(^"Having consolidated my business with the 

 old and solid Commission House of demons, Cloon 

 & Co., iindi'r the same Hrni name, we are better pre- 

 l)ared than e\er to handle horiev in all shapes. We 

 are in the market at all times lor the imrehaseof 

 honey in any sliajie or (luantity, and will jiav the 

 hif.'-liest market price, or will handle it on eommis- 

 sion, as may be ]irelcrreil. Shi]) KlIJ Ihs. or so, 

 enouj,--!! to fairly reiti-esent what vou have, and we 

 will makt' prompt cash olfer for the lot. We will 

 also take sjieeial pains with orders from bee-men 

 for any pailieiilar kind of honey which tliev may 

 want to complete their orders when their own crops 

 are exhausted, and will try at all times to faithfully 

 represent their interests. Jerome Twichell. 



Cincinnati.— Ho/ici/.— Extracted honey has com- 

 menced to accumulate, as it generally does at this 

 season, and I wish you would tell our friends not to 

 make any shipments to us unless previous arrangc- 

 ments are made for its purchase and time of shiii- 

 ment. We had, one day last fall, no less than (ioii 

 bbls. of honey on hand. We were overstocked, and 

 don't wish to have the same occur again tliis year. 



There has been nothing- stirring in the "hoiiev 

 market for the last few weeks. Tlie ai»proach of 

 cooler weather is expected to imi)art more life to 

 the trade. Comb honey sells at Kic in the jobbing 

 way, and brings Uf^'bJc on arrival tor choice. We 

 have no use for dark comb honey in this market. 

 Offerings of comb honey exceed the demand. There 

 is a fair demand for extracted honey in small pack- 

 ages, for table use, as well as for darker grades in 

 barrels. It brings Q@Oc on arrival.

Chicago.— i/o)ie)/.—Demand iminoved of late for 

 a choice article of comb hone\-. I'rioes Iff" l.")e for 

 choice, or selections in good stvle of ease. Extract- 

 ed, dull, Tf/ 8c in small way. iirrxKvi.r, :i()e for l)est 

 lots, fair offerings. California has sent two cars of 

 honey here. R. A. Burnett,

Cleveland. — HoiiCH. — The honey market has 

 been (julte inactive for several weeks; very little 

 is moving, and 16c seems to be the outside that can 

 be obtained for the best white Mb. sections. Sec- 

 ond quality continues unsalable at any fair price; 

 2-lb. sections, slowest, IC" ir.c. For extracted, there 

 is no call whatever. Ba^irit.r, ■^^(o-Xc.

Honey-Dew Honey For Sale.— I have 4 bbls. of 

 honey-dew honey. It is very thick atid well ripened 

 —some clover honey in it. Would be good for 

 spring feeding; is put up in good nearly new iron- 

 bound barrels, and waxed. I will deliver the lot on 

 board the cars at Oberlin at 4c per lb. Who wants 

 it? Chalon Fowls, Oberlin, O. 



[Well done, friend F. I am glad to see you come 

 out and fix a price on the product. I have tasted a 

 sample of the honey mentioned above, and it is not 

 so very bad, after all. We have a few customers 

 who say they like the flavor of it, and possibls' it 

 may And sale at a tolerably fair price when people 

 get used to it, although I confess I hope we shall 

 never have another season when it is mixed right 

 in with our good honey as it has been this year.] 



For Sale.— 1000 lbs. extracted clover honey, in 

 10-gallon kegs, at i^y^c. Sample, 5c. 



M. IsiiELL, Norwich, Chenango Co., N. Y. 



For Sale.— 7000 lbs. comb honey. What do I hear 

 for it:' 4(M)0 1-lb. combs, the rest 2-lb. combs, two- 

 thirds white, and very nice.

nHY ^B0UT TJIK C0MI^'6 BKK. 



KIND FRIENDS, I am glad to state that I never 

 sold queens that gave as much satisfaction as 

 does the cross between Italians, Cyprians, and 

 Holy-Lands. They are undoubtedly less apt to sting 

 than any race of bees; and for honey, I shall not 

 hesitate for a moment to state that they beat them 

 all; and for beauty. I only ask you to send two letter 

 stamps for a sample of live workers, and see for 

 yourself. I can also furnish the very best queens, 

 raised from imported Italians, to those who prefer 

 them. Price ot either race, untested, but laying, 

 '.•'lets. each. Tested. S?!..")!) each. Full instructions 

 sent with each queen, and safe arrival guaranteed. 



Who will send $50 for 100 untested queens, and 

 gi\ (' me 30 days in which to fill the order? Or who 

 will send me $30 for 50 on same terms? I would 

 most probably begin to send some on receipt of 

 order. All over two orders for 100 will be returned.

P. S.— There is no foul brood in this State, that I 

 know of. 



Boiler for Sale. 



We offer the steam-boiler we have had in use for 

 sale. It has a 48-inch shell, is 12 feet long, contain- 

 ing 48 three-inch flues. The boiler has been in use 

 about six years; but new flues were put in last 

 Christmas, so that it is virtually almost as good as 

 new. It has never been injured in any manner 

 whatever. The only i-eason why we wish to dispose 

 of it is, that we are putting in a larger one, for the 

 increased demand of our work. We know exactl.v 

 what a new one like this can be bought for, for we 

 obtained very close figures for putting in another 

 like it, instead of one large one. Such a boiler new, 

 including front grates, etc., will cost at the boiler- 

 shops, $475. We offer this just as It is for $225, and 

 warrant it perfect in every respect.

Cqmbined Putty-Knife and Glass-Cutter. 



Every bee-keeper wants a glass-cutter, as a mat- 

 ter of course. The pattern shown below seems to 

 find considerable favor: 



We introduced this about a year ago, and t'he sales 

 are quite large. We have never had a complaint of 

 one of them, that I know of. Price 6c; it wanted 

 by mail, send three cents for postage.
