HOW TO PAINT 



Bugg^ies, farm wagons, fanning' tools, barns, outbuildings and 



houses often need painting. "Everybody's Paint Book," written by a thorough- 

 ly practical painter, will be found a complete guide to the art of outdoor and indoor painting, 

 It is designed for the special use of those who wish to do their own painting. It gives 



practical lessons in plain painting, Tarnishing, polishing. Staining, paper hang- 

 ing, kalsoniining, etc. 



It also tells how to renovate furniture and gives many hints on artistic work 

 for decorating a home. Precise directions are given for mixing paints for all purposes. 



If farming tools and farm vehicles are kept painted, they will last twice as long, and 

 anybody can do the work with the aid of this book. It is handsomely and substantially 

 bound in cloth. A copy will be sent postage prepaid on receipt of price, 9^«(^^

Missouri- Bred Queens! 



My strain of bees is the result of many 

 years' breedini; and selection. I believe 

 ihey are equal to any. and surpassed by 

 none. They are lone lived, winter well, 

 breed early, and are unexcelled honey get- 

 ters. The workers are lontbodied. good- 

 sized bees, uniformly marked with bands of 

 orange yellow. They are good comb-build- 

 ers, gentle and easy to handle, and yet pro- 

 tect their homes from robbers. You will 

 make no mistake in introducing these queens 

 into your apiary. I guarantee safe delivery 

 at your post-office, and make a speciality of 

 long and difTicult shipments. I endeavor to 

 keep a large supply of queens on hand.
