Medina, Nov. 1, 1873. 
I'jXTit actf.d honey lias “got over” lining 
a Urng in the market. 
\Yi: hold the remainder of our clover 
honey nt 22c. retail, or 20c. hy the qnan- 
tity. 
We are very careful to mail “Glean- 
ings" correctly. Most of the failures ■ 
have occurred where subscribers have 
omitted to give their county. 
Tub price of “Gleanings” for 1ST I will 
he 7.T cents, and should wc enlarge it, as 
we may do in cusp the circulation in- 
creases sufficiently, no farther increase in 
price will he called for. For $1.00 we 
will include photograph of Apiary, or it 
will he sent to any one sending sjs one 
name besides their own at 75 cents. 
If there are any of our friends who have 
not received their queens or money when 
this number reaches them, we hope they 
will advise us of the fact at once. Our 
limited experience this fall has convinced 
us of the great advantages that would ac- 
crue to all parties if the queens, like oth- 
er goods, could he shipped the day the 
order was received, /. r., during Ihequeen 
rearing months. Those old in the busi- 
ness may smile at the idea, yet wc have 
faith that it can he done, and we shall 
endeavor the coming winter to make 
preparations to that effect. It seems to 
us that ’t is ito very difficult- matter for an 
experienced bee keeper, with fifty colo- 
nies, to rear one thousand queens in a 
season, and at one dollar each this would 
he a very fair income, Who will volun- 
teer to assist in the work of disseminating 
Italian bees at prices which the masses 
can afford to pay ?

day of Sept., 1*73. 
[D. S.] H, If. Flick. 
Hy referring to our last number our 
renders will see that Mr. Flick claims to 
have invented this during tin* winter of 
1*71 72. with the assistance of the “ex- 
pert New York chemist," costing him 
nearly $500, etc., etc., hut it is really 
nothing more than a copy o( the old 
honey recipe, without a single addition or 
improvement. In fact our readers will 
find the whole, with some Valuable com' 
ments and suggestions thereon, in Dr, 
Phase's Receipt Hook, published in 1807. 
The whole hook can he purchased for 
$1 .25' — seventy-live chnts less , than Mr, 
Flick charges for his one receipt. I it Id,* 
advertisement in the Journals Mr. Flick 
mentions his artificial honey i q a way 
that would lead readers to expect his 
Eusy Heo to contain the process of mak 
ing it, but when the circular is purchased
