UTAH COMB AND EXTRACTED HONEY. 



The carload of honey mentioned in our last issue 

 has arrived. It comes from Ogden, Utah, is gathered 

 from alfalfa and sweet clover, and is very fine flavor, 

 and choice white in color. The comb is all in cases 

 of 24 sections each, averaging about 22 lbs. net weight. 

 The honey is so thick and heavy that, even if the 

 comb were broken, there would be very little leaking. 

 The cases are without drip sticks or glass Much of 

 the honey was built without separators, and a few 

 sections are bulged sohie beyond the wood, and should 

 be handled carefully to avoid mashing the comb. 

 Aside from the disadvantages mentioned the honey is 

 exceedingly fine in appearance and flavor, and will 

 easily grade fancy white. Price $3 75 per case, or 17 

 cts. per lb.; 10-case lots and upward, 16 cts. per lb. The 

 extracted is very light color, and fine flavor; is in 

 60 lb. cans, and candied solid. Pi ice 10 cts. per lb. by 

 the case of two cans. Net weight 110 to 120 lbs. per 

 case. If you prefer to have it melted or liquefied be- 

 fore shipping please so request when ordering. Sam- 

 ple mailed free to prospective customers. 



PREMIUM OFFERS. 



We make this our annual premium number, and 

 print thirty thousand copies. The extra copies over 

 and above our regular paid subscription-list, which 

 now numbers about ten thousand, we send to a select 

 list of our customers. We make this number 16 pages 

 larger than usual, in order to present some views of 

 our factory, which will be of interest to all, as well 

 as to show some improvements in supplies for next 

 season. In this respect it will serve somewhat as an 

 advance announcement, inasmuch as we incorporate 

 also the revised price lists on supplies for next season 

 wherever it has been found necessary to change them 

 from prices ruling this past season. We want, also, 

 to call your attention to the attractive premium offers. 

 Every bee keeper who keeps a dozen hives of bees or 

 more should have a bee-journal He can not afford to 

 be without one. He may find in one issue a hint that 

 will be worth more to him than the cost of the journal 

 for ten years. Many have had just this experience. 

 If you don't care to try it for a year, send 15 cents for 

 three months' trial, and have it to read during the long 

 winter evenings. You will be well repaid. If any 

 one does not find his money's worth we will gladly 

 refund it. If at all interested in a good fountain pen 

 we know you will be greatly pleased with the " Post." 

 It is simply perfect and the opportunity to get one on 

 such reasonable terms will not be likely to come again. 

 The owners take this means of introducing and ad- 

 vertising it; and when it becomes well known and in- 

 troduced they will sell it only through agents at $3.00 

 each. 



If not interested in this we offer other premiums 

 equally attractive, rewarding you well for a little ef- 

 fort extended in behalf of Gleanings to increase its 

 circulation. At the present rate of increase we ought 

 to reach 12,000 circulation by the first of January, 1900; 

 and if every one receiving this number takes an in- 

 terest and lends a helping hand we could easily dou- 

 ble that. 



Wanted.— Buckwheat extracted honey. 



On page 866 we tell how to get two papers for the 

 price of one. 



A. I. Root's Special Notices — matter on gardening, 

 etc., is crowded out of this issue, but will appear in 

 the next.
