BOOK NOTICES. 



Manual of the Apiary, by Prof. A. J. Cook, Lansing, Mich. Octavo 

 pp. 286, with no illustrations; published by Thos. G. Newman & Son, 

 Chicago. 



We are indebted to our esteemed friend Cook for a copy of the second 

 edition of this excellent work on Bee Culture, treating of the art in all its 

 different branches in a clear, concise and interesting manner, showing 

 throughout the author's thorough knowledge of the subject on which he 

 writes. The work is divided into two parts, the first of which treats of 

 the natural history of the Honey Bee, the second on the Apiary, its care 

 and management. It is well got up and the illustrations are very good ; 

 we feel a pleasure in recommending it to all those interested in Bee Cul- 

 ture. The fact that the first edition of 3,000 copies issued less than two 

 years ago is exhausted, shows that the public have appreciated the author's 

 efforts.
