Mexico as a Bee-Country 



B, A. Hadseli, one of the most experienced 

 and largest bee-keepers in the world— has 

 made six trips to Mexico, investigating that 

 place as a bee -country, and is so infat- 

 uated with it that he is closing out his bees 

 in Arizona. He has been to great expense 

 in getting up a finely illustrated ^2-page book- 

 let, describing the tropics of Mexico as a 

 Bee-Man's Paradise, which is also superior 

 as a farming, stock-raising and fruit country. 

 Where mercury ranges between 55 and 08 

 Frost and sun-stroke is unknown. Also a 

 great health resort. He will mail this book 

 Free by addressing. 7Ai2t

The Campbell System 



INSURES your crop against DROUTH 

 Our experience in 1!UU and 1911 has 

 proved that good crops can be grown 

 with less than eighteen inches of rain- 

 fall. Those who followed the Camp- 

 bell System in 1910 had a crop in 1911. 



Don't Take Any Risks for 1912

Sweet Clover Seed ! 



Sweet Clover is rapidly becoming one of 

 the most useful things that can be grown on 

 the farm. Its value as a honey-plant is well 

 known to bee-keepers, but its worth as a 

 forage-plant and also as an enricher of the 

 soil are not so widely known. However. 

 Sweet Clover is coming to the front very 

 fast these days. Some years ago it was con- 

 sidered as a weed by those who knew no 

 better. The former attitude of the enlight- 

 ened farmer today is changing to a great re- 

 spect for and appreciation of Sweet Clover, 

 both as a food for stock and as a valuable 

 fertilizer for poor and worn out soils. 



The seed can be sown anytime. From 18 

 to 20 pounds per acreof the unhulled seed is 

 about the right Quantity to sow. 



We can ship promptly at the following 

 prices for the white variety: 



Postpaid. I pound for 30 cents, or 2 pounds 

 for 50 cents. By express f. o. b. Chicago— 

 5 pounds for 80c; 10 pounds for $1.50: 25 

 pounds for $3.50; 50 pounds for $6.50; or too 

 pounds tor $12.00. 



If wanted by freight, it will be necessary to 

 add 25 cents more for cartage to the above 

 prices on each order.

This is a 64-page and cover booklet, 

 .5^4 by 8K inches in size, and printed 

 on enameled paper. It contains a va- 

 riety of short, bright stories, mixed 

 with facts and interesting items about 

 honey and its use. It has 31 half-

 namely: "The Hum of the Bees in
