FARMERS SHOULD EXPERIMENT 



and not always take the word of interested 

 parties. Very few of them have any idea 

 how much the common soft wire will stretch. 

 They may have been lead to believe it a mere 

 trifle. It is an easy matter to prove that a 

 No. 9 wire, under a strain of about 1000 lbs. 

 will stretch from 1 to 1'4 in. per Toot and it 

 never takes ud its own slack. That accounts 

 for those little end ratchets filling up so 

 quickly. Our local a?ent will furnish a power- 

 ful stretclier for tliis experiment.

KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



I believe the Porter bee-escape to be one of the 

 grandest things in the way of labor-saving inven- 

 tions about the apiary. A. F. Brown. 



San Mateo, Fla., March 28. 



Do not stop Gleanings until I order it stopped. 

 At the present time I could not keep bees without 

 it and the ^4. /{. J., and I want the A B C as soon as 

 you have the new t dition ready. 



Parrett, Minn., Jan. 29. Scott Lamont. 



Your Home talks and wheel-rides interest me 

 greatly. Your Notes of Travel, and the description 

 of places you have visited, are a never-ending 

 source of delight to one of my daughters. I am a 

 great lover of a good garden, and spend many an 

 hour among my tlowers and vegetables. Your talks 

 on gardening are a great help. I have 13 colonies of 

 bees, so you see I am not a bee-keeper on a large 

 scale. Mrs. Alex. Patterson. 



Lucknow, Ont., March 22.
