ADVANCED BEE CULTURE. By W. Z. Hutchinson; Revised 

 Edition. This is a very unusual work — we might say indis- 

 pensable to any one who is thinking seriously of becoming a 

 specialist in apiculture. The author himself has been a special- 

 ist and right down to the present time he is in closest touch with 

 these methods: and nothing now in print could be of more benefit 

 to the practical bee-keeper than this book. It is fully illustrated, 

 well printed, and is sure to please. Price by mail, $1.00; 10 cts. 

 less by freight or express. 



HOW TO KEEP BEES. By Anna Botsford Comstock. This 

 is a charmingh- written manual for amateurs, describing in the 

 clearest language all necessary details. The authoress combines 

 enthusiasm, literary ability, and a knowledge of bee-keeping into 

 a goodly volume. Having herself made a start in the bee-busi- 

 ress, she fully appreciates the perplexities of the situation and 

 makes provision accordingly. The book is well suited to the 

 .vants of the suburbanite who wishes a hobby which will give 

 somethirg by way of return for labor and capital expended, or 

 those who wish to keep only a small apiary either for pleasure or 

 profit. If there is any better book than this for the purpose in- 

 dicated, we do not know of It. Cloth bound, 228 pages, $1.00 

 postpaid; by freight or express, 10 cts. less.

 keeping, and who has not the time to read the more comprehen- 

 sive works. The book is boiled down, containing only the best 

 practices known. Price by mail, .50 cts.; .5 cts. less if sent by 

 freight or express. 



A MODERN BEE- FARM. By Simmins. is one of those books 

 which will cause you to sit up and take notice if you are a real 

 live bee-keeper with lots of formic acid in your blood. The 

 author is an English bee-keeper of note, who not only knows and 

 understands bee culture in his own home land, but is as well an 

 earnest student of American apicultural methods. He is not very 

 orthodox in his views, but his book is all the better for that, see- 

 ing he wants to take us cut of the ruts. You can read the book 

 right straight through as it runs along like a narrative or a novel. 

 Cloth bound, 4.30 pages, 1904; price $2.00 postpaid; by freight or 

 express. 1.5 cts. less.
