DOOLITTLE'S or ALEXANDER'S BOOKS. 



We are now prepared to send out promptly either 

 Alexander's or Doolittle's book and one year's sub- 

 scription to GLEANINGS for $1.00. If you have already 

 paid up for this year, and desire a copy of either of 

 these fifty-cent books, send us one more dollar, and 

 we will advance your subscription one year and give 

 you the choice of either book. 



Doolittle tells how to control swarming in the pro- 

 duction of fancy comb honey with any hive. Mr. Alex- 

 ander discusses a number of important problems; and 

 his conclusions, based on an experience of nearly fifty 

 years in the succcessful management of between five 

 hundred and seven hundred colonies, are interesting 

 and valuable.
