aHHHHSiS^Hi 



iHHHlll 



Do you want a Good 



Market for your Crop of Honey, 



BOTH COMB AND EXTRACTED? 



We are in position to handle any quantity, large or small, to better advantage than any other house, for the 

 following reasons : 



We deal almost exclusively- in honey, giving it our closest attention all the j'ear round. 



We keep ourselves thoroh- posted as to the result of the crops gathered in the honey-producing States. 



We are acquainted with the most desirable trade thruout the country, and know exactly what their wants are. 



We know, thru our long experience, the different varieties and qualities of honey ; therefore know what we 



are selling, and no fear of selling fancy stock at the price of a third grade. 

 We handle by far the bulk of all the honey sent to New York, and our volume of business enables us to 



make the charges very reasonable. 

 Why, then, should we not be able to handle your crop to advantage, and do j'ou justice in every respect ? 

 We handle not only on commission, but WE BUY OUTRIGHT as well, from small lots to carloads, 



for spot cash. 



If you prefer to sell your product, write us, stating quantity you have, quality, and how put up, and we will 

 make you our cash offer. 



We shall be glad to correspond with you in reg'ard to your crop, and hope to have the pleasure of hearing 

 from you soon.

Cork Bec-Ilivem have been used to 

 sotue extent in Europe, and at one time 

 were spoken of very favorably. According 

 to late reports in Leipziger Bztg, the cork 

 bee-hive is a failure. When cemented to- 

 gether as in the walls of the hive, cork is 

 not a good non-conductor of heat, making 

 the hive hot in summer. Dampness makes 

 great ravages, the walls finally tumbling 

 down. 



lieepiii^ l>rones in tlie Fall is a 



topic in which Mr. Doolittle gives the ad- 

 vice in the Progressive Bee-Keeper to mass 

 the combs having drone-brood with adher- 

 ing bees in a pile without a queen. Dr. 

 Mason, in the Bee-Keepers' Review, thinks 

 the advice excellent for some localities, but 

 in his own locality there is no need to be at 

 so much trouble, where bees gather enough 

 to keep up brood-rearing till the middle of 

 October. 



I>isease4l Itrood is making trouble 

 in New York State, according to an article 

 in Gleanings in Bee-Culture, by Capt. J. E. 

 Hetherington. but it seems uncertain 

 whether it is foul brood, pickled brood, or 

 something else. He says: "On the sur- 

 face of things, from facts presented, one 

 might almost conclude three or more dis- 

 eases existed in the same locality." He is 

 satisfied that the present disease has not 

 the distinct characteristics that existed in 

 the foul brood that raged in the days of his 

 early bee-keeping in the time of Father 

 Quinby. The editor says that as nearly as 

 he can find out this new diseased brood, 

 while similar to foul brood, lacks the pecu- 

 liar ropiness and the glue-pot odor, the 

 odor, when noticeable, being of a sour, 



Two Wagons at One Price. 



It is a matter of great convenience and a sav- 

 ing of labor for a farmer to have a low, handy 

 wagon. They save more than half the labor of 

 loading in hauling manure, hay, grain, corn- 

 fodder, wood, stones, etc. The 

 man who already has a wagon 

 may have one of these low 

 handy wagons at the small 

 additional cost for a set of 

 wheels. These Electric Steel 

 Wheels, with either direct or 

 stagger spokes, with broad- 

 taced tire, are made to fit any 

 axle. You can convert your 

 old wagon to a low, handy 

 wagon in a few moments 

 time. You thus virtually have 

 two wagons at one price. 

 Write to the Electric wheel Co , Box 10, Quincy, 

 111., for their catalog, which fully explains 

 about these and their Electric Handy Wagons, 

 Electric Feed Cookers, etc.
