Underthis head ivili be inserted, freeoE charge, the names of 

 all those having honey to sell, as well as those wanting to buy. 

 Please mention how much, what kind, and prices, as far as pos- 

 sible. As a general thing. I would not advise you to send your 

 honey away to be sold on comniission. It near home, where 

 you can look after it, it is often a very good way. By .all means, 

 develop your home market. For 25 cents we can furnish little 

 boards to hang tip in your dooryijra, with the words, ' ' Honey 

 for Sale, '" neatly painted. If wanted bvmail, 10 cents extra for 

 postage. Boards saying "Bees and yueens for Sale," same 

 p-ice,
