MAPLE syrup. 

 Now that cold weather is returning again we are 

 reminded of pancakes and molasses. The very choic- 

 est variety of the latter comes from the sugar maple. 

 We are prepared to supply it at $1.00 per gallon, or 

 $9.00 for 10 gallons. We have no maple sugar to offer, 

 as this was picked up close in this vicinity last spring. 



bushel crates and boxes. 

 During the past two or three months we have had a 

 very lively trade in bushel boxes and crates, and our 

 accumulation of material is now well worked off. It 

 is itnpossible to turn out these crates from whole 

 stock at the present price of lumber and nails; and 

 furnish them at the old prices, except at a loss. We 

 are obliged therefore to withdraw old prices, and for 

 the present quote the following: All slatted, per crate 

 of 15, $2.10; slatted, per crate of 12, $1.80; galvanized 

 bound, per crate of 12, $2.40. Two in each crate are 

 nailed up, and the others are packed inside, including 

 nails to nail them. 



HONEY WANTED. 



We are still in need of honey. We have not been 

 able to meet the demand upon us, as we could not find 

 the honey, although we have paid much higher prices 

 than formerly. Several times this season we have re- 

 ceived offers which we promptly accepted, then resold 

 the honey to other parties. When it came time to de- 

 liver, the honey was not forthcoming, and we hare 

 had great difficulty in finding other lots to supply our 

 customers, who insisted on getting the honey whether 

 we failed in getting it or not. Be careful not to offer 

 honey that you have not in hand or are not sure of; 



and when you offer it, and the offer is accepted, don't 

 let some one else have it, although he pays a higher 

 price. 



SECOND-HAND FOUNDATION-MILLS. 



We have at this writing the following second-hand 

 foundation-mills which we offer at the following 

 prices: 



No. 1858. One 6-inch Root mill. This will make 

 fair thin or extra thin ; is in good order, but has sev- 

 eral cells slightly damaged. Price $12.00 



No. 1949. One ten-inch Root mill with hexigonal 

 cell and 2%-inch rolls. This has been ustd in cur 

 wax-room, and is in first-class condition for thin su- 

 per. A new mill of this style is worth $30.00. Will 

 furnish this one for $20.00. 



No. 05. Six-inch mill with two-inch roll, and makes 

 fine foundation. Price $12.00 



No. 06. Six-inch mill with 2% inch roll. This has 

 been used onlv a few months, and will make good 

 foundation. Price $15 00. 



No. 07. Six-inch mill with 2^-inch roll. This was 

 made for thin super. It has seen considerable use, 

 but for a general-purpose mill it will do very well, as 

 it would make good light brood. Pi ice $12.00. 



No. 08. Six-inch mill with two-inch roll. This is in 

 fine order, almost equal to new. Price 15 00. 



No. 09. Ten-inch round cell with two-inch roll; in 

 fair order. Price $18.00. 



No. 010. Ten inch hexagonal cell with two-inch 

 roll. This mill would be practically as good as a new 

 mill for a bee-keeper making his own foundation 

 only. Price $20.00. 



No. Oil. Ten-inch mill, round cell with two-inch 

 roll. Price 15.00. 



Send for samples of the mills you are interested in, 

 provided you intend to purchase, and state which 

 ones you wish to see samples of, and we will forward 

 them promptly. 



CONFUSION IN POSTOFFICES. 



As mauy of the subscribers to Gleanings in Bee 

 Culture are customers of ours we take space to insert 

 the fo'lowing letter and explanation, hoping thereby 

 to save others and ourselves the annoyance of getting 

 things mixed in shipping: 



" In the renewal of my subscription to Gleanings, 

 and the clock to be sent with it, I see you have made 

 a mistake and shipped it to Albany, now Bernice, 

 Tuscarawas Co , instead of Lee. now Albany, Athens 

 Co., O. The name of the office has been changed. I 

 received a letter directed to Albany, now Bernice, for- 

 warded from there to Lee, now Albany, informing 

 me that the clock had been shipped. I have not re- 

 ceived the clock yet, so please look it-up and inform 

 me." C. O. Z. 



Albany, Athens Co.. O Jan. 29, 1899. 



You will notice this order was received early this 

 year, and came just before our new guide for 1899 was 

 received. The old guide reads as follows: 



Albany, Athens Co , O. {Lee, Posloffice.) 



Albany. Tuscarawas Co., O. (New Comerstown.) 

 The above is from the 1898 guide, and indicates that 

 the first named is a railroid station, while the same 

 town is known as Lee in the Postal Guide. The next 

 Albany is a postoffice, and New Comerstown is the 

 nearest shipping point. Now, about the first of the 

 year a change was made in the postal service, so that 

 the first one is now Albany, both the postoffice and 

 railroad name, and Lee is not found in Ohio at all. 

 Then, that there might not be two postoffices by the 

 same name, the Albany in Tuscarawas Co. was chang- 

 ed to Bernice. Our customer, so far as we know, re- 

 ceived his goods not very long after he wrote this 

 letter, as we had them forwarded from the other 

 station. As no county was given in the order, and be- 

 cause of the change which occurred before the new 

 guide came in, the mistake was made. There are 

 numerous other cases where there are two or more 

 railroad stations of the same name in one State, and 

 it is important that the county be always given; and 

 be sure to give the railroad name, if it is different 

 from the postoffice name; or if the shipping-point is 

 another place, be sure to specify this. 



One other point that has occasioned some delay in 

 customers being notified of the receipt of their order 

 is the fact that they would give the name of their 

 shipping-point, and their postoffice was either a differ- 

 ent place or else known by a different name, conse- 

 quently our notification-card and invoice would be re- 

 turned to us. Too much care can not be taken in 

 making out orders. Use our order-sheets if you would 

 avoid delav and annovance.
