WoodclifF Queens. 



I will send a Guaranteed 5-Banded Yellow 

 Queen, bred from a Breeder selected from 

 1000 Queens (some producing over 400 lbs. of 

 honey to the colony); or a a-Kanded Italian 

 Leather-Colored Queen direct from a Breeder 

 imported from Italy. Oct. '94— at 75c., and 

 a special low price for a quantity. 



My secret is to sell an e.Ytra-large amount, 

 which enables me to sell at low prices. Will 

 run this spring 350 Nuclei— hare 1 home and 

 4 out apiaries. No Queens superior to my 

 Strain.

Best Bees for Comb Honey and 

 for Extracted. 



Query 978.— 1. What kind of bees is best 

 for comb honey ? 

 2. What kind is best for extracted ?— Wis. 



W. G. Larrabee — 1 and 2. Hybrids. 

 J. M. Hambaugh — 1 and 2. Italian. 

 Wm. M. Barnuni — 1 and 2. Italians. 



A. J. Cook — 1. Hybrids. 2. Italians. 

 Chas. Dadant & Son — 1 and 2. Italian 



bees. 



J. P. H. Brown 1 and 2. I prefer the 

 Italians. 



C. H. Dibbern— 1. I prefer hybrids — 

 Carniolan-Italian. 



B. Taylor — 1. Blacks crossed with 

 Italians. 2. Italians. 



Eugene Secor — 1 and 2. A good cross 

 between the Italian and German. 



P. H. Elwood— Italian hybrids. 2. 

 The same for this locality (New York). 



Jas. A. Stone — 1 and 2. I will take 

 the Italian — first, last, and all the time. 



W. R. Graham— 1 and 2. The bees 

 that are best for all purposes — the Ital- 

 ians. 



Emerson T. Abbott— 1. Blacks, with 

 a mixture of Italian and Carniolan. 2. 

 Italians. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 1 and 2. I do not 

 know. I'm satisfied with Italians for 

 all purposes. 



R. L. Taylor -1 and 2. The cross be- 

 tween the Italian and the German is the 

 best I have found. 



G. M. Doolittle— 1 and 2. Italians and 

 a first cross with the black bee. gener- 

 ally known as " hybrids." 



Allen Pringle— 1. "My kind "—say 

 blacks or Germans and hybrids. 2. 

 " My kind " — say Italians. 



E. Prance — 1 and 2. Carniolans are 

 my choice. But any of them are good 

 in a good season, and good for nothing 

 in a poor season. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— 1. I think I would 

 rather hav3 Italians, all things consid- 

 ered. 2. I don't know. Italians are 

 good, and a mixture of the despised Pu- 

 nic blood has done well for me. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — 1 and 2. Hybrids 

 usually make whiter cappings, but for 

 quantity and quality, and a general all- 

 purpose bee, for either comb or ex- 

 tracted honey, the Italian is the bee for 

 the work. 



H. D. Cutting— 1 and 2. That de- 

 pends. I prefer Carniolan bees for fine 

 appearance, and that brings the most 

 money, and in ray locality they gather 

 just as much honey, and in several cases 

 a little more. 



M. Mahin— 1 and 2. Those are pretty 

 hard questions. I am inclined to believe 

 that the Syrians are best for both comb 

 and extracted honey. They have proved, 

 after years of trial, superior to Italians, 

 in my experience. 



6. W. Demaree — 1 and 2. Italians 

 and their crosses, for both comb and 

 " extracted from the comb." The dark, 

 inferior bees lay on a thicker layer of 



wax when capping, which gives the 

 sealed comb a dry, white appearance 

 that tickles the fancy of some people; 

 but the straight Italian and her crosses 

 finish a slightly cream-tinted comb, that 

 simply and urgently invites you to eat it 

 right away. 



J. E. Pond — 1 and 2. I prefer the 

 Italians to all others, both for comb and 

 extracted honey. They have been well 

 and thoroughly tested for over 25 years, 

 and so far as the general belief is con- 

 cerned, they have not yet been found 

 wanting. The weight of evidence is in 

 their favor, by an immense majority.

SCIENCE CONFIRMS HORSE SENSE. 



A majority of the first class Railroadsof 

 the United States and Canada are u.'^ing The 

 Paae fence. Scientific tests and i-orujiarisons 

 led to this result. Strange to say the best 

 practical farmers of both countries, led only 

 by experience and good common sense, had 

 ■already decided in its favor, and now Park 

 Conimissoners and Cemetery Offirials seem 

 bound to make tiie decision unanimous. We 

 have sold double the amount of park fence 

 this season lli.-in heretofore in the whole his- 

 tory of the business.
