GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



725 



These m;iy be exceptional cases; but tliey go to 

 prove what we have l)eeii tryinji- to teach for the past 

 live years or more, and wliat wo liave found true in 

 our own experience— tiiat cans are by far the most 

 satisfactory package to ship lioney in, aud tlie 

 cheapest in the long- run. 



SPECIAL PKEMIUJI FOK OCTOBER. 



During- the next tliree niontiis very many sub- 

 scriptions expire, and liave to be renewed. In order 

 to avoid sending- you notice of the expiration of 

 your subscription", and to induce you to liave the 

 date on the wrapper of your paper advanced one 

 year, we have decided to otter special pi-emiums. 

 These will be offered for only a limited time; and, 

 if taken advantage of at all. liuist be accepted with- 

 in the specified time. Our tirst otter we will not 

 agi'ee to hold open beyond the month of October. 

 To every present subscriber wIk) is not already in 

 arrears, and who will send Ids renewal, with $l.tKl 

 before his subscription expires, and before Nov. 1, 

 1893, we will send free postpaid one of those won- 

 der fvil 



AUOITE STOVE-MATS. 



We first ottered this article for 

 sale in November, of last year ; 

 and since that time we have dis- 



r>\ posed of about 150 gross, or over 

 ^ 2(1,1100. Very many ot our readers 

 are alnaflysupplied, and appreci- 

 ate the blessing they have been to 

 them. They are, in fact, a hou.se- 

 hold necessity. Probably many 

 of those first sent out now need re- 

 placing- with new ones, or per- 

 haps an extra one would not come amiss during- the 

 fruit-canning season, especially when it will cost 

 you nothing. Certainly you could make no worse 

 use of it than to present it to a neighbor who has 

 not yet learned of its value. If your subscription 

 is in arrears we will require that you pay all arrears 

 and a year in advance in order to secure this pre- 

 miuTi. If you secure a new .subscription to send 

 along with yours you may ott'ersuch person Glean- 

 ings till the end of 1894 from the time you take the 

 subscription for 81.00, and we will give you another 

 stove-mat for securing- the name and .sending- it 

 along- with yoursl^together with $2.00 to cover both 

 subscriptions, "^v

Books for Bee -Keepers and others. 



AnyoftUese books on which postage is not given will be

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

 pointment if WK make a purchase without seeing the article 

 Admitting that the bookseller could read all the books he 

 offers, as he has them tor sale, it were hardly to be expected 

 he would lie 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 1 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, t ; 

 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 e.xpress, 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 tor postage on each.
