How to Create a Market for Honey. 



We have now published another 

 edition of the pamphlet on "Honey as 

 Food and Medicine," with more new 

 Recipes for Honey Medicines, all kinds 

 of cooking in which honey is used, and 

 healthful and pleasant beverages. 



We have put the price still lower, 

 to encourage bee-keepers to scatter 

 them far and wide. Single copy 5 

 cents, postpaid ; per dozen, 40 cents; 

 per hundred, $2.50. 500 will be sent 

 postpaid for $10.00, or 1,000 for 

 $1500. On orders of 100 or more, 

 we will print, if desired, on the 

 cover-page, "Presented by," etc., 

 (giving the name and address of the 

 bee-keeper who scatters them). This 

 alone will pay him for all his trouble 

 and expense — enabling him to dispose 

 of his honey at home, at a good profit. 

 Try it, and you will be surprised.

The Apiary Register. 



All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a 

 copy and commence to use it. 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 00 



" 100 colonies 220 pages 1 50 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 2 00 



The larger ones can be used for a 

 few colonies, give room for an increase 

 of numbers, and still keep the record 

 all together in one book, and are there- 

 fore the most desirable ones. 



BUSINESS CHANGE.-I wish to an- 

 nounce a change in my business. You ai'e 

 aware of the death of my oldest son, which 

 occurred in May last. He had been quite 

 a help to me. After his healtli Vv'as im 

 paired, he went to tlie country, and 1 liad 

 become accustomed to miss his assistance 

 m the business; but he had taken upon 

 himself the care of tlie farm. VVlieu 1 

 found tliat there was no remedy for his un- 

 fortunate disease, my mind was made up 

 to reduce my business. Aly grocery and 

 seed trade was unusually heavy the past 

 spring and summer, while my honey trade 

 kept growing steadily. When tlie rush for 

 supplies was added, I was crowded more 

 than was pleasant. I could take no time 

 to write a postal card, unless it was impera- 

 tively necessary. On Monday last 1 rened 

 my store, etc., to a couple of young busi- 

 ness men, and sold them my stock of 

 groceries. I may be found, hereafter, in 

 mv honey store, on the comer lot opposite 

 the old store. I'ure Honey and Bee keep- 

 ers' Supplies, Seeds and i'ure Baking 

 Powder, will hereafter be my Imsiness.

Mrs. J. F. Upton gives the follow- 

 ing notice of this book in the Buth, 

 Maine, ISentinel : 



A guide to the management of the 

 apiary for profit and pleasure, by 

 Thomas G. Newman. This work is 

 designed to initiate beginners in bee- 

 keeping in all the secrets of success- 

 ful bee-culture. Beginning witli tbe 

 different races of bees, the author 

 takes his readers along step by step, 

 carefully explaining the different 

 kinds of bees, illustrating each kind 

 with the eggs and brood, explaining 

 the terms used, the production of wax 

 and comb, and the work done by 

 these wonderful insects. The estab- 

 lishment of an apiary is next con- 

 sidered ; the best location, time to 

 commence, how many colonies to be- 

 gin with, what kind of bees to get, 

 how to care for a first colony, keeping 

 bees on shares, changing the location, 

 all of which it is indispensable for a 

 beginner to know. It is also impor- 

 tant to know which kind of hive is 

 the best, how to procure the best comb 

 honey, how to procure it for market, 

 how it should be marketed, wh»t to 

 do with candied comb honey, and how 

 to extract honey. The scientific man- 

 agement of an apiary is then entered 

 into, and illustrations of all tlie nec- 

 essary applicances introduced. There 

 is a chapter devoted to the honey ex- 

 tractor and its use, and another to 

 comb foundation and its use. The 

 various honey-producing plants and 

 trees are named and illustrated. 

 Various methods for exhibiting bees 

 and honey at county and state fairs 

 are described. The best and safest 

 plans for wintering bees are discussed, 

 the book closing with some general 

 advice to beginners. The author says 

 of his book on Bees and Honey, "it 

 was not designed to supersede or sup- 

 plant any of the valuable works on 

 apiculture already published, but to 

 supply a want for aclieap work for the 

 beginners." We most cordially rec- 

 ommend this work not only to begin- 

 ners, who will tin.d it invaluable, liut 

 to all who are not already familiar 

 with the lives and movenieits of 

 these industrious and intelligent 

 little workers. The information to be 

 eaine<l as to their habits, manner of 

 breeding, intelligence, energy and 

 wonderful instincts, by reading this 

 book alone, is enough to make one 

 regard the bee with aduiiratiou and 

 amazement.
