BRITISH BEE-KEEPERS' GUIDE-BOOK. By 

 Thos Wm Cowan. This has been before the pub- 

 lic so long that it needs no description nor com- 

 mendation. It has passed through 14 editions, and 

 has been printed in French, German, Danish, Swed- 

 ish, Russian, and Spanish. Mr. Cowan stands in 

 the front rank of bee-keepers, and in some respects 

 at the very head, and his book is the result ot his 

 long experience and extensive reading. If the book 

 is particularly valuaoie in any one respect it is in 

 regard to the treatment of diseases peculiar to bees. 

 Handsome binding, 173 pages. 90 cts, postage 10 

 cts. extra. 



HONEY-MAKERS, THE. By Miss Margaret W 

 Morley. This is a story of the life of the bee told 

 in very interesting style — how it lives, gathers 

 honev. and all about it. While clothing tiie gen- 

 eral subject with an air of poetry, it seems to be 

 entirely within the limits of known facts while at- 

 tempting to deal with them. We believe it will 

 o-ive all thoughtful bee-keepers a greater liking for 

 their business to read it. Probably it has more to 

 do with the curious traditions connected \vi_th bees 

 than any other book of the kind. Price ^l.lo. Post- 

 age, 10 cts extra. 



LIFE OF TIIE BEE. By Maurice Maeterlinck. 

 This is a beautiful book of 427 pages. While it has 

 been praised highly by some, it must be admitted 

 that as a bee-book it is not a safe guide ; in fact, it 

 does not even pretend to teach one how to open 

 a hive. But in spite of its glaring inaccuracies as 

 to bees, it is a wonderful book, and has the warm- 

 est recommendation of the Briti.sli lire Journal, the 

 Irish Bee Journal, and many others. To say the 

 best it is very interesting, but should be read care- 

 fully so as to nift truth from fiction, which latter 

 the author deals in with all the freedom of poetic 

 license. The typography of the book is of the 

 highest order. Cloth-bound. Price $1.30. Post- 

 age 10 cts. extra. 



HOXEY-BEE, THE. By Thos. Wm. Cowan. 

 Gives the natural history, anatomy, and physiology 

 of the bee in a neat and concise style. 220 pages, 

 136 illustrations, cloth. Price 95 cts. Postage 5 

 cts extra. 



MERRYBANKS AND HIS NEIGHBOR. By. A. I. 

 Root. This is the title of a little book of 210 pages 

 and (58 illustrations. It narrates the alternate fail- 

 ure and success of a beginner who ultimately, 

 through much tribulation, becomes a successful bee- 

 man and a power for good in Onionville. Appro- 

 priate original cuts, many of them humorous, are 

 interspersed here and there, representing some of 

 the droll experiences which a beginner with bees 

 somtimes passes through. Besides bees, it talks of 

 other rural pursuits, such as gardening, maple 

 sugar making, etc. Price loc ; 3 cts. less when sent 

 with other goods by freight or express. 



BOOKS ON RURAL SUBJECTS. 



Rural industries are so closely connected with 

 bee-keeping that we do not think it out of place 

 to include here a few rural books of our publica- 

 tion. 



A B C OF POTATO CULTURE. 

 This is T. B. Terry's first and most 

 masterly work. The book has had a 

 large sale, and has been reprinted in 

 foreign languages. It was revised 

 and enlarged in 1901. and the third 

 edition makes 290 pages, half the size 

 of this, fully illustrated, and bound 

 in leatherette cover printed in gold. 

 Price 45c ; by mail, 50c. In cloth 



WINTER CARE OF HORSES AND 

 CATTLE. This is friend Terry's sec- 

 ond book in regard to farm matters ; 

 but it is so intimately connected with 

 his potato book that it reads almost 

 like a sequel to it. If you have only 

 a horse or a cow it will surely pay 

 you to invest in the book. It has 44 

 pages and 4 cuts. Price 25c ; by 

 mail, 30c. 



TILE DRAINAGE. By W. I. 

 Chamberlain. This is a valuable 

 companion to our other rural books. 

 It embraces the experience of forty 

 years of one of our foremost agricul- 

 turists, who has laid with his own 

 hands over fifteen miles of tile. The 

 price is 35c ; by mail, 40c. 



TOMATO CULTURE. In three 

 parts. By J. W. Day, D. Cummins, 

 and A. I. Root ; a most valuable trea- 

 tise, embracing field culture, forcing 

 under glass, and raising plants for 

 market. Valuable to any one raising 

 garden stuff of any kind aside from 

 tomatoes. 150 pages ; illustrated. 

 I'rice 35c ; mail, 40c. 



MAPLE SUGAR AND THE SU- 

 GAR-BUSH. By Prof. A. J. Cook. 

 Price 23c ; by mail, 30c. This is by 

 the same author as the Manual of the 

 Apiary, and is most valuable to all 

 who are interested in the product of 

 our sugar-maples. No one who makes 

 maple sugar or syi'up should be with- 

 out it ; 44 pages, fully illustrated. 



A B C OF CARP CULTURE. In 

 paper covers, illustrated. This is a 

 work of 70 pages 7x10, written by 

 Geo. Finley and A. I. Root, and the 

 best authority on the subject of carp 

 culture yet in print. The rearing of 

 carp is" a pleasant and profitable 

 amusement. This book will tell you 

 all about it. Price 25 cts. ; by mail 

 5 cts. extra. 



WHAT TO DO, AND HOW TO BE HAPPY 

 WHILE DOING IT. The above book, by A. I. 

 Root, is a compilation of papers published in 

 Gleanings in Bee Culture, in 1886. '7, and '8. 

 It is intended to solve the problem of finding occu- 

 pation for those scattered over our land, out of em- 

 ployment. The suggestions are principally about 

 finding employment around j'our own homes. The 

 book is mainly upon market-gardening, fruit cul- 

 ture, poultry-raising, etc. Price in paper covers, 50 

 cts : cloth, 75 cts. If ordered by freight or express, 

 deduct 8 and 10 cts. respectively.

THE A B C OF STRAWBERRY 



CULTURE. 280 pages, fully illus- 

 trated ; revised and enlarged during 

 1901. Price 45c; by mail. 5c extra. 

 This is also one of Terry's books, and 

 has received some very high words 

 of praise. Who that keeps bees does 

 rot also have a little garden patch".' 

 If vou would learn to raise in it that 

 most luscious of all fruits, the strnw- 

 bcrrv. with the best results, you can not be with- 

 out this little book. Even if you don't grow straw- 

 berries you will be the better for reading it. Pages
