NO'.VISTHETDIETO PROVIDE 



CHAFF HIVES 



FOR YOUR BEES TO WINTER IN. 



They not only pay their cost almost every winter, 

 but they pay just as well for summer use. See what 

 a friend writes on a postal. 



Mr. R not .-—What is your price for chaff hives, al- 

 ready tilled with boxes, such as Wm. T. Seal, of 

 Chadd's Ford, got of you. Send me price list of 

 hives, and p'-ice of 50 chaff hives. Bees have done 

 well on'y in this kind of hive this summer, on account 

 of coid. It was too cold, in other hives, to stay 

 nights in boxes. I want the frames to hold the one 



It), boxes. J. & J. T. WlLLUMsON. 



Dihvorthtown, Chester Co., Penn., Aug. 24, '79. 



For 50 chaff hives or more, ordered during this 

 present month, every thing in the flat, including 

 nails and tin roof, I will make the price $1.30 each. 

 This is for the hive for winter. 



For prices of the inside work (which you will not 

 need until another season), also for prices of hives 

 set up and painted, and for hive's in lots less than 50, 

 see price list.

CLEANINGS AS AN ADVERTISING 

 MEDIUM. 



It pays to advertise in Gleanings. \ sold all my 

 hives and combs, and had orders for double the 

 amount. A. Fahnestock. 



Toledo, O., Sept. 8, 1879. 



Will you please send me a copy of Gleanings for 

 a customer of mine. 1 find the Gleanings one of 

 the best advertising mediums 1 have tried, and think 

 it has paid me better than any 1 have used. 



Catsfeill, N. Y., July 28, '79. E. H. Wynkoop. 



MCTiCES OF THE ABC. 



ABC reocived in good order. All I have to say is 

 that it is the best bo, >k on the subject I have ever 

 had the pleasure of reading. (_>. A. Hoag. 



West Union, Mo., Aug. :3J, 1879. 



If I could not get another "A B C of Bee Culture," 

 I would not take -$10. for mine. It is the triple rec- 

 tified, double distilled essence of bee-keeping, boiled 

 down. Jas. A. Taylor. 



Austin, Texas, Oct. 24, 1879. 



Hope the new shop will be as great a success as 

 the ABC has been; for I consider it of more bene- 

 fit to persons going into the business than anything 

 yet published. 11. N. Mcintyre. 



Daytona, Fla., Dec. 28, 1878. 



On the stand at my right hand, is the "A B C of 

 Bee Culture," which cost us $1.00; and to-day we 

 would not take five dollars for it, and do without a 

 book of the same kind. J. F. Runmon. 



Spencer, W. Va. 



A B C of Bee Culture. By A. T. Root. Publish- 

 ed by the author at Medina, Ohio, in five parts, at 25 

 cents each, or bound in one volume in paper $1.00; 

 in cloth $1.25. After a very critical examination we 

 are free to say that this is the only work that ever 

 came under our notice which is so clear and plain 

 that not only any boy or girl, but even an old man 

 or woman, "with ihi's book and a hive of bees, can 

 learn modern bee culture and make a fair paying 

 business the first season. It is right up to date and 

 every one who has or who contemplates having bees 

 should have the work.— Farm atul Fireside.
