A Home in the Northwest 



Do you want a home in tlie best part 

 of the Northwest— Northern Idaho? 

 If so, let me hear from you. I have no 

 land for sale myself, but can refer you 

 to those who have. If you will let me 

 know what you'd like, I can also then 

 refer your enquiry to reliable real es- 

 tate men here who can supply you. 

 Remember, no irrigation is necessary 

 here. It is a fine country for diversified 

 farming — dairying, fruit-growing, bee- 

 keeping, poultry, etc. You would be 

 pleased if you could come and look 

 this country over. But the next best 

 thing is to do it by correspondence. I 

 will be glad to help you in any way I 

 can, if you will let me know just what 

 you want.

 this 10-page pamphlet on the uses of 

 honey have already been distributed. 

 It is one of the very best things to help 

 increase the demand for lioney. It not 

 only contains many recipes for the use 

 of honey in baking and cooking, but 

 also tells a good many ways in which

 other ailments. The first few pages

 how to reliquefy, how to keep it, etc. 

 If you have never tried it, send for at 

 least 100 copies. It will pay you to 

 distribute it if you want to work up a 

 home demand for your honey. Prices

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

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

 malleable iron, S'/i inches long. The middle part is 1 1-16 inches wide, and 7-32 

 thick. The smaller end is IJ-s inches long, K inch wide, and 7-32 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 too! as ever."
