A Little Dose of Reason. 



By the Bet Crank- . 



Lord Avebury is a fa- 

 mous British scientist and 

 beeenthusiast. In address- 

 ing a recent gathering of 

 French and English bee- 

 men in London, the daily 

 papers report that he said 

 that his observations had 

 led him to believe that the 

 movements of the bee are 

 not automatic, but they had 

 what Darwin called "a lit- 

 tle dose of reason." He 

 called attention to the fact that they 

 have five eyes, two of which are 

 constructed on a different plane from 

 the other three, and he believes that 

 they may have certain senses un- 

 known to man, including the power 

 of seeing rays of light invisible to us. 



All this places a bee on a pedestal 

 beside man, who has a larger dose 

 of reason, and who — if he is a real 

 bee-man — proves it by ordering his 

 supplies where he is always sure of 

 getting bright, fresh, clean stock. Catalog free. 



and where he gets it before 

 be has begun to expect it, 

 iust as Mr. Reynolds did. 

 Under date of July 21, 

 Mr. Clarence Reynolds, of 

 Center, Indiana, writes : 



My order was received in good condi- 

 tion. I want to thank you for your 

 promptness, for the goods arrived two 

 days after I sent the order — sooner than 

 1 thought it possible for the goods to come. 



I carry a full line of 

 Root's goods, and sell at 

 factory prices. 

 During this month I am offering 

 a discount of seven per cent for cash 

 orders for goods for next season's 

 use. In October the discoun; will 

 be six per cent. I believe any bee- 

 keeper can benefit himself by taking 

 advantage of this liberal offer. 



I buy beeswax and pay highest 

 market prices, cash or trade. When 

 I say cash I mean that 1 remit the 

 day your wax arrives. 



Walter S. Pouder,
