Honey reports continued from page 2. 



Zanesville. — The market is firm, save that west- 

 ern comb, on aerount of its tendency to granulate, is 

 being offered at some reduction from standard prices. 

 Best white is selling at $3,50 to $4.00 a case, ac- 

 cording to condition and quantity. There is about 

 a normal demand for e.xtracted, white bringing 9 to 

 11; off grades correspondingly less. Producers re- 

 ceive for beeswax 28 cents cash, 30 in trade. Sell- 

 ing prices are largely arbitrary, and vary with qual- 

 ity and quantity. 



Zanesville. March 4. E. W. Peirce.

FROM PAR OFF AUSTRALIA. 



Mr Boot: — I wish to let you know how I value 

 Gleanings. It is a journal that no beekeeper can 

 afford to be without, as it contains all the informa- 

 tion he needs to handle bees successfully. We are 

 just now passing thru the hardest time here for 

 the beekeeper, as the weather is very dry and there 

 is scarcely any bloom. Most of the bees are dying. 

 My bees are holding their own with my help and 

 knowledge that I have learned by reading Glean- 

 ings. When my friends come and look at my bees 

 they say, "Your bees look pretty well;" and when 

 I show them the inside of the hive they say, "Oh! 

 I wish my bees were half as good as yours. How 

 do you manage to keep them up to such a high 

 standard with plenty of bees and brood in all stages, 

 and so even? You should see mine. The brood is 

 scattered over the frames in patches, and often there 

 are four or tive eggs in one cell. How do you ac- 

 count for my bees being in such condition while 

 yours are in such good order and looking so well ? 

 Your workers are as large as mv queens. My 

 workers are small and dull-looking." 



My first question is, " Do you take Gleanings ? " 



The answer is always " No," just as I thought. 

 Then I say, " There is where you make the biggest 

 mistake, as it is the only practicable road to> bee- 

 keeping. Bees are bees, it does not matter where 

 you are. In Queensland or America they need the 

 same attention. If you read Gleanings it will be 

 like having some one tell you what to do, especially 

 the letter from Mr. Doolittle. Ho has told me many 

 things about beekeeping that I should have never 

 thought of, and I must not forget you. I have tried 

 several of your directions in different respects, and 

 have always been successful. .So you see I cannot 

 be without Gleanings. The price of it is nothing 

 compared with what it gives back.
