The movement in honey is not as active as we had hoped for, still there is more being sold than at this time last year. Perhaps one reason that may be cited is that all around this city the crops were very heavy and producers have brought it in to their friends, and left it at grocery stores to sell. No. 1 to fancy comb honey is 12 to 13c, with the other grades from 1 to 3c less; white extracted ranges from 71-2 to 8c; amber, 6 1-2 to 7c; dark honeys 5 1-2 to 6c. Beeswax in good demand at 30c. R.

Our market is overstocked on honey, and the demand is light. THE COLO. HONEY PRODUCERS' ASS'N. CINCINNATI, Feb. 6. The market on comb honey is very quiet; there are some sales being made at 14c for No. 1 white honey, but the demand is not brisk.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-There are no new features to report in comb honey. Market continues decidedly dull and very little moving. As we stated in our last report, for the time being we cannot encourage shipment of comb honey of any kind. Demand fair for extracted, with sufficient supply of all grades.

However, very little honey is offered, and indications are that tocks will be cleaned up before arrival of S the new crop, notwithstanding the fact that the demand is still abnormally light. There is scarcely any demand for extracted locally. No. 1 to fancy white comb goes to the retail grocery trade at 16c. Beeswax! brings on arrival 29c cash, or 30c in exchange for merchandise. EDMUND W. PEIRCE. TOLEDO, Jan. 21.-The market on comb honey is quiet as usual at this season of the year. We quote fancy and No. 1 at 15 1-2 to 16c in a retail way. We have no other grades to offer.

GRIGGS BROS. & NICHOLS CO. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 8.-The market is well supplied with both comb and extracted, with some improvement in the demand, and the surplus stock in the hands of growers is practically all shipped. We look for a little firmer feeling. We quote sales as follows: No. 1 to fancy comb, 11 to 12c; No. 1 amber,10 to llc: white extracted, 7 1-2 to 8c; amber extracted, 7 to 7 1-2c; No. 1 beeswax, 25 to 28c. C C. CLEMONS PROD. Co. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 21.-There is a very favorable demand for best grades of both comb and extracted honey, and while jobbing houses are fairly well stocked, very little honey is being offered by producers.

For a number of years we have been sending out to bee-keepers exceptionally fine Untested Italian Queens, purely mated, and all right in every respect. Here is what a few of those who re ceived our Queens have to say about them: What They Say of Our Queens GEORGE W. YORK & Co.:-The two queens received of you some time ago are fine. They are good breeders, and the workers are showing up fine. I introduced them among black bees, and the bees are nearly yellow now. and are doing good work. A. W.SWAN. Nemaha, Co., Kan., July 15, 1905. GEORGE W. YORK & CO.:-The queen I received of you a few days ago came through O.K., and I want to say that she is a beauty. I immediately introduced her into a colony which had been queenless for 20 days. She was accepted by them, and has gone to work nicely. I am highly pleased with her and your promptness in filling my order. My father, who is an old bee-keeper, pronounced her very fine. You will hear from me again when I am in need of something in the bee-line. E. E. McCOLM. Marion Co., Ill., July 13. + We usually begin mailing Queens in May, and continue thereafter, on the plan of "first come first served."

THE PHILO SYSTEM IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE TO THE FARMER AS WELL AS THE CITY OR VILLAGE FANCIER AND IS ADAPTED TO ALL CLIMATES, ALL BREEDS AND ALL PEOPLE The Philo System is Unlike all other Ways of Keeping Poultry and in many respects it is just the reverse, accomplishing things in The New System Covers All Branches of the Work From selecting the breeders to marketing the product. It tells how Two Pound Broilers In Eight Weeks. Are raised in a space of less than a square foot to the broiler without in a space of two square feet for each bird. No green cut bone or Our new book, THE PHILO SYSTEM OF PROGRESSIVE POULTRY KEEPING, gives full particulars regarding these wonderful discoveries, with simple, easy-to-understand directions that are right to the point, and fifteen pages of illustrations showing all branches of the work from start to finish. It also tells how to make a brooder for twenty-five cents that will automatically keep all lice off the chickens or kill any that may be on them when in the brooders. Our New Brooder Saves Two Cents on Each Chicken No lamp is required. No danger of chilling, overheating or burning up the chickens as with brooders using lamps or any kind of fire. They also keep all lice off the chickens automatically, or kill any that may be on them when placed in the brooder. Our book gives full plans and the right to make and use them. One can be easily made in an hour at a cost of from 25 to 50 cents. A Few Testimonials VALLEY FALLS, N. Y. Sept. 5, 1907 It was my privilege to spend a week in Elmira during August, during which time I saw the practical working of the Philo System of Keeping Poultry and was surprised at the result accomplished in a small corner of a city yard. Seeing is believing they say, and if I had not seen, it would have been hard to believe that such results could have followed so small an outlay of space, time and money. (REV) W. W. Cox. October 22, 1908. P. S.--A year's observation, and some experience of my own, confirm me in what I wrote Sept. 5, 1907. The System has been tried so long and by so many, that there can be no doubt as to its worth and adaptability. It is especially valuable to parties having but a small place for chickens: seven feet square is plenty for a flock of seven. (REV. W. W. Cox RANSONVILLE, N. Y., Dec. 5, 1908. DEAR SIR:--Last Spring we purchased your book entitled the "Philo System" and used your heatless brooders last spring and summer. The same has been a great help to us in raising the chix in the health and mortality. I The chix being stronger and healthier than those raised in the brooders with supplied heat. We believe this brooder is the best thing out vet for raising chix successfully. We put 25,000 chix through your heatless brooders this last season and expect to use it more completely this coming season. We have had some of the most noted poultrymen from all over the U. S. here, also a large amount of visitors who come daily to our plant and without any exception they pronounce our stock the finest and healthiest they have seen anywhere this year. Respectfully yours. W. R. CURTISS & COMPANY ARE THEY WORTH SAVING? Don't Let the Chicks Die in the Shell One of our secrets of success is to save all the chickens that are fully developed at hatching time, whether they can crack the shell or not It is a simple trick, and believed to be the secret of the Ancient Egyptians and Chinese which enabled them to sell the chicks at 10 cents a dozen. It takes but a minute to save a chick and no skill required. Note What Others Say of This "Trick of the Trade", RINGWOOD, ONT., CAN., May 6, 1908. DEAR SIR;--Some time ago I got the Philo System and must say it is the best book I ever read on Poultry. I have tried the "Trick of the Trade" and saved twenty-two chickens which otherwise would have died. Yours truly, ROY MOYER BETHLEHEM, PA., April 25, 1908.
