Read what J. 1. Parent, of 

 'Charlton, N. Y., says— "We

 Machines last winter 50 chaff 

 hives with 7-inch cap, 100 hone.y- 

 racks, .500 broad frames, 3,000 

 honey-boxes, and a great deal of 

 other work. This winter w e 

 tiave doubled the amount of bee- 

 , hives, etc., to make, and we ex- 

 'pect to do it all with this saw.

Books for Bee-Keepers and others. 



Anyoft'*ese books on which postage is not given will be- 

 forwarded by mail, postpaid, on receipt of price. 



In buying books, as every thing else, we are liable to disap- 

 pointment if we make a purchase without seeing the article. 

 Admitting that the bookseller could read all the books he 

 offers, as ne has them for sale, it were hardly to be expected 

 he would be the one to mention all the faults, as well as good 

 things about a book. I very much desire that those who favor 

 me with their patronage shall not be disappointed, and there- 

 fore I am going to try to prevent it by mentioning all the 

 faults, so far as I can, that the purchaser may know what he 

 is getting. In the following list, books that I approve I have 

 marked with a * ; those I especially approve, "* ; those that 

 are not up to times, t ; books that contain but little matter for 

 the price, large type, and much space between the lines,^; 

 foreign, §. The bee-books are all good. 



BIBLES, HYMN-BOOKS, AND OTHER GOOD BOOKS. 

 As many of the bee-books are sent with other goods by 

 freight or express, incurring no postage, we give prices sepa- 

 rately. You will notice, that you can judge of the size of 

 the books very well by the amount required for postage 

 on each.
