A HINT FOR COTTAGKRS. [2912.] Last season I sent to Mr. Rose, Great Charlotte-street, Liverpool, for oae of his transparent window bills, which reads, "Honey from our own Bees on Sale ; I was, however, able to sell my own produce of 1896, and also assist others in selling theirs, so I did not use the bill last year. I now want to say that our cottage is as it were (as the saying goes) "five miles from everywhere," and porterage to the station and carriage by rail- way is a large item in my expenditure, while the cottage is too far from the road for the bill to be seen on our window. I have, therefore, had it framed like a small picture and hung on a tree in the apiary, adjoining the road, as an experiment, to try and sell more honey at home. The bill has attracted a good deal of attention, and had been in position just a week, when it brought me a customer who was anxious to take the small quantity of last season's boney I had left. And also gave me orders for the future by which I hope to clear off half this season's produce. If other bee- keepers, especially cottagers, would do like- wise, they would sell more of their honey at home, there would be much less trouble to themselves, and there would not be such a glut in the market from July to October, and it would be better for all concerned.—Wm.
