Bee-Keeping for Profit 



IS THE TITLE OF 



Dr. Tinker's New Hand - Book. 



It gives his New Systeui of the management of 

 bees complete, telling how to get the largest yields 

 of comb and extracted honey, and make the indus- 

 try of bee-keeping a profitable one. The claim is 

 made that our old methods and appliances are of 

 such a nature that it does not pay even ihe expert 

 bee-keeper to keep bees except in very lavorable 

 localities. The New Book tells why these failures 

 occur and how to prevent them, giving the general 

 principles essentifll to a profitable system. The 

 work should he in the hands of every j)i-ogre=6ive 

 apiarist. It is well Illustrated, and will be sent to 

 anj' iiddress postpaid for 2.5 cts. Please remit by 

 postal note. Address
