GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Jan. 1. 



ANAGERI 



BEESWAX MAHKET. 



The beeswax market is a little easier of late, and 

 brokers are ofleriiig at about Ic per lb. less than a 

 few weeks ago. The tide may turn again before 

 long. It is hard to say. For the present we lower 

 our price Ic per lb., and offer 24c cash, 26c trade, de- 

 livered heie, for average wax. 



VANDEUSEN FLAT-BOTTOM FOUNDATION. 



There are those who still prefer to use this style 

 of foundation. We have a few boxes, taken in 

 trade, which we offer at lowest wholesale price to 

 dispose of it. Our stock is of the No. 3 thin, about 

 11 or 13 sq. feet to the pound; 25 lbs. in a box; and 

 we offer it at $10.50 per box. You can order from 

 here or from Cliicago, as we have it in stock at both 

 plar^es. 



CLUBBING RATES. 



On and after this date clubbing rates with the 

 American Bee Journal and Bee-Keepers' Review will 

 be $1.75 for new names and $1.90 for renewals. For 

 example, a subscriber to Gleanings, but not a sub- 

 scriber to the American Bee Jonrnal ov Bee-Keepers' 

 Review may send us $1.75 and receive Gleanings 

 and either of the other papers for one year; but if 

 that person is a subscriber to both papers the price 

 will be $1.90. 



minimum charge on freight shipment. 

 The new issue of the Official Classification going 

 into effect this date, and which governs all freight 

 traffic east of Chicngo and Mississippi, and north of 

 Ohio River, contains a new rule which will affect all 

 small freight shipments for short distances. For- 

 merly the minimum charge on any shipment, by 

 freight, was 25 cents. This is now changed to read 

 35 cents. Those who have been getting small ship- 

 ments through heretofore for 25 cents will hi reafter 

 have to pay 35 cents. This should have a tendency 

 to induce customers to send larger orders, or club 

 their orders, so as to make a large enough shipment 

 to get the benefit of the lowest rate available. 



honey for sale. 



We have only a few cases left of 1895 alfalfa ex- 

 tracted, and most of that is in one-gallon square 

 cans, 6 in a case. This we offer at $4.75 per case; 

 2 case lots or more, at $4.50. There are several 

 cases of two 5-gallon cans, amber color, which we 

 will close out at 87 20 per case. 



We have choice new basswood or willow-herb 

 honey in 60-lb. cans, 3 in a case, at 7c per lb. 



Buckwheat at 5c per lb. in cans, kegs, or barrels 

 at4'/2C. 



No. 1 white comb honey, in lots of 100 lbs. and up, 

 at 13c per lb.; buckwheat at lOc; 200-lb. lots of 

 either, Ic per lb. less. Inquiries solicited from those 

 in need of honey. 



small wire nails. 

 Id our last issue we gave the revised price list of 

 standard wire nails. We were not at the time post- 

 ed on the new prices of fine wire nails. We now 

 give them in the following table: 



Cement-coated, except first four. 



comb-foundation mills. 



We have the following second-hand foundation- 

 mills, which we offer at the low prices annexed, to 

 close them out. 



Six-inch hexagonal. No. 1467. Price $10.00. Suita- 

 ble for extra thin foundation. In good condition. 



Six-inch hex.. No. 1461. Price $7.00. This mill has 

 had more use, but will still make good surplus foun- 

 dation, and is cheap at the price. 



Ten-inch round cell. No. TT. Price $10.00. This 

 will make good medium brood foundation, and is in 

 good condition. 



Ten-inch, round cell, old style. No. V V. Price 

 $8.00. While this has had very little use, and is 

 practically as good as when first made, it is quite 

 inferior to our present make. For a small amount 

 for home use it will answer nicely. 



We have also a number of new 6-inch mills which 

 are not suitable for e.xtra thin, but which will make 

 good surplus foundation; also, by adjustment, they 

 would do fairly well for half sheets of light brood. 

 We offer these to close out, at $10.00 each. 



We have also one or two 13-inch round cell mills 

 for medium brood, which we will sell at $32.50, and 

 one or two 14-Inch similar that we offer for $25.00 

 each. These mills are a bargain to any one who can 

 use this style; shall be pleasea to submit samples 

 of the work of any of these machines to any intend- 

 ing purchasers who are interested.
