Bees Wintered Well. 



I ImvB liecn interested in the reports pnli- 

 lished in the Aincriean Bee .loiirnal. I pill 4S 

 colonies in last fall, am! took out 4S all ri^'ht 

 this sprint;. ' hie year ut'u I to*)'' O"' -^ colo- 

 nies. I kept them from swarmin!; all I could 

 liy cuttintr out drone-comb, or cutting the 

 heads olT. I fed two sacks of sugar in April 

 and May, and (;ot tlie bees ready for business 

 when clover came into bloom. I (jot 'i\M 

 pounds, mostly comb honey, which I sold at 

 home at V,i cents per pound. 



I had no ventilation to the bee-cellar, only 

 as I miffht open the door from the rest of the 

 cellar where I kept the vegetables, but I 

 found the bees got quite uneasy, and I took 

 them outa week earlier than nsnal this year.

Light as a 

 Feather. 



This is a grand 

 motto for the 

 cook and the 

 bakiag powder 

 niad, but Rural 

 Mail Boxes are a 

 different proposi- 

 tion. You donH 

 ant them too easily di- 

 gested. Father Time 

 makes short work of ihe 

 light ones, but our "Un- 

 cle Sam's Favorite "' is 

 too heavy for him. However, " his loss is 

 our gain." See V

Latter Day Merchandising has many houses 

 in the mail order business, "selling- direct to the 

 consumer," and "saving agent's profits." A 

 very large percent of these are themselves 

 taking the agent's profits, having themselves 

 received their goods at second and third hands. 

 Among this smaller class, who in truth and in 

 fact manufacture their own goods and sell di- 

 rectly from the factory to the consumer, is the 

 famous old Elkhart Carriage and Harness Mfg. 

 Co., of Elkhart, Ind. These people handle only 

 goods of their own manufacture, and they have 

 no jobbers, agents, or middlemen. Everything 

 you purchase from them comes directly from 

 their factories. There is no doubt about agent's 

 commissions being avoided in their case. The 

 mammoth proportion to which their business 

 has grown proves that the people realize that 

 there is a great saving to them in dealingdirect 

 with this firm. Every kind of light vehicle and 

 harness is in their line. They publish a large 

 illustrated catalog which our readers should 

 have. They will be pleased to mail it to any 

 one writing for it. Please mention the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal when asking for the catalog.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Apr. 18.— Theseanon in whicbcomb 

 hodej sells prior to the neft crop ih now practi- 

 cally at an end; therefore pricen are more or 

 lesH irrefftilar, as some sections in a case will b« 

 grained more or less and others free. The best 

 lots of basswood and clover sell at \¥qf\5c\ oth«'r 

 kinds of white at UXa/13c: ambers are not in 

 heavy supply and sell at ')'" 12c. Extracted is 

 dull at .^^'''tjjic for white, and £'" f.c for amber, 

 dependidK upon flavor and other 'lualiiies. 

 liecswa.i scarce at ilc. R. A. Bdrnbtt A Co. 



Cincinnati, March 6.— The market in ex- 

 tracted honey is (food with prices lower. Am- 

 ber, for manufacturing purposes, brings from 

 iVtC<^biic\ better ({fades from7"i.Sc. Fancy comb 

 honey sells at 16c; lower grades hard to sell at 

 any price. Beeswax strong at 27&i30c. 



The Fred W. Mhth Co. 



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

 been so empty of comb honey in a lon^ lime. 

 Fancy white comb, ISfiJloc; No. 1, 15c; dark 

 and buckwheat, 13fel4c. Extracted, buckwheat, 

 6c. Beeswax, 30c. H. K. Wriout. 



Boston, March 20.— The demand for comb 

 honey remains pood. Market ran^res as fol- 

 lows: Fancy white, in cartons, 15(atl6c; A No. 

 1, 14@15c: No. 1, 13@14c; honey in g-lass-front 

 cases about one cent less. Extracted, Califor- 

 nia light amber, "(oiVJ^c: Florida honev, in bar- 

 rels, 0(ai6)4c. Blake, Scott* Lrb. 



Detroit, Apr. 8.— Fancy white comb honey, 

 ISc; No. 1, 13®14c; dark and amber, Il(ai2c; 

 Extracted, while, 654@Tc: daik and amber, 

 5(gl6c. Beeswax, 2'i@30c. M. H. Hunt & Son. 



Cincinnati, Apr. 11.— Stock of comb honey 

 here is larger than it ou(f ht to be at this time of 

 the year, and this is why it is offered for very 

 low figures. Water-whiie is sold at I4(a(l4uc 

 and hard to obtain; for extra fancv, 15c. 



Extracted finds a steady sale, and amber is 

 sold in barrel lots for S(a,5^c; water-whits al- 

 talfa sells from b(ii6}ic, and white clover brings 

 from ti\i(gslc. Beeswax scarce at 30c. 



C. H. W. Weber. 



New York, Apr. 7.— Comb honev. last year's 

 crop, practically cleaned up. but as we wrote a 

 little while ago we had received new crop from 

 Cuba, and are now receiving new crop from the 

 South. Demand is fair at 14c for fancy white 

 13c for No.l, 12c for No.2, and 10@llc for amber! 



Extracted: The market is decidedly dull. 

 Very little demand, with large stocks on hand, 

 some of which no doubt will have to be carried 

 over, and indications point to a further decline 

 in prices, ^ye quote: White, 6c: light amber, 

 S'lic; amber, Sc; Southern, 5iii(ajS)<c per gallon 

 according to quality. Even these prices are 

 shaded in car lots. Beeswax, scarce and firm 



at 29(5 30c. HlLDRETH &. SEOELKBK. 



Buffalo, March 2S.— Buffalo is verv quiet on 

 honey, except very low grades at verv low pri- 

 ces. We quote extra fancy, 4c; No. i, 12'a'13c* 

 other grades, 8@10c. Extracted, S(ai6c. Bees- 

 wax scarce; fancy, 28@30c; dark, 22@25c. 



Batterson & Co, 



San Francisco, Apr. o.— White comb, 10® 

 125i cents; amber, 7@10c; dark, b@l cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5(9—; light amber, 4K(a — ; 

 amber, 4(S — . Beeswax, good to choice, light. 

 26@'2Sc; dark, 24(a25c. 



Advices from the interior of this State indi- 

 cate a big yield of honey this year and an early 

 season. While quotable values remain in about 

 the same position as last noted, the market can- 

 not be termed firm. Buyers are operating 

 lightly, anticipating easier values when new- 

 crop begins to arrive freely.
