GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Apr. 1 



" If goods are wanted quick, send to Pouder." 



Dear Sib: Indianapolis, April 1, 1911. 



Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio are covered with a sod of white clover; bees 

 have wintered fine, and are ahead of the season; their owners are taking unu- 

 sual Interest in their welfare, and I have never before had so many early 

 orders for bee-supplies as I have been securing this season. I predict that 

 some of you who are waiting till the flow begins before ordering your supplies 

 will have "fits." There was once a doctor whose specialty was fits. He 

 would throw every patient into fits and then administer his sure cure. This 

 will not work when applied to fits about bee-supplies— better order early and 

 prevent the fits. I am making all the noise that I possibly can in this limited 

 space to urge you to order ahead of the rush, and, if you finally have fits, 

 please remember that I told you so. There is a very heavy demand for the 

 line of goods that I am handling. Three carloads of new goods have recently 

 been added to my regular stock, and I am trying to be prepared for any 

 emergency. 



It would be a real pleasure to furnish you with my free catalog.

AMERICAN 

 Bee Journal 



3 Months for 10c 



We have on hand some extra copies of the American Bee .Journal for January, Feb- 

 ruary, and March, 1911, that we would like to put into the hands of those who have 

 never seen or read it. As long as they last, we will mail 3 copies for only 10 cents. 

 Should you afterward order a year's subscription, then the 10 cents may apply on it. 

 We are offering a year's subscription to the American Bee Journal and a copy of Doolittle's "Sci- 

 entiffc Queen-rearing "—both for only $1.00— the regular subscription price of the Bee Journal alone. 

 Or, if you prefer it, instead of the Doolittle book, we will mail you a copy of "The Pearce Method 

 of Bee-keeping." You might send 10 cents first for the three copies referred to, and then, after 

 reading them, send in your order for a year's subscription. We are sure you would be pleased 

 with the American Bee Journal. It is now in its 51st year. Address
