NOTES FROM THE BRIGHT-BAND APIARY. 



CITY MARKETS. 



Cincinnati —Honcf/.— No change Avhatever from 

 Hsc month in the market for honey and beeswax. 

 There is an abnntiance of comb honey in our market, 

 of choice quality, for which there seems to be no de- 

 mand. We hiivie ottv-rs from commission bouses at 

 almost any price. There isag'ood consumptive de- 

 mand f<ir extracted hoiier. We had the hiffhost 

 water known in the history of Cincinnati. Water 

 went into the ^d .-.nd 3d stories of houses; hundreds 

 of traine houses were tilted over or upset in the low- 

 er part, and the outskirts of the city. We are, for- 

 tuna'elv, above hiarh-water mark. 



Cinclnuati, O., Feb. 21, 1883. Cbas. F. Muth. 



Detkoit —Honey.— There is but little doing in the 

 honey market, the demand bein? very light. Good 

 white comb honey is offered at 1T®18 cents; dark, at 

 14@,1() cents, but no buyers. 



Becswa.c is scarce; quoted at 30 cents. 



Detroit, Mich., Feb. 2J, 1883. A . B. "Weed. 



Chicago.— Hinicj/. — Honey is very slow sale: pric- 

 es are nominally the same, and the supply is plenti- 

 ful. 



Besswax is just the reverse. T am payinff 30 cents 

 cash on arrival for good yellow wax, and 17@25 cts. 

 for dark and olT colors. Alfred H. Newman. 



Chicago, 111., Feb. 21, 1883. 



CriEVEi,AND.—Ho?iey.— Honey has been exceeding- 

 ly dull during Jan. and Feb. It is only within a 

 week that any sales have been made, at prices rang- 

 ing from 19@20 for white 1-tb., and 18@19 for white 

 2-lb. sections. Extracted still moves very slowly at 

 10(§>12.

Boston.— Hojicjy.— "We quote you white one-pound 

 comb honey, 2.5c.; two-pound do., 23c; dark not 

 wanted. Extracted, slow sale. "We have no honey

 CHAS. KINGSLEY, Greeneville, Tenn. 



FRIEND KINQSLEY'S ADVERTISEMENT, NO. 1. 



vfTPf HERE are two things a great many of us need, 

 ' if'^ but are without, on account of the high price 

 ^'r^j' generally asked for them, and that is, a hand- 

 t i '^ power buzz-saw and extractor. By proper 

 management I am able to make and furnish 

 either at a much less sum than is generally asked. 

 I will firat give you a picture of the saw. 



PRICE $25.00. 



I am glad of having the privilege of bringing this 

 saw before you all, as 1 have never seen any thing 

 that would equal it, either in rapidity or quality of 

 work. It is very handy, as one hand can do the 

 turning and sawing too, and, at the same time, is 

 not very hard work, unless you get into a "big" 

 hurry. The whole thing is gotten up in first-class 

 workmanlike style, and all you have to do when you 

 get one is to put the crauk on and go to sawing. 

 Seven-inch saws will be used, unless some other size 

 is ordered. All who have hives, queen-cagGS, sec- 

 tion boxes, etc., to make should order one before 

 spring. 



And now for the ex- 

 tractor. 



This is made very 

 much on the style of 

 Novices, only it is set 

 in a light but strong 

 wooden frame, which 

 makes it convenient 

 to set almost any kind 

 of a vessel under to 

 hold the honey, and 

 about the right height 

 to " save one's back." 

 It also makes the 

 gearing stronger. 



Now, friends, both 

 the saw and extract- 

 or are gotten up in 

 first-class workman- 

 like style, and I shall 

 take pride in trying 

 to please all. Price 

 of saw. $35.00. Same 

 for power, without 

 hand-gearing, $15.00. 

 Will make a machine 

 for dovetailed sec- 

 tions to set on top of 

 the saw-table, and to 

 be run by the same 



belt, for flO.oe. Price .,. ^ t 



of extractor, any size not larger than for l^ang- 

 stroth frame, $5.75; foralarger size than this I shall 

 probably have to charge a little more. 



Very truly yours, CHAS. KINGSLEY.
