Only two weeks remain in which to take advantage 

 of the extreme discount of 7 per cent for early cash 

 orders. After Oct. 1 the discount drops to 6 per cent. 

 Send in your orders while the full amount of discount

SWEET-CLOVEB .SEED. 



We have secured an abundant supply of unhulled 

 white-sweet-clover seed which we offer at 13 cts. per 

 pound; $1.00 for 10 lbs.; $8.(H) for 100 lbs. By mail, 

 postpaid, 20 cts. per pound. We are not yet supplied 

 with hulled seed of the yellow variety. If any of our 

 readers are prepared to supply it we should like to 

 hear from them, 



HONEY-PACKAGES. 



We are well supplied with stock of Simplex and 

 No. 25 jars, also 54-lb, tumblers and most other glass 

 packages for honey. An accident has occurred in the 

 factory making the Simplex jars, and they are not 

 prepared to supply more, and may not be for some 

 months. We have good stock in Philadelphia, Pa., 

 and Mechanic Falls, Me., and a fair stock in New 

 York, Chicago, and here. 



FACTORY REPAIRS. 



Our factory is shut down during most of this month 

 undergoing repairs in the power-house. We are add- 

 ing another story, 3.5x,50, to the boiler-house, increas- 

 ing the height of the smoke-stack 1.5 feet, and en- 

 larging the flue in the same, so as to ger better draft 

 in the boiler furnace. Our new offlee and printing- 

 building is progressing nicely, and we hope to occupy 

 it in November. 



CHAFF HIVES FOR WINTER. 



Winter is approaching, and if you have not made 

 provision for protecting your bees during the winter 

 months you will need to be making your plans. Re- 

 member that chaff hives or winter cases not only af- 

 ford protection to the bees during winter and spring, 

 but are equally valuable in maintaining uniform tem- 

 perature in the summer, and tend to increase the 

 yield of honey. 



SHIPPING-C AS BS . 



If in need of cases for your comb honey, remember 

 it pays to use the best. Light basswood cases, neat- 

 ly made, improve the appearance of your honey, and 

 very often means a difference in price sufficient to 

 pay for good cases over poor cases such as you will 

 often get at your local mill or of inexperienced rhan- 

 ufacturers. We have a good stock of all sizes, listed 

 ready for immediate shipment. 



TIN CANS FOB HONEY. 



We are still supplying tin cans for honey, at re- 

 duced prices, and we have a good stock to draw from. 

 If in need of cans, let us hear from you. 



In lots of 50 boxes or over we will furnish the 60-lb. 

 cans, two in a case, at 65 cts. a box. 



HONEY WANTED. 



There seems to be a shortage of honey, or else 

 those who have it to sell are not very anxious to dis- 

 pose of it. We have made several calls for honey, 

 and have not been able so far to secure it fast enough 

 to supply our orders and provide a .surplus ahead. 

 We are in the market for choice comb and extracted 

 honey, and should like to hear from those who have 

 it to sell. If it is comb honey, tell how much you 

 have of fancy and No. 1 white, and how it is packed; 

 what size of section, and the number in a case, and 

 the price asked. If extracted, send us a sample by 

 mail, stating how packed, how much you have to 

 offer, and the price asked. If you have no bottles or 

 case suitable for mailing samples we can furni.sh 

 them at 6 cts. each or 9 cts. postpaid; $1.00 per dozen 

 postpaid. If you have not yet prepared your honey 

 for toarket, do not put it off too long. The best sell- 

 ing months for honey, especially comb, are Septem- 

 ber, October, and November; and our trade usually 

 starts in as early as July. If you have a home de- 

 mand at good prices, always supply that first. If you 

 have a surplus for distant market, get it there when 

 it is most in demand. 



CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING. 



This is the season to take advantage of our classi- 

 fied department to dispose of your honey, bees, 

 queens, supplies, or any other article you may have. 

 Look over the department in this issue. You will 

 likely find some goods you want. If you send us an 

 advertisment for Oct. 1st issue by return mail we will 

 give it one insertion and agree to make a refund of 

 the price charged (20 cents per line) if a satisfactory 

 number of inquiries are not received. 



THE PBBFECT PAMPHLET-PBESERVER. 



We have much satisfaction in believing that great 

 numbers of our readers value the contents of Glean- 

 ings so highly— most of it for its interest and much of 

 it for its permanent value — that they take pains to 

 preserve its issues. 



Many more readers would doubtless do the same if 

 they knew of some really convenient, economical, and 

 attractive method. 



A NEW invention. 



The way has been found, and the publishers have 

 secured the use of it for their subscribers. 

 It is called the " Perfect Pamphlet-preserver." 

 The name fairly fits. 

 On the shelves it looks just like a book. 



'Wm't*' 



•bind this MAGAZINE. 



It holds its contents even more firmly than the 

 leaves of the average book— one issue or a full volume. 



Its manner of use is quite as simple as " tying a 

 shoe." 



Its cost comes close to the nominal. 



Price 25 cts. ; postage 7 cts.
