Best White Altalta Extracted,,. 



ALL IN 60-POUND TIN CANS. 



This is the famous white extracted honey gathered in the 

 great Alfalfa regions of the Central West. It is a splendid 

 honey, and nearly everybody who cares to eat honey at all 

 can hardly get enough of the Alfalfa extracted. 



Prices are as Follows: 



A sample by mail, 8 cents In stamps, to pay for package and postage. By 

 freight — One 60-pound can, 8 cents per pound; 2 cans, 1% cents per pound; 

 4 or more cans, 73< cents per pound. Cash must accompany each order. 



This honey is ABSOLXITELY PURE BEES' HONEY, the enest of the kind 

 produced in this country. 



1^" We would suggest that those bee-keepers who did not produce any honey 

 for their home demand the past season. Just order some of the above, and sell it. 

 And others, who want to earn some money, can get this honey and work up a de- 

 mand for it almost anywhere. The Circular, " Honet as Food," will be a great 

 help in creating customers for honey. Address,

Following the suggestions ot our good 

 friend, Hon. N. E. France, it is necessary 

 that all bee-keepers of Illinois who are in- 

 terested in the enactment ot a foul brood 

 law. address a letter on the subject to 

 the Executive Committee ot the Illinois 

 State Bee-Keepers' Association (through 

 the secretary at Bradford ton), stating the 

 approximate number of colonies in their 

 county ; the amount of honey produced in 

 a favorable year, and its value ; how many 

 persons are partly, and how many totally, 

 dependent upon bee-keeping for a mainten- 

 ance; what you know about foul brood and 

 its ravages, etc. 



Let every bee-keeper in the State pile up 

 just such letters before the committee as 

 will have the desired effect upon the legis- 

 lature; and in addition let every bee-keeper 

 make a special request ot their Representa- 

 tives that they favor such a law. 



It beekeepers throughout the State will 

 follow this request, it will save the expense 

 to an empty treasury of further postage, 

 which we would be compelled to call on 

 bee-keepers to furnish, and those who have 

 bad foul brood in their apiaries would be 

 the first to respond. So do it immediately, 

 and let's have the law, Jas. A. Stone.

Poorest Season in Eight Years. 



My report is a poor one, I bad 10 colo- 

 nies, spring count, and have four now. 

 The neighbors sprayed their fruit-trees and 

 killed my bees till I had six, I have been 

 doubling them up, and have two colonies 

 that I think will pull through, and two that 

 are in poor condition. This has been the 

 poorest honey-year since I have kept bees — 

 eight years : I did not get a pound of honey 

 this year. Prospects are good for next 

 year. W, M. Daniels
