GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Apr. 1.5. 



KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



I bought one of j-our Popular Histories of tlie 

 Civil War last fall for 75 cts., and I would not take 

 $5 for it if I could not get anotlier. It is a fine book 

 for so small a price. W. A. Peck. 



Brunswick, O., Jan. 9. 



KIND WORDS FOR OUR 1891 SECTIONS. 



The goods you shipijcd to me bj' freig:ht came 

 through all right. The freight on tlie wliole amount 

 of 81.5 lbs. was only $10.40. The sections are just 

 simply beautiful. Nothing- was damaged in the 

 least. Willie Douglas. 



Lexington, Tex., Jan. 18. 



The shears came to hand. They were for a Christ- 

 mas present for my better half, and she was so 

 highly pleased with them that slie has shown them 

 to lier lady friends, and they are so pleased with 

 them that"they all want a pair, so I oi-der ten pairs. 



Hastings Minn., Jan. 4. Wm. Dyer. 



OUR $13 sewing-machine. 



Our sewing-machine came to hand in good order, 

 and uoes as good work as a fifty-dollar macliine. It 

 certainly is a marvel for the money. Freight was 

 $1.60. ' J- H. Archer. 



Mt. Calm, Tex., Jan. 1. 



gleanings FOR ADVERTISING. 



Please discontinue my advertisement, as I have 

 received a consideralile number of replies, and can 

 surely make a selei-tion from them. I find Glean- 

 ings is a splendid i)lace to put an adv't to reacli the 

 eye of the public. Please accept thanks. 



Monongah, W. Va., Feb. 28. S. Ray. Holbert. 



WASH and be clean. 



What you say under the head of " Wash and be 

 clean " is just what I have been looking for in every 

 number of Gleanings; for I felt sure that it 

 would come, sooner or later; and I thank you for it 

 — not on my own account (for I had found out the 

 remedy without the $4.U0), but for humanity's sake. 



Leon, Wis., Mar. "L B. F. Fox. 



HOW OUR compound ENGINE WORKS. 



The engine works all right, except the bolts that 

 connect the boxing on the main-sliaft journal. They 

 will work loose wliile the engine is running, and I 

 have to stop very often to tigliteu them up. Per- 

 haps you can suggest a remedy. I wish to tell you 

 the good points about the engine that I have learned 

 so far. My boiler is onlj- 16 inches in diameter by 

 40 incties high. I have no troulile in keeping the 

 steam at 12j lbs., and we run our hive machinery 

 and a heavy 12-inch emery plow-share grinder at the 

 same time, without any trouble, only as noted 

 above. A. B. Herman. 



Burnett's Creek, Ind.. Mar. I". 



My goods were received in San Francisco Dec. 31. 

 Every thing was correct. I am esi)ecially pleased 

 with the section-former. It does beautiful work. 

 Rate from Reno, $1.18; only about $3.(X3 saved. 



Bouldin Island, Jan. 26. H. S. Thomas. 



THE NEW IMPROVED DOVETAILED HIVE. 



You have made some grand improvements on the 

 Dovetailed hive, for I find the hone.y-board stuck 

 fast everj' time with the old hive. However, I think 

 the improved hive will do better. Don't go back on 

 that outside shell lor wintering. That strikes me as 

 just about riglit, if it is put up well so it can be 

 painted, as the senior said. A. T. McKibben. 



Flag Spring, Ky. 



A GOOD TESTIMONIAL FOR OUR ANEROID 

 BAROMETER. 



The aneroid barometer came to hand in good or- 

 der. Tuesday last. I am more than pleased with it, 

 and ot)nsi(U'r it the best investment foi- the money I 

 liave made for some time. I have used both mercu- 

 rial and aneroid instruments costing several times 

 the amount; but I ask for no better than the one 

 you sent me. J. Y. Detwiler.
