We beg to remind our 

 customers the season for 

 breeding queens here in 

 Medina is rapidly drawing 

 to a close. At present we 

 are able to furnish all 

 grades by return mail. 

 Now is the best time to 

 requeen. A young queen 

 is more vigorous than an 

 old one in spring, and not 

 nearly so liable to swarm.

UNCOOKED FOODS, AND HOW TO USE THEM, 



The above is the title of a book by Mr. and Mrs. 

 Eugene Christian, price $1.00, 151 West Twenty-third 

 St., New York. The book has about 250 pages; and 

 whether you believe in the use of uncooked foods or 

 not I think you will find this book exceedingly inter- 

 esting and thoughtful; and I think you will enjoy at 

 least certain kinds of uncooked foods all the more 

 from having read the book. I make the following 

 extr act from the chap ter on milk and honey; 



Milk and honey seem to be the only two things in existence 

 that were made primarily for no purpose except food. All 

 other articles upon which people subsist were created for 

 some other purpose. All cereals, legumes, fruits, nuts, and 

 vegetables in the great scheme of nature, grow wholly to re- 

 produce themselves; but the primary purpose of milk and 

 honey, when they are created, is for food. They seem to 

 have no other purpose to fulfill. 



CALIFORNIA MOUNTAIN SAGE, THE PLANT THAT 



GIVES SUCH BEAUTIFUL " WATEB-WHITE " 



HONEY. 



We are now prepared to furnish seed, in five-cent 

 packages, of both the black and white mountain sage. 

 We do not know which variety is the better. The 

 seed comes up in just three or four days, and the plant 

 makes a very rapid growth in ordinary garden soil, 

 furnishing a great amount of bloom. I hardly think 

 there is any danger of its proving a noxious weed, for 

 we have sold the seed for many years, and I never 

 heard such a complaint. While it probably will not 

 pay to grow any plant for honey alone, it may pay to 

 sow sage in waste places — on your own premises, of 

 course, where it will do no harm, and it is quite a curi- 

 osity anyhow to see this plant that has for years fur- 

 nished not only tons but carloads of the most beauti- 

 ful honey, in my opinion, the world has ever produced. 

 Father Langstroth used to tell us that the far-famed 

 honey of Hymettus came from mountainous regions, 

 and suggested it was doubtless similar to our moun- 

 tain-sage honey.
