Dr. Miller's New Book 



SENT BY RETURN MAIL. 



The book contains 328 pages, is bound in handsome cloth, with gold 

 letters and design ; it is printed on best book-paper, and illustrated with 

 over 100 beautiful original half-tone pictures, taken by Dr. Miller himself. 

 It is unique in this regard. ■ ^ ^^ 



The first few pages of the new book are devoted to an interesting 

 biographical sketch of Dr. Miller, telling how he happened to get i°to 

 bee-keepincr. Seventeen years ago he wrote a small book, called A Year 

 Among the" Bees," but that little ^ork has been out of print for a number 

 of years While some of the matter used in the former book is found in 

 the new one, it all reads like a good new story of successful bee-keep- 

 ing by one of the masters, and shows in minutest detail just how Dr. Mil- 

 ler does things with bees.
