"BEES AND BEE-KEEPING," BY CHE.>^HIHE.

 second volume, a review of which you will lltid (jii 

 another pag-e. Vol.1, is " Scientific," and ^'ol. 11. 

 " Practical." Vol. I. contains 336 pages, and Vol. 

 II. has 650 pages. Both have very many engravings, 

 almost all of which are original. Price of Vol. I.. 

 J12..50; Vol. II., S3.00, or $5.25 for the two, postpaid. 



OF INTEREST TO OUR CANADIAN READERS. 



We have at Cheltenham, Ont., one of our latest 

 improved 12-inch foundation-mills. Express charg- 

 es and duty to get it there were f 10,30, and the mill 

 here is worth $30,00, being geared at both ends, and 

 having also a back gear. We will sell it f . o. b. at 

 Cheltenham for $35.00. We can mail you a small 

 sample of the foundation made on it, if you wish to 

 see before buying i^^ 



1214-INCH CIGAR-BOX PLANER FOR $50.00. 



We have at New London, Wis., a 12'/4-in. cigar-box 

 planer, made specially for planing light stuff, 's 

 thick and above. It originally cost us f 100, and was 

 used for planing sections before we began to saw 

 them smooth. Before it was shipped to Wisconsin 

 it was babbitted and put in first-class running or- 

 der, virtually as good as new. To make a quick 

 sale, we offer it for $.50. For the man who has a 

 place for such a planer it is a bargain. 



KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



THAT WHEELBARROW. 



The wheelbarrow at hand in good shape, and it is 

 a daisy. It is too nice to use, only on the streets. 



Cyrus Wilson. 

 Fairmount, Ind., April 18. 1888. 



I think your wheelbarrow is complete in every 

 respect. It is a beauty. J. B. Spellman. 



Pine Grove, Texas, April 17, 1888. 



THE SMOKER A BETTER ARTICLE. 



I received the goods in good order. They were 

 better than I expected, especially the smoker, 

 which was a better article, and, sent through the 

 mail, it cost less money than, it could be bought for 

 here. D. M. Dorsev. 



Rainier, Ore., Mar. 23, 1888. 



The extractor I bought of you, and other goods, I 

 received. They are the best lot of goods that anybody 

 around here ever saw. I am very much pleased 

 with them. Marshall Swain. 



Edwards, N. Y., April 16, 1888. 



SIIiENCE GIVES CONSENT. 



1 have been getting small lots of goods of you 

 frequently for the last three years, and never told 

 you whether they came all right or not, but they 

 did every time, and always as good as represented, 

 and some a great deal better than stated in your 

 price list. I am one of the " silence gives consent" 

 men; so if you don't hear from me in answer to an 

 order for goods I get of you, it is always perfect.

Comet, Summit Co., O., Feb. 27, 1888.
