GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

BOOKS for BEE-KEEPERS and OTHERS. 



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

 paid, on receipt of price. 



In buying books, as every thing else, we are liable 

 to disappointment, if we make a purchase without 

 seeing the article. Admitting that the bookseller 

 could read all the books he offers, as he has them for 

 tale, it were hardly to be expected he would be the 

 one to mention all the faults, as well as good things 

 about a book. I very much desire that those who fa- 

 vor me with their patronage, shall not be disappoint- 

 ed, and therefore, I am going to , try to prevent it by 

 mentioning all the faults so far as I can, that the 

 purchaser may know what he is getting. In the fol- 

 lowing list, books that I approve, I have marked with 

 a *; those I especially approve,**; those that are not up 

 to times, +; books that contain but little matter for 

 the price, large type and much space between the 

 lines, *; foreign, §.

Scovell Valve Cut-off Smoker. 



Friends, if you want the handsomest and best in 

 the market, send for the "Scovell Smoker." Tho 

 Are barrel of my smoker is made of heavy tin, and is 

 2 ! 4 in. in diameter. The bellows is hinged at the 

 back, making the strongest and most sensible joint 

 in use. The boards are painted a beautiful vermil- 

 ion red, and are nicely varnished. It burns all 

 kinds of fuel, and will hold lire for hours. Price, by 

 mail $1.15. Manufactured by H. SCOVELL, 

 6-8d Columbus, Cherokee Co., Kansas.
