THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER 



197 



The ABC of Bee Culture. 



1900 Edition. The only Encyclopaedia on Bees. 500 Pages. 



The last edition, 5000 copies, issued in October, 1899, was exliansted in tlic 

 siiort space of one year. Even before tlie edition was out of the press, loOO copies 

 had been sold: and before thirty days had passed, 1000 more copies were 

 taken. We immediately set to work to print a new edition. While the edition of 

 1S99 was more thoroughly revised than any previous one, thatforlOOO has received 

 even larger additions of new matter, so that the book from beginning to end is 

 almost entirely new. It contains 500 double-column pages. It has been most 

 carefully gone over by Dr. C. C. Miller, who has prepared a new set of comments, 

 and by Prof. A. J. Cook, of Pomona College, Cal. As before, old subjects have 

 been rewritten. Descriptions of obsolete methods have in all cases been stricken 

 out and the very latest put in their place. 



The new edition will be ready for delivery about November 15. Send your 

 orders at once to get a copy of the first lot from the bindery. Orders filled in 

 rotation. Orders may be sent to the undersigned, or to any dealer in bee-keepers 

 supplies.

The Chautauqua 



Drying Bars 



is an invention for saving room in 

 crowded kitchens which will surely be 

 appreciated by every housekeeper. The 

 warmest and dryest air in a room is al- 

 ways overhead, and clothes hung upon 

 these radiating bars, which are attached 

 by a couple of screws to the wall, are not 

 only out of the way but in the best part 

 of the room for drying quickly and thor- 

 oughly. Price $1.00. Made only by 



The Empire Washer Co., 



Jamestown, N.Y. 



Bars are all raised or lowered by one motion.
