Red LabclM for one-pound pails of 

 honey, size ;!.x4!4 inches. — We have just 

 gotten up a lot of these Labels, and can 

 supply them at the following prices : lOU 

 for$1.0l) ; 2.")0 for*l..">0 ; ."lOO for $2.00 ; 1,000

Yucca BruMlicH are employed for re- 

 moving bees from the combs. They are a 

 soft, vegetable fiber, and do not Irritate the 

 bees. As each separate fiber extends the 

 whole length of the handle as well as the 

 brush, they are almost indestructable. 

 When they become sticky with honey, they 

 can be washed, and when dry, are as good 

 as ever. The low price at which they are 

 sold, enables any beekeeper to have six or 

 more of them, so as to always have one 

 handy. We can supply them at .') cents 

 each, or ."jO cents a dozen ; if sent by mail, 

 add 1 cent each for postage.

 honey Is just openlnk'. \Ven<.tean improvement 

 in >'ale8 and prices- iMo(.t of the comb that has

 the j-tbbnii; way. Prices are low for all produce

HONEY.— The demand for honey remains very 

 good for ttne qualities, and they are readily taken 

 for home consuaiptl'ii. aiirl sliipmcnts to Kuron© 

 and the East at 4w.'">'ic. job here. Most of the 

 honey is held at 4^c. and more, and it seems that 

 sooner or later such prices will be paid, as oITer- 

 im-'s are rather siiiall. Comb honey is not sought 

 after so far. but wiili the coldi'r weather more de- 

 mand will come ill. and as supplies a re rather small, 

 we anticipate lull prices. We now quote 7«*.10c., 

 as to qu'iity. wliolesale.

 22(ai23c. for choice lots.
