This is a special tool invented by a Minnesota beekeeper, adapted for pry- 

 ing up supers, and for general hive and other work around the apiary. Made of 

 malleable iron, 8>2 inches long. The middle part is 1 1-10 inches wide, and 7-32 

 thick. The smaller end is 1,'s inches long, ji inch wide, and T-.'52 thick, ending 

 like a screwdriver. The larger end is wedge-shaped, having a fairly sharp, semi- 

 circular edge, making it almost perfect for prying up hive-covers, supers, etc., as 

 it does not mar the wood. Dr. C. C. Miller, who has used this tool since 1903, 

 says : " I think as much of the tool as ever." 



50,000 Copies "Honey as a Health-Food" 

 To Help Increase the Demand for Honey 



We have had printed an edition of over 50.000 copies of the 16-r.age pamphlet on 

 Honey as a Health-Food." It is envelope size, and just the thins to create a local demand 

 lor honey. 



The first part of it contains a short article on " Honey as Food," written by Dr. C. C 

 Miller. It tells where to keep honey, how to liquefy it, etc. The last is devoted to "Honey 

 Cooking Recipes" and "Remedies Using Honey." It should be widely circulated by those 

 selling honey. The more the people are educated on the value and uses of honey as a food, 

 the more honey they will buy. 



Prices, prepaid— Sample copy for a 2cent stamp ; 50 copies for 90 cents ; 100 copies for 

 $1.50 ; 250 copies for $3.00 ; 500 for $5.00 ; or 1000 for $9.00. Your business card printed free at the 

 bottom of front page on all orders for 100 or more copies. 



Address all orders to
