Good Books. 



These, though not specially designed for Bee- 

 keepers, have a tendency to inculcate pi-inci- 

 ples that ensure success in bee-keeping as well 

 as almost all other rural pursuits. 



The first on the list sliould be in the hands 

 of every one who has planted grape vines to 

 shade the hives, as we have advised. 



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

 p«/rf." on receipt of ])rice.
