demand, with a fair supply.
