A Wonderful Photograph. -I have pho- 

 tographed a mountain range 05 miles away, 

 beating all previous records by 30 miles. 

 Better still. I have made a picture, a most 

 unusual thing in tele-photography. The sub- 

 ject is Mount Baker. Wash., a snow-clad 

 mountain II. 100 feet high; the point of view 

 is Victoria. British Columbia. For beauty 

 the scene is not excelled on earth. In the 

 immediate foreground is a solid bank of 

 primeval forest, then come the Haro Straits. 

 45 miles wide, dotted with many islands; 

 next rise the foothills blending into the 

 snowy grandeur of the Rocky Mountains. 

 with Baker towering high above— a silent 

 sentinel. I have also photographed the 

 Olympic Mountains. Wash., from Victoria, 

 a distance of 65 miles, again getting a pic- 

 ture. It took me 18 months' persistent effort 

 to get them, but I will not bother you with 

 my troubles. I am selling prints from the 

 original negatives. 6^x8;*. at $1.50 each, but 

 will supply the pair for S2.00. They are 

 printed on heavy cream paper, ready for 

 framing. F. Dundas Todd. Market St.. Vic-

" Bee-Keepers' Guide " 



This book on bees is also known as 

 the "Manual of the Apiary." It is in- 

 structive, interesting, and both practi- 

 cal and scientific. On the anatomy and 

 physiology of the bee it is more com- 

 plete than any other standard Ameri- 

 can bee-book. Also the part on honey- 

 producing plants is exceptionally fine. 

 Every bee-keeper should have it in his 

 library. It has 544 pages, and 29.5 illus- 

 trations. Bound in cloth. Price, post- 

 paid, $1.20; or with a year's subscrip- 

 tion to the American Bee Journal — both 

 for $1.90. Send all orders to ♦'-'> iSSce 

 of the American Bee Journal, 



" Laugstroth on the Honey-Bee " 



This is one of the standard books on 

 bees. It tells in a simple, concise man- 

 ner just how to keep bees. It was 

 originally written by Rev. L. L. Lang- 

 stroth, who invented the movable- 

 frame hive in 1851. The book has been 

 brought right down to date by Dadant 

 & Sons, than who tiiere are no better 

 or more practical bee-keepers in this 

 or any other country. It contains 

 nearly 600 pages, is fully illustrated, 

 and is bound in cloth. Every topic is 

 clearly and thoroughly explained, so 

 that by following its instructions no 

 one should fail to be successful with 

 bees. Price, postpaid, $1.20; or with 

 the American Bee Journal one year — 

 both for $2.00. Send all orders to the 

 American Bee Journal. 



Marking for Planting Strawberries.— Here 



is a good suggestion from W. W. Thomas, 

 the strawberry plant man. .'\fter trying vari- 

 ous kinds of markers Mr. Thomas says he 

 has found the one shown in the picture the 

 most practical, and it can be made by any 



blacksmith. The rods that do the marking 

 are steel, sharpened at the lower end. They 

 make marks that are not easily obliterated 

 by rain, and can be seen for several days. 

 Any of our readers who would like further 

 information can get it by writing W. W. 

 Thomas. 152 Main St.. Anna. III.
