GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



909 



pounds, so that we may see and taste honey from different 

 parts of America. Those not in attendance, and so desiring, 

 could send theirs to the convention (care of the secretary, 

 charges paid), each package marked, kind of honey, price in 

 their market, and owner's name. The convention could ap- 

 point judges if they thought licst. I like the idea myself, and 

 will " second the motion." A. B. Mason, Pres. 



Auburndale, Ohio, Nov. 7, 1889. 



The idea is a good one, and we will second the 

 motion; and we feel sure that every other member 

 will do so by bringing- along- with him samples of 

 honey produced in his locality. We should like to 

 have some of the convention test some of the nice 

 alfalfa honey mentioned elsewhere. We hope that 

 friend Ball, or some other bee-keeper of that irri- 

 gated district, will favor the convention with their 

 presence, or at least with samples of their beauti- 

 ful honey.

DISCOUNT FOR EARLY ORDERS. 



Those who expect to take advantage of a dis- 

 count for ordering during our dull months will 

 find, by referring to our discount notice on the in- 

 side of the cover, that the discount during this 

 month is 4 %, and on Dec. 1st it drops to 3 %. Order 

 during the next two weeks if you would secure 

 the extra 1%. 



EXTRACTED HONEY WANTED. 



We have met with an unexpected outlet for our 

 stock of extracted honey, and we should be pleased 

 to receive samples from those who have a choice 

 article .of basswood or clover to sell or exchange 

 for supplies. When you send a sample, write how 

 much you have and how it is put up, and what you 

 will take for it. By doing this we can give it one 

 free notice in the Honey Column, if we can not 

 use it ourselves. 



PREMIUM LIST. 



We call our readers' attention to our large pre- 

 mium list in this number. If by chance it slips out 

 and you fail to get it, or if you lose it, be sure to let 

 us know, so that we send you another. We would 

 advise you to keep it in a safe place, for reference. 

 Besides the many bargains we offer you, you may 

 do well to look over the advertisements in the front 

 and back, and see if you do not find something 

 there to your advantage. 



EXTRA QUANTITY OF THIS NUMBER. 



We use, in printing this number and the premi- 

 um list, about 70,0(10 white sheets of paper, 21 x 27 

 inches, besides the covers, of other colors. This is 

 over three times the amount used in a regular issue. 

 We print an extra number, to be distributed as 

 sample copies, and therefore this will be read by 

 some who may never have seen Gleanings before. 

 We ask you to read the number carefully in all its 

 departments, and see if it would not be a good in- 

 vestment of $1.00 to have such a magazine come in- 

 to your home twice a month for one year; 24 num- 

 bers, or about 4 cents each. Send your subscrip- 

 tion, and try it a year. 



ODD BUT TRUE. 



Send me the names of 10 regular subscribers to 

 the American Agriculturist, or Ladies' Home Jour- 

 nal, and I will give you next season your choice of 

 the following: 1 untested Italian queen, 13 Laced 

 Wyandotte eggs, 13 B. Leghorn eggs, or 10 S. S. 

 Hamburg eggs. All I want is the names of 10 per- 

 sons who take either of the papers. Write for cat- 

 alogue of nearly 2000 papers at reduced rates.
