now carrying loads and loads of pollen and 

 sweets from the flowers to raise the thousands 

 of new bees for the coming honey crops. We 

 are busy with the orders for Hives, Sections,

 themselves over a surface for rapid work.

 people to handle the bees conveniently and 

 with profit.

FOR HOMESEEKERS. 



The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul will sell regular 

 Homeseekers' Excursion tickets to all points in South 

 Dakota, at one fare plus S2.00 for the round trip, on 

 September 18 and October 2, IStOO. This will enable 

 parties to visit the Corn Belt Exposition to be held in 

 Mitchell, S. D., September 26 to October 4, 1!»00, inclu- 

 sive. This exposition is held to demonstrate the great 

 agricultural resources, wealth, and possibilities of this 

 thriving State. The exposition is held in a gorgeously 

 decorated corn palace which for beauty can hardly be 

 excelled anywhere by a building of a temporary 

 nature. There are thousands of acres of cheap lands 

 left in South Dakata that will, under the present con-" 

 ditions in that State, rapidly increase in price, and the 

 holding of this corn palace with its many attractions, 

 that both amuse and instruct, should be an opportu- 

 nity that all land and investment seekers should em- 

 brace. 



For further information apply to a:iy ticket agent 

 of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R'y, or address
