GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



June 



How 1 enjoy reading your travels, and also Ram- 

 bler's, and Ernest's short travels! 



(apt. Dennis Kirkley. 

 Toolshorough, la., May 11, 1889. 



The Dovetailed hives are "just splendid;" sec- 

 tion-holders just what I want. Thanks for prompt- 

 ne6S H. H.T. Kohlenberg. 



New Braunfels, Tex., April 29, 1889. 



The bees shipped me by you are splendid colo- 

 nies, nnd went at once to work. The delay was of 

 n<« consequence. Annie Lewis. 



Glen Moore, Pa., M .y 17, 1889. 



The goods have arrived, and give entire satisfac- 

 tion. Bees are beginning to store honey. Our 

 prospects are favorable for a good season. 



Phoenix, A. T., May 14, 1889. I. H. Cox. 



My goods came about a week ago. T am well 

 pleased with them. They are the nicest little hives 

 I ever saw. A. T. McKibben. 



Flagspring, Ky., May 2:5, 1889. 



Stop Gleanings? Never, so long as I can find 

 $1.00 to spare. I would rather go without the coun- 

 ty paper or a new dress than be without Glean- 

 ings. It is always a welcome visitor. 



Norwich, N. Y. Mrs. W. O. Williamson. 



THE ONE-STORY CHAFF HIVE. 



Two years ago I got of you 5 one-story chaff hives, 

 crates, etc. I like them very much. 1 have 11 

 swarms, besides some others on shares. They have 

 wintered the best I ever had them, and I have had 

 bees for 25 years. Eugene C. Goodrich. 



Lebanon Springs, N. Y., May 15, 1889. 



Brother Root:— I believe if you would look over 

 the back numbers of Gleanings and print the ap- 

 propriate articles on tobacco, with your foot-notes, 

 in a little book, and send it broadcast over the 

 world by offering it for sale, it would find quite a 

 sale among reformers, and do great good. It might 

 be well not to give each person's name in full. 



Roseville, Til. Mrs. L. C. Axtell. 



The goods I ordered of you were received on the 

 9th, in perfect order. The express charge was $1.85. 

 Every thing is just as represented. 1 notice the 

 goods were shipped the same day you received the 

 order. Accept my thanks for your promptness and 

 square and fair dealing. By the way, the Favorite 

 family scale is a beauty and a household conven- 

 ience. I would not take five dollars for them, and 

 be without another pair like them. May your busi- 

 ness continue to grow is my wish. J. H. James. 



Greers, S. C, May 14, 1889. 



DEBT and credit. 



I have been much interested in reading your ar- 

 ticle, "Debt and Credit," page 341. May the dear 

 Lord bless vou for your kind dealings! I have 

 been " through the mill," and I can say a man must 

 be unthankful indeed who would censure you for 

 trusting him. or for asking him to pay the same in- 

 terest which you must pay at your bank, in order 

 to give him an extension of time. Go on. Bro. Root, 

 in this same Christlike way of dealing, and do not 

 be discouraged if some hearts are darkened and un- 

 thankful. You are filling many hearts with thank- 

 fulness, and your deposit in the bank of heaven is 

 increasing. " F. Kingsley.

PASTEBOARD BOXES, 



Or Cartons, for One-Pound Sections. 



Bee-keepers are realizing 

 more and more the value of
