Bone=Cutters for Poultry=Keepers.— It is not 



a question anion t,-- succes.sful poultry men 

 whether ^reeu cut bone is profitable to feed- 

 that has been establisht long", ^oag ago, and 

 admits of no doubt. But it is of great import- 

 ance that the Bone-Cutter selected should be the 

 best, with all the up-to-date improvements. The 

 F. W. Mann Co., of Milford, Mass., were the 

 originators of the bone-cutter, have had the 

 larg^est experience, and have wonderfully im- 

 proved their opportunities. They have aUvajs 

 led, and by surrounding' themselves with the 

 best brains, skilled workmen and the very best 

 material, the bone-cutters they offer this season 

 are better than ever. It was once said not long- 

 ago by the editor of one of the leading poultry 

 journals that "Mann's Bone-Cutter was as far 

 ahead of all others, as an express train is ahead 

 of a two-horse team." It has been the purpose 

 of this Company by fair dealing and first-class 

 goods, to foster such sentiments and to main- 

 tain the prestige so long accorded to them. 



To avoid the great waste in feeding, they in- 

 vented and placed on the market their patent 

 swinging feed-tray. The large sales that fol- 

 lowed attest its popularity among the fra- 

 ternity. 



Their clover-cutter has also met a long-felt 

 want, and has jumpt into great favor. It is 

 not surprising that it should, as it cuts very 

 rapidly, very easily, and leaves the clover in the 

 very best condition for feed. It is an impossi- 

 bility for a fowl to get crop-bound when this 

 clover-cutter is used. 



Their granite crystal grit possesses qualities 

 found in no other grit. It is harder, sharper, 

 cleaner and nu)re economical than any other, 

 and has already become the standard and lead- 

 ing grit of the country. They have shipt it as 

 far distant as South Africa, and all over the 

 United States. 



We can heartily recommend this firm to our 

 readers, assuring them that they will receive 

 the full value for their money, and that all 

 goods will be just as represented. They report 

 a successful business last year, with prospects 

 for a still greater trade this year. Their suc- 

 cess is a just reward for the inventive skill that 

 has given to the fraternity such valuable aid in 

 the form of special machinery that has done so 

 much to make the poultry business a successful 

 profession. Send for their catalog, and say you 

 saw their advertisement in the American Bee 

 Journal.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Sept. 7.— Fancy white comb honey, 

 15c; No. 1, 13(a'14c; light amber, ll{aH2c; dark 

 and amber, 9(« 10c. Extracted, white, 7(o.Sc: am- 

 ber, 0^(a'7c; dark, 6(mbJ^c. Beeswax, Z5ft_i-2oc. 



Consignments ot small lots of comb honey are 

 becoming more frequent, and while there are 

 some who will not buy at the prevailing price, 

 yet a fair trade is being done; this also applies 

 to extracted honey aud beeswax. 



R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas City, Aug. 10.— The receipts of honey 

 are light, demand fair. We quote; l^ancy white 

 comb, 15c; No. 1, 14c; No. 1 amber, 12(sH3c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, tUjitti^c; amber, 5>^(g*0c; dark, 

 5(g*5i4c. Beeswax, 22''«'25c. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New York, Aug. 22.— Demand good for new 

 crop comb honey, excepting buckwheat. We 

 quote as follows: 



Fancy white, 14@15c; No. 1 white, 12(^«H3c; 

 fancy amber, lie; No. 1 amber, 10c. Extracted 

 lirm at unchanged prices. Beeswax dull at 



25(£^''26c. HiLDRETH 6l SeGELKEN. 



San Francisco, Aug. 25.— White comb, 11J^@ 

 12^c; amber, ^S(«)lOc, Extracted, white, 7^^7^. 

 light amber, b%{qHc. Beeswax, 26(sJ27c. 



Market is firm at unchanged quotations, with 

 demand lair and offerings light. The last Pan- 

 ama steamer took 312 cases extracted for New 

 York. The ship Centesima sailed with 349cases 

 for Liverpool; another took 4,000 lbs. beeswax. 



Cleveland, Aug. IS.— New honey scarce and 

 in good demand, l-ancy white, 15c; No. 1 white, 

 13wl4c; fancy amber, I2c; No. 1 amber. iO(g)llc. 

 A. B. Williams & Co. 



Boston, Sept. 8.— Fancy white comb, l-pound 

 sections, I6c; A No. 1, 14((tl5c; No. 1, 12(aJ-13!^c; 

 No. 2, lie. Eight amber extracted, HmS^/ic; am- 

 ber, none to quote. Beeswa.x, 27c. 



Practically no new comb honey has been re- 

 ceived as yet, and stocks are steadily being re- 

 duced, so that there is really no honey on hand, 

 with quite a little inquiries. We strongly ad- 

 vise shipments of comb honey to be made as 

 early as possible. Blake", Scott & Eee, 



Buffalo, Sept. S.— Receipts continue very 

 light of strictly fancy 1-pound comb, which 

 sells very well at 12(a>13c, occasionally 14c; dark 

 from 8(naO; low grades less. Few small lots 

 can be placed fairly well right along now. 



Batterson & Co. 



Omaha, Aug. 16.— Still very little doing aud 

 receipts so light that a market price has really 

 not been establisht. Eittle lots of choice new 

 comb are still going at 14(a'15c, but a good many- 

 dealers will not touch it at these prices, and in 

 order to place larger quantities at this lime a 

 considerably lower figure would have to be 

 made. In the course of another month, when 

 the weather is cooler and the taste for fruits 

 more fully satisfied, the demand for honey will 

 be more general and a more reliable market can 

 be quoted. Extracted is slow sale at 7(a7"^c. 

 Peycke Bros. 



Detroit, Aug. 19.— There has been no offer- 

 ings of new honey and old is fairly well cleaned 

 up. Fancy white we think would bring 14 cents, 

 other grades proportionately cheaper. White 

 extracted, 7'('»c; no dark to quote. Beeswax iu 

 good supply at 23(" 24c. M. H. Hunt & Son. 



WANTED.— Comb and extracted honey; state 

 price, kind, and quantity.
