THE MEDINA S.'WINGS DEPOSIT BANK. 



This is one of the sund financial institutions of the Western 

 Reserve of Ohio. With no great flourish of trumpets it has 

 achieved great success, and now has depostors in dii parts of 

 the Union. This is rather out of the ordinary for a bank situ 

 ated in a county town of no great importance; but the fa t that 

 it is in the center of a rich agricultural region gives it fine op- 

 portunity to loan its money on g >od farm security that is never 

 likoly to deteriorate in value. It does not have to go far to 

 place its money in good investments, nor is there any specu- 

 lation required. Such a condition practically eliminates losses, 

 for its man igers and directors are car-^ful, prudent financiers 

 who take no chances wdateVt-r, so that the secret of its success 

 is very easily explained. If you have any money for safe 

 keeping, with a fair interest added, p-rhaps it may be wrll to 

 cor espond with th Medina Savings Deposit Bank. They are 

 nice people to deal with. 



THE LORE OF THE HONEY-BEE. 



The above is a new book on the life and work of the bees. 

 It is on the "same general plan as Maurice Maeterlinck's mas- 

 terpiece, "The Life of thtBec," but is far more accurate. The 

 author, Mr. Tickner Edward>'S, is not only accurately informed 

 on practical bee-keeping but is well up on the science of the 

 honey-bee. He is not so facile a writer as our modern Shake- 

 speare (Msterlinck) yet he is a g fted au hot, and writes with 

 fluency, ease, and fine diction. The Lore of the Honey- 

 bee is one of tnose books the bee-keeper will buy to read 

 ihro"gh carefully during the long winter evenings wnen his pets 

 are snugly asleep in the cellar. Aft^r he has -ead it through he 

 will commence right over agiin, as it makes good reading — 

 for a bee keeper. It contains a number of beauiifully executed 

 eng-avings, some of great interest. One is a fac-simile of 

 Butler's " Bees Madrigtll " copied from the edition of 1623, 

 giving both wofds and music. The half-tone work is excel- 

 lency well done, and the typography is in keepi g with it. 



Some of the ideas advanced by the author are calculated to 

 cause the averag:^ bee-keeper to sit ud and take notice. It is 

 evident the bee has b-'en well studied by the author, and that 

 the striking features of bee life are familiar to him, but mean 

 someihing different from what the ord nary bee-keeper be- 

 liev'is to be the truth. This is all done in an ea»y, graceful 

 manner that is su e to win many readers. 



The work is d -dicated to h's friend, Mr. T. W. Cown, 

 chairman of the Bri'i-h B e-^eepers' Association. The pub- 

 lishers are Me;huen & Co., of Londin, England. For price see 

 advertisemint elsewhere in ihis j jurnal. 



MAKING THE HENS LAY WINTER EGGS. 



It is now well known where the mon y is in the poultry 

 business. It is not in produci'-g eggs in summer when poultry- 

 fruit is cheap, neither is it in producing ear'y chickens. Where 

 the expert shows his skill is in producing eggs when they ate 

 worth 50 or 60 cts. a dozen, which, of course, is around Christ- 

 mastide. Tnere are no bugs, grasshoppers, grubs, and other 

 insect food to be obtained then -o ;hat, perforce, we must find 

 a cheap substiiute. There is not enough protein ( Ibumen) in 

 two bushe s of corn to produce a doz-n eggs. Fre-h-cut raw 

 bone will do ihe business fcr us. In fact, hens can be made 

 to lay more eggs in winter tf an in summer. Mr, H. B. Hum- 

 phrey, manufacturer of the Op^n-hopper bone-cutter beating 

 uis name, says he can do it and we believe it. judg ng from 

 what others have said about green-cut bone. He cites an in- 

 stance of a man owning 70 hens that aver.,ged 40 to 50 eggs a 

 day during December. Janu.ir> . and February, ge.ting occasion- 

 ally 5S eggs. Sucn a man is a succe sful poulfyman. 



If you desire more information relative lo these helpful bone- 

 cutters write to the manufacturer, H. B. Humphrey, Joliet, III. 



SUBURBAN LIFE. 

 One of the handsomest magazines published in this or any 

 oth»r country is Suburban Life. Recently it has taken on a 

 new lease of life, and in time will p'obably lead all o her 

 magazines of its kind, though it is, lomparatively speaking, 

 very young in years. Its publishers are ainong the most enter- 

 prising firms in America, who will not hesitate to spend 

 money to make it the recognized leader in the field it occu- 

 pies. These fancy country magazin-s are doing a gr at deal 

 to make farming poiilar among the y"ung people by showii g 

 them the beaut. ful homes other folks have in the country, ad 

 also how their own farm can be imp'oved to any extent by the 

 judicious expenditure of b'ains, time, and money. M iny 

 farmer boys will not believe farm life can be made so atira t- 

 ive unt 1 they see the snlendid pictures which adorn the pages 

 of Suburban Life. The girls are delighted f^ see the pictures 

 of the interio' furnishings of the country homes brlonging to 

 others more fortunately siiuat-d in som respects. Fom these 

 pictures young ladies gain ideas which would be difli.ult for 

 them to obtain in any other manner. Th usands of readers 

 have put these ideas into practical use, and many an American 

 farm home is the happier and brighter for it. By proper atten- 

 ti .n to iandscap" gardening. 90 per cent of our farm-houses c^n 

 be set oflf to g eat idvantuge. At present they look too pla'n 

 .md uninviting. Look at Ihe question in ihis 1 ght, and you 

 will decide tnat a subscription to Subuyban Life is a cheap in- 

 vestment.
