GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



June 15. 



A BICYCLE TOUR 



Three gentlemen for a European tour purchased new hundred dollar 

 bicycles. One a Columbia — the others of well-known high-grade 

 manufacture. They had an agreeable trip — particularly the Colum- 

 bia rider. Before returning to America, it being late in the year — 

 and wishing to buy new machines in 1897 — they sold their wheels 

 to a London dealer. The Columbia bicycle brought $65.00. The 

 others $40.00 and $35.00 respectively. But one of thz many proofs 

 of Columbia superiority. If you look a year anead there is wise 

 economy in

Don't Neglect Your Bees. 



Bee-keeping may be made uniformly suc- 

 cessfnl by judicious feeding. It is just as 

 important with bees as witli other stock. 

 Success in feeding depends 

 very much on the feeder used.
