BULLDOG SUSPENDERS FOR CHRISTMAS. 



Most American men are well acquainted with the merits of 

 the famous Bulldog suspenders. For those who are on the 

 lookout for Christmas presents for their men friends, we believe 

 the advertisement of Hewes & Potter, who make these sus- 

 penders, will prove extremely interesting just at this time. 

 There are many readers of this journal who will take their of- 

 fer of a " Bulldog " comb and case for a dime, accompanied by 

 a copy of " Style; or. How to Dress Correctly." Their ad- 

 dress is Hewes & Potter, Dept. 3298, 87 Lincoln St., Boston. 



CHRISTMAS BOX OF FRUIT. 



One of the best possible Christmas presents is a box of Cal- 

 ifornia dried and canned fruits as put up by our advertisers, the 

 California Fruit Products Co. They arrange these boxes in 

 various combinations to suit the purse. This will make an ex- 

 cellent present, rather out of the ordinary, and yet very useful 

 in almost any household. It should be noted that the freight 

 is prepaid is all cases, so there is no trouble to be anticipated 

 on that score. Many of our readers are so situated that they 

 have some difficulty in getting such an assortment of fruit at a 

 reasonable price in their own neighborhood. It will be easier 

 for many simply to order from California direct. 



IRRIGATED LAND ON EASY TERMS. 



Any one on the outlook for a place to make a home can not 

 do better than carefully study the advertisement of the Bur- 

 lington Railway, in another column. There are no more de- 

 sirable lands on earth than these irrigated tracts in the North- 

 west. Crops are absolutely certain. Not only so, but every 

 thing raised is of fine quality, and the crops are large. Fur- 

 thermore, the prices obtained are excellent on account of the 

 large number of miners, who earn good pay. The climate is 

 salubrious and pleasant. A farmer can hardly expect ever to 

 find any thing better in his line. These western places have 

 very good school facilities — usually better than eastern places 

 with a larger population. Churches are numerous wherever 

 there is a settlement of people, and all up-to-date improve- 

 ments are adopted. If you want land we earnestly advise a 

 trip to look over the situation for yourself. Mr. Clem Deaver 

 is a well-posted land man employed by the Burlington to see 

 that settlers get the right place, where they will succeed be- 

 yond a doubt. 



OUR CHRISTMAS ISSUE. 



As is our usual practice now, we will issue a special Christ- 

 mas issue of Gleanings. Of course, our whole staff of con- 

 tributors will be represented on its pages, and all possible care 

 will be used in selecting matter suitable for the bee-keeping 

 fraternity. We expect to make our Christmas issue our best 

 for the whole year, and for this purpose we shall use quite free- 

 ly the best illustrations we can secure. Of course, our regular 

 readers know we charge no more for our Christmas number than 

 for any other. We intend to print a far larger edition to allow 

 for a much greater demand than ordinary and have enough to 

 go around. The cost is necessarily far greater than for an or- 

 dinary issue, and we hope our readers will appreciate our ear- 

 nest efforts to provide an extra-large intellectual bill of fare. 

 They can, if they choose, do much to help us make it a finan- 

 cial success by showing the Christmas number to any and all 

 bee-keepers who do not now subscribe to Gleanings. They 

 can do a great service in this way; and any thing done for us 

 in this manner will be highly esteemed as a favor. We be- 

 lieve there are a large number of bee-keepers not now sub- 

 scribers to Gleanings who ought to be. In fact, many bee- 

 keepers are losing money and pleasure by not sending in their 

 subscription. We should like to get in touch with these back- 

 ward bee-keepers; and this extra-fine number will give us the 

 opportunity to appeal with force to them. Should you not care 

 to lend your own copy of the Christmas number we will gladly 

 send a sample copy wherever requested. Just send the name 

 and address of your friend and we will attend to the rest. A 

 little later you can ask him how he enjoys reading Glean- 

 ings, and if he wou.'d like to join you as a subscriber. Most 

 of our old subscribers have done this in the past, and we great- 

 ly appreciate their efforts to help us build up a great bee-jour- 

 nal. Without their assistance we should certainly have fail- 

 ed. Having helped us once we think they will help us again. 

 In any event, we take this opportunity to thank all who have 

 rendered us assistance in the past, and also those who will 

 help us now. We can not get a great circulation without the 

 cordial co-operation of our present subscribers, hence this ap- 

 peal to their good nature. With a larger field we can afford to 

 make further improvements on this journal, and make every 

 number equal to the Christmas issue. While we are animated 

 by selfish motives in thus desiring to build up our circulation, it 

 will be observed that, the larger our subscription-list is, the 

 better journal we can turn out.
