.T.\PANE.SE BUCKWHEAT. 



Wliile there has been a .scarcity of all kinds of feed. 

 and consequent high prices, a gt)od deal of Japanese 

 buckwlieat has betn used for fei-d. and we have had 

 .several reports of its value fortius purpose. As it 

 is a good jielder. andmatures so soon, and likewise 

 produces honey, it is a good thing- togi-ow. We have 

 a good supi)lv of choice seed at these prices: 1 jteck. 

 a5c; '/2 bu.. 60c; 1 bu.,.flO0; -' bu.. $1.75; 10 bu.. $8.00. 

 If customers in the West will send in their oi-ders at 

 once we can ship to them from Goshen. Mo., thus 

 .saving freight. We can not shii) from there after 

 June 1. so you must l)e prompt. We can also ship 

 from Rogersville, Mich. 



REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF ALUMINIU.M RULES. 



The little rules mentioned (jn page 288 are now 

 offered us so low that we have reduced the price to 

 2(1 cts. postpaid, instead of 25; or we will mail you 

 si.\- for fl.(0. While aluminium is hardly light 

 enough to float on watei-. these i-ules. if laid care- 

 fully on tlie surface, before they are wet all over 

 will actually float on watei-. and they are certainly 

 <iuite a scientific curiosity. A stiong- light metal, 

 and one peifectly free from tarnish, as ;i rule for 

 measurements ought to be well wortli the price to 

 ^ilmost anybody. 



RIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



We are all so well pleased with youi- Leader sliears 

 that I will order three more pairs. John Karr. 

 Little Rock, Ark., April 27. 



Don't stop Gleanings; make it longer, wider, 

 Ihicker. or shorter; but don't make it so it can't get 

 to mj' postottice. I expect to take it as long asl live. 



Mt. Erie, 111.. Ap r. 15. J. J. McCov. 



A bee-keeper in earnest. 



I started after the goods with my horse. She strain- 

 ed herself going out of the stable, and I am afraid 

 she will die. I carried them home on my back. 7 

 miles. Our roads are not good here. We have the 

 ■Ohio road-law. and can't get any tiling- done on them 

 e.\cei)t what we do gratis. D. P.\r.mentier. 



Norman, Wash. 



.MUCH pleased over THE DOOLITTLE SOLAR WAX- 



extr.\ctok. 



I am very much pleased with your solar extractor. 

 It is a wonderful invention. It e.vtracts wax and 

 lioney at the same time, and the lionej- is g-ood too; 

 and such nice piu-e yellow waxl Every apiary needs 

 one. I took my liees out of the cellar Apr. 13. They 

 Kiame out stroiig and healthy. N. P. Aspinw.\ll.

A. BIG TESTIMONIAL FOR THE B.\HNES SA^W. 



I received the Barnes combined machine in the best 

 ■of order, and I must say it is the most complete ma- 

 chine of the kind I ever saw. I have worked with 

 many buzz-saws, but none will equal this one. I see 

 you have made many valuable changes in the ABC 

 since I received my first edition some five years 

 ago. A. S. Br(JWN. 



Londonderry. O., April 22. 



Can you not send me 100 pamphlets on treating 

 ■disease without medicine ? A gentleman says he 

 has not felt as well for ten years as he does now aft- 

 er using the treatment four days. Some of Dr. 

 Hall's patients are feeling a little disappointed on 

 «iccount of luning to pay H for the same treatment, 

 iis tliev have told me. T. H. Ch.\nce. 



Fostoria, O.. April 2-t. 



[We send you 100, with pleasure.] 



I have bought seeds for twentv vears, and never 

 received so much for so little money. Now. if they 

 grow well I .shall buy all mv seeds of vou hereafter. 



Mattawana, Pa.. Apr. 13. Mrs. Sarah E. Yoder. 



I subscribed for Gleanings tlu-ouglj T. G. New- 

 man & Son. I am well pleased with it. I have 

 learned enough from one article (the one on rendering- 

 old combs with suliihuric acid, page 130, Feb. 15) to 

 jtay my subscription foi-ten years. 



Elsinore, Cal., Maich 20. Lafayette Yates. 



Money is pretty scai-ce with me, and I do not keep 

 bees now; but Gleanings has been a constant visit- 

 or for the last 12 years, and I thought that Our 

 Homes and Dr. Miller's article about the thoughts 

 that come up in church were worth the price of it. 

 It seemed to hit my case exactlv. Such thoughts 

 come up, although I ti-y to keep them back on Sun- 

 day. I hope money will 1)e moi-e plentiful by the 

 time this runs out. Geo. P. Howard. 



Mexico, N. Y., Mar. 9. 



.more th.\n satisfied. 



The bees came last Fi-iday, all in good shape. The 

 memorandum bill came to hand yesterday. We de- 

 sire to express our gratitude to "you for' sending- a 

 tested in place of untested queen. I ordered un- 

 tested, because you recommend to beginners an un- 

 tested queen, one frame of brood and one pound of 

 bees. You have certainlj' given us more than speci- 

 fied. The bees aie working finely, and do not seem 

 homesick in the least. My daughter is much en- 

 couraged. H. A. Billings. 



Dayton, Ohio, May 12. 



dovetailed hives, with hoff.man frames, near 

 perfection. 



Late in December I sent you an order for ten 

 Dovetailed hives in the flat, with Hofl'man frames. 

 They came early in January, in good condition, to- 

 getlier with the other things which I sent for. I 

 was away from home when they arrived or I would 

 liave reported before. Not even one little stick was 

 missing— every thing going together like clockwork. 

 I must say that I am about as near happj- as can be 

 over my purchase; and I think that, for a single- 

 walled hive, your Dovetailed hive, with Hofl'man 

 frames, is now as near perfection as it can lie. I 

 have sent you several orders before, and never have 

 had anj -cause for complaint. Wm. H. Lu.m.

that SEWING-M.\CHINE, and how IT PLEjVSES. 



Friend Koof ;— Sewing-m;ichine No. 4, high arm, 

 was received all right. It's a daisy, and does as 

 good work as other machines .sold around here at 

 from forty to sixty dollais, and is just as good in 

 every pai-ticular. so fai- as I can see. I will just say, 

 it is all that is claimed for it, and more too. The 

 machine was not for myself, liut for a daughter who 

 is married and keeping iiouse. She and her hus- 

 band have been talking of buying a machine for 

 quite a while. When I saw your ad't in Gleanings, 

 1 at them to let me order one for them. They said 

 there were so many frauds advertised in the papers, 

 they were afraid to. I told them I would be respon- 

 sible for all frauds that come through the Gle.4N- 

 ings family. Now they are well pleased.
