PROF. A. J. COOK. 



This standard work on practical bee-keeping has just 

 been thoroughl}^ revised and brought down to date. About 

 100 pages and nearly 100 illustrations have been added, 

 which makes it now a superb volume of 544 pages, with 295 

 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 

 sale, which now bids fair to increavSe greatly.

 nal, who does not already possess a copy of Prof. Cook's 

 work, may have it, we wish to make the following
