GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

Convention Notice. 



UNITED STATES HONEY EXHIBIT. 



Brother Bee-keeper.— The National Bee-keepers' con- 

 vention will be held Sept. 27-30. in St. Louis, in the 

 Christian Endeavor Hotel. By special arrangement all 

 bee-keepers are to board in the same house. 



At my expense, at the convention I expect to have a 

 honey display by means of a largre map of each State 

 and a shelf to hold l-ll>. square clear glass jars. Each 

 State shelf will show every kind of honey the State 

 produces. At one glance you can see in geographical 

 order all kinds of honey. Each jar will be labeled, tell- 

 ing from what gathered, and by whose bees— a good 

 way to advertise b.oney. I ask your assistance at once. 



On a postal card, name the kinds of honey samples 

 you can send me at once. I hope my shipping-bottles 

 will reach me before your reply, so I can be ready to 

 .send, by return mail, shipping' instructions. One hun- 

 dred bee-keepers are helping me : $2.60 express on first 

 package received from California. 



Please answer by return mail, stating the kinds of 

 honey you can furnish me.

 members of the National to the Central Entertainment 

 Bureau and its services? I stopped there myself, and

 Cook Ave., St. Louis, Mo. Take 18th St. car going

 lu coiiuection with the National W. T. Gary, 



Sec'y M. S. B. K. A. 



From the best information obtainable at this writing 

 the Vermont crop looks to be of extra fine quality, but 

 in quantity it will be considerably shoi-t even of last 

 year. This was occasioned by the great loss of bees 

 during the past severe winter. 



Judging from the number of letters we have had from 

 other sections it looks as though there would be a crop 

 quite up to the normal, and sufficient for all demands. 



We know there has been quite a little honey carried 

 over at this market from last season, mostly by people 

 who buy for speculative purposes, and were not quite 

 posted. This, of course, came on the market early, and, 

 at first, had a tendency to affect the ruling prices.

Idsmobile 



Built to run — and it does. 

 In selecting an autoimolsile 



You want the gfreatest road efficiency This is 

 measured by the actual horse-power transmitted 

 to the wheels, divided by the weight of the ma- 

 chine. 



The Oldsmobile Runabout has the greatest road 

 efficiency of any runab .ut made, 5x6 cylinder, 7 

 actual horse-power, weighs 1100 pounds — making 

 the horse-power per 10-lb. weight, .636. 



You want a reliabte road machine. The Olds- 

 mobile has proven itself superior to all others in 

 this respect. It is the only Runabout that has 

 been driven across the American continent. Also 

 took every prize in the famous English Reliablity 

 Run in September, 1903. 



You want simplicity in mechanism. The Olds- 

 mobile has fewest parts — it is the result of 20 

 years' experience in gas-engine building. The 

 chances of its getting out of order are reduced to 

 minimum. There's "nothing to watch but the 

 road ahead." 



You want your money's worth. The Olds- 

 mobile costs $640— and it's worth it.

 er, speed, etc. Shows our new pattern Touring 

 Runabout. $750; Light Tonneau, $950; Oldsmobile
