Do you want a Good 



Market for your Crop of Honey, 



BOTH COMB AND EXTRACTED? 



We are in position to handle any quantity, largfe or small, to better advantag-e than any other house, for the 



following- reasons: 

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

 We keep ourselves thoroly posted as to the result of the crops g-athered in the honey-producing States. 

 We are acquainted -with the most desirable trade thruout the countrj', 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 advantag-e, and do you 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 quantitj' you have, qualitj', and how put up, and we will 



make you our cash offer. 



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

 from you soon.

Glass Hiiiiey-Jai'S ! 



We have two sizes of clear, flint-t^lass Jars, 

 No. 1 holding- a scant pound of honey, with an 

 opal or while top held on with a screw metal 

 band under which is a rubber to prevent leak- 

 aj^e. No. 2 is a rather tall flint-g-lass jar with 

 tin screw-cap. holding- ^4 pound of honey. Both 

 are excellent for retail hone.v-paclcag-es, and 

 are put up in single gross lots. The prices are 

 per gross, f.o.b. Chicago, for the No. 1 jars, $5.25; 

 for the No. 2. S-t.25. , 



We can fill orders promptly for these jars. 

 They give e.vcellent satisfaction, we know, for 

 we have used the same jars for several years.

tVariiiins' ('ellur!> >vilU Oil- 

 Slovos is al! right, apcording to the Bee- 

 Keepers' Review, providing there is pro- 

 vision for carrying out the foul gases with- 

 out having them mingle with the air of the 

 cellar. The editor once heated his office in 

 the fall with an oil-stove, but had to t^uit it 

 on account of headache. There was no 

 chimney to carry off the vitiated air. In 

 cold spells he had warmed his cellar with 

 an oil-stove, and found it to work all right. 

 But he had a hood over the oil-stove con- 

 nected with the stovepipe in the room 

 above by means of a S'.f inch tin-pipe.

Gloving' Ifees on a Wag-on. — A 



beginner asking in the National rstoekmau 

 about moving Ltees on a wagon, is answered 

 iu part as follows: 



■■ Just what is the best way to fasten the 

 bees in without fastening the air out, de- 

 pends somewhat on the kind of hive. If it 

 is a box hive, the hive may be turned tip- 

 side down and wire cloth fastened over the 

 entire opening of the bottom that is now 

 the top. and the hive may be carried in this 

 inverted position. Be sure that you don't 

 lay a hive ou its side; the combs would al- 

 most be sure to break down. Better pre- 

 pare your hive for movmg at a tiiue when 

 bees are not flying, in the morning or 

 evening. Ou a cool day when bees do not fly 

 all day, the preparation may be made at 

 any time of day. Give the bees just enough 

 smoke to keep them in the hive till you get 

 tbem fastened in. 



" If the bees are in a movable comb hive, 

 carry them right side up. If the entrance 

 i.s large enough to amount to six square 

 inches or more, and if the day is too cool
