Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee ■ Keepers' 

 Association, at its last meeting, and, so far as 

 possible, quotations are made according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached 

 to all four sides ; both wood and comb nnsoiled 

 by travel-stain, or otherwise ; all the cells sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood. 



No. 1. — All sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, detached at the bottom, or 

 with but few cells unsealed ; both wood and 

 comb unsoiled by travel stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

 and dark. That is, there will be " fancy white," 

 "No, 1 dark," etc. 



KANSAS CITY, Mo.— We quote as follows: 

 No. '. white, 13 to 14; No. 1. amber, 11 to 12; No. 

 1 dark, 8 to 10; white extracted, 5i^ to 6; amber,

ri IITr A littlo less than a year ago I bought 

 ■ I II I I ** '^^"^ flute, and was making quite 

 I LU I L good headway in learnin? to play 

 when I was taken sick. Then came 

 Ivy's illness, and it has been months 

 since I have touched the instrument As 

 I look ahead it seems as though the days, 

 for many more months to come, would 

 1 1 r be so full of work that I shall not 

 nfll r have the time for practicing that is 

 UHUUi necessary in order to become a good 

 player. Reluctantly I have decided 

 to sell the flute. It is an eight-keyed instrument 

 of Grenadilla wood, with tuning slide, cork 

 joints, German Silver caps and trimmings, and 

 embouchure, and cost $15.00. It is put up in a 

 cloth covered box. embossed in gilt, that cost 

 90 cts. I also have an instruction book, " Ber- 

 biguier's Method for the Flute, " that cost 83. 

 00. The book is a little the worse for wear, but it 

 is " all there. " Yes, and there is a cleaner that 

 cost 25 cts. TliP entire outfit cost me a trifle 

 over $19.00, but I will sell it for $10 00 cash, or I 

 would accept $12 00 worth of nice, white ex- 

 tracted honey in exchange for it.
