Black and Hybrid Q ueens For Sale. 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they want to dispose of, we will insert notices free of 

 charge, as below. We do this because there is hardly value 

 enough to these queens to pay for buying them up and keep- 

 ing them in stock; and yet it is oftentimes quite an accommo- 

 dation to those who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



For sale, 13 black and hybrid queens; blacks 25c 

 each; hybrids, 40c each. 



E. A. Liggett, Leesville, Ohio. 



For sale, 35 hybrid and mismated queens, all 

 young, and good layers. Will be put up in good 

 cages, and safe arrival guaranteed. Price 40c.

For sale, 3 black queens, 35 cts. each; 6 or 8 hy-

" FABLES AND ALLEGORIES." 



Much to mv .'^urprisi', wr have scild, iliiriii^- tlic hist year, over 



sixty of thcsi' licaiilifiil and viiluahic- 1 k-. .Mtli.in'^rh at the 



time I con.-iidtTfil tin' iiock well wi.itli « (Hi, I diiln't suppose 

 there were inaiiy who \v..iild waiil to |ia\' thai iniiM' fur a book 

 of tliat charactiM-. VVIicn wr taU.' iiili. cuisidcTatkin, Imwever, 

 tliat it is not only alM.ut as handsoiiio a liooU as I'an he found 

 in our bookstores, txtciiiaUy and intrrnally, Init tliat is also a 

 book in wliich godliness and purity sluno forth fnini every 

 page, it is perhaps not so ycry surprising. Tlic book is not, iii 

 one sense, a religious book, lor the principles are taught in- 

 directly, in the form of a little story, or falde, anil sometimes 

 the reader does not see at once the application; but when it 

 hursts iii)on him he t'e< Is ,i siiirif of thankfulness for having 

 been tantrht perhaps the very lesson lie needs, hy way of a sort 



of parable. The 1 k i-ontains rd-2 patres anil :!.')0 engravings 



Blany of the latter are some of the tinest enuravings tliat arc 

 to he found in modern print. The .iiuhor of this work, Mr. 

 Charles Foster, went to his heavenlv rest during the past 



year; Imt it seems t^i me that his 1 k will stand, much as 



the I'ilui-im's Proyiess does, to help liuiM.iiiil y through ages to 

 come. Our new sloek is even nieer than the last for they are in 

 gilt hinding; hut the priie will remain the same; viz.. $2.00 each; 

 two for j;!..^0, three for $1.65 each; live or more, «1.60 each. If 

 wanted by mail, you will have to send 32 cts. extra, as the 

 book is so ver.v large and heavy. We can send it for five new 

 nanips for Uleamngs, you paying postage.
