barn with the plow. When she pot to the 

 barn-door the plow cauRht in the sill, and the 

 horse broke away. When I K"t home the 

 horse was in the barn, antl my head wan 

 covered with dead bees, as I Rad rubbed it 

 all the way home. 1 lirst took a pail of the 

 coldest water 1 could net, and bathed my face 

 and head. I went and served llie horse the 

 same way after I cot home. There were 

 three stings taken from over one eye. My 

 head was very sore for days. Geo. Hodges.

Seem to be Wintering Well. 



My bees seem to be wintering well so far. 



I put them into the cellar about Noy. 20. 1 

 have 120 colonies. 



This has been a poor year for honey, bass- 

 wood being the main crop. Sam Severson. 



Clark Co., Wis.. Dec. _■(>. 



Results of the First Season. 



My bees are wintering: ot\ the '^umnier stands 

 in double walled cases with chalt cu.^hions on 

 top of the hives, with plenty of honey. 



I started last spring with two colonies in 

 box-hives that I boiiglit; they cast four large 

 swarms, and one of tlie swarms produced 80 

 pounds of honey, another 41 pounds, and the 

 other two later filled up their hives well for 

 winter. V. McBride.

No Fall Honey. 



I had no fall surplus honey this year; white 

 clover was cut short by the drouth, and we 

 had only about half a crop of it. Bees are do- 

 ing nicely in their winter quarters. They were 

 out prospecting a few days ago. T'hey had 

 gathered plenty for winter stores.

It Pays to Read. 



I cannot dispense with the old stand-by, 

 so I renew my subscription. I had the prom- 

 ise of two new names, and I find at the last 

 minute they do not think they will need it. 

 Well, the old adage says, "Where ignorance 

 is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." My old Jour- 

 nal will have to go the rounds of the neigh- 

 borhood as usual, I suppose. But I will make 

 them see the need of it another season, if 

 I have success with my bees. They do not 

 believe that what / read materially aids my 

 success in securing large yields. It is "all in 

 the location." you know. John W. Lyell.

 very li^ht stock is on hand. White, fancy, 15c;

 Kxtracted, white grades slow sale, and pric«

Our market continues somewhat dull in the 

 demand for honey, while stocks are ample for 

 the balance of the season, unless there should 

 be a much larf^er demand than we at this mo- 

 ment anticipate. Blake, Scott & Lbb. 



New York. Jan. Q.^Comb honey continues in 

 g-ood demand with supplies pretty well ex- 

 hausted, and we quote: Fancy white, 15c; No.

Market continues quiet, but is tolerably firm, 

 particularly for choice to select. Spot stocks 

 are of rather small volume, and there are no ev- 

 idences of much being left in the interior. 

 There is some probability of prices hardening 

 slightly during the next few months, particu- 

 larly if the spring trade proves to be of good 

 average proportions.

Tip=Top Glass Honey=Jars 



The picture shown 

 herewith represents the 

 best one-pound jar for 

 honey that we know of. 

 It is made of the clear- 

 est Hint glass, and when 

 tilled with hone.v, and a 

 neat label attached, it 

 makes as handsome a 

 package as can be im- 

 agined. Its glass top 

 sets on a flat rubber 

 ring, and is held ia 

 place by a flat steel 

 spring across the top as 

 shown in the picture. It 

 is practically air-tight, 

 thus permitting no leak, 



which is an important thing with houey- 



sellers. 

 We can furnish these jars, f.o.b. Chicago, 



at these prices : One gross, ?S. 00; two gross, 



?4.r5 a gross; five or more gross §4.50 per 



gross. 

 If you tr}* thetn once you will likely use no 



other kind of top or sealing arrangement for 



honey-jars.
