tongue to this dry substance, and you will 

 find it sweet as sugar, and on the ash. 

 hickory, poplar, pear and maple you will 

 find it of a pleasant flavor, but on the oak 

 it will not be so pleasant. At that time you 

 will find no bees working on the leaves, but 

 early the next morning return to your in- 

 vestigation and you will find those same 

 trees alive with bee.^^. provided there was a 

 fall of dew the night before, as this sub- 

 stance must be dissolved before the bees 

 can handle it. 



In localities here, where no oak or black- 

 gum timber grows, we get no better honey 

 than is gathered from the so called honey- 

 dew. The two kinds mentioned seem to 

 make it very dark. D. M. R.

Farm Wagon Economy. 



The economy of this proposition is not all 

 found in the very reasonable price of the wao-on 

 itself, but in the grreat amount of labor it will 

 save, and its threat durability. The Electric 

 Wheel Co.. who make this Electric Handy 

 Wairon and the now famous Electric Wheels, 

 have solved the problem of a successful and 

 durable low-down wa^on at a reasonable price. 



ELECTRIC 



This wag'on is composed of the best material 

 thr(ju^hout— white hickory axles, steel wheels, 

 steel hounds, etc. Guaranteed to carry -KKKI lbs. 

 These Electric Wheels are 

 made to fit auy wa^ou, and 

 makepracticall.v a nen" wag-on 

 out of the old one. They can 

 be had in any heig-ht desired 

 and any width of lire up to 8 

 inches. With an extra set of 

 these wheels a farmer can in- 

 terchang-e them with his reg- 

 ular wheels and have a hig'h 

 or low-down wag"on at will.

I HONEY AND BEESWAX | 



MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, May 8.— Not anything- of conse- 

 quence doing; a little honey is being- sold at 

 prices that have been prevailing- for some lime. 

 While comb is scarce, but there is a surplus of 

 dark. Extracted unchang-ed. Stocks light. 

 Beeswax, 2Tc. R. A. Burnett A Co. 



New YoKK, May 9.— Fancy, 7f«7^c; choice, 

 OC'ibJ^c: fair, 5'/2@6c; common, 55t« 60c per g-allon. 

 Beeswax (>uiet at from 26^28 cents, according- 

 to quality'. 



Our market is in first-class condition, being- 

 bare of extracted honey, and demand g-ood. 

 New crop is beginning-lo arrive from the South. 

 Comb honey is well cleaned up; some demand 

 for white but demand for dark has ceast. 



Hildreth & Segelken. 



San Francisco, Mav 24.— White comb, 10@ 

 10^2c; amber, 'il4(<v')c. Extracted, white, 7Ji@ 

 "'■sc: lig-ht amber, 6J4fe"c. Beeswax, 26'/2!^2Tc. 



Prices for 1S'>8 product remain nominally un- 

 changred, with stocks lig"ht and in hands of job- 

 bers. Values for this year's honey have not yet 

 been establisht, but are almost certain to rule 

 lower than the jobbing rates now current for 

 old. Thi:s yeai's California crop is expected to 

 aggregate 20i.» carloads, 75 percent of which will 

 be from San Joaquin Valley and mainly alfalfa 

 honey. 



Boston, Mav 17.— Fancy white, I2'^@12c; A. 

 No. 1. llf<('12c: No. 1, 10c; lig-ht amber, 9c: buck- 

 wheat, 8c. Extracted Florida, white, 754@8c; 

 light amber, 6^^to'7c. Beeswax, 27fe28c. 



The demand for both comb and extracted 

 honey has settled down to the usual small pro- 

 portions of summer, and prices quoted would be 

 shaded some, to<i. as stocks are a little heavier 

 than is liked at this season of the year. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Kansas City, May 15.— No. 1 white comb. 15c; 

 fancy amber, 14c; No. 1 amber, 13'2c: fancy- 

 dark, 13c; No. 1 dark, 12c. White extracted, 6c; 

 amber, Slic; dark, 4(a'45^c. Beeswax, 25c. 



C. C. Clemoxs & Co. 



Buffalo, May 5.— The season for honey is. 

 about closed. Some extra fancy white would 

 sell at ll(a I2c; S(mie very po(.)r selling at 6fe7c, 

 and dull. No more business in honey before the 

 opening- of the ensuing season. 



Batterson & Co. 



Omaha, June 2.— A few little lots of new honey 

 from Texas have made their appearance on the 

 market. The stock was put up b}' inexperi- 

 enced people and only sold at moderate prices. 

 Extracted of fairly good flavor brought 5i^(a*c. 

 Comb hone.v put up in 60-gallon cans and filled 

 with extracted sold at 6!^c. This is a most un- 

 desirable way of packing comb honey. Trade 

 doe* not care for it. Peycke Bros. 



Detroit, April 10.— Fancy white. 12c; No. 1, 

 HHtillc: dark and amber, 8(fl 9c. Extracted in 

 fair demand without change in price. Beeswax, 

 25@26!^. 



Decreasing demand and the attempt to crowd 

 sales have forced down prices on corab honev.
