Good Books. 



These, though not specially desiirned for Bee- 

 keepei's, have a tendency to inculcate princi- 

 ples that ensure .success in bee-keeping as well 

 as almost all other rural pursuits. 



The first on the list should be in the hands 

 of every one who has planted grape vines to 

 shade tlie hives, as we have advised. 



Any of these books will be forwarded by mail, post- 

 paid, on receipt of price.
