PROR A- J. COOK. 



460 Pages— 16th (1899^ Edition— 18th Thou- 

 sand— $1. 25 postpaid. 



A description of the book here is quite unnec- 

 essary — it IS simply the most complete scientific 

 and practical bee-book publisht to-day. Fully 

 illustrated, and all written in the most fascinat- 

 ing- stvle. The author is also too well-known to 

 the whole bee-world to require any introduction. 

 No bee-keeper is fully equipt, or his library 

 complete, without The Bee-Keepers' Guide. 



This 16th and latest edition of Prof. Cook's 

 mag-nificeut book of 460 paires, in neat and sub- 

 stantial cloth binding, we propose to GIVE away

 ting NEW subscribers for the American Bee 

 Journal. 



Given for TWO New Subscribers. 



The followmjr offer is made to present sub- 

 scribers only, and no premium is also g-iven to 

 the two NEW subscribers— simply the Bee Jour- 

 nal for one year: 



Send us two new subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal (with $2.00), and we will mail you a copy 

 of Prof. Cook's book FREE as a premium. 

 Prof. Cook's book alone sent for $1.25, or we club

 $1.75. But surely anybody can get only TWO 

 NEW SUBSCRIBERS to the Bee Journal for a year, 

 and thus g-et the book as a premium. Let every 

 body try for it. Will YOU have one ?

in a good hoiiej'-flow the bees will 

 draw out, the comb to the edge of the 

 section and fasten it to the cleats on 

 the fences, thereby causing a row of 

 cells to be uncapt in removing the sec- 

 tions. However, we would like to hear 

 the experience of others.

Cider Brandy for Bee-Stings. 



Here is an incident I was told by an 

 old bee-keeper the other day ; there 

 may be something in it, but I do not 

 say there is : 



While talking with a bee-keeper the 

 other day about bee-stings, he said he 

 once witnest a very severe case which 

 occurred to a person who started to 

 hive another swarm of bees, having 

 hived one that same day. It had clus- 

 tered on a limb of a pear-tree, and he 

 had advanced within about two rods of 

 the cluster when they came for him, 

 posthaste, and he was nearly covered 

 in less time than it takes to tell it. He 

 retreated toward his home, which was 

 a little distance away. On reaching it 

 he found himself completely blind 

 from the effects of the stings. His 

 wife went to the cellar for a pitcher of 

 cider brandy, as they used to keep it 

 handy. She returned with it and put 

 it on the table by the patient, and went 

 to get a glass, but he was suffering so 

 much that he took the pitcher and 

 drank its contents, which was enough 

 to intoxicate five men, tho he failed to 

 feel its strength when in that condi- 

 tion ; but the poison from the bee- 

 stings came out from the wounds like 

 gum from a tree, and he recovered in a 

 few days. 



Now, Mr. Editor, what do you think 

 of that ? 



The honey crop is fair from bass- 

 wood and sumac, with a good prospect 

 for a fall flow. White clover failed. If
