and speaking' half a dozen words, a dollar may be 

 saved. Wlien 1 was a juvenile I was gi'eatly pleased 

 with a process in mathematics called cancellation- 

 swapping' off, as it were; and this the boss should be 

 doing continually in his business. If he has not 

 brains enough to avoid sending a team or even a 

 boy on a long trip with an empty wagon, and then 

 making the same trip again to carry something in 

 the same direction, because nobody tliought of it, 

 he had better stop iDeing " boss " and " hire out " to 

 somebody.

"The Southland Queen." 



You ought to know what you are missing by not 

 reading the Stmthland Quecii. The only bee-journal 

 published in the South, and the only bee-keeping 

 school known is taught by that world-kenowned 

 teacher, Mrs. Jennie Atchley, through its columns. 

 How to raise queens, bees, and honev, and, in fact, 

 how to make bee-keeping a success, is taught in 

 the school. A single copy is worth more to beginners 

 than the subscription price for a whole year ($1.00). 

 A steam bee-hive factory. Root's goods, Dadant's 

 foundation, and all bee-supplies. You all know 

 where to arrange for your queens and bees for '9(1 

 If you do not, send for a free catalog that tells all 

 about queen-rearing, and a sample journal. Address

Advantages of Bee-Escapes. 



No sweat steals down the hejited cheeks and ach- 

 ing back of the bee-keeper as the result of standing 

 in the hot sun pulling, blowing, smoking, and brush- 

 ing bees; no time is wasted in these disagi'eeable 

 operations; and no stings received in resentment of 

 such treatment; the honey is secured free from 

 black or even the taint of smoke; the cappings are 

 not injured by the gnawings of bees; and robbers 

 stand no show whatever. If there are any broken 

 burr-combs they are cleaned up by the bees inside 

 the hive, before the honey is removed. Leading 

 Bee-keepers use the Porter Escape, and say that 

 without a trial it is impossible to realize the amount 

 of vexatious, annoying, disagreeable work that it 

 saves. The cost is only 20 cts. each, or $3.25 per doz. 

 As in the past, this escape is manufactured by the 

 Porters, but The A. I. Root Co. are now the ex- 

 clusive selling agents for this country. Order of 

 your dealer or of
