Split Hickory Veliloles — The Split 

 Hiekory Veliiele advertisetnoul of the Ohio 

 Carriat;e Mfj;. Co., of Cineiiinati, is still run- 

 ning in our eoluiiiiis. We (U> not know how 

 inatiy of our readers have availed themselves 

 of the (generous otter of the Company to sell 

 one of their bn^j^ies on iiO days' free trial, to 

 be paitl for if approved, or to be returiietl 

 withont obli;^alioii or eost if not satisfactory. 

 Certainly, the proposition must appeal 

 Btronjily to them. The vehicles turned out 

 by this company have a wide use and popu- 

 larity, and the free trial plan of selling en- 

 ables the proposed purchaser to examine and 

 lest Ihoroutrhly at his leisure, and t« be there- 

 after guided siilely by his own judgment as 

 to whelluM' he shall purchase or not. Coupled 

 with the above is one other decided advantage, 

 that of buying direct from the factory and 

 saving the protils which necessarily go to 

 middlemen in making purchases through 

 dealers or local agencies. If the vehicle prob- 

 lem confronts any of our readers they would 

 do well to write for the Company's free illus- 

 trated catalog. I.ook up the advertisement, 

 and kindly mention this paper when writing.

"What Happened to Ted" 



BY ISABELLE HORTON, 



This is a true story of the poor and unfor- 

 tunate in city life. Miss Horton, the author, 

 is a deaconess whose experiences among the 

 city poverty stricken are both interesting and 

 sad. This particular short story — 60 pages, 

 5x654 inches, bound in paper cover — gives 

 somewhat of an insight into a little of the 

 bard lot of the poor. Price, postpaid, only 10 

 cents (stamps or silver.) Address,

A Celluloid Queen-Button is a verv 

 pretty thing for a bee-keeper or honey-seller 

 to wear on his coat>-Iapel. It often serves to in- 

 troduce the subject of honey, 

 and frequently leads to a 

 sale. 



Note.— One reader writes: 

 " I have every reason to be- 

 lieve that it would be a very 

 good idea forevery bee-keeper 

 to wear one [of the buttonsj 

 as it will cause people to ask 

 qnestions about the busy bee, and many a con- 

 versation thus started would wind up with the 

 Bale of more or less honey; at any rate it would 

 give the bee-keeper a superior opportunity to 

 enlighten many a person in regard to honey 

 and bees." 



The picture shown herewith Is a reprouuc- 

 flan of a motto queen-button that we arc fur- 

 nishing to bee-keepers. It has a pin on the 

 vmderside to fasten it.

 MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, June ".— The honey market is in a 

 wailinjf attitude; there is more comb on Hale 

 tlian for several Junes of recer.t years; moHt of 

 it is out of condition from one cause and an- 

 other, chieflv by havintf (grained; therefore a 

 very light yield this year would not help the 

 crop now on hand of last year. I'rlces are with- 

 out special chani^e in either comb or extracted 

 honey fr<jm those (riven last. Consumers are 

 not in the tnarket for other than small Iota, 

 lieeswax is very scarce and brink's lie upon ar- 

 rival. R. A.BoknettA Co. 



Cincinnati, March 6.— The market in ex- 

 tracted honey is (rood with prices lower. Am- 

 ber, for manufacturinff purposes, brin^rs from 

 5%(qitl^c: better jrrades irom7'a>Ht:. Fancy comb 

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

 any price. Beeswax stronif at 27ftt30c. 



The Fred W. Muth Co. 



Albany, N. Y., May 1.— Hooey market is dull. 

 Very little call now for any grade. Well cleaned 

 out of stock and season practically over. Some 

 comb honey is selling at 14'« !5c. Extracted, 

 6((i6Hc. Beeswax, ^ood demand, .^'If^.^lc. 



H. R. Wright. 



Dbtroit, Apr. 8.— Fancv white comb boner, 

 ISc; No. 1, 13(iul4c; dark and amber, n(ai2c. 

 Extracted, white, 6Ml§t7c; daik and amber 

 5(al6c. Beeswax, 29@30c. M. H. Hunt & Son. ' 



New York, May 10.— There is a limited de- 

 mand for comb honey and prices range as fol- 

 lows: Fancy white, 14c; No. 1, white, 13c: am- 

 ber, ll(S,12c; no buckwheat or dark on the 

 market and no more demand for any. Market 

 on extracted remains very inactive. Plenty of 

 supply with only fair demand. We quote: 

 white, S'Ai't?\c: light amber, 5q,s%c: southern, 

 in barrels, 50(aiS5c gallon. Beeswax Brm at from 

 30fe32c pound, according to rjualitv. 



HlLDRBTH & SEGBLKEW. 



Cincinnati, June 7.— There is hardly any 

 change in Ibe honey market. Comb is not mov- 

 ing- much, and whatever is left can be bought 

 at cut rates. Water -white is selling from 

 14("15c. Extracted is in fair demand and finds 

 steady sales, [a barrels, 5a5i^c; water-white 

 alfalfa from 6(4*1, >sc; white clover from oi<,f6 7c. 

 Beeswax is coming in more freely and sells" for 

 2^c. C. H. W. Wbbek. 



San Francisco, May 14.— White comb, 10® 

 125^ cents; amber, 7@10c; dark, 6to7 cents. Ei- 



tracted, white, 5@— ; light amber, AH® ; 



amber, 4(21 — . Beeswax, good to choice, light' 

 26(ai28c; dark, 24(a2Sc. 



Spot stocks are not of heavy volume.but there 

 is more offering than can be accommodated 

 with prompt custom at full current rates. Bus- 

 iness now doing is mostly of a light jobbing 

 character on local account.
