I'M'i l ED RATES OF TRAVEL TO THE CONVENTIOH AT BRANTFORD, 

 DEC. i. 5, UTD 6. 



Applications for railroad cerl ificates are pouring in, and the 



Srospects are very bright indeed. Our friends in the United 

 tates can yet reduced rates only on Canadian railways. Upon 

 Canadian Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk they must 

 repurchase to the nearest Canadian point, and from there to 

 Brantford a ticket with a certificate. Those traveling on the 

 C. P. R. can purchase . t i.-ket for Woodstock or Gait, and then 

 to Brantford via < i. T. U. When two railway lines are used. 

 two certificates to id I out must be secured from me. At Brant- 

 ford the follow ing hotel rates have been secured at the Kirby 

 Mouse: Regular rates. *'i (ill; rale to members, 91-60. Commer- 

 cial Hotel, regular rate, $1.00; rate to members, 78 cts. per daj . 



Both hotels are within less than a block of the City Hall, at 

 which place the convention will be held, Dec. 4, 5. 6, 1889. There 

 is a sample-room for the display of honey bee-keepers' sup- 

 plies, etc., so all should bring something. 



K. F. Holtermann, Sec'y. 



KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



Please mail me three or four of your seed cata- 

 logues as soon as out, and I will hand them to 

 friends with my opinion. My seeds were of the 

 very best, and a half cheaper than elsewhere. I 

 can send orders for $100 worth of seeds alone. 



Lewiston, Ida , Nov. 10, 1889. L. A. Porter. 



HOW TO FIND A CUSTOMER FOR HONEY. 



You need not put my advertisement in again. 

 The postals and letters come in nearly as fast as I 

 could read them. If you have more than you want 

 of honey, just tell it in Gleanings, and away she 

 goes. 1 received letters of inquiry before I receiv- 

 ed Gleanings. I was "just astonished, I was.", 

 The advertisement, " Bees for Sale," you may omit. 



Elsie, Mich., Nov. 24, 1889. N. L. Higbie. 



\ few weeks ago I wrote a second time to have 

 Gleanings stopped. You very kindly did so, or, 

 rather, I should say you were kind enough to send 

 your check for $ 1 00 for the year when I did not 

 want it. Really this is too generous. I read your 

 paper all that time, and think I got my $1.00 worth 

 of information ; so I return your check, with a feel- 

 ing that I have at last found what is popularly not 

 supposed to exist; viz., an editor with a soul. Per- 

 haps it may be of interest to you to know that 

 Gleanings is on file here in the Agricultural read- 

 ing-room, and also that Prof. Comstock conducts a 

 summer course in apiculture in the university.
