tluis be killed out. drcnt qiinntiUes can lie 

 destroyed with cnaloil, tire, l)t>ilinn w:itcr, or 

 with pails of sweetened water or wJtli poistincl 

 honey or sugar. Wlicn it is found impossitilr 

 to keep them down by the above nictliods, the 

 bees can lie protected by uslnj.; three sni.ill 

 trestles, about 7 feet apart. 'I.ike two Imi^ 

 2x4 scantlings, brace them, then place as many 

 hives as the stand will hold; then jiaint a two- 

 inch ring around the trestle hgs with a mix 

 ture of two-thirds of lard I0 one-third of 

 coal-tar. J f it dries too quickly arid a littli! 

 more lard. The ants will not go over it if it is 

 kept soft and stieky ; apply it from about the 

 first of April until the middle of June, as the 

 ants will not be troublesome after that date, 

 as a rule. 



The honey and irrigating water prospects 

 for the coming season appear to be bright in 

 some portions of the State; but in many parts 

 of the State at present the indications arc not 

 flattering. There is very little snow in the 

 hills; however, it is not too late for snow.

Tip=Top Glass Honey= Jars 



The picture shown 

 herewith represents the 

 best one-pound jar for 

 honey that we linow of. 

 It is made of the clear- 

 est flint glass, and when 

 filled with honey, and a 

 neat label attached, it 

 malces as handsome a 

 package as can be im- 

 agined. Its glass top 

 sets on a flat rubber 

 ring, and is held in 

 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 honey- 

 sellers. 



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

 at these prices : One gross, $5.00 ; two gross, 

 $4.7.5 a gross; five or more gross $4.50 per 

 gross. 



If you try them once you will likely use no 

 other kind" of top or sealing arrangement for 

 honey-jars.

Chicaoo, lirli. T. — Ilupe of I ebruary brini^ioff 

 a i^ood demand for honey i» ho far diHappoint- 

 \n)t. The weather Ih extremely cold, yet lhi» 

 Kbould not curtail the demand, for honey in a 

 cold-wcalber luxury, and to niosl people more 

 invitinff when colcf than when it iH hoi. i*er- 

 hapH one of the causeH [for there are manjj was 

 the boldinif back of the crop by producers in 

 the early autumn, on the BuppoHition that the 

 yield wan Vi^hx. takiDff the country aH a whole; 

 the renuU waH consumerH reanoned that it wan 

 ^oiuff to be Hcarce and Hubntituted other thin^H 

 in lieu thereof. Comb is freely offered with 

 prices weak at \A(f^\Sc for choice to fancy; 

 13fryl4c for No. 1; U'" 12c for amber and buck- 

 wheat. Kxtracted slow at former prices. Hees- 

 wax strontf at 29c. R. A, Burnett A Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Feb. 7.— Honey market firm 

 for all grades of comb honey, of which there it* 

 a very lij^hl stock here. White comb is fielling^ 

 at l.^fa)l6c: No 2, 14f«>15c; buckwheat and amber, 

 13'" 14c. Kxtracted slow at 6C^7c for white; but 

 buckwheat extracted is selling' best at 6 cents. 

 Beeswax scarce. 2H(iy30c. H. R, Wrioht. 



Cincinnati, Feb. 7.— The honey market has 

 been rather dull this year. Comb honey is sell- 

 ing fairly, and brings as follows: White clover, 

 15c; lower g-rades from \2W<^\Ac. Extracted 

 honey sells very slow, the lower g-rades brinsf- 

 injr SCo^Oc, and fancy, t*54(^THc. Beeswax, 2"<^30c. 

 C. H. W. Wbbbr, 



Boston, Jan. 20.— Strictly fancy comb honey 

 in cartons, 15'/^c: A No. 1, I'Sc; No. 1, 14^c; very 

 little No. 2 to offer; stock nominally runniug 

 No. 1 and A No. 1. Extracted, li^rht amber, 

 ~%c'. amber, 7c; Florida honey. 6H'a'7c. 



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 larger demand than we at this mo- 

 ment anticipate. Blake, Scott & I<bb. 



New York, Feb. 8.— There has been very lit- 

 tle movement of late in comb honey, and while 

 there is no buckwheat on the market to amount 

 to anything, there is sufficient quantity of the 

 different grades of white honey. The demand 

 having been slow of late, prices have had a 

 downward tendency and are likely to remain 

 so during the spring. 



We quote: Fancy white, 14c, and exception- 

 ally fine stock at perhaps 15c; No. 1 white at 

 13c; amber at ll@12c. Extracted remains dull 

 at unchanged prices. Arrivals of late are quite 

 plentiful of all the different grades. Beeswax 

 firm at 28@28i^c. Hildrbth & Sboblkbh. 



San Francisco, Jan. 22.— White comb, llt^ 

 1254 cents; amber, 8@10c; dark, 6@7 cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5^@6c; light amber, 4H'2>5c; 

 amber, 4@ — . Beeswax, good to choice, light, 

 26@28c; dark, 24@25c. 



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.

Notice— On another page of this issue of our 

 paper will be found the advertisement of the 

 Watkins Medical Company, of Winona, Minn. 

 These people are the sole owners and manu- 

 facturers of the famous Watkins Remedies. 

 These remedies are not new and untried prepa- 

 rations, for they have been upon the market 

 and in daily use over a very large section of the 

 country for the past 34 years. We do not doubt 

 but that many of our readers are perfectly fa- 

 miliar with and are now using the Watkins 

 Remedies. They have stood the most rigid test 

 of all these years and are more popular with 

 the people to day than ever before. This could 

 not be true but for the fact that the remedies 

 are made upon honor and sold on their merits. 

 The responsibility of the Watkins Medical 

 Company is entirely bevond question. Ask 

 your banker, any reputable business man, or 

 refer to Bradstreet and Dun's Commercial Re- 

 ports. Write them for a free copy of their Home 

 Doctor and Cook Book. This will serve to ac- 

 quaint you with these people and gives at the 

 same time valuable information, weather fore- 

 casts, cooking recipes, etc. Address the J. R. 

 Watkins Medical Co.. 10 Liberty St., Winona, 

 Minn., and please mention this journal.
