PAINT WITHOUT OIL 



Remarkable Discovery that 



Cuts Down the Cost of Paint 



Seventy-five Per Cent. 



A Free Trial Package is Mailed to Every 

 One Who Writes. 



A. L. Rice, a prominent manufacturer of Adams, 

 N. Y., has discovered a process of making a new kind 

 of paint without the use of oil. He calls it Powdrpaint. 

 It comes in the form of a dry powder, and all that is 

 required is cold water to make a paint weather-proof, 

 fire-proof, and as durable as oil paint. It adheres to 

 any surface, wood, stone, or brick, spreads and looks 

 like oil paint, and costs about one-fourth as much. 



Write to Mr. A. L. Rice, Manufacturer, 8 North St., 

 Adams, N. Y., and he will send you a free trial pack- 

 age, also color-card and full information showing you 

 who you can save a good many dollars. Write to-day.

A Fifty-Cent Bee-Book, Bound in Cloth, and 

 Gleanings for one Year, for $1.25. 



WE have made special arrangements with the publishers of the Farm 

 Journal by which we are able to supply our customers with a 

 very neat, cloth-bound, beautifully printed, and illustrated in half- 

 tone, copy of the Biggie bee-book. It is only 5/2x4 in., by fa in. thick- 

 just right to carry in the pocket. We have carefully gone over this little 

 work, and consider it orthodox in its teachings throughout. It is just the 

 thing for the busy man who would like to get a bird's-eye view of bee- 

 keeping, and who has not the time to read the more comprehensive works. 

 The book is, in fact, bee-keeping in a nutshell, boiled down, containing 

 only the best practices known to the profession. 



IT IS A LITTLE GEM 



Beginners especially will find it very helpful; and as a companion to our 

 more comprehensive work, the A B C and X Y Z of Bee Culture, nothing 

 could be better. A reading of the little book will give one a brief and 

 comprehensive idea of the business as a whole. The larger work will 

 give the details. 



We will include the A B C and the Biggie book both at $1.75. The regular list 

 price of the two is $2.00. 



Or we will include Gleanings, ABC, and the Biggie book for $2.50.
