beeswax. 

 Until further notice we will pay 28 cts. cash, or 30 in 

 trade, for average wax delivered here. From one to 

 two cents extra for choice yellow wax. 



prices withdrawn. 

 Lumber, especially basswood used in the manufac- 

 ture of hives, honey-boxes, shipping cases, frames, 

 etc., has continued to" advance during the past year to 

 such an extent that it is impossible to maintain pres- 

 ent prices. Wages have also advanced to quite an ex- 

 tent during the year. We therefore withdraw prices 

 in effect since September last on sections, hives, ship- 

 ping-cases, and other wood goods. We hope to have 

 new list prices readv to publish in next issue. Cur- 

 rent orders will be filled at best prices we can make. 



Apiary for Sale. 



Owing to my age I have decided to sell my yard of 

 16 colonies, with extra hives, supplies, etc. Price 

 only 5/5 for the entire outfit. Some colonies have 

 made 75 lbs. each, comb honey, this season. A bar- 

 gain. Call on or address
