 OETS THE BEES. 



upon the bees ; but, of course, it is best to 

 wait until the honey is thick. It is hard to 

 malce people believe that any new way is bet- 

 ter than their way; but as my former good 

 seed sown brought forth some good results, 

 I sow again, and again watch the results. 

 Whether bee-keepers use the Rambler's 

 jouneer or not, I hope the bee-keepers will 

 discard the old, obsolete use of a brush. 

 Bees can be shaken off the combs clean 

 enough. In Central California but few 

 brushes are used. 



I liave great hopes for the shallow extract- 

 ing-super. Mr. Davenport says the jouncing 

 principle is worth $50 a year to him, even 

 with the standard frames. Now, I would give 

 S50 for a method that will enable me to ex- 

 tract a whole shallow super without removing 

 the frames. Can it ever he done? — Rambler, 

 in Gleanings in Bee-Culture. 



Keeping a Record. 



Considerable has been written in the past 

 on the subject of keeping records of each col- 

 ony of bees. Dr. Miller and Roots have had 

 several arguments in which the Doctor was in 

 favor of a book record and the Roots preferred 

 the little .slates, but years of experience have 

 taught me that they do not completely answer 

 the purpose for which they are intended. By

MAKKBT QUOTATIONS. 



Chicaoo, Feb. 18.— There has been a decline 

 in the market on corab honey of one cent [ler 

 pound since the month came in. lie.t i^rad.H of 

 white now hIow at 14c; 8aIeH chiefly at 13Jic 

 with Borne Western choice at 13c; no buckwheat 

 comb offered, and other dark tirades are meet- 

 ing with little attention, priced rantrinif from 

 ')tol2c. Kxtracled is steady, uhite, -)4"i,7c, ac- 

 cordin^r to fiuality and what it is ifatbered from; 

 amber, S'/imS^c; off grades at 5c. lieenwax 

 wanted at JOc. R. A. Burhbtt & Co. 



Albany, N. Y., Feb. 21.— Our market has not 

 been so empty of comb honey in a lonjf time. 

 Fancy white comb, l.SftpK.c; No. 1, l.fc; dark 

 and buckwheat, 13@14c. Extracted, buckwheat. 

 be. Beeswax, 30c. H. R. Wright. 



Cincinnati, Feb. 7.— The honey market has 

 been rather dull this year. Comb honey is sell- 

 ing fairly, and brings as follows: Whiteclover, 

 15c; lower grades from UHia-Uc. Extracted 

 honey sells very slow, the lower grades bring- 

 ing S(3»6c,and fancy, 65i(g,754c. Beeswax. ZS(a30c. 

 C. H. W. Wbbbr. 



Boston, Jan. 20,— Strictly lancy comb honey 

 in cartons, ISS^c: A No. 1, 15c; No. 1, 14>4c; very 

 little No. 2 to offer; stock nominally running 

 No. 1 and A No. 1. Extracted, light amber, 

 7Hc; amber, 7c; Florida honey, 6Hfe7c. 



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 dk L>bb. 



New York, Feb. S.— 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 ISc; No. 1 white at 

 13c; amber at ll(ai2c. Extracted remains dull 

 at unchanged prices. Arrivals of late are quite 

 plentiful of all the different grades. Beeswax 

 firm at 28@28>^c. Hildreth & Skoelken. 



San Francisco, Feb. 12.— White comb, 11® 

 12>^ cents; amber, 8@10c; dark, 6@7 cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, SMl®6c; light amber, 4X®5c: 

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

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



Considering the limited quantities offering 

 there is a fair trade in progress, both for ship- 

 ment and local account. Quotable values are 

 without change, but market is moderately firm 

 at the prevailing figures.

i Astonished the Editor. 



We advertised our Rural Free Delivery 

 Box iu the "Country Gentleman ^ of Al- 

 bany, N. Y. They ordered a box "for use 

 in the office." Here 

 is what they say 

 of it: 



"We had dO idea, 

 till we examined 

 for ourselves, of 

 the immense i 

 turn that this com- 

 pany makes for 

 the petty sum ihey 

 charf;re,f-.OO.trans- 

 portation prepaid. 

 There is positively noexcu 

 for usiug^ anything- else on 

 rural route." 



Ot course we don't want i 

 the business, but there is 

 "■ room for a few more." Write us.
