GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



23 



GOVERNMENT BULLETINS 



The Department of Agriculture of the 

 United States is doing a great work from 

 which farmers everywhere — rich and poor 

 alike — are permitted to profit. An account- 

 ing for each experiment undertaken by Sec- 

 retary Wilson and his corps of assistants is 

 given in a bulletin on the subject published 

 for free distribution. So extensive has this 

 list of government bulletins grown that 

 there are now nearly 500 titles listed. That 

 bee-keepers who are interested in farming, 

 poultry, fruits, flowers, garden truck, etc., 

 may have an opportunity to get authentic 

 detailed information direct from the De- 

 partment at Washington, we have prepared 

 a list, as nearly complete as we could make 

 it, and will publish the name and number of 

 each bulletin now in print. 



Bulletins in this list will be sent free, so 

 long as the supply lasts, to any resident of 

 the United States, on application to his 

 Senator, Representative, or Delegate in 

 Congress, or to the Secretary of Agriculture. 

 Washington, D. C. Because of the limited 

 suppl}', applicants are urged to select only 

 a few numbers, choosing those which are of 

 special interest to them. Residents of for- 

 eign countries should apply to the Sunerin- 

 tendent of Documents, Government Printing 

 Office, Washington, D. C, who has these 

 bulletins for sale. Price 5 cents each to 

 Canada, Cuba and Mexico ; 6 cnts to other 

 foreign countries. The bulletins entitled 

 "Experiment Station Work" give briefly the 

 results of experiments performed by the 

 State experiment stations.
