from July till frost, which usually comes 

 about the last of November. 



The plant seems to be easily raised, and 

 is almost as succulent as cabbage, being 

 greedily eaten by cows and other animals. 

 It seems, at present, to be very rare, and I 

 thought it would be well to bring it to the 

 notice of bee-keepers, as it seems quite 

 likely to prove valuable as a honey-plant, 

 especially in the tSouth, as well as useful 

 for other purposes. 



My neighbor informs me that there are 

 two varieties of euphorbia — the red and 

 the white — he has the red. The red is at 

 present quite costly, about $10 a pound. 

 and not much to be had at that price. I 

 think that only a few of the florists keep it 

 or know of it. If any one else has any 

 further knowledge of this plant, I, for one. 

 would like to hear from him thru the 

 American Bee Journal.

The Successful Carying On of the modern 

 farm requires the utilization to the fullest ex- 

 tent of all its products. In order to make the 

 most of farm possibilities, it is necessary to 

 have modern machinery, not only in the g'rain- 

 field, in the barn, and in the house, but also in 

 the poultry department. Here we tind incuba- 

 tors to have become a necessitj'. and the only 

 question which the farmer now asks is as to the 

 machine which will do him the best service at 

 the most reasonable price. In this connection 

 we wish to mention the Successful Incubators 

 and Brooders made by the Des Moines Incuba- 

 tor Co , of Des Moines, Iowa, whose advertise- 

 ment will be found in another column of this 

 paper. Brooders of all sizes are also made and 

 sold at reasonable prices. The new 1900 cata- 

 log: which has just been issued is a very com- 

 plete afEair in all its departments. It describes 

 and illustrates every machine sold by this com- 

 pany, and does it so well that the buyer can 

 make his selection with almost the same cer- 

 tainty as if he had the machines before him. It 

 also contains the usual proportion of valuable 

 poultry reading-. We advise every reader of 

 this paper to send for it. It costs cents. Ad- 

 dress the Des Moines Incubator Co , box 73, 

 Des Moines, Iowa, and kindly mention the 

 American Bee Journal when ordering-.

The Novelty Pocket-Knife 



[A heavier and stronyfer Uuiie than the one we offered heretofore.) 



HOWARD M. MELBEE, 



HONEYVILLE, O. 



(This Cut is the Full Size of the Knife.) 



Your Name on the Knife.— "When ordering-, be sure to say just what name and address you 

 wish put on the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty. The novelty lies in the handle. It is made beautifully 

 of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as plass. Underneath the celluloid^ on one side 

 of the handle is placed the name and residence of the Subscriber. 



The Material entering' into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; the blades are 

 hand-forg-ed out of the very finest English razor-steel, and we warrant every blade. The bolsters 

 are made of German silver, and will never rust or corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver 

 wire; the lining^s are plate brass: the back spring's of Sheffield spring'-steel, and the finish of the 

 handle as described above. It will last a lifetime, with proper usag-e. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife? Incaseag-ood knife is lost, the chances are the owner will 

 never recover it; but if the Novelty is lost, having name and address of owner, the finder v,-ill re- 

 turn it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and address, would destroy the knife. If traveling, 

 and you meet with a serious accident, and are so fortunate as to have one of the Noveltifts, your 

 Pocket-Knife will serve as an identifier; and in case of death, your relatives will at once be ap- 

 prised of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is for a present I What more lasting- memento could a mother 

 give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a gentleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanyiuir cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

 I knife, as the " Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated.

 No. 1 grade; stained and off grades of white,

 ern, 6(flt7c, according to quality and package. 

 Fancy comb honey in no-drip shipping-cases 

 sells atl5(aH6c; darker grades hard to sell at 

 any price. Beeswax, 26c. C. H. W. Webek, 

 Successor to Chas. F. Muth & Son and A. Muth. 



Kansas City, Nov. 9.— We quote No. 1 white 

 corab, 13!^tol4c: No. 2, 13(oil3Hc; No. 1 amber, 

 13(a'l334c; No. 2, 12f(«13c. Extracted, white, 7^

New i'oRK, Oct. 20.— Demand is very good for 

 all grades of comb honey. Receipts are some- 

 what light and not up to former years. We 

 quote: 



Fancy white, 15 cents; No. 1, white, 13@14c; 

 amber, ll((/12c; and buckwheat, 9(rt41c , as to 

 (luality. Extracted remains Arm at following 

 prices: California white, 8J^c; light amber, 8c; 

 white clover and basswood, 8c; amber, 7i^c. 

 Very little trade for extracted buckwheat as yet. 

 Southern, fancy, 7J^c per pound; other grades, 

 as to quality, from 70c to 75c gallon. Beeswax 

 quiet at 26(tii27c. Hildreth & Segelken. 



Buffalo, Nov. 6.— Actual supplies in Buffalo 

 are smallest for several seasons at this date.

. Boston, Nov. 7.— We quote as follows: Fancy 

 white, I6c; A No. 1, 15c; No. 1, 13(Sa4c; buck- 

 wheat will not sell in this city. Extracted, light 

 amber, ~(g;Sc. 



We are pleased to note that our market con- 

 tinues in splendid condition. While the supply 

 is light, yet, owing to the high prices, it seems 

 to be quite equal to the demand. Later on when 

 the trade realizes the shortage more thorolj the 

 demand undoubtedly will be much better. 



Blake, Scott & Lkb, 



Albany, Nov. 10.— We quote: Fancy white 

 comb, I5c; No. 1 white, 13^14c; mixt, ll(SH3c; 

 buckwheat, 10f«illc. Extracted, white, 8fn^9c; 

 mixt, 6^/3(aj7c; dark, 6. Beeswax, 26to28c. 



MacDougal & Co. 



Successors to Chas. McCulloch & Co. 



Omaha, Nov. IS.— The November trade has 

 up to the present not been as good as was ex- 

 pected, and shows a falling off from October. 

 It seems that the somewhat higher prices this 

 fall are affecting the consumptive demand to 

 some extent, still the warm weather yet pre- 

 vailing in this part of the country may also be 

 partly responsible for it. While trade has been 

 light, prices have been well maintained, nobody 

 being burdened with stock to such an amount 

 as to become oppressive. 



Fancy white still going at 14(qil4%c, and light 

 amber i cent less. Extracted, white. Huj ^^<c. 

 Peycke Bros. 



Detroit, Oct. IS.— Fancy white, 15(« 16c; No,
