"falcon" Bee-Supplies 



Have been manufactured in our plant at Falconer, N. Y., for nearly forty years, becoming more popular every

Can You Handle Forty Apiaries? 



Read this Letter- 



Bkadentown. Florida. 



Say. friend Tyrrell, you have besieged me with letters and cards from the request you 

 made to your readers on page 470. Well, 1 never saw or heard of such a flood of mail. I 

 never had any idea that you had so many subscribers before, and. too. many of them write 

 the best letters I believe I ever received. Well, it just did me good to look them over, and 

 I wish you could have been here and gone over them with me. 



And now i want to thank you for what you said, and I assure you that as soon as pos- 

 sible 1 will return the favor, not only to you. but your many interesting readers who have 

 written so many good and cheering letters to me. I declare I don't know just how to ex- 

 press myself over the matter, but I must feel something like a great " big hearted " fellow 

 feels at a good old-fashioned hand-shaking at the close of a good meeting, when the good 

 spirit IS at its flow. J. J, WILDER.

are in the ground, the waters.

 to come at these enchantments, is 

 the rich and royal man." 



"HOW to come at these ?" Aye, there's the rub.

to say, keep bees. Want to know how ? Send $1.00 for a year's subscription to
