PROF. A. I. COOK. 



This standard work on practical bee-keeping has just 

 been thoroughly rev-ised and brought down to date. About 

 100 pages and nearly 100 illustrations have been added,

 fine illustrations. It is printed on clear white paper, and 

 is bound in elegant brown cloth, gold-lettered. 



Prof. Cook has been one of the leading contributors to 

 the American Bee Journal for a quarter of a century. He 

 is well known to bee-keepers everywhere. He is an author- 

 ity on bees and related subjects. His book has had a large
