THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



Jan. 



YOU OUGHT TO KNOW 



whether it is profitable to use founda- 

 tion in the brood-nest when hiving 

 swarms, and which is the most i.rofitable, 

 large or small swarms. Extensive and elaborate experiments have been made upon these points the 

 past season at the Michigan Experiment Apiary, and a report appears in the Oct. Review. The reading 

 of this report may be a surprise to some. The publishing of these reports is one of the best things the 

 Review has ever done. I am sincere when I say that no bee-keeper can afford not to read them. They 

 began in July, and the Review will be sent from that time to the end of the year for 75 cts., and with it 

 will be sent the 50-cent book. "Advanced Bee Culture."

Supplies for 1894. 



We wish to call the attention of 

 all bee keepers and dealers to the 

 fact that the season of 1894 is fast 

 approaching. We are now making 

 arrangements for supplying our cus- 

 tomers promptly and with the very 

 best goods during the season. Our 

 stock of Basswood and Pine lumber 

 is probably larger than that of any 

 manufacturer in this line in 

 America. It is all first quality and 

 very dry having been manufactured 

 during the two past winters. We 

 shall be in position to furnish sup- 

 ply dealers with our goods at low- 

 est prices, notwithstanding that our 

 goods are guaranteed to be superior 

 to any other make. It pays to 

 handle first class goods. You then 

 have no complaints, no allowances 

 to make on prices, and your custom 

 ers stay by you. Dealers will find 

 it to their advantage to get our 

 prices before making their 1894 

 contracts.
