tains in available form. It is an easy matter to write 

 pajje after pa<i"e introducinji; a subject, and to dismiss it 

 in a similar manner, but what pleases the busy bee- 

 keeper is to be told in a few words — clear, plain and 

 concise exactly what to do and how to do it. This is 

 the strong point of Advanciod Bi:1': Cii.i i'ki:. Let me 

 quote once more from my j^ood friend Karnest Root. 

 He says: "The style of w^-iting; is simple and easil^^ 

 understood. One does not have to read over a para- 

 graph a second time to comprehend its meaning. 

 Indeed, I doubt if there is a clearer writer on bees in all 

 beedom; and, what is more, he seems to have the happy 

 faculty of arriving at the ver}' kernel of every idea." 



As a rule, people are quite inclined to neglect prais- 

 ing the members of their own family, hence the follow- 

 ing in a letter from my brother Elmer, comes with 

 added force. He says: "It ruRx not be an elegant way 

 of expressing it, but it seems to me as though you had 

 skimmed the cream from the Review, ever since it 

 was published, churned it, and this book was the 

 butter." 



R. L. Taylor says. "You are too modest in intimat- 

 ing that Advanci<:d Bfjc Culture is only for the experi- 

 enced bee-keeper. I should consider it indispensible 

 to the new hand. It certainh- fills a gap in ai)iculture 

 literature." 



C. W. Dayton, of California, writes: "I did not 

 know that the whole subject could be done up SO 

 compactly, and yet treat of all parts so completely. 

 While it tits the specialist, it is also good for the begin- 

 ner. It contains all that the common bee-keeper cares 

 to know and in such shape as to be easily found." 



Price of the book, $1.20; or the Review one year, 

 and the book for only S2,00.
