Jloney market reports continued from page 2. 



New York. — There is a very light demand for 

 comb honey and light extracted. Buckwheat ex- 

 tracted haa a fairly good demand at 6 to 7. Ship- 

 ments from foreign countries are light, and the mar- 

 ket is pretty well cleaned up on these grades. West 

 Indian is selling for 50 to 55 cts. 



New York, Feb. 9. 



Chicago. — Little can be said in the way of re- 

 porting sales of hone during the past two weeks, 

 for the reason that sales have not been made in any 

 volume. January is always a dull month, and has 

 been unusually so, as far as this market is concern- 

 ed; consequently prices are nominal, concessions be- 

 ing made to induce business. The best grades of 

 white comb honey are bringing 15 to 16; the under 

 grades from 1 to 3 cts. less. Extracted white ranges 

 from 7 to 9, according to kind and quality, and 

 amber grades from 5 to 7, Beeswax brings 30. 



Chicago, Feb. 4. R. A. Burnett & Co.

SPECIAL NOTICES 



We have just finished printing 54,000 seed cata- 

 logs for our old-time friend Mr. A. T. Cook, of Hyde 

 Park, N. Y., who expects to do a larger business 

 this year than ever. You will remember Mr. Cook 

 as an old advertiser of temperance cards as well as 

 seeds. He has a good supply of both on hand, and 

 is now ready to take prompt care of all his custom 

 ers. Now is the time to begin thinking about that 

 garden, and we are sure it will be a pleasure for 

 you to look over Mr. Cook's catalog. 



VALUABLE FREE BOOKS.

 ly what an engine is worth. This interesting and 

 valuable information is given in the free illustrated 

 book, which will be sent without any obligations to 

 any reader. Simply send name today to E. H. 

 WiTTE, 193 S. Oakland Ave., Kansas City, Mo. 



EXPERIENCE VERSUS THEORIES. 

 The best products manufactured today are those 

 which are built on experience. Now, we will take 

 as an examjjle Farm Fence, because this is an arti- 

 cle that almost all farmers buy each year. A fence 

 built on Shop Theories is one thing, but a fence 

 built on experience to meet the farmer's require- 

 ments, one that has successfully stood the test for 

 years and years, is quite another matter. Kitselman 

 Brothers, of Muncie, Ind., whose ad. appears in this 

 issue, are making a fence that is built on experience. 

 It contains many practical ideas of farmers them- 

 selves, as they have been selling their fence direct 

 to the farmer for 33 years. They have learned from 

 experience what a farmer's fence ought to be to give 

 satisfaction from a farmer's standpoint. You should 

 write for their free catalog at once if you are in- 

 terested in securing a good grade of fencing at 

 money-saving prices.

We call particular attention to the advertisement 

 of Mr. Herman A. Clark, of Saratoga, Cal., who is 

 advertising dried prunes. The editor visited his 

 ranch last winter and was delighted to see the kind 

 of fruit he is putting out. Mr. Clark is an old 

 Medina County boy, well known to all the members 

 of The A. I. Root Company, and we can vouch for 

 his responsibility. Any one who gives him a trial 

 order will be almost sure to give him a repeat order 

 as his goods are first-class in every respect.
