Ill order to supplement the offer of a nucleus of 

 bees. I think it was, to largest club-raiser for Gle.vn- 

 iNGS, I offer an " Ideal g-lass-front bee-veil." 



St. Albans, W. Va., Apr. 6, 1886. J. C. Capehart. 



GLEANINGS AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. 



My advertisement in Gi^eanings has brouffht me 

 more letters than any paper 1 ever advertised in, 

 and that is over two hundred. W. J. Hesser. 



Plattsmouth, Neb., March tiO, 188(5. 



gleanings '"SEMPER IDEM." 



1 like all of Gleanings, and when I like a thinu- 

 I'm not froing- to pull it all to pieces. I think 

 Gleanings is put together just as well as I could 

 do it, and it is Gleanings every time. Sometimes 

 1 do not see a number of Harper's Monthly for 

 yeai'fv; but when I do see one Jt is Harper's or noth- 

 ing: else, and Gleanings is the same way.

KIND WORDS FOR ERNEST. 



What excellent work Ernest is doing- on Glean- 

 ings! Perhaps you haven't noticed it, hut I have, 

 and T feel like congratulating- both you and him. 

 W. Z. Hutch iNsoN. 



Rogersville, Genesee Co., Mich., Mar. '2'i, 1886. 



[Thanks, friend Hutchinson, for your ver.ykind 

 words. If I have merited any encourag-ement from 

 one of the old veterans, I shall be happy to contin- 

 ue in this work; for I have sometimes felt as if I 

 ought to keep still till I " growed" a little more in 

 aplcultural learning.] Ernest. 



some pleased customers, etc. 



The hives, etc., ordered of you Feb. 'Z7, arrived 

 the 1st inst., and were unpacked to-day, and I deliv- 

 ered those ordered for my neighbors. Pleased'::' I 

 should say they were. You ought to have seen that 

 smile on their faces when they saw those tin 

 covers. They are far ahead of what we have been 

 getting. Every thing is here — nothing missing. 

 They cost us a little more than the Louisiana hi\es, 

 on account of thelongcr distance; but they xuit )nr 

 better, and I expect to patronize you hereafter. 



My bees are very strong- iu numbers, and have 

 plenty of stores, and are also getting a good deal of 

 honey from redbud and haw; also apjile- bloom. 

 Bees are beginning to swarm some in the neigh- 

 borhood. A. P. Wright.
