GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Sept. 1. 



Books for Bee=keepers and Others. 



Any of these books on wiiicli postage is not given 

 will be forwarded by mail, postpaid on receipt of price. 



In buying books, as every thing else, we are liable 

 to disappointment if we make a purchase without see- 

 ing the article. Admitting that the book-.seller could 

 read all the books he offers, as he has them for sale, it 

 were hardly to be expected he would be the one to 

 mention all the faults, as well as good things about 

 a book. We very much desire that those who favor us 

 with iheir patronage shall not be disappointed and 

 therefore we are going to try to prevent it by mention- 

 ing all the faults, so far as we can, that the" purchaser 

 may know what he is getting. In the following list, 

 books that we approve we have marked with a * ; 

 those we especially approve, ** ; those that are not up 

 to times, f ; books that contain but little matter for 

 the price, large type, and much space between the 

 lines, X ; foreign, §. The bee-books are all good. 



As many of the bee-books are sent with other goods 

 by freight or express, incurring no postage, we give 

 prices .separately. You will notice that you can judge 

 of the size of the books very well by the amount re- 

 quired for postage on each.

10 I Irrigation for the Farm, Garden, and Orchard* 1 10 



By Stewart. This book, .so far as I am informed, is 

 almo.st the only work on this matter that is attracting 

 -SO much interest, especially recently. Using water 

 from springs, brooks, or windmills to' take the place 

 of rain, during our great drouths, is the great problem 

 before us at the present day. The book has 274 pages 

 and 142 cuts.

3 I Onions for Profit** 40 



Fully up to the times, and includes both the old 

 onion culture and the new method. The book is fully 

 illu.strated, and written with all the enthusiasm and 

 interest that characterizes its author, T. Greiner. 

 Even if one is not particularly interested in the busi- 

 ness, almost any per.son who picks up Greiner's books 

 will like to read them through. 



I Our Farming, by T. B. Terry** 1 50 



In which he tells " how we have made a run-down 

 farm bring both profit and pleasure." 



This is a large book, 6x9 inches, 367 pages, quite ful- 

 ly illustrated. It is Terrj's fir.st large book ; and while 

 it touches on the topics treated in his smaller hand- 

 books, it is sufficiently different so that no one will 

 complain of repetition, even if he has read all of Ter- 

 ry's little books. I should call it the brightest and 

 mo.st practical book on farming, before the world at 

 the present day. The price is S2.00 postpaid, but we 

 have inade arrangements to furnish it for only 11.50. 



We are so sure it will be worth many times its cost 

 that we are not afraid to offer to take it back if any 

 one feels he has not got his money's worth after he 

 has read it. If ordered by express or freight with 

 other goods, 10c less.
