GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



829 



other grower that I know of puts his seconds at only 

 half the price of firsts; and while the greater part of 

 our customers are usually pleased with their seconds 

 there are a few who complain; and this is why we 

 have particularlj' specified that, if you buy seconds, 

 you must expect to take all that are not strictly first- 

 class, as above. 



Any time before the first of November, potatoes will 

 be shipped from Traverse City, Mich. About Nov. 1 

 we expect our whole crop to be moved to Medina, O., 

 where they will be stored in our potato-cellars, ready 

 for shipment in the spring. We will ship this fall, 

 and pack up so as to guarantee safe delivery from 

 freezing, all orders received before Nov. 15.

Kind Words from our Customers. 



I have just finished reading the A B C ot Strawberry 

 Culture. I never read a book with more interest. I 

 am a market-gardener, and have obtained my little 

 knowledge by reading, but never found a book so 

 simple and easy to understand as the above named. 



Thurmont, Md. X,. Sigmund. 



I like Gleanings because it is a clean paper edited 

 by a clean Christian man who isn't afraid to print his 

 mind about rum, tobacco, profanity, or any other un- 

 clean thing that Christ hates. I praise God that the 

 .'■anie salvation saves us both and any other person 

 who will let it. F. E. Whiting.

To Sell Outright==U. S. Patent Apiary 



Means are provided for supporting the hives so they 

 will be practically inaccessible to the various classes of 

 insects and small animals that, under ordinary condi- 

 tions, gain access to the interior of the hives, and de- 

 spoil the contents, and de.'troy the inhabitants. An- 

 other advantage is that the hives are so spaced in rela- 

 tion to each other that they are exposed to view on all 

 sides, and therefore freely accessible in all directions 

 to the bees. At the same time the hives are protected 

 from the sun and rain, and a neat warm housing is 

 provided in which the hives may be inclosed during 

 cold weather, thus securely protecting the bees. Will 

 sell State, county, or farm rights upon application.
