GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Mat 15. 



KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



CORNEIL SMOKEK; THE NEW FOUNDATION. 



I like tilt' Cornell smoker. The fuel I use (dry cow 

 miinure) makes much soot, which always <-auses 

 trouble with the check-valve in the Cr;.ne smoker. 



The Peerless tlour bin is a dai^y. Your new pro- 

 cess foundation is beautiful. 1 do not see why It is 

 harder than dipped foundation; but if it is harder 

 (according- to Gleanings) will it not be more diffi- 

 cult for the bees to work 'i 



Independence, Cal. Wm. Muth-Kasmussen. 



[E.vpiTience shows that the new foundation is more 

 readily worked by the bees.— Ed.] 



I think more of Gleanings than of any other 

 paper 1 take, and would not miss the little sermons 

 you jrive us in it for the price of the paper. 



1 piofess lobe a Christum, and cm say your talks 

 have helped me to have more faith than 1 ever had 

 before; but I have not had quite enough faith to 

 give up my pipe and tobacco. I trust another year 

 with Gl,eaning.s will reform me. 



Patterson, N. Y., March 30. Jos. S. Ludington. 



[Friend L., the good book that you and I both love 

 says, "He that doeth the will of the Father shall 

 know of the doctrine;" and I think that, if you just 

 put that old pipe away, even if it does cost you some 

 hard work in real earnest, your path will be very 

 much brighter. Thank you for your kind words.]
