KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS. 



Gleaxings is getting better and better. I take it 

 for my boy. He has .tO hives. He is IS years old. 

 We all like it for its good reading. 



New Bnin.swick, N. J., Sept. 8. Axthony Scott. 



I feel lost without GLE.-iNixGS, and do not know 

 why I discontinued it. Inclo.sed find Sl-OO, for which 

 renew my sub.scription from the date of discontinu- 

 ance. Send all of the back numbers. 



Fairmount. N. Y., Aug. 29. How.^rd C. Mills. 



A KIND WORD, AXD SOMETHING MOKE. 



I might say that in the past two weeks I have been 

 reading .some of your back numbers; and I never was 

 interested in any thing .so much in my life: and an- 

 other good thing it has done for me already — I have 

 quit using tobacco after u.sing it for 20 years, and I am 

 determined to use it no more. 



Streator, III., Sept. 10. William Dickinson. 



A kind word from an old bee-journal editor. 



Till last year I always had the sent me, but it 



was cut off. You 'A. I. R.j always .said it paid to be 

 liberal. A bee-keeper called yesterday and wanted 

 me to say which of the bee-papers is the better. I re- 

 plied that every thing in the bee-line worth printing 

 could be fovind in Glkanings. It takes Dr. Miller to 

 catch on them. I always read " .Straws " for views. 



W'enham, Mass., Aug' 9. H. Alley. 



I have to thank A. I. Root for one of the greatest 

 pleasures of my life: for in the winter of 1893, when 

 down with an attack of the grip. I an.swered your 

 adverti.sement in ( I think it was) Farm and Home, 

 and sent for your catalog and A B C. The result was 

 bee fever; and as my father had two colonies of bees 

 in box hives I got them from him and at once .sent for 

 your '■ beginner's outfit." In my .second j-ear with 

 bees I .sold $100 worth of honey: and though the two 

 succeeding years have been failures I am as much 

 interested as ever, and I hope to .see the year when I 

 will make more from mj^ bees than from my farm.
