neighbors to eat honey. All children, as a 

 general rule, are fond of sweets, and I think 

 honey is one of God's purest sweets. I have 

 kept bees for eight years, and have never 

 sbipt a pound of honey. Last year I sold 

 something over 400 gallons right at home, 

 and I could have sold that much more. I 

 am askt pretty nearly every day if I have 

 some more honey to sell yet, and almost al- 

 ways the person will say, '' When you get 

 some honey let us know." 



I think it pays better to sell honey to the 

 neighbors, if we can realize as much out of 

 it as we could by sending it to some distant 

 market. 



About 35 percent of the bees died in this 

 neighborhood. I have been out gathering 

 up old combs where bees have died. Farm- 

 ers as a general rule do not know the value 

 of old combs, and are glad to get the 

 hives cleaned up for the combs.

Too Much Rain. 



Bees are doing rather poorly owing to 

 the excessive rains we are having. I have 

 107 colonies, which are almost without 

 stores, and will have to be fed soon if the 

 rainy weather continues. The sweet clover 

 here will be in bloom in about a week

The demand for both comb aud extracted 

 honey has settled down to the usual small pro- 

 portions of summer, and prices quoted would be 

 shaded some, too, as stocks are a little heavier 

 than is liked at this season of the year. 



Blake, Scott & Lee. 



Buffalo, May 5.— The season for honey is 

 about clo-sed. Some extra fancy white would 

 sell at llig 12c; some very poor selling at 6rai7c, 

 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 bv inexperi- 

 enced people and only sold at moderate prices. 

 Extracted of fairly good flavor brought 5^^to(>c. 

 Comb honey put up in bll-gallon cans and "filled 

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

 desirable way of packing comb honey. Trade 

 does not care for it. Peyck'e Bros.

 lOe-llc; dark and amber, 8(S 9c. Extracted iu 

 fair demand without change in price. Beeswax,

Decreasing demand and the attempt to crowd 

 sales have forced down pricesjon comb honey.
