pose thai Doolittle queen has been worth to 

 you— that is, how much money has this apiary 

 given you l)foause of the fact that every queen 

 is of that Doolittle strain instead of beinfT of 

 the hit-and-miss kind which most of the 

 Cuban bee-lcivpers get along with ! Haven't 

 you actually saved $200, the price Ernest put 

 on our choice (|ueen ? 



"Why, Mr. Root, that Doolittle queen has 

 been worth ./ice hundred dull<irx to me, count-

 have been used to stock others of our apiar- 

 ies; and I am testing some of her daughters 

 with the view of using them for breeders

Now, friend Woodward may have been a 

 little extravagant in the above; but I will 

 leave it to our veterans in bee-culture — is it 

 not possible that a bee-keeper can be benefited

 breeder! 



Strong Colonies for Wintering. 



Kepler found that that the ratio of squares 

 and cubes determined the distances of the 

 planets and their periodic times, but long be- 

 fore Kepler's day the bees found that the very 

 same ratio, /. c, the proportion of volume to 

 surface would enable them in cluster to sur- 

 vive the winter. They lound that as they in- 

 creased the size of their clusters the radiating 

 and cooling surfaces proportionally dimin- 

 ished, and if they made their clusters large 

 enough, and the cooling areas small enough, 

 and they could find food to eat, they could

PEN 



This pen consists of a hard 

 rubber holder, tapering to a 

 round point, and writes as 

 ■smoothly as a lead-pencil. The 

 point and needle of the pen 

 are made of platina, alloyed 

 with iridium — substances of 

 great durability which are not 

 affected by the action of any 

 kind of ink. 



They hold sufficient ink to 

 write 10,000 words, and do not 

 leak or blot. 



As they make a line of unl* 

 form 'Width at all times 

 they are nnequaled lor 

 ruling' purposes. 



Pens are furnished in neat 

 paper boxes. Each pen is ac- 

 companied with full directions, 

 hller and cleaner. 



Best Manifolding Pen on 

 THE Market. 



19,000 Postmasters use this 

 kind of a pen. The Editor of

This is a true story of the poor and unfor- 

 tuaate in city life. Miss Horton, the author, 

 is a deaconess whose experiences among the 

 city poverty stricken are both interesting and 

 sad. This particular short story — 60 pages, 

 5x6% inches, bound in paper cover — gives 

 somewhat of an insight into a little of the 

 hard lot of the poor. Price, postpaid, only 10
