SPECIAL NOTICES 



By Oub Business Manager 



SECTION-BOXES. 



While we have been crowded with orders for hives 

 and supplies of all kinds, and our stock of most 

 articles is badly depleted, we still have a large stock 

 of choice sections which we can ship on first train 

 after receipt of order. If you have a good honey-flow, 

 and need more sections, remember we are in shape 

 to furnish them promptly. 



SWEET CLOVER AND ALFALFA MIXED. 



We have just received a shipment of seed from 

 California, which we bought for hulled white sweet 

 clover. The U. S. government seed expert pro 

 nounces it 28 per cent white sweet clover and about 

 72 per cent alfalfa, with a few weed seeds in it. We 

 offer it for 20 cts. per lb.; $1.80 for 10 lbs.; $16.80 

 per 100 lbs., bags included. W^e shall be pleased to 

 submit samples if interested. 



BUCKWHEAT SEED. 



We have a good stock of choice 

 seed, both silverhuU and Japanese, 

 sowing is rapidly approaching. Our 

 while present supply lasts, is 40 cts, 

 cts. for Vs bushel; $1.25 per bushel; 

 bushels, bag included in each case.

SECOND-HAND CANS. 



There is still an opportunity to get some of those 

 good second-hand 60-lb. honey-cans. As a rule we 

 do not recommend second-hand cans for good hon- 

 ey ; but these are selected, all questionable ones be- 

 ing thrown on the dump, and only those which we 

 know to Le sound and free from rust inside are sav- 

 ed. For amber or off grades of honey these should 

 be just as good as new cans. Price: $3.50 for 10 

 cases of two cans each; $7.50 for 25 cases; $25.00 

 for 100 ca'.es. 



LECTURES ON BEEKEEPING. 



We have arranged to continue the lectures on our 

 roof at 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, on luesdays and 

 Fridays from 11 to 12 o'clock, during May and 

 June. Tuesdays will le devoted to instructions for 

 beginners, handling 1 ees, taking swarms, preparing 

 beekeepers, the scientific side of the transformation 

 of nectar, the formation of wax, with some instruc- 

 tions as to the bacteriological side of foul brood, its 

 contagion, etc. Kindlv note that the hour is 11 to 

 12, on both Tuesday and Friday. 



BEESWAX WANTED. 



During the first four months of this year we have 

 used eighty thousand pounds of beeswax against 

 fifty thousand in the same period a year ago. Others 

 who use beeswax for foundation have also used an 

 increased amount, and as a result, there is a shortage 

 of available supplies which is becoming acute. If 

 any of our readers liave any wax or old combs from 

 which to make some, they will not soon find a better 

 market than exists at present. The rush for this 

 season will be past in four to six weeks, so that 

 >ou should lose no time in making shipment of any 

 available supply. We are prepared to pay any rea 

 sonable pri(*e — as much as you are likely to get any 

 where. Let us hear from you if you have any to 

 fuinish. 



Convention Notices 



There will be a field meeting of the New Jersey 

 Beekeepers' Association at the apiary of Geo. Grover, 

 near Trenton, on the Trenton-Lawrence trolley, June 

 25, 1913. Program later.

 Kind Words from our Customers 



LOOKING FORWARD TO THE IOOTH BIRTHDAY. 



My interest in the magazine holds because of 

 Our Homes, Poultry, and Gardening, and especially 

 because these are from the mind and pen of one of 

 my own age, and who, like me, is expecting to round 

 out at least one hundred years of life worth living. 

 I shall be 73 April 9. I am thinking (though not 

 yet invited) to be somewhere around in some capac- 

 ity when Mr. A. I. Root and Mr. T. B. Terry are 

 eating their birthday dinners. There will be no flesh 

 of any kind in mine, nor coffee nor tea nor other 

 similar poisons. I abandoned the use of coffee and 

 tea in 1874 ; of cigars later, and flesh later, but a 

 good while ago. Not since Nov. 1, 1886, when I 

 rallied from a dreadful illness and a pulse of 160, 

 have I consulted a physician or taken any medicine 

 for sickness. Foods wisely chosen, eaten, or denied, 

 have kept me pretty well balanced. Because of these 

 experiences, and the fact that Mr. Root is somewhat 

 like-minded, I want to keep up with his sayings in 

 Gleanings.
