I uimM Honey For Sal6 1 



ALL IN 60-POUND TIN CANS. 



Alfalfa ^ 

 Honey JV 



This is the famous 

 White Extracted 

 Honev gathered in 

 the great Alfalfa 

 regions of the Ceai- 

 ral West. It is a 

 splendid honey, and 

 nearly everybody 

 who cares to eat 

 honey at all can't 

 get enough of the 

 Alfalfa extracted. 



Basswood 

 Honey JTiL^ 



This is the well- 

 kuofva ligfht-colored 

 hoaey g-athered from 

 the rich, uectar- 

 ladeu basswood bios- 

 soms. It has a 

 stronger flavor than 

 Alfalfa, and is pre- 

 ferred by those who 

 like a distinct flavor 

 in their honey. 



K Prices of Alfalfa or Basswood Honey: ^ 



iS A sample of either, bv mail, 10 cents, to pay for package and post- g; 



■^ age By freight— two or more 60-pound cans of Alfalfa, 7j4 cents per ^.

^ Order the Above Honey and then Sell It. ^ 



^ We would suggest that those bee-keepers who did not produce ^ 



^ enough honey for their home demand this year, just order some of the ^^■ 



■^ above, and sell it. And others, who want to earn some money, can get ^ 



;^ this honey and work up a demand for it almost anywhere. ^

The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



Your Name and Address on one side— Three Bees on the other side. 



HOWARD M. MELBEE, 



HONEYVILLE, O. 



(This Cot is the i'OLi, Size of the Knife.) 



Your Name on the Knife.— When ordering, be sure to say just what name and 

 address you wish put do the Knile. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty The novelty lies In the handle. It is 

 made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as glass. Un- 

 derneath the celluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the name and residence of 

 the subscriber, and on the other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as 

 shown here. 



The Material entering into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; 

 the blades are hand-forged out of the very finest English razor-steel, and we war- 

 rant every blade. The bolsters are made of German silver, and will never rust or 

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire; the linings are plate brass; 

 the back springs of Sheflield spring-steel, and the finish of the handle as described 

 above. It will last a last-time, with proper usage. ^__ 



Why Own the Novelty Knife ? In case a good knife is lost, the chances are the 

 owner will never recover it; but if the " Novelty " is lost, having name and address 

 of owner, the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and ad- ,„ ^^ , , 

 dress would destroy the knife. If traveling, and you meet with a.serious accident, and are so for. 

 tunate as to have one of the "Novelties," your Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and 10 

 case of death, your relati-ses will at once be notified of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present! What more lasting memento could a mother 

 give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sis*-' '" - *"■"' 



trance without rising the second time. Many 

 bees miss the alighting-board and have to rest 

 before they are able to take wing the second 

 time. This matter of having hives near the 

 ground is a very important one, from the fact 

 that many queens, in coming out with the 

 new swarms, fall to the ground, disaljled in 

 some way. so they are unable to rise with the 

 swarm with which they must get back into 

 the hiye again. Hence, a hive near the • 

 ground has a big advantage in this matter 

 alone. 



It is almost useless to inform a beginner in 

 bee-keeping that it is quite an important mat- 

 ter to have his hives, section-ljoxes. frames 

 and honey-supers all in readiness for the bees 

 long before they are needed, at least before 

 the bees get to swarming or the honey harvest 

 comes on. From many years' experience in 

 this line of work I lind that the winter season 

 is the proper time, and the most convenient, 

 to do this worli. If you haven't a good, 

 warm place to work, and the proper tools to 

 work with, you can not be a successful bee- 

 keeper. 



It you have new hives to make they should 

 all he made, painted, and staclied away in 

 some dry place. Or it you have a lot of old 

 ones, tit ihem up and make ail one size, and 

 repaint them. I would not tfy new hives if 

 I had a lot of old ones on hand to be fixed up. 

 Supers should be made and filled with sec- 

 tions, l3ut don't forget to put in separators if 

 yon want nice, straight comb honey: they 

 are always needed. J. M. YouSG.

 the naine of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cu/ gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

 this'beautiful knife, as the " Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated.

Facilities for Moving Bees. 



Referring to the remarks of Afterthinker 

 Hasty, on page 74.5, in which he comments on 

 Mr. Atchley's plan of moving bees, the South- 

 land Queen says: 



We do not think that Mr. Hasty fairly un- 

 derstood the matter he had under considera- 

 tion when he wrote the above. In the first 

 place, the shipping or moving eases are not so 

 frail as he imagines, for the same have been 

 used several years to transport colonies of 

 Ijees a distance of about .500 miles; eases 

 being sent up by express, and bees coming 

 back by express also, and those eases are good 

 for several years yet. We make these cases 

 light, weighing but little over five pounds 

 each, yet strong and well ventilated, and bees
