TempusFugit! 



Two Latin words — written hundreds of 

 times in our school-days — are especially ap- 

 plicable to-day. TIME FLIES 1 Another 

 new year is fairly started. Days, weeks, 

 months are fast speeding away. Almost 

 before we realize it, spring and liee time 

 will be here. 



Most encouraging reports are being re- 

 ceived, and indicate a great yield of clover 

 honey the coming season. Surely now, if 

 ever, the beekeeper should be prepared. 

 Why not secure now the supplies you will 

 probably need, and have your hives made 

 up and painted, and all appliances ready 

 before the rush of spring work is on ? Re- 

 member, too, the January three per cent 

 discount, which, on a fair-sized order, will 

 more than pay your freight. 



Of course, you will want ROOT'S 

 GOODS, the time-tried and true, and ship- 

 ment from "OHIO'S BEE CENTER." 

 Ask for a catalog if you haven't one.

LEARN BEEKEEPING from the Beginning 



$1.00 



"First Lessons In Beekeeping" and the 

 American Bee Journal, one year, Both for Only 



" First Lessons in Beekeeping " is a 190-page book telling all that the beginner 

 need know. . . It has an attractive paper cover, and many illustrations. 

 "Doelittle's Scientific Queen-rearing," and the C^l ^O 

 American Bee Journal, one year, Both for Only <9 I ■ w w 



Doollttle's "Sclentlflc Queen-rearing" book contains 126 pages, and is bound in leatherette with 

 round corners. It tells In the clearest way possible just how the famous queen-breeder, Mr. G. M. 

 Doollttle, rears the best of queen bees in perfect accord with Nature's way. As all know, Mr. 

 DooUttle has spent some 40 years in rearing queens and producing honey. He has no superior as 

 a queen-breeder. You can learn to rear fine queens by following his directions. 



The beginner will want " First Lessons;" the older beekeeper should have " Scientific Queen- 

 rearing:." You will not regret it if you send your Sl.OO now and get either one of these books 

 with the JOURNAL, as the JOURNAL itself is worth more than the total cost.
