CiLEANlNGS IN BEE OULTUllE. 



Nov. 



The fdn. mill purchased of you last winter has 

 given satisfaction in every particular. Too wet in 

 the Willamette Valley this year for honey.

pONEY C@M[J)IN. 



The fountain pump came throug-h all i-ight. I am 

 well pleased with it. Your packing' clerk deserves 

 credit for his skill in packlnj? goods, as I never saw 

 any thing put up more complete for safe transport- 

 ing- throug-h the mails. 



1 could not g-et along: so well with my bees, if it 

 were not for the information that 1 g-et from 

 Gleanings, besides the very interesting- " Home" 

 corner. .1. D. nit(iw.v.

SOME KIND WORDS FROM A DISABLED .SOLDIER. 



The g-oods you sent mc came all O. K., and T am 

 well pleased, especially with my A M C. I truly ad- 

 mire your g-entle Christianlike course, i think 

 kindness will accomplish any thing- that is worthy. 

 I should like very much to be with you to talk, and 

 see your apiary; but that can not be. 1 am a crip- 

 pled soldier— crippled for life, but 1 I'col that it is a 

 pleasure to suffer for such a glorious g-ovt-i-nment. 

 May God bless you in your good work. My little 

 girl is g-oing to write to Uncle Amos pretty soon, 

 and Blue Eyes too, but she forg-ets to think that the 

 "blue eyes" are those of an older person now. She 

 is our baby, 9 years old, and her name is Laura 

 Itasca. She is the leader in her Sabbath school 

 class. She has found " Blue Eyes' hive," and laugh- 

 ed big: at their being frightened away from their 

 melon supper. We have a tine patch: come and 

 help us eat. You must wait till Sunday to rea 1 

 this letter, as it will take too much ot your time.

FIIUIT, SHADE, AND HONFV. 



The Blue-Ridge Raspberry will furnish all three. 

 In 1882 the crop on one vine was estimated at four 

 quarts— there being 2020 berries by actual count. 

 The Blue Ridge is a new berry I found growing 

 wild on the Blue-Ridge Mountain in 18'i9. It is a 

 yellow berry, being a vigorous grower. If planted 

 on south side of your hives it will make an excellent 

 shade. It is a tine plant for bees; it commenced to 

 bloom about May 3d, and continued in bloom over 

 three weeks; and during the whole time, they were 

 literally covered with bees. My reg-\ilar price is 

 $2.00 per dozen; but I will furnish them to bee- 

 keepers for 60 cents per dozen, postpaid.

Boiler for Sale. 



We otter the steam-boiler we have had in i!se for 

 sale. It has a 4S-inch shell, is 32 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 

 M'hatever. The only reason why we wish to dispose 

 of it is, that we have put in a larger one, for the 

 increased demand of our work. We know exactly 

 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 lioilei-- 

 shops, |;47.5. We ofter this just as it is for $225, and 

 warrant it perfect in every respect.

CITY MARKETS. 



Detroit.— Honey.— The honey market has improv- 

 ed a good deal since last quotations. Sales are now 

 moi-e brisk; and if the present demand continues it 

 will influence prices, which now range from 14 to 16 

 cents. A. B. AVeed. 



Detroit, Mich., Nov. 11, 1884. 



Cincinnati.— J/one;/.— There is an unsatisfactorj- 

 demand for extracted honey from manufacturers, 

 while there is a fair inquiry for small packages of 

 clovei- honey, such as dime, Yi lb., 1 lb. and 2 lb. jars 

 from the retail trade. Prices are low, as arrivals 

 exceed the demand. Extracted honey averages .5@9c 

 on an-i\al. Choice white comb honey is In fair de- 

 man<l, iui<i sells best in 1-lb. sections. It brings 1.5^'16 

 cts. in the jobbing way. We have several small lots 

 of dark comb honey from parties in HI., and otter it 

 as low as 10 and 11 cts. without finding a buyer. 

 Dealers most certainly mislead producers by quot- 

 ing buckwheat and poplar comb honey, if they are 

 not more successful than we are in disposing of the 

 same. Biifsirit.r.— The demand is slow, and arrivals 

 are few. Good yellow brings 26((',27 ct.s. on arrival.

I have 2.5 barrels of mangrove and palmetto hon- 

 ey still on hand, that can be bought by the first ap- 

 plicants, at a fair price by the barrel. The honey is 

 in first-class 40 gallon barrels, wa.\ed inside, and is 

 of the very best quality and color. 



W. S. HART, New Smyrna, Fk-i. 



I will pack my honey in boxes and put on board 

 of cars, for 1.5 cts. per lb., from 100 lbs. upward.
