tracted out in the yard and bees would not 

 start robbing; this shows what it is. Some 

 of your Northern folks may regard this 

 with a little credulity, but if they doubt it 

 and will come down next May, about the 

 3rd or 4th, they can see it verifled. Yet 

 this state of affairs lasts only till it rains, 

 which it always does while these holly-trees 

 are in full bloom. 



We run an apiary here of 60 odd colonies, 

 located just a mile from a large creek-bot- 

 tom where these holly-trees grow : also some 

 poplar, which yields some pretty fair honey. 

 We have had a very light honey-flow now 

 since holly went out of bloom, but enough 

 has been gathered to help finish up wonder- 

 fully in sealing over the combs, etc. There 

 are thousands of elder-bushes all over this 

 country now in bloom, have been, and will 

 be for some time yet, which yield nice, 

 clear honey, and add considerably to the 

 crop of honey. 



A little later we will have peas in bloom, 

 which yields considerable honey. The bees 

 fairly swarm upon the blossoms. After 

 that the summer and fall weeds and wild 

 flowers come, which help some. Thus you 

 see we are not without a honey-flow all 

 along thru the summer, the these are very 

 light generally as compared with our spring 

 flow. (.i)iiite a number of bee-keepers in our 

 State produce honey by the tons. Tho we 

 have no State bee-association, as some of 

 the Northern States, yet in its quiet way 

 our part of the country gathers quite a 

 large quantity of the sweet that Dame Na- 

 ture intended we should use; still there are 

 millions of pounds of the finest honey the 

 world ever saw wasted away every year, 

 right here in our own State, just for the 

 want of bees to gather it. But before lo- 

 cating down here, a study and examination 

 as to locality are very necessary, as some 

 places are no good at all for a large lot of 

 bees, while plenty of places are good.

IT TOOK 25 YEARS to find out that typewriters have been built up-side-down. 



The OLIVER is built right-side up, where the WORK IS IN SIGHT. 



THE OLIVER IS POPULAR because it is an up-to-date typewriter, not in the 



Trust, and because it shows every word as vor write it.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, June 19. — Not any comblioney on the 

 market except buckwheat aud other dark 

 grades. We look for new crop to start in at 

 about 13c for best grades of white; light ambers 

 and off white Iif(/oI2c. Extracted selling at Sw 7c 

 for ambers, and Ota-Sc for white, according to 

 qualit.y, color and package. Beeswax steady at 

 26(6 2"c. R. A. Burnett & Co. 



New York, June <).— Demand good for e.x- 

 tracted honey, all kinds, and same finds ready 

 sale at the following prices: Fancy, 7ffl 7^c; 

 choice, 6('_'-6?2C: fair, SJ^te'tic: common, 57tot>Oc per 

 gallon. Some demand for comb honey at from 

 1I('_' I2c for white, and 9@10c for amber.' No more 

 demand for dark. Beeswax dull at from 25(n27c 

 per pound, according to quality. 



HiLDRETH & SegELKEN. 



San Francisco, June 14.— White comb, 10@ 

 1054c; amber, 7!4(ai9c. Extracted, white, 7X@ 

 7;4c; light amber, 6^@7c. Beeswax, 26'^(a).27c. 



Market is firm, with very little now offering, 

 either new or old. This year's crop of Califor- 

 nia honey is light, and there is nothing to war- 

 rant anticipating low prices the current season. 



Kansas City, June 22.— New white No. I comb 

 15c: No. I amber, I4c. New white extracted, 6c; 

 amber, S^c; dark, 4}^@Sc. Beeswax, 20(ai22c. 

 C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Cleveland, .March 9.— Fancv white, 13'3il4c; 

 No. 1 white, 12i" I3c; A No. 1 amber, lOwlIc; No. 

 2 amber, Owluc: buckwheat, Sc. Extracted, 

 white, 7c; amber, 6c; buckwheat, 5c. 



A. B. Williams & Co. 



Boston, Mav 17.— Fancv white, 12!4(S!i3c; A 

 No. 1, llfa>12c: No. 1, 10c: light amber, 9c: buck- 

 wheat, 8c. E-xtr.acted Florida, white, 7;4(n'8c; 

 light amber, (i'2(a'7c. Beeswax, 27((j2Sc. 



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, 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 honev is 

 about closed. Some extra fancv white would 

 sell at ll<ail2c; some very poor selling at 6(a»7c, 

 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 5^2'^i6c. 

 Comb honey put up in 60-gallon cans and filled 

 with extr.acted sold at V/ic. This is a most un- 

 desirable way of packing comb honej'. Trade 

 does not care for it. Peycke Bros. 



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

 11"" lie; dark and amber, S(a9c. Extracted in 

 fair demand without change in price. Beeswax. 

 2^'" 26 '/2. 



Decreasing demand and the attempt to crowd 

 sales have forced down prices'on comb honev.
