 paper, took as deep an interest in the alTair 

 as he <liil, for, by his writini; the article, of 

 which I send you a copy, he has caused the 

 people to take more interest in bees and 

 honey. I am positive that it has helped the 

 cause a (irreat deal. Ciias. Mautin.

 hardly of sullicient interest to our readers to

Wet and Cool Weather. 



I have been exceedingly bu,«y this season 

 looking after lOU colonies, spring eount, and 

 doing carpenter work. I get the money from 

 the latter, and the experience from the former. 



It has been extremely wet and pretty cool. 

 We had a good honey-flow for about a week 

 the first part of .July, but the Ijees have been 

 getting only enough to keep up brood-rearing 

 since. We still hope for winter stores, but 

 may not get them. 



I have been rearing queens since 1891. and 

 never had as poor luck ; I could not induce 

 good work in upper stories, after having fed 

 for weeks. I can get larger cells, and I think 

 better (|ueens, Ijy using queenless bees. I 

 have been a close observer, and have seen a 

 good many things that look strange— drones 

 with white heads, drone head, thorax and 

 wings with mn-kcr bixlie.s and tili/iyn-s. Had a 

 lot of the latter caught to send in last fall, 

 but did not. I have studied the tent-mating 

 problem for over 10 years, but have not tried 

 it yet ; I may some time. 



I had expected to go to Denver, but the 

 honey will not pay the bill. 



I will try to give a full report later, it I can 

 find the time. I dehorn cattle during the 

 winter, taking the horns from 265? last sea- 

 son, and one season from 30.^6. It is surer 

 pay than bee-keeping, but harder work.

Cincinnati, Aug. 30. -The demand for comb 

 honey at present is very good; all shipments 

 are sold r|uick at IStolbc for No. 1 and fancy 

 \\e advise shipping while demand is good and 

 before the western carloads are here. In three 

 weeks from now carloads will arrive, then de- 

 mand IS satisfied, sales harder to make, and 

 prices demoralized. E.vtracted honey is sellinir 

 as fast as It arrives, at the following prices: 

 Amber and Southern in barrels, ai iS^&fcUc ac- 

 cording to the quality. White clover, 7U&«c 

 Beeswax is scarce at .TOc. 



The Fred W. Mcth Co. 



Albant, N. Y., Aug. 23.-The demand for 

 honey is improving with the unusual cool 

 weather, the summer resorters returning home 

 hungry. We quote: Extra white comb, lVai6c- 

 medium, 14@l5c. No other grades coming yet 



We want to caution shippers against shio- 

 ping by express, as it arrives almost invariably 

 broken. E.tpress companies are stamping the 

 cases Received at owner's risk," which seems 

 to cause their employes to " play ball " with it. 

 t reight handlers are flower, more careful, and 

 less broken, and much cheaper. We advise 

 sending by freight only. 6. R. Weight. 



New York, Aug. Il.-New crop comb honey 

 from New "i orkand Pennsylvania is beginning 

 to arrive m limited quantities. There is a good 

 demand for fancy white at 14c, and No 1 at 13c 

 and exceptionally fine lots will possibly bring

 While the market is firm throughout, current 

 values are being better sustained on comb than 

 on extracted, for the reason that the latter has

 All the comb honey offering will be reqnired 

 locally. The shipment of comb honey has 

 never proven satisfactory, and the production 

 IS in consequence restricted to small compass
