 He seems to be plain spoken too for the oth- 

 er day when writin to a complainer of his 'n 

 concernin his help leavin him and a good 

 share of the human race risin up agin him, 

 Latshaw said: "I assure you that nothing 

 is being done intentional to cause trouble on 

 my part as I have plenty of trouble in the 

 natural course of events without that." 

 Then he tells about honey bein stolen from 

 him and his enemies a pesterin of him and 

 says: "However, now I am getting a line 

 by which I may be able to be dragging them 

 around by the hair of the head before long, 

 then I look for smoother sailing for awhile 

 at least. ' ' I can 't help warmin up to Lat- 

 shaw when I read these deep down senti- 

 ments of his, for they ring true and bile up 

 out of real experience. They aint jest theory 

 like so much beekeepin literatoor is. Mr. 

 Latshaw knows what he 's talkin about, and 

 knows trouble when he sees it, I bet. A 

 man like me or Latshaw knows exactly what 

 it is not to do nothin intentional to cause 

 trouble on our part and yet get it in the 

 natural course of events in bucketfuls con-

■ THE DOMESTIC BEEKEEPER 



Successor to the Beekeepers Review, published monthly at Northstar, Michigan, at $1.00 per 

 year, by E. D. Townsend. Published for the honey-producer, by a honey-producer. Eveiry hon- 

 ey-producer should know and subscribe for the Domestic Beekeeper. The Domestic Beekeeper will 

 help you to produce a crop of honey; when harvested, it will help you to dispose of it to a good 

 advantage. Tliousands of dollars have been saved beekeepers by following the advice of the Do- 

 mestic beekeeper in the sale of honey. If you have received less than 25c per pound, in 60-lb. 

 cans, for your best 1918 crop of extracted honey, you are likely not a subscriber to the Domestic 

 Beekeeper, or, have not followed the advice of the Editor. Isn't it about time that you get out of 

 that "rut" and sell your honey to a better advantage? The Domestic Beekeeper for 1919 will 

 advise you from month to month what the Jobber is selling for and instruct you how to secure 

 HIS price for your product, which is usually two or three cents per pound more than HE will pay 

 you. Get neixt to this better way of selling before your 1919 crop is ready for the market, by 

 subscribing for the Domestic Beekeeper at once. 



From many kind letters received, we will submit three late ones which will give the reader a 

 fair idea of what our subscribers think of the Domestic Beekeeper. 



Remember that it does not cost Domestic Beekeeper subscribers a cent to sell their honey to a 

 good advantage, as we advertise it for them free of cost. 



Why not every one of the readers of Gi<eanings dig up a dollar and send it in at once and. 

 secure the twelve numbers of the Domestic Beekeeper for 1919. The three letters referred to above 

 follow : 



Liberty Center, Ohio, Nov. 12, 1918. 



The Domestic Beekeeper: I have for sale 16 

 60-lb. cans of clover honey that you may list in 

 your free list of those having honey for sale. I 

 take this opportunity to thank you for selling my 

 last year's crop. 



I think the late W. Z. Hutchinson and your- 

 self have done a good many more kind acts to 

 beekeepers than any other publication I know 

 of. I expect to read your Domestic Beekeeper 

 as long as I keep bees and can dig up the 

 price. I surely appreciate your kindness. 



S. A. Palmer. 



Continental, Ohio, Oct. 31st, 1918. 

 The Domestic Beekeeper: Please discontinue 

 my name in your honey-for-sale column, for I 

 am all sold out and am returning checks every 

 day. Wish I could have tilled all the orders 

 which came, as they surely came with a rush. 



md one large order by telegraph, which was 

 filled the next day. 



Your journal is surely the best honey-market 

 journal in the whole country, as it surely keeps 

 t;ib on the market. 



Had I seen the October number before naming 

 a price, W'ould have asked 27c and am sure it 

 would have all gone at that price, as I could 

 have sold three times as much at the 25c mark. 



Enclosed please find a dollar for 1919 sub- 

 scription to the Domestic, and thanks for your 

 valued help. Judson A. JONES. 



Bagnall, Michigan, Nov. 11th, 1918. 

 The Domestic Beekeeper: Please discontinue 

 my name in your free column of those having 

 honey for sale, as I am all .sold out. Sold my 

 white and buckwheat extracted honey in 60-lb. 

 cans f. o. b. here at 25c per pound. Thanking 

 you for past favors, I remain, 



C. J. Freeman.
