WHAT OUIt OLD FRIEND W. H. SniULEY THINKS OF 

 VS. 



It is a keen pleasure to ileal with you, and I wish 

 there were a M'reat many more like yon. 

 Millgrove, Mich., Mar. 30. \V. H. Shiiu.ev. 



PERFECT SATISFACTION. 



The g-oods I ordered of you have s'iven perfect 

 satisfaction, and I have concluded that when we 

 need any thinp- in your lino to send to you for it. 



Pattonville, Te.\as. J. M. Crockett. 



I believe that all bee-men claim "kin," and, be- 

 sides, I have gotten it in my head that you are a 

 real good Methodist, and that we are brothers. 



P. H. Marbury. 



Hearn, Clark Co., Ark., April 9, 1886. 



I am well i)leased with f! leanings, especially the 

 Home Pniieis, and its high moral tone. As for the 

 mix, '• vai'iety is the spice of life." 



Daniel E. Bobbins. 



Payson, Adams Co , 111., Dec. 28, 1885. 



I received the goods all rights and was very much 

 pleased with them. 1 think that the ABC book is 

 .lust splendid, as it is gotten up in such nice style. 

 Your fiAV) saw-mandrel is a beauty. The freight 

 on goods was reasonable. H. H. Fish. 



Spencer, Iowa. 



rUTTINO THINGS UP SO NICELY. 



The goods have come to hand all right. You 

 make mo feel glad when I see your efforts to please 

 liy putting things up so nicely, and discounting 

 whenever >onr margin will bear it, even in the 

 smallest things. George RoON. 



Thorp's Spring-, Hood Co., Tex., May 3, 18S6. 



THE ADVANTAGE OF THE HUMBUG AND SWINDLE 

 DEPARTMENT. 



The maple syrup was received a few days ago. 

 We are well pleased with it. Your exposure of the 

 blueberry-plant fraud has saved me considerable 

 money, as I had sent for a price list, and had intend- 

 ed to send for some plants. S. M. Mohler. 



Covington, Miami Co., O., Apr. 1.1, 1886. 



THAT IMPORTED QUEEN. 



The impoi-ted queen is here and in good condition; 

 out of the ]2 lb. of lees that accompanied her, only 

 about 2.5 were dead, although they were three days 

 on the way. In less than two hours after they were 

 hived, the queen commenced to lay. Thanks for 

 your careful packing. Thos. & Ben.j. Young. 



LaSalle, III., Apr. 26, 1886. 



SEEK VE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, ETC. 



The knowledge you impart in bee culture is good, 

 but it is secondary to that other good quality you 

 display in jour writing- in bee culture, in preaching 

 the gospel. T ascribe your exquisite flavor of ap- 

 -plcs and honey not altogether to fresh air, but in a 

 great measure to the truth of the Spirit. See tJal. 

 ."i : 22. May the Ood of peace sanctify you wholly, 

 and preserve you i?ntil the coming of Christ. With 

 Christ in the heart the world is already a paradise. 

 East Camp, N. Y., Dec. 19, TS8.j. Philip Weck. 



THAT ABC BOOK. 



I am just in receipt of your beautiful book, and 

 can only say that my astonishment surpasses any 

 ttiing I could express, and I can only say that you 

 not only have my warmest thanks, but you may 

 rest assured that, if I can do any thing in the mat- 

 ter at all I Phall look to you as the source from 

 which I shall look for all niy gettings. I shall read 

 it up careful! V. and report. H. W. Neal. 



Wellsville, York Co., Pa. 



HOW A beginner SUCCEEDS AS PER INSTRUC- 

 TIONS IN THE A B C OF BEE CULTURE. 



I have been a student of yours through your 

 ABC book. I purchased one of Rev. Edwin Dud- 

 der, and, at the same time, one stand of Italian 

 bees, two years ago this month. 1 have transferred, 

 divided, and united weak swarms, hatched queens 



in the lamp-nursery, and iutrodu-ccd them to queen- 

 less swarms successfully. Your book has enabled 

 me to do this work, and it has been a great pleas- 

 ure to me, as well as a source of profit. I wish to ex- 

 press my thanks for the pains you have taken to 

 make bee culture a success for those having no ex- 

 ]3erienco. I use one style of hive— Langstroth Im- 

 proved, making them myself, and buying the broad 

 and narrow frames, section boxes, and foundation, 

 etc., of King & Aspinwall. As I look over your 

 book and study it I have a growing desire to speak 

 to you through the pen. C. M. Howell.
