GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Nov. 



We have just received a very pretty opera glass, 

 that we can sell for $3 no, instead of $5.00, the price 

 of those in our list. They are of course, not QUite 

 as powerful as the higher priced ones, but still are 

 very nearly as good for bee hunting. 



HONEY -PAILS. 



The prices on tinware have advanced, so that we 

 are obliged to make our .5c pails hold exaciv l pint, 

 instead of a pint and a half, as heretofore. They 

 now hold exactlv 1'/^ lbs. of extracted honey, and 

 thus filled and labeled, they sell readily tor an even 

 25c in our market. 



A GOOD CLOCK FOR A DOLLAR. 



1 KNEW pretty well it would come, but I did not 

 think we should get one so very pretty as the two 

 we have. The smallest, callf^d "Wec-vvag," is in iron, 

 and is finished to look exactly like black marble. It 

 keeps time splendidly, and is a real beauty; but it is 

 so heavy it can not go by mail for less than .Wc. 

 Each one is packed in a very neat wooden case. The 

 other pattern is in a wooden case, with the door 

 beautifully carved. Postage, 33c. The works are 

 so simple in cither, that there is but little chnnce of 

 their getting out of order.
