 the veteran in bee-keeping. The A. I. Root 

 Co.. who ought to know, say this about Doolit- 

 tle s queen-rearing book: 



■ It is practically the only comprehensive 

 book on queen-rearing now in print. It is looked upon by many as the foundation of mod- 

 ern methods of rearing queens wholesale." 



Mr. Doolittle's book also gives his method of producing comb honey, and the care of 

 same : his management of swarming, weak colonies, etc. It is a book of lift pages, and is

Celluloid Queen-Buttons 



These are very pretty thintjs for bee-keep- 

 ers or honey-sellers to wear on their roai. 

 lapels. They often serve to introduce the 

 subject of honey, which might frequently 

 lead to a sale. 



Note. — One bee-keeper writes: "I have 

 every reason to believe that it would be a 

 very good idea for every bee- 

 keeper to wear one [of these 

 buttonsl. as it will cause peo- 

 ple to ask questions about 

 the busy bee. and many a 

 conversation thus started 

 wind up with the sale of 

 more or less honey; at any 

 rate it would give the bee- 

 keeper a superior opportu- 

 nity to enlighten many a person in regard to 

 honey and bees." 



The picture shown above is a reproduc- 

 tion of a motto queen-button that we offer 

 to bee-keepers. It has a pin on the under- 

 side to fasten it.

50,000 Copies "Honey as a Health-Food" 

 To Help Increase the Demand for Honey 



We have had printed an edition of over 50.000 copies of the 16-page pamphlet on 

 Honey as a Health-Food." It is envelope size, and just the thing to create a local demand 

 for honey. 



The first part of it contains a short article on " Honey as Food," written by Dr. C. C. 

 Miller. It tells where to keep honey, how to liquefy it, etc. The last is devoted to "Honey 

 Cooking Recipes" and "Remedies Using Honey." It should be widely circulated by those 

 selling honey. The more the people are educated on the value and uses of honey as a food, 

 the more honey they will buy. 



Prices, prepaid-.Sample copy for a2-cent stamp: SO copies for 90 cents: 100 copies for 

 $1.50: 250 c.)pies for J3.0O : 500 for $5.00 ; or 1000 for $9.00. Your business card printed free at the 

 bottom of front page on all orders for 100 or more copies.

The Superior 



WRENCH 



A Necessity on Every 



Farm and in Every 



Household 



The Superior Wrench will immediately 

 erip and hold any nut. pipe or bolt, no mat- 

 ter what the shape, condition or size, up to 

 its full opening capacity. 



This wrench is always ready, and needs 

 no adjustment for any size or shape what- 

 ever. You can readily understand its work- 

 ins principle from the illustration. 



USE IT on badly disfigured nuts, corner 

 all off. and where nothing but a cold-chisel 

 and hammer have been effective heretofore; 

 the Superior Wrench is the best, and will 

 take off or tighten up any nut in such condi- 

 tion, and do it quickly. 



As a Farm Wrench the Superior Wrench 

 has no equal. It will grip any nut or bolt on 

 the binder, mowing machine, or any piece

of farm machinery, and something the 

 farmer will appreciate is this. Did you ever 

 find a bolt that persisted in turning when 

 you were trying to remove a nut '^ Try the 

 Superior Wrench on it. It will hold it every 

 time. 



In operating this wrench it is not neces- 

 sary to use both hands. If you do use both 

 hands, place one on the heel of the loose jaw 

 and not on the point. By simply setting the 

 loose jaw up against the nut or pipe you wish 

 to grip, drawing the handle to you. the 

 wrench takes hold, and the harder you pull 

 the tighter it grips. 



The Superior Wrench is one of the most 

 convenient HOUSEHOLD TOOLS you 

 have ever seen. A woman can use it. and 

 she does use it in many ways. 



We mail theSuperior Wrench for 70 cents; 

 or with the American Bee Journal for one 

 year— both for only $i.5i>. Or. we will mail it 

 />£•<■ as a premium for sending us two new 

 subscribers for the American Bee Journal 

 for one year with $2.00 to pay for same. Ad-
