KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



Gleanings is the last paper I would ever stop 

 taking-. Jn(i. M. Hobten. 



EUenville, N. Y., Apr 6. 



I am using Simplicity and Hoffman frames— the 

 latter self-spaeing. I want ii" other kind. 

 Sims, Ind. ^ James Rutherford. 



OUR TRANSPLANTING-TUBES. 



I have to-day moved a lot of strawberry-plants with 

 your transplanting-tubes. I must thank you for 

 the idea; it works like a chaim. 



Chas. W. Thomson. 



Hikutara Opotiki, N. Z., Feb. 27. 



The goods you shippea us on the 20th arrived in 

 good condition on tlie 26th. I have been trading 

 with you for about ten years, and I have never liad 

 occasion to feel the least dissatisfaction with you 

 in any deal that we have made. You have always 

 been prompt and fair in every way. God bless you. 



Rockville, Ind. S. K. Pusan. 



I received the goods in fine condition. The foun- 

 dation is as nice as a picture. I have Ijought over 

 $100 worth of goods from the Home of the Honey- 

 bees, and am pleased with all. Every thing is at 

 hand on tlie shortest notice. I am afraid I am 

 "wed" to Gleanings for tlie rest of my time. 



Menallen, Pa. G. R. Koutzahn. 



STILL, faithful TO THE PLEDGE. 



Six years ago I received a smoker of you and 

 pledged myself not to use tobacco any more. I can 

 truly say that I have kept mj' promise good, and I 

 like to read the Tobacco Column. Let the good work 



go on. A. B. HOLBROOK. 



Point Peninsula, N. Y., Jan. 16. 



I have taken Gleanings for four years, and find 

 that it grows better every year. If it continues at 

 the same rate for the years to come as it lias in the 

 past, surely it will go away beyond "par." I think 

 if all its readers could give their opinions they 

 would say the same thing. W. J. Russell. 



Philmont, N. Y., Mar. 25. 



DR. WILFORD HALL STILL DOING BUSINESS. 



Some time ago I wrote you and asked for a few of 

 the leatiets entitled "A New Method of Treating 

 Disease Without M'edicine," wliich you sent. I 

 should like to have some more if you can furnish 

 tliem. There is a man in this town selling the se- 

 cret ( ?) at $4.00 a head. \V . M. Earsom, 



Indianapolis, Ind., Apr. 12. 



NOT LOST A COLONY IN 1.5 YEARS. 



I began using the Root chaff hive in 1878, and 

 have used it ever since. I have (mt as many as 75 

 colonies into winter quarters, and have yet to lose 

 the first colony in them. I always winter on sum- 

 mer stands. D. S. Bassett. 



Farnumsville, Mass., Mar. 24. 



Will you kindly send me a few "Health" pam- 

 plilets? This 18 one or the most Christian-like acts 

 I have ever known— your publisliing and ^istriliut- 

 ing gratuitously a pamphlet of so much worth. My 

 shoemaker tiled this way of treating piles, and be- 

 came entirely cured, and gained 17 pounds in a short 

 time. A. E. Brown. 



Batavia, N. Y., Mar. 20. 



Mr. Boot:—1 just want to thank you here this 

 morning, before we have family prayers; and I 

 shall thank the good Father that he put into your 

 heart to write or revise that little book. Tomato 

 Culture. It came just in time, and answered a good 

 many questions that I could not get answered from 

 any otlier source. Geo. M. Kellogg. 



Pleasant Hill, Mo., Mar. 30. 



Inclosed please find $1.00 for one year's subscrip- 

 tion for Gleanings. I never saw your magazine 

 until a few days ago, and I was very much pleased 

 with your article in Our Homes, March 1. It is all 

 true. This same Dr. Ingersoll said in my hearing, 

 that if all the world would foigive, he thought 

 nine-tenths of the chronic diseases would pass 



away. I Impe to have the pleasure of reading many 

 of your editorials. Eliz.a L. Brown. 



Burdett, N. Y., Apr. 7. 



Now a word in reply to L. A. Doscli, page 2.36. I 

 have no objection to your giving us more notes on 

 gardening, notes of travel, etc., for tliey are ;M in- 

 teresting tome; but I do object to your stopjiing 

 the religious talks, exhortations, sermons, etc. 

 Give us all of them you have room for. 1 think 

 they do a power of good, and that God has and will 

 continue to liless you in so doing. J. G. Nance.

WIRE NETTING, 



SHORT ROLLS, ETC. 



We submit below, corrected from last issue, a 

 list of the short rolls and remnants of wire netting 

 that we have just received from the factory. We 

 still have a good supply of 2-inch No. 19 netting 4 

 feet high, which we still offer at these special prices: 

 1 roll, $3.60; 5 rolls, $17.50; 10 rolls, $34.00. This you 

 notice is 10c a roll higher than our last offer on this 

 size. We have the 3-inch Nos. 19 and 20, 60 and 72 

 inches wide only, t)ther widths all sold. We have put 

 the price on the following pieces at the same rate as 

 full rolls, except on the 72 inch, on which we offer 

 an extra 10% discount. 



Of 2-inch mesh No. 19 wire, we have the following 

 remnants and short rolls at %c per square foot. 

 The figures at the left give the width in inches, and 

 the other figures give the length of each piece in 

 feet. Multiply this by the width in feet, then take 

 two-thirds of the result to find the price of each 

 piece.

In lots of 5 pieces, any one or assorted kinds, de- 

 duct 5% : 10 pieces, 10% ; 25 pieces or more, 15% . On 

 the 72-incii netting you may also deduct 10% on 

 single-piece orders; or, in addition to above, on 

 quantity orders. First come, first served. General- 

 ly these pieces go off very rapidly, and it may be 

 well to name a second or third choice in case your 

 first may be gone.
