A BUILDING FOR YOU, BY YOU ! 





'i 



^^^ 



You are respectfully and 

 earnestly requested to contrib- 

 ute to the cost and construc- 

 tion of this building— it and its 

 surrounding^s known as Arca- 

 dia— the Home of The Agassiz 

 Association. Theeditor of this 

 magazine believes in the worth- 

 iness of this Cause, and has 

 contributed this space wherein 

 this appeal may be made to 

 you. You also are in sympathy 

 with it because you love na- 

 ture, the great outdoors, recre- 

 ation, inspiration, health, hap- 

 piness and humanity. 



The Aassiz Association es- 

 tablished in 1802 (Massachu- 

 setts), and in iQio (Connecticut), 

 is world-wide in its work. It 

 was recently made homeless 

 by a wealthy man who owned 

 the property it occupied which 

 had been promised permanent- 

 ly. He claimed his sole reason 

 was out of friendship to the 

 manager who was mak- 

 ing too great personal sacritice 

 in behalf of humanity, and be- 

 cause he and his family were 

 working without money re- 

 muneration. It is an interest- 

 ing and surprising story. We 

 will tell it to vou. if you will 

 let us. The Charter of the 

 AA says; 



'* The purposes for which said 

 corporation is formed are the 

 following-, to-wit: the promotion 

 of scientific education; the ad- 

 vancement of science: the col- 

 lection in museums of natural 

 and scientific specimens : the 

 employment of observers and 

 teachers In the different depart- 

 ments of science, and the gen- 

 eral diffusion of knowledgre." 



We believe in those pur- 

 poses. That is why we ask 

 your aid and wish to be of ser- 

 vice to you. No ofticer of the 

 Association has or will receive 

 a salary. Its altruism in all its puri^oses and the height of its ideals are excelled by no other organization. 



The full story is told in a beautifully illustrated magazine, " The Guide to Nature." its official organ. A copy will be mailed free to 

 you upon request. Contributors of less than ten dollars will receive the magazine the number of years there are dollars in their contribu 

 tions. Contributors of ten dollars or more are entered as Life Subscribers— as long as they and the magazine are in existence. 

 Please write for further particulars.

BEE-SUPPLIES 



6 Percent September-October Discount 



The fall and early winter months 

 constitute the dull season for selling 

 bee-keepers' supplies. During these 

 same montlis, after the honey-crop is 

 gathered, the bee-keeper has the most 

 leisure time. To induce bee-keepers 

 to send in these early orders we offer 

 a six percent discount during Septem- 

 ber and October. As the money is in- 

 vested not to e.xceed six months earlier 

 than the supplies must needs be pur- 

 chased, the interest earned is at the 

 rate of twelve percent, a fine profit in 

 itself. In addition the rush is avoided 

 and the possibility of a delayed ship- 

 ment and consequent loss in swarms 

 and honey forestalled. How many bee- 

 keepers have lost more honey than the 

 total value of their supplies, just on 

 account of not having them ordered in 

 time ? Hives and supplies purchased 

 now can be put together rainy days 

 and idle times cheaper and better than 

 under the excitement of swarming-time.
